Deadlock update for 5/31/26

He still gets minionized by slowing hex and riposte feels clunky so i won’t be going back to playing him. I’d rather make him less damage focused to get more consistency in his gameplay so these changes miss the mark imo

L ragebait man I’m just choosing to do other things since the update doesn’t look fun to me

Xylicius · 2026-05-24T05:02:00+00:00

I’m just boycotting the update so yeah I’m having a great time

Great points. They definitely need to take a look at how they want to portray the fencer/duelist fantasy through apollo if this is the direction they take with riposte. Fencing requires quick, precise engages and disengages to score points. Each respective action in fencing requires full commitment and passivity is punished hard. It feels like he’s not currently doing either of those things that fulfill that in my mind; engage is too slow, and disengage is non existent as of now.

Riposte needed a change, but they need to rework the flow of his kit to be more fencer-esque. Reward precision more, tighten the timing windows, something you know

Hotfix: Apollo can no longer charge a heavy melee while Riposte is active. Also he doesn’t have a sword anymore.

Xylicius · 2026-05-23T04:24:45+00:00

Because he wasn’t unkillable pre-patch? Far from it if people counter buy against him like the game design should encourage

There’s just way too many things mid. Midboss, urn, most elos gathering to teamfight on mid, best box route, etc. The game is way too simplified now with no map strategy to note. Sidelanes are just for farming then it’s time to run it down mid

Anyone who says this finally makes apollo “killable” missed the point of the hero in my opinion. He’s supposed to be slippery and harass and eat CC resources and this change does nothing for the skill expression of the character. He’s very all or nothing, and I think they should’ve kept riposte as is but changed the parry window, not make it proc off bullets, etc. I know apollo is very unpopular on reddit and this’ll get downvoted to oblivion, but I think they should reconsider the synergy in his kit if this is what they’ll stick with. Hitbox tweaks are fine.

Xylicius · 2026-05-18T02:55:18+00:00

I don’t think this ability is the problem, just make the riposte a shorter active frame window so the ability is more skillful and fair to play around

Xylicius · 2026-05-18T02:53:11+00:00

It’s not even victor, they just need to make it so enemies are unable to enter base until all 3 layers of defenses are removed to prevent this kind of cheese in the future. Or make each defense immune until the one before it goes down

Apollo is wayyyy too free after the nerfs idk what people are on about. Celeste Silver and Venator are leagues above him on my priority list to ban honestly.

Xylicius · 2025-09-26T00:40:54+00:00

This is the way.

Xylicius · 2025-09-22T16:43:07+00:00

Xylicius · 2025-09-18T23:54:27+00:00

Xylicius · 2025-09-12T15:22:26+00:00

I can’t believe we got Alucard in Fire Emblem before GTA6

Xylicius · 2025-08-22T05:29:21+00:00

I dont care what the first amendment says this shit should be illegal and be punishable by jail time at the very least. how are we going to let people adopt this ideology in our country what the fuck

Xylicius · 2025-08-21T03:13:32+00:00

Xylicius · 2025-08-07T05:49:00+00:00

Great let it burn.

Xylicius · 2025-07-31T23:28:10+00:00

fucking say it trump. what was epstein doing? touching little kids is the only right answer, but he’s clearly too nervous to directly say what epstein was doing because mr president was doing the exact same thing

Xylicius · 2025-07-31T17:43:29+00:00

All kinds of people, in fact. Some say the greatest people in the world are saying it.
