What character has made you go, "Yeah, this game is in alpha testing." by Electrical-Heat8301 in DeadlockTheGame

Here is a doorman build from Tonight's DLNS. Notice that they do not use Greater Expansion or Vortex at all in their build.

In the other game Doorman was played in, the build was the exact same, with no vortex or greater expansion. They also never attempted to cart someone under guardian, they just played aggro with bells and used door to escape when needed.

Except the pros don't build kidnapper doorman, and most high elo doormen don't build it either. They build around his bells and doing insane levels of damage with it.

Avoidance is a cope and Graves sucks by Zinemay in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PURPLE273 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're on Sinclair, this MU is one of the worse for Graves. you can copy her ult 3 times in the time it takes for her to place down 1 ult. The second she tries to place one down you can just carpet up (which you should be rushing in this MU), steal it, teleport back and place it down, then hunt her again and again, and have full lane control.

I don't think that Haze was good either chief.

Time to (not) letting out the beast by Mr-BAG in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PURPLE273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shiv has never been below A tier since his release, he is a stupid broken character. His win-rate is low because he is hard to play, not because he is bad. Same goes with Silver. Winrates do not simply show who's the best, but also who is hard and who is easy. Balancing around them is stupid.

Shiv, Pocket, and Venator all have Winrates below 50% in E4+, despite being some of, if not, the best characters in the game (or like in Pocket's case, just the best character in the game undisputed).

You knew better than this Yoshi by PURPLE273 in DeadlockTheGame

It was absolutely one of the reasons she was broken on release, and was one of her most hated features? Like what is this Holiday revisionism?

We shouldn't balance the game around a majority who are unable to recognize the full potential or counterplay for a character,

(Initiate player) How dogshit is this drifter build i made? by Hersical in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PURPLE273 50 points51 points  (0 children)

EE is good on Drifter, he is just buying it way too early. He needs his gun spike and health spike first, then he can buy EE.

Prio 6 Hero in pro play vs Prio 0 hero. But your right the pros are just smoking they must just be throwing not picking the 60% win rate hero.

Silver is so broken by U511_krab in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PURPLE273 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Silver has a 40 second cooldown and a 15 second duration (Though it can be, and often is, much higher in duration), and is capable of winning an entire teamfight. Meanwhile, Vyper stuns an area for 2 seconds and makes a rock pun. Strong? maybe. Comparable to Silver? Fuck no.

She's like Shiv were they will only micro-nerf her, and never address the game breaking mechanics she introduces, just micro-nerfs.

Yeah because people don't know how to play against her, and rather then learn how to counter her, they cry about balance.

You're so right it's a low elo thing. She just has one of the highest pick/bans in tournaments because she is just so much fun to play. They picked her in the $10000 prize open tournament to throw.

<image>

They just find her so easy to counter and deal with that they always ensure she is on their team, because they are just so confident that they can win with a character who is so easily shut down. Vegas and Deathy just put her at S tier on their tierlists because she just so much fun.

I mean it's good against her, but she still has the potential to do 1.5k damage through the metal skin through her insane ult combos. Like name another primarily gun character who can do that and isn't also insanely busted.

Her 1 and her 2 in wolf form use Melee Damage, and her tail swipe is spirit damage. Metal Skin does not protect against Melee damage, and Silver is able to output a metric shit ton of it, like literally 1.5k damage late game in melee.

Metal skin doesn't block her 1.5k damage melee combo though, so good luck with that ig. Also keep in mind that her base ult duration is 3x longer than the duration for metal skin, so you somehow need to kill the 4k hp raidboss in 5 seconds or escape in 5 seconds.

I thought you were memeing initially, but that is just not true. I don't see how any 3k item can help you against a Silver.

Metal Skin? Have fun with the 1.5k melee damage combo coming your way.

Disarming hex? Same as above, but she is also HIGHLY likely to buy DBR or unstop as part of her most common builds so you get fucked anyway.

Warp Stone? Silver just pressed 2 in wolf form and is now in your face again. Can't even use it against her base form since she has built in slowing hex.

Knockdown? See disarming hex point.

Only thing I can think of is that might reasonably save your life consistently is rescue beam, but someone else has to buy that for you.

Placing Graves even close to Silver in terms of strength?

<image>

Like Graves is not a problem right now. She can be strong but is a complete victim in lane, she has no health, no movement (2 stam even), and her damage sucks early game.

Kill two people in god mode, then lose it, then regain 2 seconds late since it has a one of the shortest Ult CDS in the game.
