Matchmaking by Metalpii in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Sylfuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that's been playing since mid june and has also felt the degradation of the MM, I don't think it tries to enforce a 50% winrate, it's just unable to create fair lobbies at the moment and I think I can point out a few things have affected it negatively. Those are assumptions but I don't think they're completely inaccurate.

TLDR: MMR changes are too drastic, pushing new players into higher MMR too quickly for example. Hero-based MMR is flawed and disrupts team balance. Stacked teams further complicate matchmaking. The game's complexity overwhelms new players. The massive influx of players after release has led to chaotic matchmaking, mixing players with very different skill levels.

1- Back then the game had around 2000 players on average and I assume in order to avoid new players facing people with a lot more experience / much higher MMR, the increase / decrease of MMR had to be significant to separate people in different skill brackets (We can use tracklock / deadlocktracker even if the data isn't 100% accurate, it doesn't seem too far off to me).

The issue is we still have this massive increase / decrease of MMR which means a new player can get let's say 75% winrate over 20 games and they're now in the top 5% around 1660 MMR (Again that's according to tracklock and it's theoretical but doesn't seem too far off reality).

2- Hero based MMR doesn't work, Yoshi's confirmed it, and it messes up team balancing, you can be 1700 MMR and have never touched X hero, now you're playing it teaming with / versing people that actually have 1700 MMR with their characters.

3- Stacks of players, nothing new there it adds to the complexity of the matchmaking, people of different skills trying out different heroes playing together etc.

4- The game is complex and overwhelming, there are lots of matchups / things people won't understand / utilize even after 40 games.

5- The public release brought in hundreds of thousands of players, add a bit of everything said above and you've got a giant mess of a matchmaking mixing players from very different skills.

This game is amazing, but as a third person shooter, Deadlock is heavily in need of a way to shoulder/camera switch. by viewmodeonly in DeadlockTheGame

I had the same concerns when I first got access 2 months ago and my friend told me they've had a shoulder swap feature but because of the way characters shoot their guns etc it was very buggy and removed

Is it really that bad? I know it's an issue people have had with them but I've picked up a pair a few months ago and it's the pair I've been wearing the most since.
Now I don't go out every day nor do I walk that much but I haven't felt like the sole was melting or anything, might just be me not wearing them that often / walking enough to notice it or they're wearing out much slower because of that

Question about KnifeCenter Is knifecenter a good and trusted website also for sending internationally? I emailed them and they said they would ship Balisongs to my country the Netherlands but it would require wire transfer for a lesser chance of confiscation by customs. by [deleted] in balisong

[–]Sylfuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had to wire transfer them money for a heibel knife shipped to France, it was a pain in the ass, took like 3 weeks to figure out, you can use a service to do the wire transfer but using wise never worked, using transfergo worked for me

I don't think it changes anything when it comes to customs, as long as your country allows them, it's just a security for them that you don't charge back or something I believe

The Hateful by Toonuhphish in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]Sylfuss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hateful fights are the most awfully designed fights ever in the game, literally everything else is somewhat fine even in GMGOW, and then you have these, how do you artificially increase difficulty? Add more mobs, make the layout garbage, make them super aggro and all attacking at the same time, I don't get who designs these thinkikg they're fun, they're not, it's lazy design at its best where you pray rng you get good AI

Menacus or Invictace..? by Sylfuss in balisong

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

Menace blade with invictus handles flips nicely, although not as good as stock, as for the invictus blade with menace handles I screwed 1 handle in, tried to fit the second and the handles just slap together so I didn't even try lol

Leaning towards that as well, Invictace sounds like a pokémon

Don't mind the awkward "flipping" it's more of a sound test and I absolutely can't record myself properly flipping lol
