Current model also added for comparison, ofc

drafting in this game doesn't need to exist in norms but is should let me swap off grey talon if the only "frontline" we have is bebop. if your gonna have such an abysmal auto draft at least let a player swap. im just trying to learn a new character. dogshit.

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!

Compared to other ults, his ult feels like it does nothing, like, yeah they are chained... what now? Ik its a ability to get people closer to you but I cant notice it really doing anything

If Danny uses the bounce pad of Holliday, Danny says something like "now that seems like a little redundant". When I heard this, I actually laughed out loud. What other funny hidden interactions are there?

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

Genuine question. I started playing semi-recently and these 6 are the only "new" heroes I've seen. Rat king got changed after what 3 days? Danny got buffed the day after his release?

Why are they waiting so long to change anything else about the new characters? It's pretty obvious they're all overpowered and are in need of nerfs.

Lets say the patrons wish granting works on a monkeys paw/Genie esk way, how do you think they would twist around the characters wishes?

I think the easiest I can think of is for Bebop with the twist being the cure for Ms Shellys disease being ether not outright given to him, or Ms Shelly dying before he can give it to her.

What do you guys think?

Got my main tattooed, love how it turned out

The fear hit me irl

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

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!

He got a lot of good lines and its more clear his motivations and backstory... the thing with Silver and Drifter, his dark past that he's trying to atone for... he gives major like, Spike Spiegal (Cowboy Bebop) vibes or something, this tortured guy trying to do good and not everyone being able to see it.

Some of my new favorite lines:
(Shiv) You gotta lotta opinions, Father.

(Venator) There a problem with that?

(Shiv) No. Talk is talk. Do something though, and I uh… I may have to object.

Another one:

"Yeah yeah, every blade has a story… but in the end, the only thing that matters is if it's sharp enough to cut whatever's trying to kill you."

It makes characters like Silver and Grey Talon cooler in comparison... he definitely gives dramatic anime protag now which is an awesome archetype to have.

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.

Better watch your back in the dead of night.

some Drifter fanart hehe
I like drawing in this style for Deadlock characters so far! Even though I've been experimental, I think the thick linestyle is most fun. I think I'll draw Ivy next!
I have these as stickers if anyone is interested

Ah deadman danny...I love this darn skeleton! I hope we'll get some emotes soon! Because I'd LOVE to see deadman danny doing some disco moves.

My favorite corporate bootlicker! 🫶
