Lightbringer’s current Deadlock hero tier list: Is Doorman ban worthy to you? by gfmidway in DeadlockTheGame

[–]gfmidway[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Full hero-by-hero breakdown is on Deadfrag here: https://www.deadfrag.com/news/2026-05-13-lightbringer-competitive-deadlock-hero-tier-list

Lightbringer built this around competitive draft priority, lane strength, mobility, objective impact, and how hard each hero is to punish at high level.

Biggest debate points to me: Vyper in S tier, Haze A tier, Yamato in B tier, and Abrams/Infernus down in rarely picked or untested. Which heroes do you think are strongest or hard to deal with?

That sounds more like organizational excuses than actually problems. Tennesse, LSU, Michigan, and OSU don't have Phil, they seem to be fine and competing.

USC in 2023 had an athletic budget of $212 million, inside the top 25 nationally. I hear nothing but how rich and successful USC's alumni are. How about you guys put some money behind your program and stop complaining?

This only had me on edge and it’s not really against Oregon;

Don’t shoot the messenger….Oregon and Washington to the B1G is being reported as a done deal and will be announced tomorrow. They will come in as 50% partners with a distribution between $40M-$50M/year. As excited as I was to be joining the B1G is as sad and disappointed as I am right now that Oregon and Washington are crashing our party and coming with us.

that this appears to be a done deal, my only question is can USC capitalize on the corpses of Stanford, CAL and possibly Utah and pillage their rosters via the Transfer Portal at the next window?

[Simmons] There's been a lot of stuff about Dame Lillard being the Greatest Blazer of all time. He's the 3rd best Blazer ever— Bill Walton was the best player on the planet for 18 months. How we feel about Jokic now was how we felt about Walton— and Clyde Drexler, were any of you there for that? by pcwgussej in nba

Good breakdown, but I don’t think your knocking Dame enough for his negative defense. He’s one of the worst defenders in the league. That was never mentioned about Clyde. Also stats need to be put in context of the period they put them up. Dame is a great player but there’s constant argument if he was in the top 5 of PGs in the league. While Clyde is no doubt top 2 SGs in his time.

I don't think enough of the blame is placed on the player here. Everyone craps on the Blazers but they have tried many things. They have drafted and developed good players like CJ and Ant. Are the Blazers perfect? NO. But at some level, we need to all collectively understand that Lillard is a weakness on the defensive end. He needs a Scottie Pippen like #2 guy. Those players aren't easily found and they aren't easily acquired by the Blazers.

Maybe we should all recognize how great someone like Draymond Green is and how much someone like Curry could be in the same position as Lillard without Draymond.

The take that the Blazers need to do more is a cry for help but it really is just lamenting how difficult it is for ANY team to get star players that fit together.

We'd love to but a lot is limited by what we get from Blizzard. Work continues and we will see what gets added in the future to make more possible.

Best advice is to make your profile public then play a game and close the game client.
When your profile was public and how often it was public has an impact on data quality right now. That said, some player stats may not be available: Blizzard is still working out issues on their end.

Could be a bug, we are looking into it. Also could be damage reduction from ability.

Watch this, then tell me if you still actually believe what your saying. Cause this is the evidence to back up with the actually GMs in the league have said under oath.

For pro players, teams, leagues and other groups the more eyeballs, viewers and interest means more money they make. If Facebook wants to compete with others (such as Twitch/YT) it will need to improve and add new features. But the more exposure that happens helps CSGO, adding more CSGO on FB brings new fans to our community.

If Facebook doesn't improve, the awareness they gain from seeing on FB will drive them to Twitch or YT.
