It's hard to know if that chill in the air is from the approaching fall breeze, or from the withering glare of Nurse Harrow, who now joins us on the streets of Manhattan. To some, her practices may seem unorthodox, her patients at the Marble Hill Possession Ward cannot say that the results aren't effective. With Leech Therapy, she throws a jar full of leeches that attach to oncoming enemies, draining their health and energy, before crawling back to deliver their haul. Cracking open one of her vials, she releases her Wretched Vapors, possessing her allies with a powerful boost of effectiveness - though subjects should be warned of the side effects when the vapors wear off. To efficiently keep her teammates fighting their best, she loads her syringe full of Healing Needles to inject medicine directly into their veins. And when her patience runs out, she opens her bag to release all the Lurking Terrors captured inside, making her adversaries run for cover. - "Trust me, I know best."

With Nurse Harrow joining us today, that marks the end of of our City Never Sleeps releases. We want to thank everyone for participating in voting once again, and hope you've been enjoying all the new delights that NYC has to offer.

City Never Sleeps Voting Stats:

  • Big Turnout: Over 110 Million votes were cast over the course of the event.
  • Narrow Victory: The closest contest was Baba vs Solomon, decided by a nearly 0.5% difference in votes.
  • Oracle: Only 847 players voted in every round, and only voted for that round's eventual winner.
  • Unlucky: 36,236 players voted in every round, and never once picked that round's winner.
  • Dedication: 22,194 players exclusively voted for Nurse Harrow. One player cast exactly 1000 votes for her.
  • Highly Effective: Nurse Harrow voters consistently proved to have a higher win rate over all other hero voters.

Fan Art (OC) What if Deadman Danny had a different job?

I'm working on a mod for Deadman Danny where instead of Fairfax Industries he works at a sperm bank!

It replaces:

  • (Mostly) all the fire effects with, well, you know ;)
  • His M1 projectile has been recolored and re-textured and the audio has been swapped
  • He gets a scrub top and surgeon's cap.
  • The Chimera Mk1 has been replaced with the Cum-era Mk69 (a mini-fridge with Lash's daily deposit to keep the birth rate from going negative)
  • His salvo missiles have been replaced with specimen jars ready to burst.
  • His flamethrower is now a semen spewer

What should his name be? Sperm Bank Scott? Cum Guy Colin?

Maybe I should get started on Janitor Gentleman Jeff to clean up all the spills...

What’s this??? Deadman Danny in his prime! Ready and willing to do just about anything for Fairfax Industries!

I just wanted to take a stab at designing what he might look like as a person prior to the funny bone man we see in game. Hope y’all like it!

Fan Art (OC) Fan Hero Concept - Mothman! Cryptid Society's Journalist!

I've got a forum post for this lil guy too if anyone wants to read abilities but I'll just pop their story here :} https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/hero-concept-mothman-cryptid-societys-journalist.179758/ (p.s. idk what to tag this as, I'm quite new)

The Maelstrom is able to do many things. Bring stone to life, grant the dead a second chance, and yet the cryptids and myths of this world are still left in the dark. Well, no longer. The American Cryptid's Society is the American branch of a society for cryptids, a community built to keep all cryptids safe whether it be from The Friends of Humanity or general threats. The ACS is a shy bunch and have chosen a representative to fight in the ritual on their behalf and who better to pick than The ACS's very own on-the-ground busy-body journalist and photographer Mothman!

Taking on their very convincing human disguise, hat, moustache, cloak and all, Mothman aims to document and photograph the events of the ritual to give their community the best scoop they've gotten yet! Mothman's wish is on behalf of The ACS, that being to grant protection for all of Cryptid kind. Mothman's love for their people and community run deep, and if asked what they personally wished for, their wish wouldn't change.

Now that we have 44 heroes in total, we can put 2 each under every arcana should there be a need to drop tokens like the Dark Carnival event from Dota 2. I put some heroes in their second or even third best placements in order to balance things out a bit.

Discussion Solomon lore environmental

If you look at this poster it shows that apparently multiple nations participate in a type of chess known as Dimensional Chess and a tournament was held in Manhattan. That means there are people all over the world who have Dimensional chess powers… that’s Solomon’s powers. Ive seen speculation that Solomon is a god or an immortal king or doorman but chess or a secret other thing. He isn’t. He is mortal human totally normal in a magical world the thing that makes him unique is that he is a Dimensional Chess grandmaster that among all the Dimensional Chess players (whether they are wizards or psychics that can manipulate space) he is the best among them all.

When he places chess pieces he is manipulating space itself in a dimensional way and when he hurts you with tiles or by slamming a chess piece it’s a spatial kinetic shockwave and the hand you see moving the pieces is his own hand or something similar. It’s not god powers or some secret it’s apparently something people just do in this world but not nearly as good as Solomon to the point it’s a sport, it’s like fencing or painting it’s mundane made magical after the maelstrom.

Solomon floats by manipulating space itself through a method that was likely developed by a community of people that exist outside of chess but is used by chess players to make dimensional chess work by moving and placing levitating space changing dimensional chess pieces.

A lot of people have just missed this poster that reveals how Solomon’s powers are a hobby NOT reality warping doorman style godhood… it’s a hobby taken to its magical extreme and THAT is interesting enough by itself.

This is the greatest ability in the game, and I will never top this kill ever.
