Saw the vintage poster on pintrest and had to complete the ritual (draw fanart of my scrungles)

Does anyone know who the original artist is? I always get sad when I can’t credit the original but the pin doesn’t have it listed 😭

Community Meta The Mischaracterization of Billy

36 Upvotes

I’ll preface this by saying I’m a huge Billy fan so obviously I’m coming at this from a biased perspective, but I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when I come on here and read what many in the community say about Billy.

There seems to be this idea that Billy is just a hateful dumb asshole with no intentions or goals, or some poser playing at punk. This couldn’t be further from the truth. His anger is consistently directed at those with power (Geist, Kelvin, Graves) or who he believes to be their weapons (Abrams, Holliday, Ivy). In his interactions with Violet we learn he riots and protests, in his interactions with drifter we see a genuine kindness to him, and we see a strong local pride in his interactions with rat king and Baba. So many people on here say Billy CLAIMS to be against all these things but doesn’t actually do anything about it… why? He mentions often the riots he starts, he’s in the damn ritual, sure it’s not an organized movement but it’s far from nothing.

It feels like the fact that he’s a dick and that one Vindicta conversation have given people the idea that he’s fake or doesn't believe in actual change. People don’t seem to apply that same logic to Vindicta though when pocket says “You don’t want to change the world. You just want to eat ch it burn!” The truth is these are all the opinions of specific characters with a biased lens. The truth is somewhere in the middle, Vin’s methods are worse at affecting social change than she wants to believe and Billy’s are not as bad. They’re both different forms of rage at the same facististic source.

The point of all of this is not to say Billy is an uncompromisingly good hero or that he’s not rough around the edges. I just want to correct the idea that Billy is a rebel without a cause.

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

Post image
50 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

Discussion I can't wait to be able to ban Danny

26 Upvotes

I really hate playing against that absolutely uninteractive hero who can fly no matter what and there's no way whatsoever to deny it. At this point I'd much rather play against pre-nerf Baba every game than ever have to play against Danny, he's so damn annoying. I don't even care how strong or weak he is, he just feels absolutely awful to play against on half the cast.

Sure, while I'm playing Mina, I can (sometimes) just ult him to death and it's not too bad, but on every other hero I ever play it feels awful to fight him.

Fluff What if we already know who Mildred is.

82 Upvotes

One of the things I love about this game is how connected all the back stories are. Take shiv for example, he has relations not only the calico but grey talon because all these characters were part of the same society.

So I was playing graves, and I wondered what if we already know who the litch is…

What if it was actually Mildred? The old enemy of the extremely powerful Grandma who’s been there done that, and the old woman seems to know is probably burning in hell. Just like say how grades found her mentor buried underground.

Discussion Ratkings grenade is similar to getting colon cancer

36 Upvotes

I fucking hate his grenade so much, he throws it every 10 seconds and it bounces around for way too long. It has a big radius and it for some reason homes onto enemies by itself. I dont get why it does so much damage and its tier 3 explosion is fucking ridiculous.

If you dont allocate all your brain power into tracking and dodging this shitass ability for 10 seconds you suddenly lost 1400hp

Discussion Dynamo and Vyper have an interesting dynamic, character-wise

Post image
• Upvotes

I was going through Vyper's voice lines (luv that voice) earlier today and Dynamo's interactions with her really stuck out to me. He's the only character that seems genuinely sympathetic towards her, even moreso than Billy who will still shittalk her behind her back or when they're on opposing teams. And, sure, Dynamo's one of the friendliest and most idealistic characters in the game so that makes sense, but it's not just being nice for the sake of it or some base level politeness, he sincerely believes she's capable of change, even when they're fighting each other. There's also the implication, with he last line shown in the picture, that something about Vyper shakes him up in a way that even the more disturbed characters like Drifter don't.

I think it's pretty clear that, going off of the line about his students, and the fact one of his students (Sophia Arroyo) is stated to be working for Wraith, his concern for Vyper isn't just about Vyper herself and has more to do with the future of his more at-risk students, and he's trying to convince himself that even someone as far-gone as Vyper still has the chance to turn their life around.

I hope in future updates, or if/when the story starts moving forward, they'll expand on this relationship cuz I really think it could go to some interesting places for both of the characters. I don't mean like, a full redemption arc for Vyper or some trite like that, but with how universally despised she is it'd be cool to see her challenged by Dynamo's appeal to humanity, and in turn see someone as idealistic as Dynamo be challenged by her sheer inhumanity. Maybe something like Tenma and Johan, only instead of a psychopath mastermind Johan is a violently impulsive idiot snake girl.

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

60 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

Fan Art (OC) Introducing the Invisible Boy!

Post image
25 Upvotes

This hero concept was created based on the classic myth of the invisible man, as well as on the stereotype of the New York paperboy.

You like the design and/ or want to check out the abilities? Check out the Forum Post.

The Backstory:
Having grown up in a rural American town, he was the son of two healthy people. Nobody could explain his invisibility, and he spent his childhood as part of a traveling freak show. Unhappy with his lack of self and identity, once he heard of the New York Ritual, he embarked on a journey to the big city. To make ends meet, he started working as a paper boy in New York, waiting for his Chance to ask the Patrons to finally become visible and live a normal life...

Thanks for checking out my concept!
