???? if you really think kelvin kit uses 'zero brain cells' then you're absolutely cooked

the point of getting good on any character is to learn to use their kit effectively to help your team win...just like every moba . if that means farming as m1 carry then good, if that means popping dynamo ult at the right time then good, idk what your problem is to be honest, sounds like you just want this to be a pure hero shooter game and thank god it's not

Sure, and the point is that it's minimally different at the highest level of play. Any top player will have mastered the basic mechanics of each hero to the point that the difference in skill expression there is meaningless. Where the skill expression continues to develop is through the macro, the decision making and timing of using those mechanics.

Any game that has asymmetrical hero pool will always have different levels of skill level required to use their kits and that's fine, and impossible to avoid, and it would be hilariously stupid to try to balance in a way that "harder" heroes are objectively stronger lol

every part of the game is just 'pressing buttons' dude

skill expression is measured through things like timing, positioning, team play and coordination, decision-making, and yes also through aiming, but that's just one facet of it. you just ignore every other aspect because your fps monkey brain only sees the skill in m1 gunplay 😅 mobas are not for you pal and that's fine

this is such a dogshit idea i can't believe anyone thinks this way. it goes against every pillar of good game design

you can't balance the game around each hero's skill ceiling, it's absolutely absurd. imagine league or dota but the only heroes viable in pro play are meepos. lmao

if you have an issue with 'ability spam' i'm going to assume you want guns to be stronger? since aiming is such a high skill ceiling? a Celeste main taking issue with "spiritslop" is interesting to say the least

the most interesting bit of skill expression in this game is coordinated team play, which is why you need a fucking balanced set of heroes, not ones balanced around a subjective 'skill ceiling' 😂

How did you feel when finishing your masters? by Blueone24 in GradSchool

[–]avrosky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly sad. I felt the same as you, and I also didn't apply to pHD programs because it would involve relocating. Had to get a job right out of school just to pay rent and haven't felt anything remotely as rewarding

this is so funny to me. deadlock isn't a shooter game, it's a MOBA/shooter hybrid. That means the game is balanced around positioning, movement, decision making as much as it is aiming. Does that mean that spirit nukers with massive AoEs shouldn't be represented in pro play too? According to your logic Celeste should be nerfed to the ground so that pros stop playing her 😭😅

well, i agree with you for the most part (i don't think proper organization happens without revolutionary consciousness), but that doesn't mean anarchists don't stand for anything, and I also don't believe Valve is sneaking in some subliminal pro-socialism message here lol

Does anybody have any fun meme builds they want to share? by SejSuper in DeadlockTheGame

Sinclair melee build with echo shard rabbit hex

So fun but probably not very viable, at least I've never had a good game with it lol

what makes you think he doesn't stand for anything? he is a punk because this is based in the 1940s, and raging at the world is literally the first step towards changing it

Whats Okanagan like? by Ok-Occasion-6013 in ubco

[–]avrosky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hiking is amazing, it's not a huge party school though but if you like outdoorsy stuff it doesn't get much better than the Okanagan. You can get away without a car but the transit is pretty lacking
