I got banned from the offical trooncord cause I forgot in my bio I had "all troons are groomers" and I made the fatal mistake of attempting to casually talk to some other random about the game before a janny had a powertripping moment. Many such cases.
 
Uh guys I kind of don’t want to solo-q and end up in some weird erp circlejerk.
 
Kind of surprised the next one wasn't Silver. I've seen way more posters of Silver than Graves.

There seems to be this weird bug that I'm running into where "high" Oracle/low Phantom games are somehow worse in quality than Initiate games. I will continue to document this bug until moral improves.

On a unrelated note, I'm becoming increasingly disappointed with the new character designs in the game. Most of the new ones are genuinely BAD. Graves is such a boring character to look at it, she's just a basic emo girl designed by some Tumblr artist. Celeste looks horrible and doesn't fit into the game at all, too colorful and she straight up looks like a K-pop demon hunters character. Silver looked great at first until I saw that it was just furry bait for transbian weirdos who probably have diaper fetishes. Venator looks fine, but he just looks like The Punisher, kinda uninspired. Apollo is overly twinkish, I also hate his royalty aesthetic but he somewhat fits in compared to the others.

I kind of agree, and i am hoping this is just because they had to make new concepts for characters after they scrapped away a bunch of them with the death of the experimental queue. I disagree that Celeste doesnt fit in the game because she is a circus performer, obviously she would be colorful.

Graves reminds me a lot of Paige: Bland designs that feels like they were made to cash in with the weeb crowd in the lames way possible. Graves is literally just a theater kid with a zombie thing going on, and from the interactions she has with others there is nothing about her that is interesting, unlike all the other characters.

The six-heroes update with Billy, Victor, etc were pretty good designs. Except maybe Doorman, kind of whatever.

I don't think Doorman is a bad design at all, if anything he is the most striking design to come out of that wave of heroes. The worst is Paige, which is not only a lame gameplay addition to the game by being the first completely support-bitch character of the game, but also has nothing interesting going on for her at all. A nerd that likes books and got powers from them? That is some of the most generic shit i've seen in a long time.

At least from some of the leaks going on it seems like she is a complete degenerate from reading smut all the time, which at least feels more interesting that what we had before.

I do hope these are all just quirks that will be hammered out by the time all of the base roster comes out tho, i haven't lost hope yet since valve is clearly trying something special with deadlock.

Edit: Oh and also, total zigger death, even south americans aren't as bad, since they at least enjoy a modicum of honest competition and cooperation. It really is no wonder the eastern european is always ready to kill each other for useless patches of dead land.

Does graves have a secret area somewhere in the hideout similar to Rem's bedroom?

When I first heard about Deadlock I thought it was a Noir-themed game with all the law enforcement/vigilante/crime/high society characters, and that was cool. Now there's 2 literal children (3 if you count whatever the hell Rem is supposed to be, all from the new update) and I realise that art direction probably only existed in the original concept of the game

Good God if they want 60-ish characters before full release and they're already pulling out the uninspired gacha designs the future looks grim
 
Graves is incredibly easy to play and somehow these retards are fucking it up
 
i am baffled that they'd add a tether primary fire to a character, especially when graves literally steals ad from enemies it really feels like an oversight, theming wise it makes sense but i cant believe they'd give her something that annoying
 
I'm back in the Deadlock again, and life sucks.

Graves is the most miserable hero to fight, somehow worse than Mirage. Every single one of her ults is a nightmare and essentially become the "I win" button. At least with Victor his "I win" button can be managed with team effort. The skulls and the suicide bomber tf2 skeletons just sneak up on you, and often kill people before they can react.

I think they released it a bit overtuned to balance it later, since having a tracking weapon can easily be complete ass with how fast the movement is in the game. I do think they need to at least nerf how easily she can last hit given how strong the snapping is to the souls. I haven't played a game where she felt too oppressive since all of her stuff is easily countered, with the exception of the ult.

(But since i play viscous i might be biased, since level 3 goo punch kills it easily)

It's muh "closed" alpha the developers don't have to put effort into making the game fun or fair yet (ev&oe there's 25k-100k concurrent players) mmkay? No they're not lazy they just have to "collect data" by raping the balance every so often. They have more important things to do, just don't ask what they are. What? You don't like the current character matchmaking system? You think it's niggerlicious and should be replaced with the draft system every other MOBA or hero shooters use, to facilitate actual team compositions? Those tried-and-true systems suck actually, because they just do and out heccin wholesome trans-ally Yoshi and friends couldn't possibly be lazy. Just wait until Current Year + 2 for "full release" chud, you shouldn't expect these things from a small """closed""" alpha
 
The one Graves match I played I just built ricochet and attackspeed and holy shit that's broken. You can practically walk through a wave to evaporate it and generate at least one piss jar. Incredibly boring character imo but it's fun to steal her ult as Sinclair. On the other hand I'm kind of enjoying fighting her in Talon matches because he counters her so well (the free splitshot on flight clears the skulls wonderfully) and can reliably explode her with 3 arrows midgame.

If you are like me, you can be in Phantom and derank back to alchemist due to not playing for 3 months. Then you can enjoy games where the balance decides you are the carry, so you can drop 20 kills a game and still lose due to the fact that your team can't do anything at all. Then you are trapped in low ranks where you have 75% kill participation and still lose in 45 minutes. Fun games.
