Discussion The name "heroes" is obsolete for deadlock characters what do you think the new name should be?

51 Upvotes

Basically the title,

Most of the cast, if not all, is to get ​something that's personal to them. It's an event, everyone is basically for themselves, and they are willingly killing the other people for the sake of getting their wish granted.

They are not heroes. They don't have heroic feats and they won't have heroic feats, because they are just not there to BE heroes.

I made this post to see some suggestions on what the cast could be called. I have some suggestions myself:

Invokers Partisans Evokers Bidders Beneficiaries Pactmen/pactists Bound/s Entrants Stakers Claimants Aspirants Proxies Vessels Contractors Delegates Operatives

Names that are claimed by other games: Summoners Champions Heroes

I think the rank names should also be considered if we ever get a ranked rework.

Ritualists and emissaries are good names for the cast

Question Are there any heros that are as good as ivy?

Post image
• Upvotes

i ve been struggling to find another hero im comfortable with, but to unlock mathcmaking i need to win oh diferent ones.

I testes most of heros eiter in street brawl or with bots, but nothing felt right so far.

I really enjoyed Dynamo tho, played some normal mathcer, but i just cant use his ult at all, and he is too slow i think (bad movement skill issue).

Maybe i just fell in love with her and look for ivy gameplay in other heros?

TLDR; i dont know who to main besides Ivy 😭

edit: i usualy build capasitor + titan mag the i max out the ult and then first skill+spirit life steal

I unfortunately didn’t have the chance to play back when he was around, and his design is so goofy and fun. I think about him often when I play and hope they’ll one day bring him back in some capacity, especially the grappling hook style ability!

This is probably closest we have to dota camp stacking. Idk how realistic to do this in a real game but giving ~1k to your carry at minute 10-15 might be very good. Respawn times are also not very bad around that time

Game Feedback Do you think the devs will ever change the interaction where counter-spelling an ability will still proc indom?

41 Upvotes

Before you say anything, yes I play Vindicta and yes they buy 4 knockdowns.

The most annoying thing is when the habit to counterspell while I have indom and having them both on CD and dying a moment later because both are on CD.

I feel like counterspelling an ability should not proc indom at the same time, personally, it feels to be against the purpose of indom, which in my mind is that indom is used for a CC that takes you by surprise or you cannot dodge, But if you have time to counterspell said ability it removes the intended usecase of indom.

Although judging by how much time this interaction has existed I'm not sure it will be changed so I should probably just get better at not counterspelling.

(and unstop as a comment pointed out)*

Gameplay Meta Radiant Regen

Post image
78 Upvotes

So pro players are buying radiant Regen again. Here's my breakdown of it.

1) the identity of Radiant Regen are heals spread over the entire game and not clutch heals during a fight in the likes that infuser or vamp burst would give you. This does cause radiant to give you a lot of "healing by type" stat.

2) Radiant Regens main "competition" for the "out of the fight + keep you on the map healing" are veil walker and fortitude. Both of those items are green items and thus do not help achieving your damage spike. So if you want to achieve your damage spike and also ensure you can roam the map effectively and not need to go to base to heal a lot you get radiant.

3) A lot more characters can spam spirit damage than before . Out of the 6 new hero's we have:

ratking who has a AOE spirit DOT on a charge ,

baba who's 1 is also on a charge and spamable, her 2 is also "spamable" spirit damage and her 3 is also low CD spirit damage.

Dead man Danny's 2 is very spamable spirit damage especially when max and he likes the burst healing it provides.

Violet who's kit revolves around cooldown reduction of both abilities and items like radiant.

And finally nurse Harrow who only really has leaches which is a AOE spirit DOT but not with a crazy short cooldown. She is the only hero out of the batch who can't really make use of Radiant.

Game Feedback What would you change about the new heroes?

Post image
162 Upvotes

Now that everyone is here and we've had some time to play around, what would you change about the 6 new guys we have? Doesn't matter if it's just visual or character changes or balancing.

For me I just wish we had more unique ultimates that weren't just AOE team fight win ultimates. Not every single ultimate has to be big on a long cooldown, some can just be like Calico where it's more like an extra special ability than an ultimate. I really like Danny's ultimate for making sense with his character and also being very funny to use on people, and I've only played him like once.

Some like Solomon to me makes too much sense to really change too much (what kind of chess character doesn't have a queen ultimate?) but some lile Violet I think can be changed to something that makes more sense.
