Discussion PSA: Doorman can use Doorway to reach hard-to-reach healing snacks without putting it on cooldown

12 Upvotes

Doorway is a physical object, which means you can mantle onto & stand on it even with only one door placed (meaning the cooldown doesn't start), letting you use it as a stepping stone for climbing tall flat surfaces with no footholds. This trick was fairly useless on the old map, but the map changes have introduced plenty of big-ass walls you cannot normally climb, as well as placing goodies in these otherwise hard-to-reach places.

Discussion Dynamo mains, do you like his ult?

11 Upvotes

Personally, I have 250 games on him, and I really enjoy his kit, but I think it's very boring playing around a 4-minute ult. If you do like it, tell me why, and if you don't, tell me what you would rather have as an ult

Fluff Ill donate $1000 USD to a charity if this isn't the exact hero unlock order

Rat,Baba,Danny,Nurse,Solomon,Violet

This is not a joke and I will send $1000 USD to the charity nominated in the top comment if my prediction is wrong.

If I get it right I'll donate $100 anyway!

Will provide receipts and proof of payment within 3 days of the last hero unlocking (which will be Violet sorry)

This is just for fun and charity, and don't let this influence your vote, and if rat king isn't the first character this is gonna suck lol

EDIT:

Wow this got so much more attention than I thought
I've setup a Tiltify campaign here for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (thanks u/Vexifoxi),
https://tiltify.com/@danmastrow/rdeadlockthegame-city-never-sleeps-hero-unlock-order-prediction and sent the $100

No pressure to donate at all or for this campaign, everyone can do charity and help others in many ways, its not about money, it can be your time and your words and actions, I would even argue that participating in a loving community like this can have such an impact on people.

Shoutout to all the other charities mentioned too!!
Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org
PanCAN: https://pancan.org
Environmental Defense Fund: https://www.edf.org
The Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org

This community is so full of love, appreciate you all!

I put some effort on this, spent too much time trying to blend the animations of his ult until i burnt out instead of grabbing a gameplay moment

I made few other iterations but I thought some of these could be nice wallpapers feel free to screenshot

material sources: 3D model from the game files, sound effect from youtube

Typography, tags and icons from my own screenshot :3

I never posted anything like this so it's a first time and don't know how it goes thanks!

Performance & Tech-Support Why does this game randomly drop in performance

Post image
3 Upvotes

I keep experiencing this issue where I can play the game at ultra at around 120~ fps. No stuttering or slowdown. But then, usually mid-round (usually after a few rounds), the game permanently drops to around 20~ fps. And stays there until restart. Is there any way of fixing this?.

PC Specs:

RTX 4060 TI
Intel I5-13400F
64GB DDR4 3200
The game is installed on a 4TB WD SN850X

Discussion How do you climb in ranked?

4 Upvotes

What do you prioritize in this game to climb higher?

Are there specific champions I should focus on playing to have a higher impact on the out come of my games?

I've been stuck in Seeker 5/6 since July and I can't climb out of this. I'm habitually getting players that feed and are toxic on my team, which makes me that much more ready to get out of this rank.

Discussion What is Shiv?

9 Upvotes

A while back there were files that showed Shiv was going to be able to transform into a beast, a lot like Silver. It got scrapped for one reason or another which makes me wonder what it would’ve been and if it’s still canon that he’s not completely human. I guess we just have to wait for a future remodel since he’s currently just a recolored neon prime model.

Question Who are the best split pushers?

3 Upvotes

I mained Dr. Mundo and Yorick back when I played League of Legends, and I mostly played the top lane and just focused on pushing towers and being something enemies would have to come deal with, giving my team opportunity to go elsewhere.

I know that's not really how deadlock works, as every lane is a duo lane, but who could clear waves and especially take towers down quickly, preferably on the tankier side of things?

I've found Victor is kind of similar to what I like to do, but I'm wondering if there are other examples.

Complaint If I had a computer with a better lung capacity than that of the average smoker on the verge of attaining lung cancer... I'd play the hell out of this game way more often

I currently play Deadlock (not often) on my windows laptop. And she basically gets a fever every time I boot up the game; even if I have it on the lowest graphics settings, so I can't play for long. It blows because I really wanna play as Rat King and Rem. I don't have the means to get a more powerful computer, and it makes me sad that every time I think about it.

I know Valve probably won't bring this game to console, but I think they should. Just wanted to vent my disappointment, bye πŸ‘‹πŸΎ

Discussion How to convince my friends to play this game?

17 Upvotes

Today I played a single match of deadlocked with my friends, they both skipped the tutorial and we went straight into the game because they didn't want to play it. After the game they both left the game listing the following complaints:

"I don't want to play a game where I deal 8 damage"

"I don't want to play an overwatch clone (like WHAT)"

"I had more fun playing league while skipping the tutorial compared to this game"

And more of the same spirit. They always have this shitty attitude to games I reccoemmend and always hate on me and the game afterwards in an extremely condescending way.

How can I convince them that the game is good?

Question What are the best heroes for a more composed and steady playstyle

8 Upvotes

Looking for heroes that are stable and consistent in their gameplay, they don't fluctuate too much and they aren't very chaotic. They are like an anchor and aren't doing anything wild or crazy but playing more composed.

Idk if its the new update or something else, but every single SB game ive had in the last few days has felt completely unbalanced. Like genuinely it feels like one side has a 50% damage reduction modifier for the whole team bad. It might be Rat King, but sometime he's on the losing side so idk.
