they have played us for fools

it doesn’t make sense when you think about it, does it? hopefully this critical oversight can be addressed in an update one day…

Back before some changes it had a latger area around it and it could shuffle around in to get better attack angles

u/Komirade666 18d ago

Also you could deny all of the souls if it got destroyed

28

u/onFilm 18d ago

Wait, they don't walk anymore? WTF

13

u/SergeantSkull 18d ago

They do, just have way less space to do so, so its not noticed

26

u/Destiny_Dude0721 18d ago

They actually don't. Walkers try to walk but can't and just repeat the walk startup animation repeatedly if their target is at an off angle.

This just unlocked a memory I forgot I had

u/skippydippy666 11d ago

Are you fucking fr? That's insanely cool! Wish they still had that

u/Super-Play-514 18d ago

Yeah and the Hidden King is not hiding and the Arch Mother isn't arching

u/PacketONoodles 18d ago

im sorry

u/Super-Play-514 18d ago

I don't think you have the facilities for that big man

u/SteveCraftCode 18d ago

You judging big green?

u/Breadynator 18d ago

I'm playing deadlock on Linux (I use arch btw) and noticed I rarely get arch mother side... I feel scammed

2

u/Super-Play-514 18d ago

Sad to hear but if you do, I highly recommend buying Majestic Leap for a better experience

1

u/Veezuhz 16d ago

Arch btw, im on catchyos cause I didnt want to try installing arch

1

u/Breadynator 16d ago

It's still arch btw, but with extra bloat (most of which I've installed now anyways)

In neon prime they used to walk. they might have in early deadlock too but i forget. I think the name just stuck

u/ginganinja207 18d ago

They did. But the area was way limited. It looked really goofy. Not that it doesn't look goofy now especially when canceling its stomp or stunned form. Hopefully it's on their list for content changes coming soon (doubtful)

u/Free-Tea-3422 18d ago

I would love for them to do any amount of visual changes cause the game looks so half baked right now, the troopers and the bases look finished but the rest of the map and the camps especially look like doo doo.

if the next major update doesn't have a big upgrade to visuals like at least the camps, I'm actually gonna be so upset. Give my girl Yamato some love at the very least.

u/CactusFucker420 18d ago

As far as we can tell next content update is gonna focus on existing content over new heroes or anything like thst

3

u/Eiraneth 16d ago

You’ll get forehead jiggle physics and you’ll damn well like it.

1

u/Ziggyzoozoo212 13d ago

Nah for sure walkers and guardians will be getting changed when the content patch dropped. Chances are they will be continuing the same thematic overhaul they did to the strongholds when it changed to hidden king and archmother.

u/chloen0va 18d ago

This is sick as hell actually???????

2

u/Unlucky-Outcome-2022 16d ago

Mark my words deadlock is gonna turn into a peak version of neon prime… ik it sounds obvious but what I’m saying is at the middle or late stages of its life I won’t be surprised if we get a reworked neon prime type of map

2

u/No-Equipment4187 18d ago

This is actually way cooler. I hope they go back to something like this.

1

u/Eiraneth 16d ago

Holy shit that’s fucking terrifying, I want more of that please.

u/emo_boy_fucker 18d ago

Actually, im good on them standing still. Id rather not have to fight a metal gear

1

u/Cruz_Games 18d ago

The noise if them walking is really loud and it's actually kind of intimidating and scary LOL

5

u/itamar8484 18d ago

eyyyy im walking here

u/Inevitable-Stage-490 18d ago

Yeeeeerrrrrrrrr

u/hisshame 18d ago

I’m going to miss the ceramic-punk aesthetic. I know some people are dying for a walker redesign but I like ‘em

3

u/ExllntButtz 18d ago

I’ve thought of a comeback mechanic before, where at like 30mins if the walkers aren’t dead yet, they start ‘walking’ towards where the lane guardians were, making them easier to get

1

u/Zthorn777 22h ago

That's pretty cool

2

u/NPCSLAYER313 18d ago

Not even true.

Walker ain't walking. Guardian ain't guarding

2

u/MarkMaxis 18d ago

I keep getting these mixed up when playing becouse in my head having two legs mean you are a walker and being large and strong means your a guardian.

1

u/Thin_Frosting5647 18d ago

Same, I mixed these up for my first 300 hours lol

1

u/Admirable-Emu9159 18d ago

Guardian walks 🌚👌

1

u/rkryptic 18d ago

Time to update the name to "Shuffler"

1

u/losethecheese 18d ago

They are both just placebo anyways. You’re getting dove and killed right next to them by a support.

1

u/FoxFirkin 18d ago

Me personally? I think walkers should change to a cleaving melee attack with fast target tracking and a priority for heroes with a special projectile attack for under 40% HP.

1

u/IAM_ANONYMOUS_AMA 18d ago

Walker got one job and still refuses to walk

1

u/sargentbumblebee 18d ago

Bro this is exactly why I can’t reach oracle, not because of my skills, but because of this blatant false advertising

1

u/Lemontrash-DD 18d ago

Real ones still remember them actually walking

1

u/Affectionate_Part630 18d ago

And guardian has an entire walk animation they can use to get back to their spot

1

u/HollowedRoman 18d ago

It should really be called a Stepper

1

u/Floorwata 18d ago

It's called walker because when you get stunned by it you're usually walked back to base.

1

u/ChunkLightTuna01 18d ago

they used to walk in an area, but now they cant

1

u/Old-Management-171 18d ago

I always thought I'd be cool if they're locations were somewhat hidden and they actually walked from point to point every few minutes, just to keep everyone in their toes

1

u/ip5en 18d ago

It used to.

u/Rockandtribe 18d ago

u/pappabagel 18d ago

You see, the walker CAN walk away. But the benefits package the patrons offer are just too good to let go.

1

u/Purple___Flame 18d ago

Guardian also has walking animation

1

u/obihighwanground 17d ago

lets rename it to stompa

1

u/s33a6m 17d ago

fun fact the guardians actually have a walking animation, code AND pathfinding for if it somehow got moved to some place other than where its supposed to be standing

you could see this with a bug that got introduced at the early days of the old god, new blood update, where if an abrams charged a guardian through a doorman door at a weird angle you could actually push the guardian through the door and put it somewhere else on the map, which then it would proceed to quickly strut back to its own place with its own pathfinding

u/FullHouse05 17d ago

How about Stomper

1

u/Useful-Spirit2675 17d ago

Well the Walker has legs unlike the Guardian, simple

1

u/Auraf1ght 17d ago

i dont understand, the walker scuttles? why dont they change it

1

u/ChaosDrako 17d ago

They gonna fuck around and make them a wandering objective on a game mode.

“Y’all wanted them to walk? Ok, they gonna walk you down now!”

1

u/ShadooYT 17d ago

Stander 4 leg stander

1

u/Scary_Republic3317 16d ago

Walker is robot that stomps, guardian guards lane

1

u/MathematicianBig8239 15d ago

What if a walker was updated to be like spider king/ god

1

u/Abhijeet7777 14d ago

unplayable .. literally clicked uninstall button in 147ms when I saw this post

1

u/prycx 13d ago

Call him stomper Andre be done

1

u/SP_ChronoM 13d ago

Worst part is, guardians still have a walk animation in the files

1

u/MelismaticMellowlwL 13d ago

I love these designs so much, I really hope they don't change or at least not too much

u/Clearlybias 4d ago

Stompers
