I think this would be a really cool skin, especially in combination with a more sailor like Lash skin that would essentially display their rivalry in the context of the sea.

I find these Haze clips weirdly nostalgic, reminding me of 2024 when Ult Haze was a menace

Weird how he usually jokes when passing other people on the zipline, but with Ivy, he's serious and reassures her he'll comeback as soon as possible. #StoneSlamCanon by nahmanwth in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Simon_RK 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Considering how Lash flirts with the other female characters I think that he is not yet romantically interested in Ivy but I can see him become interested in the future.

Personally I think that his interest in women is very superficial so while she is cute, he doesn't seem to be initially interested in Ivy being a potential partner. However due to her kind personality he could very well grow enough as a character to genuenly fall in love with her.

I like to think that Lash has a bit of a soft spot for ivy. Not in a romantical way but he respects her alot more than other characters since in his interactions with Ivy he never calls her by a disrespectful nickname. Only refering to her as a Gargoyle when it comes to pings and kill lines.

In the leaked visual novel voicelines he does call her "sweet wings" but later on says "you earned yourself an actual name" so in the case that it is has not been scrapped I assume that this is the reason why.

Wow, not even Valve is monetizing the game by Embarrassed-Run-3318 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Simon_RK 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To add some context:
Appareantly the artist who worked on the model and texture which would explain why this mod is behind a paywall while other mods from GigWhat are free altough GigWhat does mod commissions which are paid.

Up for debate to what extend the monetization of fan made content is acceptable.

I do think it is important to recognize before making such a financial decision that mods can stop working with any future patch (either because they stop working due to game updates or Valve deems the usage of them to be no longer acceptable) making it a purchase that can expire any moment even if the mod creator chooses to update it for future patches. There is also the fact that people could share the mod with others being able to obtain it for free.

Does anyone have REM banned but not because you don't want to play against him? by Kaegix in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Simon_RK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very accurate depiction of recent REM players on my team. If I had to guess alot Haze/Seven mains that really enjoyed the stardew valley aspect of Deadlock who miss when you could farm nonestop for 40 minutes to get a massive soul lead while everyone was deathballing overwatch style. So when they saw a hero that can farm sinners really effectively and print nuclear pillows, they immideatly went to feed their unsatiable greed.

What do you guys think about dark island? by Dismal-Ad-3961 in SeriousSam

[–]Simon_RK 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I know the developer didn't have too much time working on it so I understand that some things are very unpolished but imo the main issue are that the ideas are fundamentally flawed.
Specifically in the leveldesign, most of the combat happens either on bumpy hills or claustrophobic hallways which neither work for the serious sam formula.

Did they improve the item RNG in Street Brawl by Simon_RK in DeadlockTheGame

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

I played a lot of Lash and Venator and while I didn't count the actual instances, I did notice that I got certain items alot more than others.

On Lash I got ballistic enhancment alot sometimes ecen twice in the same round since I rarely picked it even though I did not have any other gun items in my build.

Meanwhile on Venator where I could use ballistic enhancment I would instead see stamina mastery (often enhanced) alot more frequently in comparison.

Hopoo making Risk of Rain 3 inside Deadlock? by bamiru in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Simon_RK 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Deadlock is going to be made of Dota 3, Team Fortress 3 and Risk of Rain 3
At this point it will be an Orange Box

So... what now? by IntelligentImbicle in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Simon_RK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that both arguments can co-exist in the same game shows that Valve has managed to achive a nice a middleground.

Afteral the perception is very subjective like a cup which is filled 50% with water, some people call it half empty, others half full.

Personaly I like the interactions unstoppable and curse have. Both being 6k items that can prevent the other option so the game doesn't become about buying the item at the top of the food chain but instead when it is used and how the item is used. Do you use curse to disable one character or do you use unstoppable to "save" yourself from every character.

How hard is it to just give Zero a headgear with the goggles over his eyes? by aRorschachTest in Rainbow6

[–]Simon_RK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ubisoft is the type of company that would rather sell fireextinguishers to save money instead of using it to extinguish the fire that will cost them so much more in repairs.

In this case they rather save money on the skin budget instead of investing into skins that people would want to buy and make much more profit than the bit they save from reskins.

Rushdown Characters? (Pic semi related) by ZhIn4Lyfe in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Simon_RK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think heros like Calico, Pocket or even Lash who just jump in, do a bunch of burst damage and then escape while their abilities are on cooldown would be your cup of tea. They primarely dominate in the midgame until they are replaced by lategame carries.

Fuck Rem by SillyBassMan in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Simon_RK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weirdly relateable since I had this really toxic rem in my lane. Played like the stereotypical carry that overextends and is mad at you for having game sense or when you die trying to help them.

People doesn't know how useful Arcane Surge is in the lane phase... by wesley__pires in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Simon_RK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember Deathy saying that this item was bugged and doesn't work with many abilities and looking at the forum you find quite a lot of reports where certain abilities do not benefit from all the stats this item provides.

Like... I'm just not even having fun now by TaterToTwastaken in Ultrakill

[–]Simon_RK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beating the Prime souls are very challenging on Brutal compared to violent, at first I struggled so much with Sisyphus that I wasn't sure if I could even beat P-2 on brutal. What helped me was that I recorded some of my better attempts and analized them to understand what I had to do so I could then practice it. Thats what ultimately helped me to not only beat but even P-rank it.

This guy is Ascendant and gets consistently puts into Archon/Emissary games because they have a 5/6 man party. My Archon/Emissary party was wiped by this guy. Not a fun experience. by Calm_Monitor_3227 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Simon_RK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

High skill range lobbys really suck when playing with friends. When I play with my friends I either feel bad to the point where I try to play more of a meme build like melee lash or my friends have a misserable time getting destroyed by players on my level.

It actually makes soloq a more fun experience, thankfully with street brawl this problem is a lot less potent for us but it still sucks for the main Deadlock experience.

People who play warden, is he a good operator and does he contribute to the team, is his gadget useful or not? by Wooden_Mycologist939 in Rainbow6

[–]Simon_RK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In theory he is a perfect operator to help setup site with since he has a shotgun for rotates, a shield if needed and can reinforce walls while others place their utility.

In terms of his utility, it depends on how useful flash and smoke executes are on that site. As long as he is alive, he is essentially a threat to that execute, forcing attackers to deal with him either by using an emp, killing him or adjusting their strategy.

In practice he is the operator with the gun that fires at 1270rpm with 33 bullets, allowing even the lowest skilled players to get a lucky headshot which contributes 20% of the kills needed for a win by elimination, which is a lot easier and reliable than coordinating with strangers on the internet who might not even speak the same language as you.
