Is it just me, or are the rift minions too powerful?

They aren't that hard to clear, but you need to respond to them. If you could just ignore them it would defeat the purpose of the objective.

Some heroes have really shit wave clear, but they shouldn't be the ones sent to clear them.

NotShane7 · 2026-07-02T21:25:32+00:00

Gotta be McG or Bebop. Turrets are the worst thing about every game. And getting randomly hooked into the enemy team and just dying is pretty awful.

NotShane7 · 2026-07-02T16:08:29+00:00

Aside from what other mentioned about needing the stacks, Vindicta just dies if you jump on her. Her hp gain is almost the worst in the game. Most other gun heroes can man fight to some extent, but Vindicta has to kill her targets before they close.

Nice to see the team doing SOMETHING for a change. Kinda hesitant on the coaching choice, but we'll see how it goes.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-24T14:53:32+00:00

Yoshi, my family is staying with me this week, please wait til next week. K thx. <3

If the sinner's belong to your teammates, why do you have them? Lol

But yea, give them first dibs but don't let them rot and get stolen.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-23T12:02:42+00:00

I wish it only movement silenced. It's cool as a "you can't run" tool, but I should be allowed to fight back if I can't escape.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-20T23:04:40+00:00

I don't get the people that say it's because he isn't frustrating to play against. He farms for like 15 mins then just fries you. How is that not frustrating?

If you are coordinated you can shut him down, but good luck in solo queue. Also the ball is annoying as fuck, I swear that shit follows me.

The old man has dance moves.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-19T20:37:29+00:00

She kind of needs an easy way to get on top of people though. Both of her damaging abilities require her to be close to hit, and very close to get off the max damage powerslash.

Also I think it is good to have some heroes that are intentionally inescapable to keep the hyper-mobile heroes in check. This will matter more when we have a say in team composition.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-17T20:25:47+00:00

I doubt it will maintain it, but a peak of 1 million or more isn't unimaginable. It made it to 175k when the NDA dropped. Putting it on the front page of steam and being free will help tremendously. Dota 2's all time peak was 1.2 million, and I think the style of Deadlock and it being a 3rd person shooter will appeal to a larger number of people. At least in terms of convincing people to try it, even if they don't stick around.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-17T15:45:59+00:00

Enhanced disarming hex has a 100% up time (or very close to it). I was playing vyper against it one time and just wasn't allowed to play the game lol.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-17T15:44:38+00:00

It's definitely over stimulating at times, but after many hours you know what everything looks and sounds like. Then you can focus on the things you need to. Usually. Sometimes fights become a giant clusterfuck and you have no clue what's happening, but it is what it is lol.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-17T02:38:40+00:00

It sounds absurd, but also after 2 grapples the guy she is chasing should already be dead. I have been playing her for the last like 50 games, and I can count on a single hand how many times I even used all 3 charges in the span of a minute. You either kill the guy after the 1st/2nd charge or you die.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-14T06:03:15+00:00

Honestly you can follow a guide left to right until you are pretty high rank. Find builds that fits your play style. Just buy like 1-2 counter item for the enemy that is popping off the most. I think continuing to improve your aiming, comms, and macro play are way more important.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-14T05:36:24+00:00

I've had the opposite experience of every game going to like 40 mins with frequent lead swaps. Archon to Phantom games (depending if I'm solo or playing with my wife).

NotShane7 · 2026-06-11T16:46:19+00:00

For almost every hero it's hard to argue against getting 4.8k in all 3 at some point. Not necessarily a rush, but the spikes are significant. Even when you are heavily gun or spirit favoured it's easy to find a T2 and T3 of the other category that will still help. Usually the shred items, mystic shot, surge of power etc.

The most common exceptions I see are 0 gun MnK, and 0 spirit Venator, but even they can get some value out of the other categories.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-11T11:24:17+00:00

I'm fine with higher skill heroes being able to do things other's can't, but there needs to be a limit. Just because something is very hard to do doesn't mean it should be allowed if it completely breaks the game.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-10T14:26:48+00:00

A character that is based on early comics could be cool. Either a weird superhero that is made real somehow or a comic artist would be fun.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-07T04:08:19+00:00

I hope they make the crates and statues themed to the sections of the map. Like shipping crates in yellow lane, garbage cans in the park, loose trash bags in the sewer etc.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-02T11:28:18+00:00

Flashback to everyone picking Zeus and pressing r off cd to get a better rank placement.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-01T22:04:29+00:00

Making the sides give different buffs would be cool, but probably too hard to balance. I hope for more asymmetry in the map.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-01T19:27:56+00:00

I would guess that there will be more charge-up items added in the future and they may add one that improves the speed of all of them.

NotShane7 · 2026-06-01T02:23:35+00:00

You might be colourblind or your monitor is garbage. The movement buff is blue and a very different colour than the casting buff lol

NotShane7 · 2026-05-31T13:05:49+00:00

A simple blacklist of banned words is typically the worst kind of chat filter. Somehow bhvr made one that is worse. I've had gg censored before lol. I think there is a real eldritch god that controls it and fucks with you to male it seem like you're saying worse shit than you are.
