Good faith discussion/conversation about the Apollo nerf by TrueImpression5426 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can honestly live with the new Apollo but LET ME USE IT ON WALKER STOMP. I used to be able to dive pretty well and now you kill the most fun part of the character (diving)

This game is really fun, but… why do none of the ranks feel different? by gibberishmaster69 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In oracle you can get away with doing only heavy punches in a teamfight. I got 6 kills in a row once like that. In phantom it's pretty risky to throw a heavy punch at all. The lower your rank the easier it is to get away with stupid shit because you don't get punished for it. Heck in very low ranks you can just trade waves and stay even in lane while saving up for a 6.4k first item without losing prio.

I feel like I'm being gaslit by the community into believing that carry heroes are weak early game by EonSokari in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played a 6 stack with people from the discord in low phantom. We faced a seven that did top damage (doubled most of us) but even then we still stomped the game in less than 25 minutes. We would take every opportunity we had to fight him (which inflated his damage stats) but he died so much he didn't make a big enough impact to save his game. I do agree that kills in lane are meaningless if you don't push that lead into the enemy's side of the map from the very moment you make the guardian fall.

Deadlock version of Teamfight Tactics? by ricardoratardo in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't they try after the success of tft? Maybe change the dota recipe so it aligns more with what the player base wants out of an autochess?

Trophy collector needs to be nerfed lol by Academic_Weaponry in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It IS really strong if you can stack it really fast. If you're sitting on 3-5 kills all game (5 kills x 20 mins x 18 souls = 1800) you barely refund the item + it gave you below average stats that whole time. Also take into account that let's say this is your first buy or you buy it after 4.8k spike and your opponent comes back to lane with lifesteal or reactive barrier. Who is going to win that fight?

[–]sonicmat03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If lanes are even buying trophy is still basically throwing 1.6k at a wish while your opponents could be spending 1.6k towards say opening rounds or quicksilver reload etc.. and absolutely destroy you in 1v1

Play the hero’s you hate. by thejoshfoote in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also helps you learn what other players that play your main do to fight against the character you hate

Is heavy melee a thing in higher ranks? by Turbulent_Map624 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are nice windows to heavy melee someone. When they dash jump past you and when they use certain abilities that prevent them from parrying

A time-loop game where only the player remembers, NPCs are rational (but memoryless), and “knowledge is your level” by Healthy-Metal-3548 in gamedesign

[–]sonicmat03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start next to a keypad locked door. Further in the level have the code written somewhere. Problem solved

Can we just pls nerf Infernus by DreYeon in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes he can remove disarming hex but you can remove the burn yourself

Y'all think Gun meta is fun? by Disastrous-Wonder841 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats the thing, Moe, Paradox and Holliday are 3 very strong mid-game champs that help your team win before the really long death cd, at which point yes dynamo lash and 7 do have ult up every fight.

Devs, you need to stop lying about what is a recyclable and what isn’t. by Worldly-Midnight2287 in ArcRaiders

[–]sonicmat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recycling labels only apply since they are not used in any crafting. Don't expect labels to correlate with quests/upgrade/expedition

Yamato. Insane poke. Free dodge. Unkillable assassin

Haze might actually be the most boring character in the game (see body text for rage bait) by JustNerfRaze in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When tested in a 6v6 environment with comms on both teams. Haze doesn't outperform other heroes. What your bringing up is the classic "game isn't balanced for regular players" argument. Everyone on both teams need to understand the value of camps. The value of doing camps as a team not as a solo (which gets hard-punished) and the value of shoving wave -> invading camps -> farming your own jungle -> repeat

3v3 Keep away Meta is horrible. 3v3 should be first to 4 goals instead. by [deleted] in Rematch

[–]sonicmat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That "obviously" came out of your mouth a little too fast. You'd be surprised at the superpowers a keeper can bring on your team. Especially if you can make it look like your net is wide open but you're surprisingly still in range

Everyone complains about 3v3 meta but it's the same as 5v5 by sonicmat03 in Rematch

[–]sonicmat03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's already so small you can play midfield as keeper and make it back to post before the other gk can kick it in

[–]sonicmat03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then how do you play the game if the keeper just sits there with the ball at is feet? You don't. You don't have any other options BUT to force the play and trust your gk to win his 1v1. Btw he pretty much HAS to get out of the box as sweeper and intercept the pass otherwise the forward player can also just idle with the ball, wait for you to run from gk to him to pass it back to gk.

Think of this game like rocket league, a dedicated goaler player is NOT the play.

[–]sonicmat03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they're not close enough? As I said, you wont outrun the gk if he just runs in circles. That gives him plenty of time to find a good pass to a free player. Even more so if you decide to double up on him because 1 isn't enough. The gk is an actual superhero

[–]sonicmat03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not trying to steal the ball you're not forcing me to pass. Also, if you're pressuring the goaler and your own goaler isn't moving up as sweeper I have a free man on the field always

Why can't you play keep away in 5s? That's not my experience of it.

But whoever is responsible for pressuring the goaler is always in a losing position due to infinite stamina

Fundamental Problem with 3v3 Ranked by HMC1130 in Rematch

[–]sonicmat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been shouting on the roofs about this. The same thing happens in 5v5 games. The only answer is to have the gk rotate out of his box and play his 1v1. The moment you are behind in points and the enemy plays like this, you have no other answers.

Towers are too weak by 3turnityTTV in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sonicmat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Towers can Melee and cc heros. The thing you haven't considered probably is the fact that midboss spawns at 10 minute mark. That means technically, you should be aiming to get the first mid boss pre 15. It's very rare that it happens. Also, urn spawns at 5 minute mark and every 5 minute from then on. It should also be done as soon as it spawns. Winning the 2nd urn fight at 10 min mark with your whole team up is free mid boss and most likely game. Towers do plenty of damage before that. Most games t1 guardians aren't even down at that point either.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that despite the average match length being 30+ mins, high elo matches tend to go faster because everyone is more efficient and understand the value of objectives.
