He will regenerate his arm later.

First of all, I'm a deadlock player for almost 300 hours and have 208 wins. I'm a bebop and Seven main and sometimes get Abrams in ranked bc he's in roster.

This matchmaking update seemed awesome at first and that 8 calibration matches went pretty well and I started off as an Initiative 5. I was happy that I will finally play with people who actually knows how to play the game and have fairer matches. I've never been so wrong in my life. I played many ranked matches and fell from Initiative 5 to Initiative 3. I feel like game wants to punish me for every win I get. Whenever I win I match I lose 5 or more matches in a row. And I lose not bc I die lot or I don't play good, no we lose bc there are always at least 2 ppl who keeps dying and feeding enemies. Here are my last 3 ranked matches as examples:

1. Our team had a Mcginnis who died only ONCE in the entire 50 minute game. We lost all 3 guardians at the first 10 or so minutes and he said "This game is unwinnable. I'll go afk so gg" and just left. He didn't even bother to return and check the game he just stood in the base and did nothing. Deadlock really needs a banning system for afk players. We were doing our best by clearing waves of minions, taking rifts and even putting down walkers. But that idiot never returned and I left the match before we lost so it wouldn't affect others in my team bc they did their best.

2. I was playing Bebop this time and things started to go really bad so quickly. In only 12 minutes, enemy Lash had a 13 killstreak or something. I checked the k/d/a's and saw that our yamato was 0/15 in the first 12 minutes. Not only him venator and warden were also dying randomly. I killed Lash after a weirdly terrible 1v4 and game got even worse. Those 3 ppl, warden, yamato and venator, just kept dying over and over again and fed the enemies more and more. We lost the game bc 3 ppl on our team couldn't do anything except making the enemy team stronger.

3. This match was much quicker than others so torture ended fast. I was playing Seven and we started really good. I was 2/0/4 and graves was 4/0/2 in the first 10 minutes. We were pushing haze and vindicta so good. But apparently rest of the team didn't wanna win. Dynamo couldn't heal anyone on time, graves was jumping from lane to lane and not really helping anyone, enemy bebop was getting fed by our celeste and shiv and overall, team was garbage. And they almost blame me for not farming enough. I had 32k souls in the first 30 minutes into the game more than most of the players in the entire match but I was the problem to them for not farming enough. Whenever I tried to farm, my team forgot there were 3 walkers they needed to protect andwe lost all walkers one by one. They were telling me to farm but they kept dying whenever I didnt help them. In times I tried to farm and no walker went down, entire enemy team hunted me. I had to deal with 1v4's again and again, not bc I went too far away from the base and tried to push lanes on my own BUT BC MY TEAM HAD NO IDEA WHY WE SHOULD STICK TOGETHER. After the game I looked at our k/d/a's and celeste was 0/9 and shiv was 2/8.

These are only 3 examples from many matches.

Overall, I think this matchmaking update didn't fix anything. In fact, I started to lose more and more games. Burst damage and bullet heroes become unstoppable after a killstreak, I've never seen enemy teams getting idiots who sell their game and only my teams get them and I really don't understand how everytime enemy team is well coordinated and hard working and my team is filled with people that make me question if this win count limit thingy is actually working. And if I somehow win a match it's never an easy game but always a tiring and long game that lasts for at least 50 minutes.

Just what exactly is graves core items? What's her core items for a gun and spirit build and how should they be played exactly.

so why is it that these guys are fighting each other on two separate patrons side? why do they not all join one patrons side to guarantee a wish for everyone? idk i’m not versed in deadlock wish lore? but like is there a specific reason for it? does the ritual require each patron to have people or?

just feels like it would make more sense for each hero to all band together for one of the patrons.

nothing against the lash specifically. it's just that in that particular match, the person playing lash was way better than everyone else in the lobby, and because i cannot take my revenge in game, i shall do it through art

I had an ally Dynamo who had some great saves with his Quantum Entanglement, but also had a few that disrupted my ult as Rem. He'd either pull me too far back so that I couldn't reach the enemies anymore or would blink me out of existence right as the ult was supposed to take effect, which apparently negates it entirely.

It seems to happen pretty instantly so I'm guessing the answer is no, but hot damn. that was not fun to experience when I finally had their damn Celeste in my sights...

I know this will be unpopular and I understand ban timings need to remain harsh in this game, but I recently had hardware problems after coming back from a vacation (some bullshit with my RAM slots) and the first 2-hour ban I just took the L cus fixing my PC took priority and I made sure to test it E33 first, but the second DC ban being 6 hours for Standard just kinda sucks.

And this was after a couple games I completed perfectly fine in between thinking my PC was good, but it just ramps up so damn quickly I wish it was tweaked just a tiny bit.

Anyways, back to Expedition 33 tonight. I think I’m about to hit Act 3 lfg.

Hello everyone!
I've been loving playing Deadlock so much I was inspired to try to do some art for it! Here is a WIP where I'm remaking one of the rooms in the Baroness hotel to better match a reception :D I haven't done environment art, but this has been so much fun so far!
I'm hoping I can finish it before the next big update lmao

Hey, i played Deadlock about a year ago but didnt have anyone to play with but i do want to get back into it but not sure who to play/start with. In overwatch i main Genji/Soj and in destiny i main hunter if thats anything to go by! i'd love advice, thank you!!

Well i played finally vs good celeste and i think permanent uptime shield not supposed to be character feature.

Its cool then you can build character to spirit tank, but not then that tank fly, throw balls with lightning scroll and stack spirit burn.

I guess ts just not like character suppose to be played and its just out of character personality.

Literally now calico is more celeste like then herself.

Brawler like gameplay was her release problem, and now its returned.

At this point i suggest make power shift, decrease heavily shield scaling, its should be defence debuff, not offence fucking plasma shied, its suppose punish for mindless aoe spamming, not for holding firepower of venator class spaceship main cannons.

Finally do something with lane phase.

That power shift to late killed her unique feature of hawing peak power in mid with not best but solid late.

Also i have stupid but fun idea for make damage bonus unique per target, applied by m1 after hit of radiant daggers but with higher limits or without them, so in theory its should create interesting feature there if you dance with the dead longer you recieve better reward, so its give huge widow for outplay but huge widow to fail it.

I guess better will be change debuff to something like doorman bell accuracy debuff because its literally dazzling trick not silence fart.

I fucking like horse not because she temy victor but because her movement flow which reminds me of quake 3, i see her like mobile glass cannon type character which ability to temporally desrupt, not fucking hold tank shells.

Overall i think this is not how that character should work and that ball ultimate should be changed to something more predictable both for celeste player and her opponent.

Overall i even not wanted play her anymore because she probably will be just mindkessly nerfed like silver in future without making chsracter more unique and give character more story realisation via gameplay

I posted this guy on the forums hoping it gets some glances but I want your guys opinion. I posted about this guy on here originally named Måtthew like a week ago but took it down to polish him up more what fo you guys think about MOTHMAN though?

Confuse, Cryptid, Wtf?

I had said in a reply to my post that I would imagine he'd interact with Abrams, Celeste, Rem, Doorman, Haze and Lady Geist.

I muted everyone in a game so that I could focus. It occurred to me that that mute may persist into future games, and from researching, yes it does. But it seems like there's no way to UN-mute people outside of an ongoing game.

So, is there a way to be able to mute everyone (text+voice) but have it be temporary? I realize this is a niche use. Perhaps someone else shares this interest?

EDIT:

I specifically want a bind I can use for toggling the mute. You can check/uncheck in settings>communication for voice/text. But I want to be able to have a binding

I just started playing this game recently, have maybe around 30 hours now and god does everyone hate new players man. every other game has been just straight insults at me (especially the first 10 hours of playing) or some other new player because they’re unable to get wins to unlock characters for ranked. is everyone just unhappy playing this game? i want to have fun but it is a little hard when someone is just calling you or some other new player the r slur the entire game. i got a friend to play with me the other day and the very first online game he just started getting called slurs within the first three minutes of the game. i’m just ranting and shouting into the void, i enjoy the gameplay and its my first experience with a moba, i just wish people were nicer 😕

there's a short video of it. I am stuck in low prio queue since yesterday and lost 9 matches in a row. mostly to shady comps but this dude was outstandingly fishy

Just had a mo go afk until 1:50, I was on Mina, against me a Celeste and a Talon, they realise he was afk and killed him quickly, then dived me hard, I died.

So I went again, playing super passively this time, waiting for mo, but he came just before minute 2, they were 2k ahead of us at minute 4, they unlocked ult waaaayy before us, but its fine, they just take tower and now we try to play.

They hard push my Walker, I ping it for the mo but he just leaves, allowing them to farm me even more, and for the first time EVER in any game, I just type I'm afking, there is no point, talon has 3 stacks before minute 6, lash asks me to just play, and he comes to help me, so yk what I continue, then my team refuses to play the game, talon solo invades our doubles and kills me after I ping him so many times.

Rift comes up, instead of fighting it they just go farm, and then I just sit in spawn for a bit trying to talk vc, no one responds so i just sit, I get dc'ed but then I come back and for some reason the game acts like I abandoned, I KNOW I sat in spawn but easily less than a minute, idk, I know I'm not in the right here, but this is just so frustrating.

Hey, does anyone know how to record working demos in private matches like Explore NYC or Sandbox? In most Source games you can type "record demoname" in console and it records until you type stop. That works in Deadlock too, but when you try to play the demo back it just sits frozen, unlike replays from actual online matches. Anyone found a way around this?

Theory crafting as I’m bored at work:

What if, and here me out you played Mina and built around pure escapability. The goal being to kite as many opponents for long as possible to delay their farm and steal their camps when you can.

No damage, no utility, nothing but dodging and weaving. Echo shard on sanguine retreat. Cultist sacrifice to steal a big one + for extra range and health. Superior stamina and speed. Dispel magic and counter spell.

I picked Mina as not only does she have great escape potential but has a innate fuck you button regardless of items when you max it and if you’re solely focused on perma firing and kiting you’d actually be getting an insane amount of bat stacks.

Starting off you bully lane still. But past 7-10 minutes after initial flanks are done and helping take guardians you just tell your team under no circumstances to come save you as you should be able to get out of anything.

Could also go more utility items since you’re building duration to keep the window inbetween sanguine retreat larger. Stuff like decay or disarming hex depending on the situation and rescue beam of course. After you’re confident you won’t feed.

I just like play for imaginary points on a video game with a 5 stack of people that i know and love, please, we where playing the game everyday for like 4 months until the ranked changes.

Sevens ball build is genuinely so good if you prioritize farming!! No knockdown, no counterspell, add some slow. Just genuinely amazing!!! My boy is the GOAT. 🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤

by me, made in a VRChat painting world

Weird glitch that makes her appear to twerk a little while reloading + croouch walking, lol

if you're pushing late game, remember to push all lanes, or I get to do stuff like this
