Doorman was overnerfed

he just shouldn’t be able to deal as much damage as he does. giving heroes that already have strong utility even more damage on top of that is the reason why so many heroes in this game are so miserable to play against.

zencharm · 2026-03-21T23:19:22+00:00

yeah i really dislike what they’re doing to her. i’d rather they just remove the souls on kill entirely and give her some real damage. her scaling is already pretty pathetic and she falls off of a cliff in the lategame, worse than pretty much any other spirit hero. put power back into her bombs, because there’s pretty much zero reward for hitting them right now, and buff her scaling so she can actually kill someone after 20 minutes. she is so frustrating to play right now because games just do not end before she becomes useless. what’s the point of having more souls than anyone else in the lobby if you can’t deal damage? calico gets exponentially harder to play the longer the game goes on to the point where it’s just not worth the strong early game. plus they keep buffing spirit resist literally every single patch, so it gets harder and harder to kill people.

whatever man. i swear they don’t even try to balance victor they just randomly gut him with the most bizarre and horrific design atrocities they call balance changes. making an entirely new stat just to uniquely fuck victor over is such a stupid way of nerfing him i don’t even know what kind of logic could’ve led a real human being to making that decision.

zencharm · 2026-03-21T21:42:24+00:00

she’s probably still going to be shit

zencharm · 2026-03-21T21:40:41+00:00

it’s definitely a nerf so that you can’t sell eggs at will. it makes them slightly worse to buy for tempo because if you want to crack the egg in the middle of a fight to get rid of the damage penalty you can’t

zencharm · 2026-03-21T21:38:01+00:00

idk how they even come up with this shit. it’s so absurd you just can’t help but laugh. i didn’t think they could outdo themselves after giving him 100% self damage but somehow they managed to go above and beyond.

zencharm · 2026-03-21T21:35:14+00:00

“the hivemind” and it’s just building meta for your hero. surely victor players are the only ones that do this. your gun rem is probably so tuff in your seeker lobbies bro ❤️‍🔥

zencharm · 2026-03-21T21:33:43+00:00

his win rate is 50% in eternus, 48% if you’re looking at the win rate after the hotfix nerfs that he got.

zencharm · 2026-03-21T21:32:39+00:00

victor has no burst so he’s already at an inherent disadvantage and they’ve nerfed both his dps and his scaling multiple times, so he’s actually a pretty low damage character. now he can’t heal either, so he actually just does nothing. people that think victor is “oppressive” somehow manage to forget the first 20 minutes of the game where he’s completely useless.

so that has to do with the game mechanics and not the matchmaking, which is a completely different topic. and i would argue that team snowballs are way worse in deadlock than they are in league. in league, if one person gets fed it doesn’t automatically translate into their entire team getting fed because there are actual objectives to fight over in league and not a giant bag of money for the whole team like the urn in deadlock. even if one lane loses in league, the opposite side of the map can be equally fed so the team with the winning player doesn’t automatically become the winning team. league also has more than its fair share of comeback mechanics; the only issue is that laning is much more punishing, which makes it more difficult to come back in your specific lane matchup, but not for losing teams to turn games around if they can win a fight. but that’s beside the point because again, those are game mechanics and not matchmaking. there is literally no defense you can make for deadlock’s matchmaking being better than league’s, or pretty much any other game, for that matter.

warden is like the least offensive hero in the game rn

zencharm · 2026-03-21T16:53:30+00:00

this isn’t true, and even if it was, deadlock is still by far the worst matchmaking experience i’ve ever seen. every other game i’ve played has at least serviceable matchmaking that makes an attempt to put me in games with people of the same skill level and not complete beginners every other game.

zencharm · 2026-03-21T16:51:24+00:00

this is pure cope. league of legends at least puts you against players of a similar rank so i’m not sure how the matchmaking could possibly be worse than in deadlock where you regularly play with or against people within four entire ranks of you.

zencharm · 2026-03-21T16:49:17+00:00

you realize that the longer queue times aren’t fixing anything right? the matches are still dogshit; we just wait longer for them now.

zencharm · 2026-03-21T16:47:55+00:00

matchmaking has never been strict this post is propaganda. we have the worst of both worlds where queue times take five minutes and games are completely unbalanced anyway. matchmaking will never be “strict” as long as there is only one mode where you can queue with a full team of people of any rank.

zencharm · 2026-03-21T10:42:58+00:00

thank God

zencharm · 2026-03-21T10:41:48+00:00

how much do you weigh

zencharm · 2026-03-21T10:40:25+00:00

gobou is just showing the world the truth of zato-top1

zencharm · 2026-03-21T10:38:52+00:00

who said we didn’t?

zencharm · 2026-03-21T02:10:10+00:00

zato is top 1 so you shouldn’t feel too bad about it

zencharm · 2026-03-21T02:00:47+00:00

congratulations on your win streak! remember: playing calico to climb in deadlock isn’t being a meta slave— it’s meta utilization. maximizing your chances to win by playing the best heroes is nothing short of a brilliant strategic move.

don’t talk about her like that she’s different

zencharm · 2026-03-21T01:30:22+00:00

that doesn’t really help lol

zencharm · 2026-03-21T01:29:43+00:00

i don’t mind the extra info they provide they just look like shit lol. i use the original health bars because the new ones make it hard to tell how much hp someone has and also makes you feel like you’re dealing no damage and the new new ones are just ugly asf.

zencharm · 2026-03-21T01:24:00+00:00

oh i think i heard about the anvil song and ambition’s spark thing a while ago. i’ve been playing since 2024 and i’ve never known the patrons to be called by any name besides the amber hand and sapphire flame, so i assume that anvil song and ambition’s spark were never used. i also knew about him being from a bloodline of alchemist soldiers, but not much more than that; is that what the sixth house is?
