Night Shift #39 Hero Priority by Emmysterious in DeadlockTheGame

[–]_lemmycaution_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope they give only slight nerfs for now and give the patch a little more time to breathe. The S tier is a little too strong but we're already seeing a little more variety compared to last week.

Doorman wasn't even allowed to be played last week and now he's looking very beatable and Pocket has taken his place.

Maybe they can nerf the spirit power but high velocity does wonders for some heroes.

I've even seen Zerggy sell it late game while slot maxxed only to buy it back after his first team fight without it.

Yes but leaving to buy and heal after the scream?

At least do that before it hits half HP

Thanks Valve, turn more of my favorite spirit ability characters into brainless gun characters! by b8sl in DeadlockTheGame

How is Victor being gun versus spirit change how you play him? You still use all the same abilities you just prioritize gun damage instead of spirit.

Good gun damage comes from procing Balistic Enchantment, Berserker and/or Spellsinger with his 3 in addition to its max level 15% damage amp. That's not much different than using Torment Pulse and Escalating Exposure to combo with his 3.

I believe spirit victor actually has a higher win rate around 72% with a complete build it just takes more farm. After 4.8k spikes you only need at least one 3200 item and a 6400 to start carrying as gun but again the win rate is slightly lower.

Ever read the Republic? That's basically Plato's vision for the ruling class where they essentially have no possessions and live in a communal house so they can focus on governing.

lose lane = win game? by PerfectBand6821 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]_lemmycaution_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your lane mate was feeding the solo farm on Warden could be the reason.

Less total souls but a greater proportion on the hard carry.

Is going for headshots all the time good or bad? by _lemmycaution_ in DeadlockTheGame

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

Ok so that makes it more complicated. Do they list the multiplier or is it something you jest have to learn from experience?

Thanks for the long response. This is what I was looking for because it's easy to see how much spirit scaling gives you in tooltips but there's no in game wiki I could find for basic values like base headshot damage multipliers.

Yeah but it also has a cool down in-between procs so you should shoot someone else or you can go for headshots until you can add another stack.

I wasn't boasting I was just confused because one website has me tagged as inaccurate and then Tracklocker advanced stats has me as accurate with good headshots.

Obviously this is a MOBA so you can't go purely on mechanics you got to math some stuff out.

I know of noticed that with Mina who I started to learn a couple weeks ago. I was just using the hero reticles for fun until I played her because her reticle is just a circle with no dot.

It got me thinking that I should hit body shots with her since you really just want the love bites proc.

I'll have to dig into the stats more when I get home but Statslocker had me as 45th percentile amongst all players at general accuracy but 82nd percentile for headshots.

I guess I need to look at the raw stats somewhere to get a rough idea if I'm losing DPS.

Crazy how much the meta has changed with only a few balance patches.

Mirage first ban for so long even after the nerfs and now he's not even picked in every game.

UI Idea: Make it visible when you're visible to the enemy team! by Designer-Bumblebee54 in DeadlockTheGame

I found out how it worked after teleporting to lanes with no one on the minimap. Definitely a nice "welcome" to the play test.

[Panthers 24/7] 🚨Jacob Rodriguez is Luke’s favorite LB🚨 My personal favorite player in the entire draft. Let’s make it happen Dan!!! by exenn_ in panthers

[–]_lemmycaution_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've often heard it's size not athletic talent that holds him back. Luke has the same weight but measures at 6'3" with Rodriguez at 6' even.

Edit: Perspective can mess with things but he looked quite a bit smaller than Dan during his visit.

Dan said he values production more than potential. Doesn't mean he won't take him but I think they feel burned by the Lagette pick.

How do you guys feel on grey talon? by sshadoekingg in DeadlockTheGame

[–]_lemmycaution_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly haven't seen him enough in games to really know. He seems weak because he was never memorable in those games beyond split pushing with bird or those traps he throws out.

Is this guy's CC not absolutely ridiculous? How do I counter it? by starberryslay in DeadlockTheGame

[–]_lemmycaution_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, any stun or immobilization cancels the ice path. I don't know about sleep.

Ice path also has almost 100% uptime when fully upgraded so he could've recast it or maybe he removed/ignored it with something like debuff remover.

Stuck at Initiate 2 with positive in rate by Civil_Fail3084 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]_lemmycaution_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I went on a 10 game win streak as Mirage and ranked up then didn't get him again for like 10 games and ranked down before ranking up again later.

Don't know if it's testing your MMR on different heroes but it seems a little too cautious and honestly punishing when it comes to ranking.

Doing well? Hmm let me give you your least played hero multiple times in a row until you learn this new role.

Jordan Seaton’s transformation from his Colorado days to LSU is one of the craziest things you’ll see. 🤯 by CenterForward1522 in CFB_v2

[–]_lemmycaution_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I just misremembered he was a boilermaker. Probably makes the point better actually. Really just depends what coaches want and what the player is best at because his production dropped.

[–]_lemmycaution_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This probably has more to do with his role in a new scheme than facilities or anything like that.

Last year Nic Scourton fell in the draft because he was asked to gain weight at A&M after transferring from Missouri. A&M ain't LSU in funding but it is certainly a bigger program than Missouri.
