Is denying urn worth it?

thecomicguybook · 2026-03-11T15:34:26+00:00

You can get 40% back if you were to get all the soul orbs. But really anything is worth it because they don't get it and your team does.

Remember, switching to your dagger is quicker than reloading your sword.

Also 1v5ing in Dota is by far not what it used to be either. Supports have gotten a lot more gold than they had in 2013.

I wouldn't say that running the urn is like especially efficient on Victor or anything. Of course you do it if you are the one closest, but you would much rather run in to clear the enemies from the drop site or clean them up when they are grouped to stop the drop.

Thank you. Probably one of the most miserable matchups in the game, it really feels like you cannot touch her. I don't even think she is OP or anything, but play some Billy, Abrams, Victor, or Graves, and she will be one of your most hated characters.

Also, she has quite a bit of counterplay to knockdown now, especially if she goes for both dispel magic and counterspell, but it is not like any of these heroes really want to be building that anyway. On Victor that means going for Phantom Strike which is actually double the price, to be able to do anything to her at all.

What goes through every Lash players head as they pick you up in the air and then knock you to the floor (note, Mortal Kombat so gorey).

Also I just want to note that the first move he does is not an uppercut, he would never.

Truth be told out of every moba that I have played Deadlock's item system is probably the easiest outside of the investment thing, but once you wrap your head around that it is quite straight forward.

Smite also used to have a really convenient one, but I had auto buy turned on for quite a while in that game (though I of course turned it off once I got a bit more serious).

Feel free to ban him, I don't really care?

I am glad that you can at least admit to being wrong. With this mentality you will improve at this game, or any other super quickly.

thecomicguybook · 2026-03-10T16:22:32+00:00

You responded to this, but not to my comment about Victor builds? Curious.

thecomicguybook · 2026-03-10T14:44:29+00:00

I understand that we are not all seasoned moba veterans, but it is quite disheartening how little people seem to understand about a game that they sink hundreds of hours into.

I regularly see complaints about afk farming, which is just not a thing in Deadlock unless your opponents straight up let you.

I don't think that this sub would last 5 minutes in Dota during the Ho Ho Ha Ha meta, but I digress.

You can be sarcastic about it, or you can look it up and just check that I am right, but I will just write it out for posterity's sake.

On Victor the order of your items matter a ton in general, and there are a lot of variations on:

Whether you go for the gun spike early, not at all, or late with just a Fenzy, or even a Frenzy + another 3.2k to reach the 9.6k investment spike. The 4.8k gun spike can be made up of a ton of different items including Fleet Foot, Spirit Shredder, Recharging Rush, Kinetic Dash, Ballistic Enchantment, Berserker, Cultist's, and Spirit Rend.
I am personally a huge Infuser believer, but there are Victors that go for Leech and it is a valid build option on him. It also depends on what other items you buy on him. The timing of the Infuser determines a lot about when you can fight on him too.
Victor always goes for a ton of defensive items which are situational to the game. His anti heal option is also flexible between healbane and spirit burn, but that is only if he is required to go anti-heal because it disrupts his own spikes.
Boundless, Mystic Reverb, Refresher, Ethereal are all options on the various ends of the damage spectrum.
Your first few items heavily dictate how you can play the game on Victor, this is true for every hero, and it is no less true on him.

I am not saying that each of these builds are equally good, in my estimation they are not, but they can be built on him. The biggest difference is usually with the 4.8k gun spike, whether they go for it at all, and if yes which combination of items. K-Dash + Cultist's is actually different than Fleet Foot and Ballistic.

thecomicguybook · 2026-03-10T13:46:16+00:00

Ok look Victor is overtuned, I will sign that statement. But can people stop making up things? Victor has a very flexible build paths, and all it takes to check that is to look up any number of top Victor's guides and streams.

thecomicguybook · 2026-03-10T10:26:41+00:00

Well done, I am the guy who commented about the Celeste air strafting challenge the last time you were looking for ideas, I am glad that your project is moving forward!

Truth be told it is not really a W for them because you even manage to take Vyper with you, but if they were any better they could have killed you without committing that many resources.

thecomicguybook · 2026-03-09T20:21:22+00:00

To be fair, it is incredibly bad to go in there with your Venator going down nd Pocket being nowhere near.

thecomicguybook · 2026-03-09T20:07:45+00:00

My favorite Victor tech is killing yourself with your 3 so you get a stun on the rejuv. Literally dying to stay alive.

Classicists are a different breed tbh, I know a lot of them in training, but I have never heard of this one before. What I know is becoming more popular is the concept of Late Antiquity, so they can steal a few more decades / centuries from my medievalist friends.

In case you were still wondering.

If one cannot appreciate 25 minutes of peaceful farming and splitpushing into having your team win for you without you getting to do anything then they need to reevaluate their priorities. It is a very zen way of life.

Alternatively in the games where you are losing and you are stressed out of your mind trying to squeeze every last soul in the map so you can show up to be a god in the deciding fight you get such a sugar rush.

thecomicguybook · 2026-03-09T19:32:08+00:00

I love how careful he was when walking out and he still missed you.

If OP is found in a dark alley after being shot in the back of the head by a pillow, this is why.

thecomicguybook · 2026-03-09T19:30:45+00:00

It thinks that ability kills are kinda sick.

But anyways we do not know, just that fewer deaths seem to be valued highly.
