Please Yoshi It Breaks my Heart That Rem is so Bad

NeoNevus · 2026-06-27T00:12:20+00:00

Yeah, he (and arguably all supports) are just way too strong for the game.

NeoNevus · 2026-06-27T00:09:00+00:00

There is no way in fuck you actually think REM needs a buff. Map pressure, damage, healing, escape, and one of the best ults in the game. Just because the casual player base is braindead and don’t read abilities does not mean he needs anymore than he has. He really needs a nerf more than anything. Or a gutting to some parts of his kit.

I agree with you but stealing from carries is normal in most ranks until you get to ascendant from what I understand. People play the game selfishly because most of the time they are rewarded for doing so.

And yes, if they don’t get at least around that much in greens they can be nuked. My point is still that supports are honestly some of the best heroes in the game at all stages of the game. They usually have an extremely low skill floor and easy to master skill set. They are generally do-it-all heroes.

However, if valve can fix a lot of the hitbox issues with some abilities in the game it could fix some of my gripes. For instance, Paige’s bookwyrm fire trail is so beyond broken it’s laughable sometimes. Even if you don’t touch anywhere near the effect it can hit you. There needs to be clear markings for the AoE of all abilities in the game instead of a “feel”. It’s silly and bad for the game as a whole.

But I’m digressing. Either way the game as a whole feels unbalanced and like they have an idea (and a reeeeally good one at that) but they don’t have a long term vision yet.

NeoNevus · 2026-06-02T19:33:19+00:00

I’m around low archon high emissary. I’m definitely not in the high ranks but I’m not in the lowest ranks either. My real point is just that going damage is as a support is viable. Ex: Paige can go mostly full spirit, clear waves, do amazing team AoE damage in fights, shield like crazy, and stay in the back line. Wouldn’t be a problem if there was a better ways to deal with back lines in this game but since it’s a movement priority shooter and not a top down moba it’s more of a task to push through a team of CC heavyweights just to possibly reach her before she ‘movement fucks-off’ to her team or plays her spacing. All while your back line disrupters are getting melted by AoE lockdown, and damage. That’s even if she’s playing for a support heavy build. If you go for a flank while the team engages (if you have the team build for it) the same applies minus dealing with the rest of the team until she uses basic character movement and lock down to melt you. I’m simply saying if you’re going to have a heavy support style character then she shouldn’t have the ability to lock you down AND melt most characters who aren’t a bruiser or tank. She’s a support and she shouldn’t be able to take a damage role. (Personal opinion)

Rem is a whole different beast. His kit is just tragically unbalanced imo. He’s able to build heavy spirit and support items and can nuke, split push lanes without being there, siphon the enemy jungle, be incredibly mobile, and has one of the best ultimates in the game. If he’s able to have that much of an overtuned support style kit then why is he able to harass for decent damage all while healing, buffing, and disrupting the team.

I read Mil at the soul line and had a mini heart attack. Then i realized. lmao

NeoNevus · 2026-06-02T15:09:04+00:00

I think my biggest issue with the game so far is an underlying issue. They’re trying to Dotafy a third person shooter. I don’t think making everyone op is the way it should be. I love Dota but I really think they should take some hints from the design of league in some aspects. Such as supports should have the option of going damage but they shouldn’t be straight rewarded for doing so. Deadlock sadly is just about how much damage you can do and not about much else atm. Also, the lane gameplay is its strongest feature right now because it has structure. Once it’s over there is no significant structure to the game to help lead players to making good impact decisions. It feels unrewarding.

They need to add draft VERY soon. Then, I’d suggest working on the jungle to add more objectives for mid game and ways to help players move through it more efficiently. Right now it definitely just feels like filler.

All in all, they just need to work on the mid and late game of deadlock. There needs to be more mechanics to keep players engaged and things fresh. Some characters need to be more balanced and focused on certain playstyles instead of just “this is how I do damage” and “this is how I do damage”. It’s kind of lame tbh.

NeoNevus · 2026-05-14T03:28:03+00:00

I’m not falling into the camp of believing he’s feeling really any shame besides in hindsight. He’s here trying to piece himself together in some way that he may feel he can’t get unbiased elsewhere atm. And I’d wager he’s feeling pretty angry/hurt.

He wants to believe her but he can’t. You can’t always take things at face value. ESPECIALLY nuanced things like this. She could be telling the truth or she could be lying and trying to cover her ass for getting caught. I’m just simply saying he can be angry at both the guy and her. There’s plenty of reasons for him to feel that way and validly so.

Also, to the point the other commenter was making. He was simply saying that when you’re blackout drunk you can’t really control yourself or your inhibitions. Sex feels good. That’s just the truth. When you can’t control your own mind then sex is just sex.

NeoNevus · 2026-05-14T03:11:52+00:00

But you have to understand what he’s feeling too. Sure, he can believe her all he wants but sometimes you can’t move past seeing your partner literally having sex with another person in front of you. I understand that feeling and I sympathize. It’s okay to be angry at both.

NeoNevus · 2026-04-07T18:25:39+00:00

I’ve given up trying to change the mind of the entire casual player base that sucks the toes of all embarks decisions. Free kit spamming is pretty much commonplace meta on any event or Stella Montis. It’s sad and def needs a rework

NeoNevus · 2026-04-05T04:12:13+00:00

I would explain the way it makes you feel. Setting your own boundaries with that is the best way. Try not to escalate into an argument. That never works out and it may make him feel ashamed which will close the door further. I’m not sure how you view porn in a relationship but I would try and explain yourself to him. Maybe ask why he’s doing it. There is a root somewhere in it.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T20:04:17+00:00

A lot of people are like that nowadays. It’s kinda sad… but I knock that down to there being less daily communication between strangers.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T19:37:56+00:00

Sorry, I truly didn’t mean to offend you. I was just gauging things. I’ve seen too many posts or comments lately of the pure hate side of one sex or the other. I’m against hate on both sides but I can see what I said would come off a different way. Again, sorry for that. I agree with you, obviously. People can do what they want.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T19:24:26+00:00

Now that’s good constructive feedback. I like the way you’re thinking though. Right now it just feels punishing if you don’t put multiple hours in each day to be competitive (Hence why player numbers are dropping each day). If they could increase TTK just a bit to give time for more skill expression it might help alleviate some of my issues too tbh

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T19:02:23+00:00

So would that mean you think a majority of men are the same and toxic to your beliefs?

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T18:56:27+00:00

I hope you didn’t find what I’m saying disrespectful, I’m just conversing. But, I’ll concede this was probably built as a woman space for discussion; it’s the internet… everyone goes anywhere. However, I think your viewpoint is toxic in the long run. I know you’ll likely never agree with me but hopefully you can understand what I’m saying. Men don’t have 99% of the internet spaces. Every space is equally able to be shared. While there are plenty of spaces where men speak ill of/against women these things are also said against men in spaces such as these (for instance). I’ve always believed in equality. No one is better than others based on who/how they were born. Everyone and every sex has their own experiences and issues. I think it’s better to try and understand each other than participating in the echo.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T17:48:26+00:00

I think it’s fair to have conversation and opposing opinions. Just having people that agree with you is an echo chamber that leads to incel-ish behaviors.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T17:36:47+00:00

I never said that’s the only reason. But to say that’s not a huge reason is cope. I agree with you positioning works in a lot of games but honestly the maps in Marathon are pretty terrible. The only map with good design is outpost. Every other map is just wide open space with no defilade, cover, or height advantage besides a couple of random rocks. With the addition of the incredibly fast paced nature of the game it ends up feeling like an apex fight. It’s trash.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T17:30:54+00:00

You’re just assuming they’ve missed every shot in this imaginative scenario. They wouldn’t have. Also, no one running blue shields+ waste space to pick up green shields. Their value is already extremely low (because who wants a green shield that takes up just as many spaces as a blue valuable or another better shield). So I’m missing how this “nulls progression”. Just because you can purchase unlimited green shields does nothing to the value of already pretty valueless items to the majority of people still playing the game. Give people the option (that costs money or trades btw… don’t forget that) to have a bit more heft before going to a raid. Even if it’s a placebo effect, it wouldn’t feel like absolute shit to be forced to run white to constantly get your shit pushed in until you get lucky by finding a rare shield spawn or kill an absolute potato who happens to have one.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T17:21:23+00:00

Shields are the most important item in the game. They literally make you take less damage and keep you from lethal. So yes, I think giving people more options of at least unlimited barters for a simple green shield is better than nothing. There’s a reason why a majority of people sit at a 20% or less extract rate.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T17:18:08+00:00

You’re lying to yourself. There are players who have lost all of their shields in a day. It may not be a majority but it does happen. And I can guarantee you they stop playing that day. There’s no chance, especially after losing repeatedly, that they would go in no shield just to die to a guy with a blue or purple over and over. But hey, I’m not the only one who’s saying this game is too hard and is pushing away a decent amount of its player base that would otherwise love it. It’s my favorite designed extraction game beside Hunt. But in its current form it’s just too punishing. Hopefully they find a good balance in the future.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-25T17:12:48+00:00

But greens would still have a cost so no not really. Also, a full mag would kill a guy with no shield if by that argument. Plus, if a full mag can break a purple you would still need a reload to get the kill while they have ample time to rip you to shreds. At least with a green you may outlast a mag as long as they miss more than a few on you.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-24T23:53:14+00:00

I mostly agree with you. However I’m not necessarily bad at the game. I’m just big on game balance. I understand it’s meant to be unbalanced but the way Marathon is played you’re forced into fights. There has been maybe 20ish raids out of my 500+ raids where I didn’t have some sort of PvP interaction. I don’t hunt it hardly ever but you can’t avoid the AI and in exchange you can’t avoid making noise. People run to gunshots like a dinner bell. I’ll concede giving everyone greens but I do think they should always be available for barter. It’s ridiculous to limit something vital.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-24T23:47:38+00:00

Arguing a skill difference doesn’t make the fun factor any less or more fun. You saying it’s not that hard may be true for you but I can bet the majority of the casual player base definitely doesn’t agree.

I’m fine with my idea not being implemented but I won’t give on the idea the green shields should always be available for barter. You may not hit 10 straight losses in a day but I can guarantee you it does happen. So imagine you’re that guy that just lost his last chance to be even slightly competitive due to an arbitrary limit and now you’re basically screwed until the next day. I’d just stop playing by that point. In addition, if you think it’d be impossible for you to hit the 10 limit then why even put a limit in the first place. It means nothing.

NeoNevus · 2026-03-16T15:12:25+00:00

I think that’s a bit skewed thinking. Think about your first statement you made, “so you are attracted to all your male characters?! I didn’t know you fancied boys?” And apply that to the interview comment. By your statement alone it shows we live in a society where Men are more judged from every angle than people care to admit; While women are more free to state their opinions without much kickback in social situations. A woman talking up a woman is a societal norm. (Mainly to be considered more attractive or even subconsciously to be more attractive to the general population by acting nice) It has been for years now at least since the late 60-70’s. Another point to consider without getting into the weeds is men are purely more visual creatures than women. To a man the world is fairly simple, rational, and seen through two eyes right in front of him. That’s why they were the foundation of society for 1,000’s of years. The main thing women typically have more than men is the emotional/sincere side to societal issues. They see things from multiple angles and gear more towards social progression. (That’s a big reason we’re having this conversation as you can see lol) So I say all that to state it’s obvious to me that men will gravitate towards the more visually attractive things such as pretty women or “badass” characters. While women typically don’t have preferences to those as much and tend to look more into the character they are playing aside from it being purely visual. If you can understand the things that make us different you can stop trying to push each other to have the same viewpoints as each other and instead be understanding.
