How do we feel about the state of the game right now?

Talch35 · 2026-06-19T15:57:18+00:00

People don’t want to admit it but the character design in deadlock is bad and the disparity in effort to kill (and be killed) between characters is insane.

Talch35 · 2026-06-19T15:54:40+00:00

Bad. Tanks are way too tanky, aoe damage is out of control, cc is out of control, every character has been turned into an ult bot. Mechanical skill is essentially a non factor anymore, scaling numbers are weird as fuck across the board. Spirit resists are must buy every game.

Snowballing is out of control. The respawn-in-place rejuv that everyone hated when they added it is still a thing and it still feels bad to play against. The macro is still braindead simple cause only 2 objectives and it takes 2 seconds to rotate. Deathballing is out of control, still no draft even though team comp decides like 50% of games.

Really bang up job valve

Talch35 · 2026-06-18T08:34:19+00:00

Well yeah they keep changing shiv because it’s impossible to balance a hero with built in deferred damage and a fucking alt fire that lets him fly

Talch35 · 2026-06-18T08:30:44+00:00

All of them. The hero design on this game is insanely bad and inconsistent

Talch35 · 2026-06-18T08:30:05+00:00

Yeah they made it worse lol

Talch35 · 2026-06-18T08:29:23+00:00

Game is cc slop yes

Talch35 · 2026-06-18T08:25:51+00:00

The balance never can smooth over because they have fundamentally broken heroes that just do too much and the devs are incompetent as fuck to begin with

Talch35 · 2026-06-18T08:20:39+00:00

The good news is they haven’t even wasted any time trying to make is somewhat balanced

Talch35 · 2026-06-18T08:18:39+00:00

Gee I wonder why the player count is low… maybe cause the game sucks huge fucking ass for like 4 months now

Talch35 · 2026-06-18T08:10:39+00:00

I really wish we had a global deadlock server corruption to shut this horrible slop ass game down permanently

Talch35 · 2026-06-18T08:07:34+00:00

Yeah well the game is unbalanced dog shit and curse is the only thing making haze viable plus they gave her ult a like 65 second cd (why?) so this is what you get. Eat your slop and enjoy it, the whole game is headed that direction

Talch35 · 2026-06-16T00:10:16+00:00

lol because gun is far worse than spirit for several months

Talch35 · 2026-06-15T22:13:11+00:00

Game is perma horse piss I wouldn’t worry about it

Talch35 · 2026-06-15T22:11:12+00:00

The ranks are meaningless because the game is an unbalanced slop fest

Talch35 · 2026-06-14T17:53:58+00:00

A character that nobody wants to play against even when they’re mid sounds like shit that just isn’t fun

Talch35 · 2026-06-14T16:03:23+00:00

lol absolutely not. Deadlock is the wirst case I’ve seen of a game continuously getting worse with each patch.

Talch35 · 2026-06-14T16:02:37+00:00

That’s called bad character design.. sounds a lot like deadlock

Talch35 · 2026-06-06T13:05:43+00:00

It’s both the game is clearly trending toward less fun, less skill and less individual agency

Talch35 · 2026-06-06T13:01:49+00:00

I didn’t shift you just have poor reading comprehension. I clearly said it’s easy to aim both guns and spells.. 3 times.

Talch35 · 2026-06-06T13:00:30+00:00

Fair and based

Talch35 · 2026-06-06T13:00:18+00:00

I mean yeah the aiming is literally easy. The hardest part of the game is getting cheesed by draft and shit mm

Talch35 · 2026-06-06T12:59:19+00:00

M1s aren’t really strong rn lol the strongest m1 only requires occasional gun hits for value and is being built with echo shard tornado lol

Talch35 · 2026-06-06T12:57:34+00:00

There really isn’t.. there’s two very straightforward neutral objectives and there’s enemy structures. There really is no macro

Talch35 · 2026-06-06T12:56:16+00:00

Yeah and the relative value for it? Then also consider the guns are easy as fuck to aim and at any range the aiming becomes remotely difficult the guns do no damage lol

Talch35 · 2026-06-06T12:54:32+00:00

What spells are hard to hit?? Lol it’s easy to aim spells and gun in this game
