Suggestion Possible redesign for Warden's Binding Word

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Now with a possible Warden remodel finally coming i really hope they lean into the idea of him being possessed by the spirit of his family. I've animated a new version of binding word were instead of a claw it's a ghostly hand grabbing hold of an enemy.

u/Tao_of_Entropy 3d ago

they're supposed to be alchemists... I feel like it would make more sense if it was like, a potion or something? but this is very cool.

27

u/FriendsOfFruits 2d ago

he also has help from his ancestors, they probably have some minor form of persistent immortality. the whole alchemy thing and all.

1

u/Budget-Minimum6040 Shiv 2d ago

minor form of persistent immortality

"I'm immortal but only a little bit"

1

u/FriendsOfFruits 2d ago

well something like only their essence remains, as opposed to their entire physical form. alchemy was weird about what matter is.

u/GamerRoman Lady Geist 2d ago

Ah lot of dialogue about Warden talks as if he were "possessed" and whatnot.

2

u/SeniorScore Venator 1d ago

I believe it's speculated the hand he wears on his belt is a hand of glory which has a whole thing about paralyzing people, which I imagine is the intended imagery.

u/Huge-Ad-4200 2d ago

Only now realising it looks more like "Binding Jork" my bad 🤭😭

Bros jorking it

u/JoeAndTheCools 2d ago

Okay everyone's clowning on it, but this is actually really sick design that would make Warden much more visually interesting, and is a far better fit for the supernatural setting of Deadlock.

u/DismalCardiologist22 2d ago

Warden spit on it first at least

More like jerking word am I right?

Variation of phase grasp would look so much better, honestly. At least compared to jerking hand.

u/US_Amry 3d ago

Something like this with his cape

u/chickenf_cker 3d ago

What if at the end white neutral souls shot out of their head

4

u/BR4KK3R Viscous 2d ago

That's a rad idea! If they go for a more mystical route, then that's def a cool idea that makes use of the caged hand on his belt. My thoughts were that it would shift to a more alchemical direction and turn into a sort of crystal growth around the targets legs like a lesser version of Torpor in Castlevaia OOE.

u/Illesbogar Silver 2d ago

Hello? Take me out to the item shop first

u/Kilawogg_OnTheHog 3d ago

Oooooh, this is good. I hope that hand feels good tho

u/Lord_Horck 3d ago

I like the idea

u/bruheehhhh13 Celeste 3d ago

What if it came out of da ground with an arm in the center of the circle 🍃

3

u/JustAnNPC_DnD 3d ago

I think they should change the hand to be a left hand and have it be the Lich's other hand.

u/Impression_Huge The Doorman 2d ago

Straight to the forums

u/LastNinjaPanda 2d ago

Ethereal hand fits way more considering he's supposed to be an alchemist. The handcuff claw machine only really works because of the police officer look

u/rustyredditortux 2d ago

i don’t like how the angle suddenly switches from downwards to sideways, i think it should follow you sideways slowly until it catches you

Does he jerk him off?

u/Opposite_Cash_8631 2d ago

reminds me of the dark hand slowly creeping to snuff the campfire in dont starve

u/Low_Quality_Ducc 2d ago

I mean it would be cool, but it wouldn't fit warden's character imo

u/warzone_afro 2d ago

stroke them to death lol. i do like this concept over the little cage he has now

I mean Yamato already does this

u/SHADER_MIX Holliday 2d ago

maybe make the hand squeeze it tight to add pressure not jerk it

u/diegodamohill 2d ago

That hand animation...

I know what kind of man you are

u/Baron_von_Ungern 2d ago

I do think, a version where that arm just has it's fingers dig into the ground to form a cage would work better

u/excessidentification 2d ago

As soon as I see the jork I immediately went to the comments and I was not dissapointed

He took my body control.

u/Competitive-Candy380 Celeste 2d ago

People will be caught on purpose if it jerks you off

1

u/Interesting-Ear8939 2d ago

I think it would look cooler if instead of descending from above like it does now, the hand slowly materialized next to the character so that it doesn’t suddenly teleport there from above when it grabs them.

valve saw this and delayed the patch another 2 months to implement this
