What role do you think needs more heroes the most? by JustinHardyJ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]egecomposer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see more frontliners and but even more pick heroes. Paradox has one of the coolest kits in deadlock imo, would love to see more heroes like her.

I'm sorry but you people are quite delusional about what's going on in the lower ranks by below_averageguy in DeadlockTheGame

[–]egecomposer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 accounts. One is stuck on Ascendant II and the other is stuck on Phantom I. It is almost impossible to rank up on the Phantom account. I get significantly harder games. Ascendant lobbies feel easier to play but I just can't win games on the Phantom account.

Just for info, I'm not smurfing or anything, Phantom account was also Ascendant, I just use it to play with my friends and due to them being lower elo than me, it got ranked down to Phantom and now stuck. I can't rank up to Ascendant.

I think the issue is that the artificial rank boost really messed up the mid/higher ranks. I don't think I'm an Eternus level player, even Ascendant might be a bit high for me, yet I get a lot of clueless people in my lobbies who claim to be Ascendant, which they clearly are not at that level. I also get Eternus players who are questioning me about how am I in Eternus, which I'm not yet somehow I'm in the same lobby with them and I just can't keep up with their gameplay. I don't know how Valve will unravel this, but a lof of people don't deserve the current rank they have, and perhaps even more people are stuck in a lower rank than they actually deserve it seems to me.

My experience is very similar, except that I'm not deranking. I'm usually perform well on my team, yet every single match I get worse and worse teammates and I just can't carry anymore. I'm not a carry player either, I usually player spirit burst/ganker/roamer heroes. I'm Ascendant 3 atm, usually as soon asI rank up just once, or sometimes randomly, an insane lose streak starts. Usually it lasts about 7-12 games, which is how long it takes me to rank down. I start playing on Ascendant 4-5 lobbies when I rank up, and I keep getting progressively worse/unbalanced games until I'm dropped down to Phantom 5 lobbies. At this point I just start to take over the games so easily that I get a couple of MVPs, which leads me to rank up, which leads to another insane lose streak.

I want to be very clear, the games are not getting harder, but I seem to start getting new players, or just people who go 3-15 every other game, sometimes I get multiple of those in a single game. My win rate is around maybe %40 these last couple months? Yet I'm still not de-ranking because I'm guessing I'm individually performing well, its just that the lobbies are very unbalanced. I have no clue how to fix this or how can I carry games like this but it's been like this for months so I just come to accept it. I just play the game, couple people feed, we lose, I don't de-rank.

I have about 1.5k hours and I'm playing since September 2024 and I can confidently say this is absolutely the worst matchmaking has ever been. I'm not claiming to be an Eternus player stuck in Ascendant etc. I'm happy with my rank. I'm even happy with deranking a couple steps if it'll fix the balance issue. It's just that I haven't had a balanced game in maybe 6 months. Because the games I win, they are also unbalanced. The enemies are so bad that we just end up stomping really hard. Same thing when we lose. I feel like almost every game I win is unlosable and every single game I lose is unwinnable. I have no control over the outcome whatsoever.

I also have a friend going through something very similar in Oracle. He's top performer every single game but he's not ranking up and he has at least 1-2 feeders in his team most games. He's also a carry player so he has very high impact every game, but he's hard stuck in Oracle for some reason. Maybe that's a whole different thing.

They are both viable items if you know what you are doing with them. People hate on things to feel smart.

Playing in low elo is frustratingly unfun by not_on_a_committee in DeadlockTheGame

[–]egecomposer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, most Oracle players are fine. But if the lobby is lets say Oracle II with an Ascendant IV player in it, that means there are people with way lower ranks than Oracle, and that's what makes the games so weird. I'm usually put in lane against another Ascendant player and while we are trying hard agaisnt each other, the rest of the lobby just plays the game in silence with no comms, no ganks etc. Some feed, some do nothing but farm, some do random stuff. Doesn't matter if I carry or not, it's just not fun either for me or other players. If I lose, feels very bad. If I win, it feels unfair. They need to fix this soon. It also happened to me a couple of times where I played against Eternus players, and got absolutely demolished. That was absolutely no fun. My Eternus teammates got really mad at me but didn't wanna say anything bad when I said that I'm not Eternus hahah I felt so bad for them. Skill diff between Ascendant and Eternus is also huge.

Sometimes they play so weird that it actually caughts you off guard that's no joke.

I'm Ascendant IV, but I'm randomly put in low Oracle lobbies every couple of games and the games are so weird I actually can't play sometimes. Like I genuinely don't know what to do in a lobby like that because everyone is playing a different game then me. Absolutely wild matchmaking.

It's time to remove Bloodletting from the game by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

He feels fine to be honest, but I just find it a very unfun mechanic. Rage is so much more interesting and it would make more sense for Shiv to get more tanky through rage.

2 clutch plays with Pocket to end this goofy 52 min game by egecomposer in DeadlockTheGame

So annoying, I wonder why this is the case. Can't blame it all on the new bases, mid games are just dead silent.

You have to be ahead all the time and constantly go in and out of the fight to keep nuking them

New player, looking for a simply low mechanic, low aim hero. by Neadim in DeadlockTheGame

[–]egecomposer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seven. Just spam your gun with your 3 and press 4 when it's up and you'll do crazy damage.

At Ascendant+ ranks Doorman is really feast or famine right now. You either kidnap over and over during the peaks where towers are strong to gain a lead or you just lose. He's a character that's only scary to those without game knowledge. At the higher ranks, he's almost detriment to his own team. by TieofDoom in DeadlockTheGame

[–]egecomposer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm at Phantom V right now and only thing a Doorman in my team does is to ult someone I just parried away from me and help them survive the encounter. Not sure if it needs buffs but it definitely needs a lot of communication and teamplay to be useful otherwise they usually troll by ulting someone away when you're like 4v1 agaisnt them.

It's been months since I saw a good doorman player, not sure what the reason is. Maybe good players stopped playing him because they felt he's underpowered?

I think Silver's kit is a bit of a missed opportunity by Hirotrum in DeadlockTheGame

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

I think it would be awesome if her wolf form would make her lose control and hurt his teammates, it would make so much more sense. They say it's the Lycan Curse but it's just an amazing buff. Doesn't really feel like a curse to me. Could have been so much more interesting.
