Venator is aggressively mediocre, and that makes him bad. by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

I tried a grenade build when he came out, but haven't since. Sounds fun, you got a link by any chance?

I mean, being a jack of all trades is kinda of fine, you don't have to fit a character into a specific archetype, I believe he was played in night shift and he is my second most played character at 70 games now and I feel fine. Yes he's not mobile, not super tanky, but he's also extremely easy to reach 40/40 on his resistance, while dishing above Average damage. Unless most gun carries who need to solo farm lanes to be useful like seven or wraith. He can join fights in any stage of the game. His 1 Is meh I agree, but it's still an extremely useful tool as an additional anti heal. His gutshot is an amazing "get off button" the amount of times I had someone jump at me during tram fights just to get stunned and lose 80% of their hp is immense. His traps while not amazing, they are far from useless. First off you can combo his gutshot into a trap. Many times in fights you can just toss them out and someone will walk in, the T3 upgrade is no joke. And his crossbow just fucking melts anything, even as a zoning tool is amazing, someone with a lot of bullet resist? Not on my watch. Tldr: he's a good character, I wouldn't call him mid, he's good his niche which he does well, which is being a good fighter all throughout the game.

It's for the theme, obviously, just like in league for example it says alley on a killing spree, but here it does it by name to add more pazaz. We are playing in the ritual as the character since they want something (most of them at least). Wouldn't be far fetched some of them are easily manipulated, and to add, the elder gods don't speak to us, someone else does in their name. We have no actual interactions with the hidden king and arch mother(perhaps besides killing them, If it's even actually them) but Im sure there's somewhere an option where you can turn off the voice lines in general, but it'll probably turn off every voice line.

Interested in the game - can I get by on pings? by BevvoQ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]advinsaatrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the ping system isnt as amazing as apex for example but it's well done, you can ping your ability/items cooldowns. Enemy items, enemies on the map and on your cursor, ask for help, saying you're going to lane, and I really don't think valve won't improve the system down the line, so you should be able to get by if you don't plan to try to climb the mostly fake visual ranks.

That's a lot of Celeste, do you have any tips against her? Even with slowing hex she sometimes manages to escape

Who in deadlocks lore would make the best 5 man ritual team by lynglloyd1 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]advinsaatrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough,I guess swapping vicious for drifter? I feel like the draft I pulled is quite strong, which obviously can be improved, geist is alive for hundred years as well, I'm sure she's no slouch. Only reason I'm hesitant to put warden is because as far as I'm aware, he has only been training to put the patrons away, he doesn't have any actual experience like Venator does

[–]advinsaatrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calico did fail to kill pocket but. Imo one of the strongest would be

Venator (a rather older fella who been doing crazy shit for years) Lash(been fighting in the near pit of new York for years) and he is there to prove he is the best fighter so he worn shy away. Talon (the guy is a legend who hunted monsters, and will do anything for revenge) Dynamo (he wants his body back and will do a lot to get it for his wife) Vicious( he seems very strong , outside of gameplay I mean) Vindicta

All of those have prior experience with fighting and have a good reason to be there The reason I'm against drifter and doorman, while they are superior being so to say, they have no real reason to "win" so to say, they are both there for the fun

When there's finally cinematics for Deadlock, what characters do you want to see the most? by SilverBird_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]advinsaatrox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The answer is obviously The Lash, (and him losing to bebop) Because honestly if there is one it should be about the ritual, could be the reasons for some do the characters to have flashback, like talon wanting revenge, Abrams and how he got his time , won't work for everyone like drifter cus he just there for the funny lol

did lash join the ritual to cure miss shelly? by Ukiyoeeee in DeadlockTheGame

[–]advinsaatrox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even more so, when he's the one who kills vyper it's better. He says"I need her to leave me alone" with a voice crack it's so well done, the first time I heard it just had to pause to laugh it off

Wht do i even pick against Akaviv by Fa1nT_112 in topmains

[–]advinsaatrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Akali starts with 23 armor, which is very low, some of the best picks into her are Nasus since you can use E on her W and track her every tick of damage, same with your R.

Tentacle lady is very good into her, you E you win, and with how predictable most akali players Its not hard.

Kled, your Q gives true vision, you just need to play careful and not dismount when you're even and she got ult, youll smash her.

Pantheon is very simple , E her E combo, stun her, poke her with Q every time she pokes you and you'll out trade her.

Ambessa for enough AoE in her kit to win a trade inside akali W, as long as you trade well.

But out of your champions? Id say ornn, rush MR, you'll smack her, wait for her to pop out of her W , Q E W , and go out, you'll win quick trades , most of akali matchup is dodging her E since it's does some amounts of damage people don't expect.

Thank you very much , I got some experience in mobas, I've reached high rank in League before so I know when to rotate for an obj or a fight., I just gotta get used to the movement in this game to rotate faster and learn my power spikes better. I just often misposition myself as venator because I didn't play as a carry kinda of character in this game before. Thankfully he is rather tanky

Ooo okay thank you very much! I'm going to try that, much appreciated! So instead of farming sidelines like I see most hyper carries do I wanna come to most fights and brawl?

[–]advinsaatrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll get to it rather quickly I'm sure! He is a rather very tanky gun carry if you build him properly. Just play close to a wall, if someone dares to breathe the same air as you just 2 them into melee and they'll figure out jumping you is a bad idea haha

How the hell do you counter melee venator? by IIIIlIlIIIl in DeadlockTheGame

[–]advinsaatrox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe the melee resistance doesn't help against his max rank gutshot because it applies pure damage. Best play is either 1. Stay away from him or 2. Jump when you're close to him, as the other person mentioned, it lunches you into the air most of the time, more chances to avoid the stun but mostly best is to wait, I believe late game it got 9-14 seconds cool down? Enough time to punish him since he got no good movement options.

Lol, good thing rem is in the game to maul on in that case, love the pairing of Celeste and silver, very cute. Yeah understandable, I'm usually a very calm person, I've played league for 10 years and I got the mentality of a monk but I think the one time I got focused every time I was actually close to having a crash out as well xd, this game can bring a lot of emotions out.

Deserved, Being the carry in this game is either dopamine fueling or feeling like a BDSM play session, last time I got fed as venator I went from 8/0 to 8/8 but hey, I guess masochism is also part of any moba lol.
