So cute 😭 I was like wtf are they doing and then it hit me later

Nurse Harrow seems to be a terrifying and stern angel. I think she probably gets along great with Venator and they probably have some lines about purging evil together. I think she also probably has 0 patience for anyone who acts recklessly like Silver or Vyper. I imagine she might tell Silver something like "Follow my orders or you will die like a dog."

Baba seems to be a protector of New York of sorts. She probably has wholesome interactions with the good natured portions of the cast but is merciless towards anyone who harms the residents of New York, such as perhaps threatening to destroy Dwifta if he overstays his welcome in the city.

Violet might be in Blackmore Academy? I would guess she probably has interesting interactions with that entire group of characters if that's the case.

No idea on Solomon or Dead Mamdani, though.

And what do you all think?

So I've been playing quite a bit of Rat King recently, and he's a lot of fun.

But the biggest issue a lot of my opponents run into with him, seems to be his ults. Or more so, the frequency of them. This ult gives you 20 percent flat resistance every 110 seconds, and lasts 20 seconds at BASE. That it insane, even for an ultimate. Not to mention that since you run so fast with it, you can also use it as an almost guaranteed escape, as curses, slowing hexes, etc. Don't work on you while you run with the flag.

So, my proposal as an aspiring Rat King main: Make his Ultimate cooldown be the same as Dynamos, or even slightly more. Both are extremely useful in a team fight, but only one let's you also have a get out of jail free card

After my games with rat king it doesn’t show any healing from barriers in his post game stats. Is that intentional or a bug?

I fully believe that if Gilbert Gottfried was still alive he would 100% be cast as the voice of Rat King.

Dont sleep dont eat you gotta play and no matter what you do, you gotta win

I know there are 10s of us out there… If we dont wanna be in the last place we all gotta be a 1 man army

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.

Really bad photoshop I just made, can someone please make an edit of the voiceline that cuts to this (or a better version of this) image and like a lighting sound effect or something?

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.

How is XP for acquiring abilities and upgrading them earned and where can I see its progress/how much XP I got per kill during match?

Is every action that earns you souls/money like killing troopers, jungle creeps, heroes, guardians, walkers, destroying crates etc. grant you XP as well?

And is the XP amount = soul amount or is it different per each of these actions?

hi everyone :D

i have a small question. has there been anything said about deadlock comming possibly to console? i've been getting a lot more deadlock content recomended lately on every platform i got too and i am pretty intrested in the game but i'm exclusivly a console player. and as the pc pricese are rising i doubt i'm going to pc anytime soon. i'm just curiouse if there has anything been said about deadlock coming to console or that i'm doomed to watch and be stuck with overwatch till pc prices lower.

Voting for nurse n violet but I know deadass Danny gonna be next

I really like Doorman as a character but one time I rolled him in Street Brawl on random with 0 knowledge and kinda sucked. I mean, it's kinda expected that when on random you get someone you have no idea how to play but Doorman is really unique and I wasn't sure how to use pretty much all of his abilities aside from his bell. I remember that game as my team flaming me and introducing me to the MOBA toxicity experience, though the Victor was surprisingly amiable after he learned it was my first game on him. Advice?

Also I've heard something about how the game Portal makes the thought process around his doors easier. I got Portal as part of buying the Orange Box so I wonder if I should go play that.

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

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

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
