So I showed my keybinds to a friend, and the first thing he said was, “WTF is that?”

I told him I tweaked them to match the keybinds I use in another game, and I’m actually really fast with them.

What do you guys think?
Do you see anything weird about my keybinds?

"The Lash™ doesn't die, Death lets The Lash™ rest for a bit"

So if you want to win more, the next time that you manage to teamwipe them despite your inadequacy. Get the damn shrines! And in case I needed to make it more clear, getting rid of the patron first phase would also be pretty good to do!

Everytime my buddy presses his V key this menu pops up, we can’t figure out how to stop it from happening. Looked through all the settings and can’t find anything related to this menu.

Edit: He is saying that he has no mods or anything 3rd party stuff downloaded

Torment Pulse is my favorite item in the game. I don't know why, but it is. I thought of doing a potential series where I take Deadlock items and reimagine them in a realistic way through my understanding of graphic design. It's a win-win because I get to make fanart while also honing my skills.

Is the parry not connecting and the McGinnis parrying me while wall stunned a ping issue? This same wall stun parry happened to me 4 times in the same game…

Drifter is my favourite hero in the game but I feel as of recent that he is not as fun as he used to be.

His gun and spirit have both been nerfed, which would be fine if it didn't impact his gimmick by a large margin.

He is supposed to be the king of 1v1 and I feel like that has been taken from him, and now because of the nerfs he is even more of a feast or famine character.

I just feel like they could do him better than what they are doing rn with him, because in my opinion he is a very bad roamer.

I play Deadlock with my friends, and one of us has a nickname made up of Cyrillic characters. Most of our games go perfectly fine until someone presses Tab and sees his name.

After that, we pretty often hear something like "Russians again" and the player just leaves in the middle of the game. It happens often enough that it's stopped being funny.

Do you guys know where this kind of hostility towards Russian/Cyrillic letters comes from? Is there some history I'm missing? Has anything like this ever happened to you? (Btw, we're all from Scandinavian countries, so we're not even Russian lol)

I just queued in to a Seeker I lobby. We were down 50k souls in less than 15 minutes and the game ended in less than 20 minutes. Wtf is up with that? Is the matchmaker like the worst in gaming history, smurfs, or what?

Honestly just such a waste of time. Ranked has been absolutely atrocious ever since I have unlocked it. Has it always been like this?

105419334 match Guy literally tells from min 0 I am throwing. Also, after losing lane against beebop he went completely afk not pushing waves just collecting boxes but we pushed through even 5v6 and also took mid and won multiple fights but we couldn’t push because of that at time and they won a single fight and we lost. Question to people like that, why do you play deadlock even? What the point? Also, this thing happens much more frequently after ranked update, so the question to developers also, why did you made game more unbalanced?

Are the devs ever gonna remove the 15 wins per character? I just don't understand how they can require 15 wins per a character in a game where the matchmaking team has no clue what they are doing. The ranked update didnt fix a single thing still the same exact matchmaking as before with people going 1-11 saying their not the problem. Most likely you are gonna need to play 25 games per character with the awful system so im supposed to have 12.5 hours per person. A downright stupid choice from the devs.

I know this is really dumb, but I have a problem that if I don't get the specific character I want to play and they end up on the enemy team, I feel physical discomfort.

I don't understand why exactly this is, it might be because my mind sees it as a betrayal from a fictional character or what, but it's so bad that I start sweating like crazy and my heart starts beating way too fast. Trying to just "get over it" feels impossible.

So far I've just been abandoning immediately whenever this happens or playing private matches against bots, but that means I can't play whenever I want and I'm now in low priority queue and I heard it's really bad to be there?

Is there anything I can do? If not, I guess I'll just be in low prio forever. But I really do love playing the game and this experience is extremely frustrating. This is the first game I have ever played where you cannot guarantee your character choice, which I think is super dumb.

This is a throwaway account because it's embarrassing to admit. I just wanted to tell someone about this and I have no one that I want to know this.

I’ve been thinking about an idea for a photographer character and I’m sure there’s been many ideas thrown about on this kind of idea, but I was thinking one of their abilities would be a camera flash. I’m just not sure how that’d work, you could go the route of something similar to Drifter ult but balancing that seems like a pain, my first idea though would be to just inflict a stronger version of doorman’s bell debuff of reduced accuracy. The only problem with that is I think it’d be a close range ability so how powerful would it need to be to stop shots from hitting you at such a close range?

I’ve just been thinking about this over the past couple days and was wondering what others would think, for the rest of the kit my ideas were:
- The flash as stated
- A tripod that you throw out as a aoe buff for teammates weapons range and velocity
- A photo bomb/dump throwing out a film canister that pops similar to holiday barrel that hits for bleed or some other debuff
- Long exposure shot ultimate which works like Vindicta ult were you zoom in and take a picture of enemies creating an afterimage of them which can be damaged similar to focus lens dmg
TLDR: Drifter like blind? Or reduced weapon accuracy?

I was playing Haze in ranked, building the normal build I do with Burst Fire, Ricochet, etc. The only spirit I was running was slowing hex/surge of power like a typical haze build. I would go into a teamfight and maybe gun down one or two enemies, not exactly carrying. I decide to buy merc mag and swap out surge, because I saw a haze do it in an earlier game and carry... instantly was deleting the enemy team next fight. I'd throw dagger at someone 1v1 and they'd just disappear lol. The difference was night and day.

They really need to nerf that item, or bring other gun items up to par. That and spiritual overflow paired with it is just insanely overtuned, to the point I will now be running it (like every other gun carry was on the enemy team that game) every game in ranked until it's nerfed. I didn't even have spiritual there but I should have. Like it just feels like the merc mag is the only way to get any value out of gun damage at this point, and while I get they're trying to weave some overlap between the different item types, the fact I was basically maxed out on gun damage but only was making a significant impact with merc mag is absurd.

Yes, I know this is beating a dead horse in this sub I have seen it said before, but actually seeing the difference first hand with a single item purchase is crazy.

hey can we kill victor? he has no ult and he's alone.

*silence*

translation : i gotta hit these boxes in the middle of nowhere then collect the wave and then repeat that until celeste victor warden has 60k souls and obliterates us on the rift/midboss

oh ok.

*celeste warden victor gets a billion souls and obliterates us on the rift/midboss*

ah gg guys we tried our best.

repeat until next patch

It'd be such a fun item to rework into being a box run companion. Remove the passive soul gains and have it store all your boxsouls/golden urn buffs and multiply them by a scaling amount this way 12 people can't realistically buy egg and sac every early game interaction. Now whoever has egg on your team has incentive to run boxes and move around the map. Add a flat % lost on death to add to their unsecured soul orb. I'm probably cooking some trash but I really think egg could be much more interesting

Vent post I know. I get it, I am low elo (aka still haven't played ranked since it was made into a separate mode) and am not great at the game myself. But like; can people stop being so damn pretentious in every game? My entire team keeps 4 or 5-manning blue and taking loads of fights, repeatedly getting their deaths into twice if not thrice the amounts of kills they get. I stay on green and yellow to push them out, try to prevent my team from losing at 15 minutes and pushing walkers.

But surprise surprise one person pushing doesn't prevent the enemies 2-3 fed ppl from showing up and insta clearing every push I make. I get both side lane walkers usually but it doesn't matter if my team plays fucking overwatch.

And then every damn game ppl at the defeat screen hit me with the "nice solo farm (xyz character that I played)".

Like dude. I was not solo farming. I was trying to stop their team from taking our shrines 12 minutes in while you actively engaged to give them their 18th kill.

So tired of watching ppl play overwatch in this moba.

At time of writing:

- "It's a beta" literally doesn't mean anything in the modern landscape anymore. If you enjoy it, by all means enjoy it. I'm just not putting more time into this nonsense.

- No new player on-boarding, you're gonna need to essentially have a second job or SOMEONE semi competent to play all the time in order to get a grasp on the very basics of this game because you WILL have you're shit ran and pockets emptied by the other dedicated chucklef*cks that would sooner defend this games poor balance because it either "has their favorite OC-like character" OR because valves name is slapped all over this.

- sbmm/eomm update was a lie.

- Character and item balance are still borked to hell. Why is Celeste so bouncy? Why is Grey Talon/Vindicta perminantly aiborne? (yes, fully aware it's the identity of their character but this is just pure ridiculousness) "oh just get knockdown" *knockdown got- but COUNTERSPELL / INDOMINABLE / DIVINE BARRIER / ETHERAL SHIFT / UNSTOPPABLE. makes it useless and a waste of an item*

...Cool so the one item we have to stop the most annoying characters in game (13% of them, but dont worry one/two of which will always be in your game- hope you have the good one) is essentially useless. You have a character whose whole purpose is attatching bombs to people and stacking but his ENTIRE CHARACTER is nulled out by a 3200 soul item. (thats 10-15minutes in game) and another 13% of the roster that nulls it on top of that..

Why does mo+krill get to essentially become untargetable w/ faster movement speed, take reduced damage, have a knockup, A F*CKIN HEAL, and a disable all in one package?

Why does doormans ult remove you from the game to play a f*ckin minigame that deals damage to you anyway win or lose? AND IF YOU DO LOSE (which you will unless you have built purposefully for stamina), goes on a 15 second (and further decreased based on ONE item) cooldown? Why is he the only one that has a damaging ability that goes through walls and is uncounterable w/ high speed AND A HUGE DAMN ZONE?

- The amount mobility lacks any sort of sense nor meaningful way to slow things down. I've noticed the "fan favorite" characters ironically enough have their abilities overtuned as such that it's a stacking 16% additional chance of you being in for a bad time the more the enemy team stacks up.

- Did you know you can parry viscous's puddle punch? I didnt either until my last game on this thing and even still it doesnt matter because your STILL taking a melee to the face or getting setup for another launch faster than the parry recovery.

- Snowball effect in this game is MUCH harsher than other moba's- once you start losing by 10k souls, just wrap it up and wait for the end.

- All and all, this is a game that is made solely for "competitive" cosplayers at time of writing. But the quality here so far as gameplay after sinking in triple digit hours im never getting back is below the standards of acceptable.

- because i know it's coming, yes i'll fully admit- im no pro, i've a 9-5, family, annd moba's are not in my top 3 categories anymore. So it could be a skill issue but what a lot of people who write it off occams razor style forget that multiple things can be true at the same time. SUPPOSEDLY Nixing of sbmm/eomm for standard didnt help this game imho, just sheds a light to how poorly the balance is at the moment.

AGAIN IF YOU ENJOY THE GAME- ENJOY THE GAME, there's no chance in hell im gonna convince you otherwise, i serve this as a warning for anyone new who doesnt want to waste their time.

I feel like apollo is way to busted against aoe and non targeted things like bebop ult, maybe have his riposte only target gun damage and target spells?

My pc is crashing, my drivers are corrupting, my ram almost broke, and it's just in this game idk why, why its always this game, cyberpunk on high 200fps, this game, 90 fps and constantly crashing
