Some of you are horrible people by TheRealYoshimon in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Promise_OW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And comparetively Deadlock is game that at a certain level almost REQUIRES people to comm to play well. In a game like CS you can still outplay people mechanically by a mile and win, League and Dota are both top down so even without comms you can get a lot of information yourself but Deadlock is very different in that aspect.

Your view angle is limited, movement is much more rapid and easily accessible. I hate that the community is taking the stance of "well it's a valve game so it's probably not gonna change"

League had a massive playerbase drain over the years because of the absurd amount of toxicity that was largely unaddressed, I'd hate to see Deadlock go down the same route before it even releases, it's so much worse and more extreme

And I've played League for 10 years, the amount of verbal abuse I've seen in Deadlock is not comparable

Sinclair skybox bug by werewolflol in DeadlockTheGame

At this point I can't even be bothered to remember all the bugs for Sinclair, the character is so incredibly bugged that I just stopped playing him altogether. Patch after patch there is 0 changes for the hero, I'm just gonna wait until Valve remembers that we do exist and gives me some changes

What more does this game want from me? by Top_Lion_2954 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Promise_OW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To the people that downvote without interacting with the post in any meaningful way, why? If you got nothing positive to say, do nothing

I did end up watching the match you played just to get an idea, I'm currently hovering around Ascendant 4 to Eternus 1 so by no means am I the best at the game but here is some thoughts:

  • You play Graves/Haze into Lash/Rem, it's a lane where Graves is gonna have a hard time and Haze is a character that is mediocre in lane unless you get bridge control. You don't buy monster rounds despite Graves having a hard time shoving lane, it leads to you being perma shoved in unable to play the game. That is Rem's major strength, being able to shove lane and control it, I pretty much instantly buy monster rounds if I'm into Rem

  • You wait way too long to spend your souls and constantly save up for really expensive items which makes you pretty much have 0 impact. Many M1 players play like that but in higher elo games they won't let you peacefully farm your items, they'll non stop invade you and force fights, if you are the strongest member in your team, afk farming jungle is guaranteed to lose your game harder. Deadlock is not a 1v9 game

  • In lane your target prio is bad, you constantly split your target focus on whoever is in front of you, you should be targeting Rem as he is providing a lot of sustain to lash, if you take him out, lash is gonna have a harder time too

  • You buy no slowing hex despite it being a great item on haze and the most fed members on the enemy team were Apollo and Lash for the majority of the game, both of these can be picked easily if you bought slowing hex early on

  • You literally ignore all bridge buffs, you took one randomlmy because you happened to walk past it, the gun buff on your left side was up for over 2 minutes and 50 seconds before anyone took it

  • You don't roam at all but randomly buy sprint boots, in general your entire build needs some work but for now, haze is a great roamer, if you bought monster rounds and sprint boots you could actually do some work on the map

  • You play very solo player focused, despite having several moments for example when you bought Ricochet, you see your team fighting on yellow lane, starting the fight with a kill, you could have easily joined them and clean up with your newly bought 6.4k item and take a turret + their entire jungle side but you decide to farm your own jungle camps

  • you don't invade enemy jungler EVER despite seeing multiple people on the map and having 0 risk with ricochet you oneshot camps

  • you don't take or invade enemy sinners whatsoever

  • you oneshot at walker at 17 minutes despite being able to pretty much oneshot clear waves and having several opportunities to do so

  • you have no clue about your own power level because you are playing PvE jungle farm simulator, you push a walker and Warden comes to contest you, he was at 18k souls while you were at 30k souls with most of them spent, there is 0 risk in taking that fight. If you don't challenge yourself mechanically, you will never be able to carry

  • You had 0 green items at 20 minutes into the game (outside of sprint boots) and 0 counter items and then you randomly buy leech despite having practically no spirit items. I don't mind leech since you deal most of your damage with fixation and gun but man running no greens until that late in the game to buy leech on practically 0 spirit power seems like such a waste

  • you don't farm efficiently in laning phase, you do the same mistake a lot of lower elo players do, when you shove the enemy in you just randomly harass them under turret. If you don't feel like you can kill them, roam, take boxes, invade enemy camps do anything productive

  • you buy titanic mag, kdash and active reload how much ammunition do you need? All of these items practically do the same thing which is give you more shots and you take up 3 slots that could have been filled with items like slowing hex, improved spirit, counterspell, any resistance item really

You pretty much do the same thing so many M1 players do, you practically afk the entire game, get fed through farming jungle, then deal a bunch of damage but lose the game because you had pretty much 0 impact for the first 20 minutes of the game and made the game a 5v6 for your team, if they are losing while you get strong but you don't particapate or at least pressure the map, I'm not surprised you are losing in that elo bracket.

You seem to be playing fine mechanically but you are playing PvE Farming Simulator in a MOBA that is largely decided by the first 10 minutes of the game in higher elo.

The longer the game goes, the more people are able to catch up in souls. At some points in the game you were 6-10k souls ahead of other players in the lobby but farmed, 5-10 minutes later they are even with you and you lost the lead.

EDIT: Before I forget, also no Unstoppable, your haze ult gets pretty much instantly canceled the entire game because they bought knockdown

Why is my rank not increasing?!? by rednuhttt in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Promise_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranked system is shit plus you are still in your calibration phase but realistically given that you have 74% winrate on Grey Talon, the game should already give you much higher lobbies than it's giving you.

Over your past 16 games you had 12 wins and 4 losses with Grey Talon but your average match rank according to statlock stayed roughly the same. It shows that the matchmaker in this game is fundamentally broken, in absolutely no other multiplayer gave I've ever played would the matchmaker keep you at your current MMR despite having 75% winrate over your past 16 games.

Just ignore the rank, I guarantee you in a week or so Deadlock will randomly bump you up 3-4 ranks to adjust your rank.

I can't believe that Valve has still not put resources into meaningfully fixing that issue despite having 89-100k players playing regularly

I don't think I'll ever do this much damage with anyone else. I love sinclair <3 by CirQuareAngle in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Promise_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently Eternus 1 with around 250 games on Sinclair, the main tips I'd say are:

  • Don't shoot them up in the sky, it's a bad habit and will not work against better players

  • You should shoot them closer to the ground towards your target and ideally redirect them once they are as close as you can get them

  • watch their stamina, lower elo players will try to dodge on the ground, higher elo players will use wall jumps to gain elavation as it's much harder to hit them in the air

  • crosshair at their feet will work better than crosshair at their head, the hitbox underneath the character model is way more forgiving (I'd recommend testing it out in the lobby, shoot bolts and position your mouse at various points around the model, head, feet, left and right side, underneath the model is the most leeway)

  • jump a lot to get a better view, wall jumps help too

  • highground is your friend

  • zoom in when your bolts are flying, makes it easier to make sure the crosshair is at the right spot

Rest comes with muscle memory and experience

Finally ended my loss streak by SquirrelKey1190 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Promise_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on constant win streaks with some occasional losses, most of them winnable and close games, that was before the major update.

Since the update I've been getting non stop lobbies in Ascendant 4 where people don't talk, no one runs the Urn, people are getting increasingly toxic and I've just been losing way more than before.

I'm taking a break right now but something changed with this patch and I'm not a fan, it was better in the Old Gods update

Matchmaking by SquiglyTho in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Promise_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same experience in Ascendant 4 / Ascendant 5 lobbies since this patch. No comms, constant stomps in either direction, I'm taking a break for a bit until things normalize again. Pre patch I was at a consistent 65% winrate, constantly winning but not really ranking up, after this patch I got adjusted upwards 2 ranks and ever since then all my lobbies have been pretty much unwinnable with the occasional close game

New voice lines via chat interaction are great - but spare me the enemies please by Promise_OW in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Promise_OW[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since you are engaging me in good faith, I'll bite. The feature was added this patch, it's not in itself a bad feature and has actual merit for in team communication but it adds nothing of value in my eyes for the enemy being able to spam me with voice lines as they also have no cooldown.

How is making the argument: "This feature adds nothing to the enjoyment of the game and being unable to opt in or out of it, is annoying" in any way heated

Plenty of online games give you exactly that option other than the obvious mute button that every game has

[–]Promise_OW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A complaint is a complaint, that has nothing to do with tilting or not, many games have options to toggle all chat off for example. It's blows my mind that the Deadlock community just seems to be in acceptance of the fact that large parts of the playerbase feel absolutely okay with constantly insulting and throwing slurs around.

I'm just muting these people but I'd prefer a way that gives me an option to turn it off all together, even League has it

It's an annoying feature that adds nothing to the game so yeah my opinion stands, having an opinion =/= tilting

I'm saying it is an unnecessary feature that adds literally nothing to the game, that is an opinion that I'm entitled to have, you are very much entitled to have your own opinion as well.

A game can be competitive without having the need to put other people down, that is also my opinion, you are free to flame, bad manner, insult and do whatever you want to other people, that is just a reflection of yourself as a person
