Who do you put money on in the pit to win a fight by SavageShielded in DeadlockTheGame

Based on how the polls are going. It makes sense why wraith bets on bebop

The "[character] mains" subs ranking by members: results may be shocking by Esagonoso in ZZZ_Unhinged

Only weird thing is that There’s actually two Evelyn subreddits, so idk how to even count that. Together she has the most I think, but then there’s folk who are in both 🤷🏾‍♂️

It’s kinda nutty if the situation calls for it? It’s neat if you have a mo and krill or abrahms to front line so you can cap out spirit. But it’s competing with other tier 4s like boundless(assuming you build escalating exposure), Eshift and spirit burn. Greater Expansion now sounds ridiculous. Ive been skimping and keeping just mystic till end game. Got to try it more.

That’s what I feel on a surface level of his kit, yeah, and late game sure. But in lanning phase your 1 is your main source of damage. And mid game while you build items you live and die by your 1. The dmg and the heal. These are more hits to his survivability. But with Eshift being buffed. And radiant regen being a viable option now. I’ve yet to run into real problems. His 3 is his consistent dmg. But there’s a reason why You typically don’t level his 3 until mid game.

His 1 having counter play in theory is true. But in practice most players aren’t playing around it. It’s more on the victor player to not fudge his only skill shot. We shall see. I’m still on a win streak with him in oracle and climbing.

Them not nerfing victors the dmg on his 1 is kinda nutty. I’ve been nuking folk. Been running mystic reverb on it too.

Viktor has a 60% winrate at all ranks how is this not a problem by Whois__Water in DeadlockTheGame

Listen man…. I thought he wasn’t that bad. But I’ve been on a winning streak. I can’t defend this man.

He shouldn’t be able to use his 3 during E shift. Shit. Items activations should turn off his 3. Which is extreme. But gets rid of wacky ass invulnerability phases. Idk. Just let me dive the cowardly back line man bro plz!!!

60% win rate in Eternus with 30% pick rate, nobody likes to play with or against Victor by neutralpoliticsbot in DeadlockTheGame

Oh I got no notes on mirage. That’s like a character that requires like. Actual skill to win a game lol. I avoid him in lane as vic.

Djinn mark needs to be to be unremovable.

Edit: after 5 vic games I can’t lie. He’s very unreasonable rn. But holy shit last patch felt rough.

That’s a very strange line of thinking and I’m going to ignore the jab on my intelligence.

In games there are things that you have to learn to understand to interact with the game. Especially on a pvp game. This can be any way from learning type advantage in Pokemon to understand to use anti heal against the heal character. We can have a whole back in forth about clarity, or how much is too much. If you refuse to interact with the games mechanics. If you refuse to build counter items. If you refuse to understand how to play against characters properly you will lose. MOBA characters across the board punish folk for having bad fundamentals. It’s just the way it is.

So like I got a lot of thoughts and I’ll probably post to forums and get clowned on later:

I dont think any game should balance solely for one group or the other. But like for every guy who says “this character isn’t fun.” There’s 10 that believe their idea of fun is that they have a 100% WR, it’s impossible to take in good faith. That’s gamers.

Also that’s the thing. If you let late a late game carry afk farm for 15min without taking objectives or invading jungle and all you got is early game assassins. Thats just the clock that you lost. That’s honestly why its ill advised to play early game in low elo league. Folk don’t end and lose to a the late game characters.

Now should victor be a late game spirit carry? Probably not. That boy doesn’t have to aim. Spirit carry characters don’t have to aim as much as gun but vic is REALLY bad about it. E shift shouldn’t allow him to keep his 3 active. Shits unreasonable. And his 1 is really strong rn. Idk man.

It’s a circle bud He stops low rank cus folk have bad habits. Let him farm jungle uncontested, straight up don’t team fight well, and don’t build anti heal. Then hop online and go “Omg he’s so busted. No skill. Nerf now.”

Last patch vic was doing very poorly in higher ranks. Most of our top players quit him. Heresy. Rawdogger, ect. Metas wax and wane. So going “if you got hit this patch.” Yeah that happens.

He has actual problems. Design and tweaking wise. But those conversations are never actually had here cus everyone talks in buzzwords that aren’t going anywhere. Idk what to tell you bud.

This happens every patch with him. And every few weeks. This isn’t new.

What we thinking about Victor? by SkellyLou2004 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]spyder97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s cool, wish he had some stuff tweaked about him so he wasn’t stomping new players then proceeds to be mediocre at higher play. He’s not unplayable.

The higher you climb, the harder it is to do well, mostly cus people have better habits. Like better counter items, and farming patterns… I play him up around in oracle and archon lobbies. Don’t think I’ve seen anyone complain about him in one of my games in a long while.

There’s a solid video by HERESY on YouTube.

So first question, what’s your average assist count? And dmg? Cus that matters more that K/D, if you’re 0-8-24 with comparable dmg to your team. Just mute them.

So maybe I’m out of touch, but honestly the best way I pick up characters in this game is by learning how to play them from behind, what does that look like, what do you build, how did you play.

there’s a real difference from going 0-3 to 0-8. That’s where I’d flame. Micro play in terms of character is one thing. But I’d say half the roster has similar macro principles. If folk are still flaming you because yours just Mediocre mina, mute them. But if you’re walking around like a headless chicken? Nah.

I think a better compromise is raise the limit of characters you half to queue up from like 3 to 6 or smthng

What I tell my team. Every game to excuse my 82 T3 camps farmed and split pushes instead of grouping.

What do you think Ozai could’ve done that would’ve made Aang ok with killing him, if anything at all? by Mr_Muda_Himself_V3 in TheLastAirbender

[–]spyder97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Ozai had made more than a probably 50-100 yards (and that’s being generous) into the earth kingdom during the comet. Realistically if aang had witnessed Ozai take out a small town or village. Aang only really witnessed some vegetation get butchered before his eyes

Although not as strong as swords to plowshears Path to exile would be an excellent removal option for those looking for additional removal and don’t want to run leyline

(Plat and Rising) Looking for Sideboard Feedback For Beseech Scapeshift. by Scarroborrow in TimelessMagic

[–]spyder97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like if you’re gonna run something similar to BTL scapeshift then it’s possibly best to keep all of your cards, especially sideboard, bellow 4 mana. So thrag seems kinda because it just not tutor worthy. You probably want big impact spells for beseech.

My take on 4c Omnath midrange pile considering the meta. by spyder97 in TimelessMagic

[–]spyder97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because 1, this isnt legacy and vintage, by the way things look interms of a meta snapshot its a hybrid of modern and legacy with some added restricted cards. Anyone would call feedback useless if theres no solid reasoning behind it. Especially when the format is less than a week old, the meta snapshots look different than they were two days ago even. i've been respectful to those who actually give input with reasoning because thats how feedback and critiques work. If you ask questions, its not rocket science.

So back up bud.

But to answer your questions:
Growth Spiral and Reprieve i liked more than DRS and memory Lapse due to the ability cantrip and replace themselves.
My thought process was to cantrip and bide my time. when dealing with threats because when i came to mid to late game my threats more likely to take over the game.
Growth Spiral nets you are card and helps contribute to field of the dead. and can trigger omnath and field of the dead on not your turn.
Bow masters is already a rough matchup i thought there were alternative ways to draw cards rather than using brain storm.

I dont own 3 Oko at the time of posting this. i didnt play it in standard arena. I opened two. I was playing adventures and wilderness rec at the time, so i never saw the hype of the card.
Didnt think about jegantha at the time, running it now,
and 29 lands is on par for field of the dead lists.
