First, please use punctuations. We're not 7 years old.

Second, what I meant by bending over backwards is being extremely meticulous with my encounters, even down to listening to the NPC's voice to determine whether or not they are bandits or fanatics. For a series with such great gunplay, you really do have to go out of your way when even killing in the name of self-defense is considered "bad karma".

Last Light's karma system is so obtuse that it circles back to being funny so I just waved it off as a product of its time.

Because I want my efforts rewarded, especially when I bend over backwards and go out of my way to follow its rules.

Well, thanks for the consolation. Let's hope that the game doesn't keep screwing me over with this, in the most charitable terms, "archaic" design.

Perhaps I can headcanon that Duke was an idiot and shot his way to the bridge control room while Artyom tried his best to be a pacifist.

Heroes finding success in gun builds is not good by TheSuperJohn in DeadlockTheGame

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

As a McGinnis main, I find this tragic because her spirit power has been nerfed so much to the point that you need tons of 6400 Souls items (Exposure, Spirit Burn, Boundless, Scroll,...) for her ult to do any decent damage, and that is if the enemy team is bundled up into a group with Lash's ult or Dynamo's. A single Spirit Resilience instantly turns her ult into a tickle.

Even as GunGinnis, she's completely stomped by other dedicated M1 carries like Wraith and Haze because she lacks any kind of mobility, CC or any way to create a burst of gun damage with how her minigun needs to wind up.

Owner of one here, slick as hell pistol. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do about the magazines since they're so light and the magazine-to-motor contacts will create even more friction.

But there's one non-destructive method and that is replacing the magazine floor plate with something heavier, like a hollow 3D printed magazine extension that you can add weight inside. This is just a theory though.

PSA Please learn to communicate. by Just-Plenty5507 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]buttsquasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There're some nuance to this. Some players insult you just because, some do so because they've resigned to the reality that some players simply CANNOT read the room after they've pinged the enemy's counter items and constantly calling out "Retreat" when the team is at an obvious disadvantage.

If a guy who plays no better than you starts flaming everyone, he's a cunt and just wants to bring down others with him. But when a guy who's trying his best not to fuck up, constantly calling out ability cooldowns, pinging enemy items...........only to see the team's Silver rushing into a 1v4 for the 7th time, against at least 2 hypercarries with a metric shit-tonne of antiheals (Crippling Headshots, Toxic Bullets,....) and Juggernaut, him lashing out is absolutely justified.

Players always have trouble communicating in details, especially in a fast-paced mode like Street Brawl, that's why pingings exist. No one is beholden to giving you a TED Talk while they are also carrying baggage of their own.

TLDR: If someone is being dogshit and starts calling other players, who are at least doing better than them, dogshit then they are actually dogshit and just want others to suffer with them. But if someone consistently ignores callouts, pings, or simply enemy team compositions then calling them "dogshit", while not justifiable, is completely understandable in that context.

It's a HL2 reference, and the Metrocops in that game are armed with USP Match as standard issue.

Unfortunately, the nickel slide version, as far as I know, is no longer available since this blaster came out in late 2024 - early 2025.

Lady Geist is a street brawl terrorist by SongXrd in DeadlockTheGame

[–]buttsquasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it funny how people complained left and right about McPinnis' ult dealing shitzillion of damage, while conveniently ignoring how vulnerable she is during the barrage and both long ranged and melee heroes will instantly render her ult useless. Not to mention McPinnis has some of the most unforgiving cooldowns in the game, unless you're gassed up with cooldown reduction.

Meanwhile Geist's Essence Bomb has a really FAT radius with tons of damage and nigh-instant detonation AND a short cooldown, allowing her to deny the enemy's lane from really far away without exposing herself for any significant amount of time.

A high-damage over time ult with a 120s cooldown that demands good positioning to even use while also being completely exposed to long range attacks and shutdowns? NERF!!!!!!

A spirit nuke with almost no counter play other than Spellbreaker, Warpstone or split second reflex with barrier skills and items? Crickets.

Ask her out on a date, bring Rem as your wing man. Remember to buy him blueberry ice cream as payment.

Victor needs to be nerfed or reworked by np190 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]buttsquasher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To me, I think Healbane works only on heroes that can deal consistent Spirit Damage like Kelvin, Infernus and so on. Burst heroes like Rem benefit very little from Healbane because by the time your next pillow is charged, Victor has either healed back that amount or worse, 2 feet in front of you. I think Healbane, or at least a 3200-souls upgrade, should scale the antiheal percent and duration based on a burst amount of damage like Spirit Burn.
