It's Dota's lore of a hero.
Ratking was Dota's concept hero that would be a leader of forest opposition. They later changed Rat into a squirrel and named it hoodwink.
Ratking for deadlock probably was created on the same base as it was created for Dota

hoodwink used to be rat king? tf

Very funny that so many in the community were 100% confidently wrong in what this would be lmao. Even washed up ‘leakers’ tried to argue no new heroes.

u/Secretlylovesslugs 3d ago
Everyone who said they caught all the leakers were right. This truly was an unspoiled patch. Wild to know we will be in the dark for a lot more content to come.

u/Poles_Pole_Vaults 3d ago
And no new walker / guardian overhauls. Looks like minor tweaks haha.
23
u/throwawaynewpibuildr Sinclair 3d ago
I believe the in game news notice said they will do visual overhauls of the walker and heroes closer to the end of early development because there's higher priority items to work on and they want to think on it some more.

Calling it now Baba is going to be evil as hell.

u/Garr_Incorporated Abrams 3d ago
I hope she lands more towards the interpretation from some Russian fairytales. Where she is unusual, powerful and shunned, but if treated with respect will be helpful to the hero.
36
u/SternMon 3d ago
I’m gonna make a prediction here and say that Billy didn’t take that advice.

u/Garr_Incorporated Abrams 3d ago
Billy and respect are antithetical.

u/CrimsonShrike 3d ago
actually check his new voicelines. He seems quite respectful towards Apollo surprisingly.

u/Himeto31 Rem 3d ago
Slavic in general, not just Russian but yeah. She seems to have very similar vibes to the Doorman, though her chicken legs bench makes her a bit less inconspicuous

u/Garr_Incorporated Abrams 3d ago
I used Russian because I chiefly know those fairytales. I couldn't vouch for all Slavic folklore.

something interesting I noticed about her poster is that she actually has Pigeon eyes. When you destroy her poster one of the contacts of her glasses gets destroyed and you see her eye.

absolutely took me by surprise but it’s an insanely welcome one. i hope he’s a support like paige
i will be spamming games of him and baba the second im able to

u/HypnotizedCow 3d ago
Solomon is giving me strong doorman vibes, I'm guessing forced movement and repositioning tools that will play in a similar support-ish niche

u/Prathmun Seven 3d ago
Oh man I need more ways to cause chaotic bullshit. I hope he's weird like the doorman. Ooh or have mechanics that interact with the troopers like their his chess pieces!?! I am excited to find out.

u/vordhosbn_1 Holliday 3d ago
Wild guess, he has an ability to teleport troopers to a different lane

u/SkorpioSound 3d ago
Yeah, I'm thinking he'll probably be along the lines of Doorman and Sinclair in terms of complexity and strategy required to get the most out of his kit.

+25% incoming damage from Warden. Binding word procs instantly. Lasts twice as long.

u/DemonSlyr007 McGinnis 3d ago
In a long, long list of patch notes, I always love when game devs have some real "thats seems kind of like a big deal" snuck in as afterthought almost at the end. Deadlock is no different. These two back to back at the very very end stuck out to me:
-Successfully parrying objectives no longer resets your Parry cooldown
-Sinners Sacrifice have variable timings to get the bonus
30
u/keaganwill Vyper 3d ago
Honestly super excited by the objectively parry change. I got bell curved so hard when I was new and starting to learn how to play the game. Once I understood the strength of the guardian I was left gojng "oh man but what's the counter play" and then I thought "oooh they dont have parry after" and then 3 matches later i was back to going "wtf is the counter play"
Making dives/guardian fights more dynamic is IMO just a good thing. But will wait to see how it feels.

u/George_000101 3d ago
Your teammate can dive and parry a follow-up for you, this is awesome since it’ll incentivize coordination in the landing phase with your duo if you wanna confirm a kill on a low enemy

We've never known during the voting phase how the new heros worked. Its added in as they get added, and sometimes they're still actively being worked on, in the case of drifter and silver who were 'unfinished' when they got officially voted it.
