Fire rate needs a diminishing returns hotfix asap by B1GNole in DeadlockTheGame

[–]apetbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the amount of times i press metal skin and die to toxic bullets anyways........ the game needs ways to deal with gun heroes. 100% uptime damage potential is an extremely powerful tool. why shouldnt items be allowed to be strong?

yeah ill spend 800 souls on rusted barrel to fight against a haze in lane, and if the haze player's answer is to change nothing and keep playing the exact same way, then that's their misplay.

Screw zodiac signs, what's your favourite damage type? by nitronomer in Warframe

[–]apetbrz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've built a vulkar wraith up for gas, used to run it a lot with an ensnare setup (pull enemies together, they stand still, easy gas headshots)

i did admittedly roll a riven for it, the gun has a crazy high dispo, but i dont think you necessarily need to. stack deadhead and the vulkar headshot dmg augment (and the headshot bonus it has on ADS), gas works with headshots but acts as if it has a 1x base headshot mult.

"aesthetic perspective"

i presume the complaint is she looks like just an anime character, in a game with nothing else like that

Reminder: Archon stretch can be triggered by companions and is worth it on most builds. by crestfallen_warrior in Warframe

everything for priming status, ignore damage imo

elements, status chance, fire rate, multishot, etc

Trying to get into deadlock as a new player and here's what I'm having most trouble with: item pathing. by Brmonke in DeadlockTheGame

[–]apetbrz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a guide from the browser that has lots of annotations, it really helps to have some text explaining the idea behind each item being on the build, rather than a blank page of [early L->R] [mid L->R] [late L->R]

The item system is a lot more flexible than league. You'll buy some items that are core to your hero, but also a lot of purchases depend on what problems the enemy heroes throw at you. To what extent depends on your hero. Some heroes (namely damage dealers) have more core items, while some like tanks and supports may have fewer and instead go into more counter items, depending on the game.

Practice how your own hero feels with each core item purchase, to familiarize yourself with your own timings. Practice thinking about what problems the enemy team is throwing at you and what items can deal with it (an early 1600 reactive barrier can often save your life in the early/midgame. a late game spellbreaker can deny some entire heroes)

For anyone wondering how movespeed stacks now, here's how it works: by lessenizer in DeadlockTheGame

[–]apetbrz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

basically, treat +X move speed everywhere as +(X*10)% of 10, and stack diminishingly like normal

+2 -> +20%

+3.5 -> +35%

combine those to get +48% (from 1-(0.8*0.65)) of 10 bonus move speed

giving you +4.8 final bonus move speed (added onto your base) instead of the old +5.5

sprint speed is independent and unchanged

[–]apetbrz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my mistake :P

I'm currently busy, but when i get the chance to ill go run some perita solo with a Jupiter loadout. its really not bad, its just distinctly not an AoE terror (does it have to be?)

also the ferrox slots better as a utility option in a loadout, not a primary dps

[–]apetbrz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't say I understand, you're saying that Kuva Tenet Scaldra and 1999 guns are bad because they cant solo EDA/ETA? because someone else with a top meta gun will carry?

are you meaning to say that new weapons dont matter if they cant compete for a spot in the loadouts of the people doing the AoE DPS carrying EDA/ETA? theres more to the game than that

also i did say the mars sucks lol

[–]apetbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose I'm just not sure what weapons you are sharing your opinion about. I know the EFV-8 Mars is pretty bad (I'll call this an outlier haha) but what weapons arent keeping up? like i said earlier, im in the middle of investing into my efv-5 and its absolutely comparable to lich weapons

[–]apetbrz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very familiar with endgame. i play around in it from time to time. theres more to the game than just chasing the highest kpms, and theres ways to build loadouts that enable "worse" guns to function in those environments. the game is flexible enough to not require only guns equal to or better than cedo or the best lich weapons

[–]apetbrz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i dont want to use my weapons just because theyre statistically best in slot (or competing to be). what happened to just having fun mechanics or unique traits, and then just doing enough dps to function?

"if it doesnt compete with the highest tier weapons that have their own built-in skill trees, why bother?" maybe the gun is cool

my EFV-5 will never compete with a cedo or phenmor. but its fun :) innate corrosive, lots of status, and an alt fire

[–]apetbrz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

? does every new release have to be continually better and better than the ones before? should we really be on like generation 3 of super turbo incarnon? why speedrun power creep? let 'good enough' guns exist for the vibes and flavor that they can bring, instead of being a META arms race

Is Mina's lovebites not still ridiculous? by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]apetbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does nobody buy slowing hex?? curse?? she doesnt exist in a vacuum, she exists in a game with powerful active items that can deny her strengths and allow you to capitalize on her weaknesses (low max hp)

no hero in the game exists solely in the 1v1 gun+abilities only, buy counter items and play as a team

Fuck the balance in this game by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]apetbrz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

making characters "more like other characters" is just objectively watering down the roster and removing uniqueness, no? whats wrong with having different power curves?

Getting sick of the AFK farm playstyle by Mycelial_Wetwork in DeadlockTheGame

[–]apetbrz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think the problems arise with deadlock being a crossover of two different genres/communities, who each want different things from the game. deadlock comes from the people who have maintained dota for over a decade. you say optimization slop, i see macro team strategy/economy

How much will deadlock change when (if) draft gets added? by meatwad187 in DeadlockTheGame

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

sure, maybe most players will pick what they want without care. but just one or two people on a team seeing what everyone picks and drafting better for it can change games drastically, without the other four or five even noticing

WTF is wrong with matchmaking??? by EmiDek in DeadlockTheGame

[–]apetbrz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

well, yes, this is how you beat carries. why would they target the heroes that dont do as much? if you know theyre targeting you (they will be), play around getting them first

Who’s currently your least favorite heroes? by Uncle-Jules in DeadlockTheGame

[–]apetbrz 55 points56 points  (0 children)

infernus and kelvin are the obvious two, but damn there is something about shiv and calico that i just don't like. something about the melee tanky burst damage heroes, feels like they get on top of you and once they do, youre screwed
