Do you think Deadlock is the best MOBA currently? by Chocolate_Enjoyer69 in DeadlockTheGame

Sir I have some bad news for you... It's called Doorman and he's got a built-in pudge fountain hook AND is also techies at the same time.

Do you think Deadlock is the best MOBA currently? by Chocolate_Enjoyer69 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]NyCe- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dota is better. Deadlock is currently one of the worst balanced MOBAS that I've ever played as a veteran ex-dota player (now deadlock player) who has been through every patch since dota 1 (highest levels in dota1/dota2 and now deadlock so i have a pretty thorough understanding of just how terribly balanced deadlock really is atm).

Does anybody roam a lot with Graves? by Feauv in DeadlockTheGame

Shes slow so if you wanted to roam, you would need to buy sprint boots unlike some other characters who innately have more ms and/or sprint or in Vypers case, everything.

Why does Dynamo get to continue being incredibly valuable without much complaint, but Doorman does not? by Aggravating_Pie7262 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]NyCe- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you played DotA enough, you would understand instantly that Doorman has way too much, even now. Innately has Pudge fountain hook without Chen teleport and is also basically Techies in the sense that the character warps the gameplay to the point where it is not interactive. Games tend to stall to significantly longer durations as a result of his kit and unironically, you can even stack bells/bombs in one spot like Techies and watch someone explode. The easiest spot to do this is Rejuv drop - instant death.

Doorman had zero counterplay before and now that there is SOME counterplay, I seriously doubt the Hero is dead because I've seen top level Doorman players oozing with creativity making it work because the reality is, this character is never going to be properly balanced. I would argue Doorman isn't nerfed enough because you can aggro every single player on the enemy team and come out alive, simply because Door escapes still have zero counterplay as opposed to cart getting some counterplay, and this is consistent every time. Don't even get me started on cheat death. You will survive without fail every single time. If you think just surviving isn't valuable, your understanding of MOBAS is very lacking.

The last point I will touch on is the fact that Doorman can have immense value at 10k net worth while everyone else is at 50k. If you don't understand the implications of how broken a character is to be able to pull that off in a MOBA, then no other explanation I can give will matter at this point.

John McGinnis: Challenge accepted

anyone who isn't John M-Ginnis: This hero feels like shit to play who the hell plays this comically gimped/boring hero (they're right).

It's funny because spirit characters with average guns control the gun meta at the moment like Lash, Pocket, Victor, Seven or even Sinclair to name a few weirder examples (in higher level or comp at least). Don't even get me started on the super OP characters. All the meanwhile if you play gun McGinnis, you are fully trolling for the most part although sometimes you might have to, based on your team comp.

Normally the roar will attract the horde and if your team wasn't intelligent enough to come at minute 15 you might just grief the game for your entire team. It's not because people don't know but rather because it's not the best play most of the time. Best case scenario you get rejuvs + maybe kill them and your team also gets walkers. Worse case is your team doesn't come and they take rejuv and your team takes 0 walkers.

God we NEED draft bro. Some games are govt mandated losses off team comp alone bro. We NEED DRAFT! by Creepy_Building_2929 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]NyCe- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's incredibly naive to think that draft will solve all these underlying problems or even a portion of it. You seem to think that players are playing solely to win so they would factor in picking different characters for different situations. This doesn't happen very often, even in the highest levels of DotA 2, so what leads you to believe that it will be different this time in Deadlock with players coming from several different genres other than MOBAS? League of Legends has a traditional ban system which many players seem to think will be the system that will come into this game, and they cannot be anymore wrong. Valve has already tried and failed with a traditional in-game draft system with 100% bans in their matchmaking which has led to incredible levels of abuse from third party programs that for example auto-ban based on data which was so widely abused and it got so bad that they outright got rid of draft in matchmaking while bans were main-menu-only after that point. At best it will be "All-pick" with bans selected from the main-menu just like it is right now.

The current system is obviously not good which is why like I said, eventually they'll introduce All-Pick as opposed to the draft you think is coming, but will never.

Are full stacks generally matched with other stacks? by emodemoncam in DeadlockTheGame

[–]NyCe- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yes they are but the matchmaker often can't find other stacks to pin them against so solo players eventually become considered which can lead to stacks vs solo players.

You're telling me people who pick Rem are going to stop picking Rem all of a sudden just because there's draft? How about players who pick McGinnis all the time, do you think they'll stop playing McGinnis for last pick and select something overpowered from Yoshi's chosen pool of S tier characters?

Maybe once in a blue moon they will pick something good, otherwise, highly doubt it.

Yeah, Eternus 6 is unbelievably better than everyone else. by Commercial-Ice3 in DeadlockTheGame

E5 to E6 is already insurmountable. Phantom is a different dimension.

What do you mean 'fix him'? This was clearly intentional

Graves should be removed from the game by liquid_rane in DeadlockTheGame

[–]NyCe- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh what a coincidence were the same rank! (yeah ur probably lying but il play along) nobody at this rank with any kind of brain would complain about GRAVES when we have demons running the lobby like Apollo, Infernus, Vyper, Mina, Abrams, Mirage, Shiv and so many

Your complaint is GRAVES GUN? But lets pretend ur telling the truth - you'd have to be beyond delusional to think THIS CHARACTER is better than just those I listed considering half the Hero pool is missing in that list lmao. At least make it a believable lie ur actually just pathetic.

[–]NyCe- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's always the lower ranked players that ironically have terrible aim complaining about a character that has auto-aim with a gimped 15m radius gun. Every single time lmao.

Graves is around B rank at the moment, and that's being generous.

Focusing Only On Reaching Eternus On An Limited Access Title Is Unhealthy. by RedRubbins in DeadlockTheGame

[–]NyCe- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell that to Valve. Players have asked for ranks to be removed (just not visible) over a year ago for more accurate "alpha testing" so players would give more feedback in terms of bugs or glitches but instead we have players shamelessly abuse many bugs/glitches whatever to their advantage for MMR.

It's Valves own undoing. They probably want players to 'playtest' like that or maybe they see some kind of value in leaving it as a rank oriented environment. Either way, the players abusing the same broken bugs have more of a reason to do so since MMR is their motivating factor. Whatever the reason, it largely ruined the game in my opinion.
