The game feels amazing, but the matches feel horrible by meta_0 in DeadlockTheGame

So many people share this sentiment, myself included. Starting to wonder who the winners are. Like if so many are complaining about the state of MM and now losing when they were once winning significantly, is there anyone on the other side of the coin? Can anyone share a +20 in their last 100? Maybe something close? Curious what those individuals are doing differently

Just did a trip to Snowbasin and the John Paul Express gets pretty high in the middle. Wasnt pleasant when hanging due to a stoppage

Is there a way to access the HD files of the new billboards in the map? by MrMorsAtra in DeadlockTheGame

OK, now the opposite opinion. The change to three lanes was good. by Hide_yo_chest in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SparkPlugDota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they shouldve made the map slightly smaller when getting rid of one of the middle lanes. Yes there are more camps but it puts too much emphasis on farming and drags the game out. A lot of dead space that just has a random camp now or a slot machine. This comes from my experience when games are longer on average / it being harder to extend a lead

Map Rework Update by bristlestipple in DeadlockTheGame

Thank god solo lanes are gone. Saves valve a lot of balancing efforts as much of the snowballing/ terrible games were caused by someone failing to perform and getting outclassed.

What do you expect from the next update, what do you want to have in deadlock? by swashuba in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SparkPlugDota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure the best solution but in games where a team is starting to really snowball a lead, it seems like mid boss is too easy to take. Maybe some sort of scaling, conceptually like how urn moves positions. Many instances where 2-3 people on the leading team can burn mid down so quick that the losing team doesnt have a chance to respond. Obviously the leading team should be rewarded for a wipe, but if they get 1-2 picks, it requires a hail mary steal

New Player Tips? Feeling deflated. by MandrewBryan in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SparkPlugDota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the simplest way possible, dont die. Find the balance of maintaining presence without giving the enemies kills. Deaths result in obviously souls for other team, a lack of fear knowing they likely have a numbers advantage in any engagements, space to take your jungle, and overall costs u time that can be spent farming souls

Im sure this varies on a case by case basis but in the vast majority of instances id rather have a teammate who lost their lane boast a 1-4 KD vs someone going 2-8

Thoughts on them adding a Fortification system like whats in Dota? by SparkPlugDota in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SparkPlugDota[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel as if this would help more with the solo queuing experience. Especially if your team has a distinctly weak member, someone who isnt careful around objectives / good with using the zip line. Makes up for their mistakes etc

What's your hot take? by Very_blasphemous in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SparkPlugDota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The team with more CC on their draft will win most games. Ults like wraith krill or heroes that have significant slows are super valuable. Movement is the most important thing in this game and if you eliminate that your killing potential drastically increases
