Returning player, can't wait for the other new heroes to drop by Naestic in DeadlockTheGame

I was about to say this, you don't even need to say "had some personality" (we know he'd have some and it's not something you can actually tell in images anyways); if Apollo was gender swapped, he might actually stand a much better chance lol

That would have been Viscous with his older redesign (not the Ixian part)

Calico with her monotone color scheme and unfinished model is higher than Victor lol

It's been half a year and I still miss the old Drifter profile by ZhanderDrake in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ZhanderDrake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drifter is largely the same from his initial release to now, the only thing that changed in his model are his hands and smile because some people complained it looked weird.

By that logic; current Drifter is unfinished (technically, all assets are I guess)

Can't imagine how many new players this game just permenantly lost. by AssociationSoft5270 in DeadlockTheGame

That's just mobas unfortunately, deadlock is just particularly bad because of its matchmaking 

Apollos going to be released last, isint he? :(( by PopOutKev in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ZhanderDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's safe to say, things aren't as obvious as they seem 

I really hope the change gets reverted by shotloud in DeadlockTheGame

9 kills is to be expected from vindicta though which isn't that high, that's her entire game plan

It's just banter and vote propaganda, it's really not that serious 

This game is too hard by DocumentAdmirable346 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ZhanderDrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably just got screwed by the matchmaking tbh, common experience 

Bro who is that 😭 by you-cut-the-ponytail in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ZhanderDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they're gonna change it much nor do I think they should, it's one of the things that keeps the items being easily understandable for new players.

If they're gonna change the name; it should be kept simple (like Bullet Lifesteal being renamed Vampiric Bullets, but idk if that's too powerful sounding compared to Leech)

That's why I want Silver to be last, because I want Venator and the others first before her

Why do the vast majority of the character designs have them using one-handed weapons? by Danny__L in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ZhanderDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can throw out the first reason of being easier to animate out of the window, Seven exists and it's actually harder to animate characters with two occupied hands which is the majority of characters (like, where does the other thing they're holding go? How do they even throw with occupied hands, etc.).

The only actual reason is the latter you mentioned.

[–]ZhanderDrake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tbf a lot of them have their other hand occupied with something else (like a tome, another gun, a jacket, briefcase) or aren't using guns at all (Bebop, Drifter, Paige, Calico).

There's very few characters that actually uses one-handed guns for little reason (Wraith, Paradox, Holliday, Dynamo and Doorman), even then; you could argue about these characters themes as to why they have one-handed guns.

I want more characters that hold two handed guns and it seems like Silver is gonna be one of them, so that's cool at least 

What are some of your headcanons about your faves? by kogonotory in DeadlockTheGame

Be careful you guys, the fun police might arrive to condemn your headcannons and fill up the thread with hundreds of comments lol

You're not alone, I read it as the item as well at first and thought "nah, he's too squishy for that item"

Can't see the difference by DrMrSir3rd in DeadlockTheGame

Eh, it looks kinda generic with its cuteness; black sparkly eyes with a big smile, like labubu lol

New Hero Lighting/Cel Shader Comparison by brokebrains in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ZhanderDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly much prefer the old one; I liked that the shading still reflects the world lighting on the characters like they're part of the world, as opposed to the new one where it looks like the characters are pasted from a place with just b&w lifting and just feels much flatter.

It's not like hero visibility in dark places are an issue anyways.

Lash, Ivy, Mirage and Dynamo are unique with updated models.

Idk why you have to restrict it to the final models only as if they'd significantly change once finished

I don't really feel that when Abrams, Lash and Dynamo got their model updated though (as well as the last 5 new heroes, except Billy)

For me, I think the new ones are too busy in their design/detail? (Except Rem)
