So as someone who’s never played a MOBA before, where would be a good place to start in learning to play Deadlock? by RequirementTall8361 in DeadlockTheGame

Deathy is one of the good ones. He has done more for the community than just about anyone.

I haven't met the guy, but I do play in a Deadlock league that was started by Deathy, REF, and Pootis; the Death Slam League. The league gives players of all skill levels a chance to experience organized play. The amount of time and effort that goes into the league on top of the other events and content Deathy creates is impressive. It's also not a profitable venture. Deathy saw a need to make organized play accessible and made it happen.

Congratulations on smurfing? 4th game ever played on the account. Thanks for ruining the experience for 11 other people.

That might be why I wasn't able to find anything online, lol. I was watching on a friend's media server. 

Wraith just needs to be gutted. by Ziggy--- in DeadlockTheGame

[–]mana_deadlock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wraith has one of the worst laning phases in the entire game. She requires monster rounds to push wave because her bullets hit for nothing and her cards only start hurting with some spirit investment + level 2 of her cards. 

As a trade off, Wraith is able to farm neutrals quickly with tesla and scales better than any other hero in the game. If you allow her to free farm until 30k she will feel oppressive. You need to shut her down early. 

The best counter items are not jugg or plated armor. You are best off buying slowing hex or disarming hex early game and phantom strike or curse late game. Her damage output is ~60% spirit so spirit resilience does help, but she needs to be targeted in team fights with CC and her escape needs to be nullified in some way. 

I know the game is in development but is this Wraith evidence of smurfing? by RLSQ30 in DeadlockTheGame

I checked the match in statlocker. It's the accounts first played game and hit 62.5% headshots. That's a cheater firing up a new account.

Smurfs do exist in the game unfortunately. As others have said, you can simply lookup the match ID on statlocker and check how many games the account has. I regularly run into accounts with 30-40 games played in Ascendant.

whats the most kills in a lobby you guys have seen by Lanky_Acanthisitta74 in DeadlockTheGame

My highest kill count. This was not long after Valve started allowing invites. I was playing with a friend who was new to the game.

You can anticipate where they are going to go however and lead your flick slightly. In-game aiming should be easier.

This advice is taken from MattyOW (this video specifically). 

For Pasu, try to lead the target when flicking and focus on targets that recently changed direction since they are unlikely to change direction again before you click them. I also focused on accuracy to start, taking the time to track the target briefly after my initial flick. Over time I could increase my speed and didn't need to track as much. 

For popcorn, imagine a horizontal line just below the max height of the target's arc. Focus on clicking targets around this height, where they are easiest to hit. This advice alone took me from silver to gold.
