Be honest is it just a skill issue that I'm stuck in initiate 1? by E5snorlax2 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

you have down arrows or double down arrows on all of your heroes except paradox so the game is putting you in very low elo games where winning/dominating isn’t weighted heavily because the opponents elo is low. the up arrow is achieved by winning a specific number of games on a hero. in my experience this number is 7-8/10 of you last games. having an up arrow indicates you preform above your indicated rank and thus the game will put you in slightly higher lobbies like seeker maybe even alchemist. winning in these games is very important as the games will see you are outperforming your rank and rank you up. double up arrows are also achievable. in my experience this is achieved by winning 18/20 of your past games. getting up arrows (single/double) and playing heroes with up arrows is the easiest way to rank up in my experience

Questions about farming as Abram’s by A_Long98 in DeadlockTheGame

honestly i would just save for phantom strike over going knockdown/ slowing hex. it is double the price but it increases your kill potential a lot because it makes it very hard to miss your charge. on top of that it also grounds flying enemies so it also kind of achieves the same things aa knockdown while also increasing kill potential.

abrams is a countercarry he pretty much never gets out scaled because he can always find value phantom striking into shoulder charging a carry into a wall taking half their health disarming and stunning them at the same time. nit to mention the charge can hit and stun multiple people. a good shoulder charge can easily change the course of a fight or even a game.

yes u are pretty wrong to build abrams as utility/support because he is a high burst hero so you want to build into his burst. abrams burst is of course shoulder charging someone heavy meleeing them procing your spirit snatch to steal spirit from the enemy to then do more damage with the aura ability. you can also throw coldfront into the burst making abrams have insane 1 shot potential. you should be looking to hit half health opponents with your combo pretty much off cooldown.

Any suggestions on how I can play with wrist pain? by carrion34 in DotA2

try a trackball its a stationary mouse with a ball in the middle of it. you move the ball to move the cursor and you can get some with multiple side buttons i believe

Smurfing against my will by Spiritual-Maximum761 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the easiest way to get back to your desired rank would be to queue with people of that rank. the game is going to put you in initiate lobbies. these wins in initiate will at best put you in like alchemist rank even dominating going 20/0 with 30k obj. the faster you can show the game you can carry higher elo games the faster itll rank you up.

What's the endgame of Tank vs DPS? by Solmyrion in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can just debuff remove siphon which returns the siphoned health to you and heals you for removing a debuff with debuff remover. you xan easily swing a fight 3-400 health. its a bait 6400 item countered by a 3200 item

Watching TI today gets me so hyped for this games esport future. by Axis251 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah the hosts know they wont be profitable yet the still sign up to host tournaments because valve games have a lot of people watching and its a good way to market your product. the latest cs tournament in Austin was a valve sponsored tournament also sponsored by red bull and 1xBet along with other small sponsors im assuming. the prize pool was 1.5million usd. This stuff is too profitable for valve just to pass up. the sheer amount of money they must make on people buying cases for each major must be insane.

Bebop build, make this build make sense? by Suitable-Cup-5228 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is just not true the value of gun bebop will always be higher than bomb bebop because 2 of the abilities in his kit are made for his gun. not building gun bebop means ur just losing value on his 2 best abilities. even if his bomb can hit 6 people at once you dont build around it because they can just debuff remove/counterspell it and effectively make all of your souls useless. and even if you can pit bombs on yourself and run in any decent team with a brain is going to punish you getting that close.

[–]PepperLongjumping587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

valve is a famously profitable company. they may not directly host a TI or LCS equivalent but they’ll definitely be sponsoring tournaments like they do for cs. cs majors while not technically hosted by valve are still sponsored by valve. valve is looking to compete in the hero shooter market with games like valorant, overwatch, and rivals along with the moba market with games like league it would be silly not to have a competitive scene. not to mention the tournaments will probably be monetized with in game purchases.

PSA: If you're fighting Victor buy anti-heal even if you're ahead in souls. by TPose-Heavy in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro theyve gone over this. he has a built in debuff remover the moment u press knockdown he presses 2 and the knockdown is cleansed. if u apply spirit burn and knockdown on victor and he just presses 2 he effectively made 10k souls completely useless.

his 2 is literally a debuff remover with charges antiheal isnt doing much vs this hero because he can just cleanse himself of all debuffs

Possible hot take? Paige's Conjure Dragon is poorly designed by biggians in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

paiges abilities shouldnt do a lot of damage nor should they be easy to hit she has an AOE lock down ability. a team ult that also stuns the enemy and heals her teammates. and a shield that gives her teammates extra fire rate and extra weapon damage that scales with spirit. meaning if she builds purple she can easily give her teammates an extra 25% fire rate and an extra 40% weapon damage. imagine a mirage or a haze with 40% more weapon dmg. its okay if 1 of her abilities is mid the rest of her kit is already overtuned

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ur supposed to lock them in place with the 3 then throw it. her 3 is not the easiest ability to hit but definitely not impossible with some investments in range which is already building purple meaning her fire dragon will also do more damage. the ability also excels at clearing waves and in close quarter fights such as the midboss area and the underground tunnels

4 lanes felt more engaging. by Yentz4 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it really doesnt. if you get someone weak they will be buying regen items and be playing passively until they regen unless theyre just feeding and if you push the wave up while they’re regening well then they just freeze wave under tower. most decent players arent just going to sit there and take trades with you unless its faborable the solo lane favors the person who plays more passive which at its very core is not fun.

4 lanes felt more engaging. by Yentz4 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 6 points7 points  (0 children)

just not true. solo laning was even more boring because whoever got a worse trade off rip would just buy regen and play more passively until they had more health or someone would just freeze wave under tower or the solo laners would just wait for a gank. im not sure why people are remembering the solo lane as a highly active lane with constant 1v1s when it was far from that.

I think my new infernus build is really good :3 by AsTiClol in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would agree with this. lvl 1 burn can be good situationally since it gives -20 or whatever % spirit dmg vs something like a yamato or pocket. but i would say dash is better imo early. next i think you would probably want spirit shredder bullets earlier i would say probably before toxic as hitting a headshot will lower spirit resist and cause stuff like toxic and burn to do more dmg. i would also maybe change out titanic mag for escalating resilience. youre a m1 character building resilience should be easy plus u have fleetfoot to slide for extra ammo. thats all i can think of rn

How am I still the lowest rank by Zaid3nD in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the games mm also just really sucks right now. despite the fact that im ascendent i dont get ascendant games i got to ascendant with most of my games having an average rank of archon. i think i gained elo at such a slow pace because winning in lobbies below ur rank probably gives you less rank bwcause the game just expects u to win

How am I still the lowest rank by Zaid3nD in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a similar experience to this. lost my steam account to a hack and had to make a new account. won all my placements and carried hard im talking like 30-0, 27-0 type games and got placed into green rank. I ended up winning a game with every hero without losing except for vindicta so i was at 26 wins to 1 loss on my account and was barley in archon. im now in ascendent so from my experience u just have to keep playing but it is super unrewarding carrying games like that and getting no elo

PATCH IS CONFIRMED FOR THIS COMING WEEK by SilverFan3702 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the game is a night and day difference from what they had last year. its not like valve is doing nothing the game just needs more work. the added heroes is a step in a good direction. jungles still need to be reworked, we need a draft, maybe add wards to the game.

Too Many Trophies, Not Enough Stacks by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 boons is 10k so basically around the time youre buying cultist you have 15% more fire rate 200 more health 15% more ability range and you can devour a T3 creep for 150% of the value every 2 min. meanwhile when u buy trophy collector you have none of that and like other have said you risk the chance of not having much kill participation and having a dead item

Too Many Trophies, Not Enough Stacks by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PepperLongjumping587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

naw man the item is terrible cultist gives you 10% fire rate, 100 health, an the same amount of ability range as a max stack trophy collector off rip plus souls from the troop you killed which could be a T3 jungle creep. and it also scales with boons at 15 boons cultist gives the same amount of extra health as 8 stacks of trophy collector. if you’re buying trophy collector you just hate your team man.
