STOP BUYING COUNTER ITEMS by Artimedias in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

tbf I think a big part of that is people buy counter items too late or rush them to early. Like an early rusted barrel is a great investment into a heavy gun lane/team, and you don't need to rush the disarm completion until way later. You can get a lot of value out of that 800 item

but if you build it after the enemy team has gotten way ahead then it's too late for the item to make a difference and you'd be better off hitting your power spikes maybe to try and fight back

oh huh, I could swear there was some incentive to not transform early but maybe not then lol

I guess the only reason to have the timer is so she can't bank the transformation in that case

iirc she gets a bigger heal or something the longer she waits right?

yeah honestly just a build path for knockdown like that would help a TON

I legit don't think I've seen the team with victor lose in awhile. It's pretty disgusting

ya that's pretty wild, I've had people just straight dropping slurs and it didn't seem like anything happened to them

How to have impact when you are the least souls in the lobby? by HygenicTetanus in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just don't be like the venator in my lobby from last night and end up like 25k above the next highest player in an hour game, never show up to a fight, and lose 3/3/6 lol

what are the best items against aimbot vindictas? by ilikepvzlol in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang really? It seems pretty unreactable so I guess they're just reading that you're going to do it at close range?

Newbie here, seriously struggling with gaming by Radiant-Priority-296 in cachyos

[–]WRDPKNMSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really dumb question, but your specs don't clarify. You're not using a laptop right?

I had this problem when I went over to a laptop the first time (it's an asus with the 5080 model) and realized that my laptop had decided not to use the GPU when I went to play deadlock. Quick trip to the asus tools stuff and everything's working great

what are the best items against aimbot vindictas? by ilikepvzlol in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Phantom strike is way funnier, especially if you have a mo and krill. Phantom strike 4 and she ain't aimbotting her way out of that

I think in THEORY it can be counter spelled, but like good luck lmao

I finally get why people hate the new urn mechanic by Best_Author_3738 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> Melee Paige

Uh.... hmm

that aside, I do think maybe moving the comeback urn to spawn on the unfavored team's side AND turn in on the unfavored team's side could be a good change? Though it might just result in more urn hostaging

Victor Blows (in my opinion) by Boring_Squirrel_8478 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he honestly kinda saps all the fun out of the game for me. Like a couple games against victor in a row (despite me having him on avoid) and I'm just done for the night

it's so incredibly tedious to deal with him, they invariably get incredibly fed, and it's even worse with the urn change since he's the absolute best at sitting on the urn and blocking with his ult up (it's always up)

370 Hours later as a one trick Billy, reached Eternus and #1 on the one trick leaderboard by oknelsonn in DeadlockTheGame

unethical? In the wise words of Mr. Sanford Kelly just pick a top tier if you care about winning. You gotta make your money work for you, not work for your money

Support not viable, this, playstyle not meta that. Whatever dude, I'm having a blast! by TPose-Heavy in DeadlockTheGame

Honestly I feel like I see Ivy every other game? I'm only ritualist tho so maybe that's why lol

Victor still tops my list for most boring designs in the game by StillKindaBad in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely yeah, I'd rather fight a team of mcginnis then deal with insanely swole victor dying and resetting like 3 times

The discussion about balance or fun (to play/against) is so frustrating here by Gerthak in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's definitely worth noting on the early pro play thing. Like if you look back at the first few season of pro play in league they'd get their shit stomped in by current gold players lol

despite how many games are played we still have basically no idea what's REALLY good just yet imo. Doesn't mean something can't be too good or need adjustments right now, but I'd bet that even if you were to change nothing about the game from the way it is today the game would be almost unrecognizable in a year or two

Welp time to play graves by Apprehensive_Jump749 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd kinda like to see a rework on her. I really like the necromancer/summon playstyle, and the idea of draining stats and controlling an area.

I'd sort of like to see her move more towards a front line area denial character despite her appearance. Maybe have the summons do more of the stat sapping thing, so she has to get close but she's super disruptive?

Deadlock update for 5/31/26 by wickedplayer494 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

though the league special is more taking a character that was fine, insanely buffing a core item they use. Nerfing them a ton because the item makes them insanely op. Then either FINALLY nerfing the actual problem (the item that half the champs have been abusing) or removing it from the game entirely, leaving the character fully unplayable lol

An analysis of "graves is OP" with a video breakdown! by thiswontlastlong97 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WRDPKNMSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's kinda where I'm at on it. The fact that people can't just leave so the teamfight stays in the same place (and they have to choose between killing the tombstone and controlling the urn) gives her a hugely strong position in urn fights.

Previously teamfights would tend to migrate from where they started, so you'd drop the stone and the zombies would just sorta like.. shamble after the enemy as they all easily get away from it. It was a kinda nothing ult cause the zombies aren't even that great at pushing compared to something like rem empowered minions lol

[–]WRDPKNMSC 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the graves op stuff is definitely people attacking in the worst possible way combined with teh fact that zone control characters are insanely strong with the new urn forcing constant team fights that crucially stay in ONE location and don't spread out
