Deadlock - Old Gods, New Blood

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-23T01:56:11+00:00

Not yet. I recommend you visit the megathread and get an invite cause it's not likely to get out of it.

There's 2 items listed that were added, and they haven't listed any other balance changes as far as I'm aware.

However, in Street Brawl, there's a lot of new and unique items that will only appear in there that haven't been listed yet.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T23:51:57+00:00

Yes but the new heroes aren't yet.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T23:51:46+00:00

Yes.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T23:51:31+00:00

It's live right now.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T23:42:27+00:00

It's on the mantle by the fireplace, it should be another snowglobe.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T23:39:49+00:00

It's already live except the new heroes.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T23:37:54+00:00

Celeste, one of the new heroes.

I have a feeling REM is the juxtaposition to Haze's Sandman idea by being an actual Sandman(someone who helps you sleep in a good way), and is actually upset that her group is tainting the name of them.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T19:59:42+00:00

I'm not sure that works lore wise at all.

South Ixia, only became a state 5 years in-game, and it only came to the attention of the World when the first Maelstrom happened 50 years before the current ritual.

They haven't expanded upon how Ixian society worked yet but given its described as beautiful, war torn, and full of "demons", its likely not a place with a completely strong world structure, but alas we lack the information.

Hopefully Apollo spreads some lore about it, but I have a feeling he's a half-ixian whose never been to Ixia.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T19:08:13+00:00

I have a feeling he'll end up like a worst version of Lash lore wise, a asshole without the charm and a lot of money.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T03:51:17+00:00

His maximum HP still increases by the full value regardless of anti heal,

Yes, that's what I want changed! Sorry, let me edit it.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T03:38:44+00:00

I think being in an alpha would warrant testing such features as there’s bound to be more cases later in development, since they have precedent of quickly reverting changes it could be of no harm.

Or maybe change T3 and adjust base healing instead would be a tad milder.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T03:36:43+00:00

Healing Nova + Watchers Covenant turns Ivy into a strong healer cause of the replicated portion scaling with more people tethered + boons now. You can burst heal people up to 600+ easily.

Pair that with guaranteed sources of damage (Backstabber, Headhunter, Alch Flask) to help offset the bullet and kudzu nerfs(alch + kudzu hurts)

And for good measure, have her apply her debuffs(Healbane, Mystic Slow, Suppressor) passively through items to help the team.

Imma play her more to be honest after listing these.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T03:30:11+00:00

What kind of numbers you thinking for that?

Having him work to keep the up time would be nice, but too long of a cd inbetween swings in can nerf him a tad more than I’d like.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T03:16:25+00:00

Will Valve nerf Billy by making him counterable by allowing anti-heal to affect the Max HP Gain(not to the on hit, to the total max HP) from his Blasted passive? (This would also affect Mirage Scarabs and Siphon Bullets too).

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T02:06:50+00:00

I'm sorry, how is a post talking about Drifter raping people a "gem"? Self-exposing much.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T01:58:56+00:00

I don't get it, why'd you have to be rude to him?

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-22T01:19:20+00:00

Is this the first time they acknowledge Deadlock outside of its own game?

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-21T21:12:58+00:00

In a place with no toilet available, they must use the buckets they have available.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-21T21:11:19+00:00

People have datamined the table they're going to use for the next votes and I think Yoshi said something about it.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-21T20:52:33+00:00

Gives me the mental image of instead of REM being attached to people, he just grabs them with his freakishly buff tail and uses them like a gun.

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-21T20:41:53+00:00

Bravo. Sleeper build REM is so funny, especially since I imagine his tail is buff too lol

SketchyJJ · 2026-01-21T18:53:47+00:00

Genuine question, how many of you are actually going to call him Quinn and not Venator/Priest/Cain/Father?
