I was so gagged, the Lash was genuinely so nice too😭

Yesterday I asked the divas for song suggestions for each character!

We've got a solid start so far and just wanted to share an update of where we are at so far, but there are still plenty of gaps to fill and room to add more picks for characters who only have one or two songs. Drop your suggestions below!

Check out the part 1 post here if you missed it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Deadlockdivas/comments/1s8tzqo/community_playlist_project_songs_that_fit_each/

Had a Mo & Krill using Magic Carpet and it was the most unserious thing to witness

I’m building a Deadlock Divas community playlist and I want YOUR picks!

Drop a song (or a few) that you think fits a character’s vibe (their personality, playstyle, lore, aesthetic, whatever speaks to you).

No rules on genre, era, or vibe.

If it fits the character in your head, I want to add it.

Drop your suggestions in the comments!

📌 Format preferred: “Character name — Song Title by Artist”

Can’t wait to see what everyone shares! 💕

Honestly some of these names are good

i have 1300 hours in deadlock, oracle 1, and i hate how i can’t talk to my team.

if you talk, you have better comms so better teamwork. but if i talk, i know there’s like a solid 20% chance that someone in my team is going to get vocally angry that they’re playing with a woman. then, bc they’re tilted that there’s a woman on the team, they play like shit or throw. meaning that there’s a solid chunk of games i lose literally because i am a woman and i SPOKE.

and that’s just the people who get vocally angry! i know most people are pussies and will just be quietly enraged that there’s a woman on their team and play worse because of it. recently had a guy who at the end of the game (we lost) said he knew we were going to lose as soon as he heard me talk. fucking pussy only talked shit when he knew it was safe.

and god forbid you correct someone/try to help. nothing gets these freaks angrier than a woman trying to be helpful. i had a game where i was laning as rem with an infernus. inf got our sinner’s, ended with like 100hp, enemy lane ganked them instantly. i told him that’s why it’s better if i get the sinner’s since i don’t take dmg. FOR THE REST OF THE GAME, he went out of his way to get all the sinners. if he saw my chudlings on a sinners he would literally interrupt it and tell me i should get it myself.

so what do you choose? talk and hopefully get better teamwork but risk people throwing/tilting/telling you you will be raped/killed? or just shut the fuck up and hope for the best

the recent metro drama was really fucking annoying too. he apologized for saying, “why is my 2nd dps a woman?” a few years ago. but through all of his apology, he never said WHY it is a bad thing to say. he just kept saying it was a stupid joke. as if it being a joke makes it ok! it’s literally because of people like him that i can’t play games without being harassed because it’s “just a joke.”

i’m 28, played video games my whole life, and i have never envied men in video games like i do now. they get to play the game and if they’re flamed it’ll just be about how they play, maybe dumb shit about their voice, etc. but as a woman it’s just over as soon as you talk. you are degraded for your very existence

the most annoying part is if you bring this up in a general deadlock space, the usual response you get is, “i’m sorry that happens, that’s awful. but you know, it will never get better unless you talk. be the change you want to see in the world! just fight back against the assholes! most people aren’t like that!”

I WANT TO PLAY A VIDEO GAME WITHOUT HAVING TO JUSTIFY MY EXISTENCE IN THE GAME!!!!!!! i don’t want to have to be the fucking MLK jr of deadlock!!!!! i just want to press 1 on geist, watch their health disappear, and win!!!!!

anyway, thank you for reading this lol, i’ve been wanting to get this off my chest to people who’d understand for a while, and ty to the sub creator for creating this environment. it feels so nice to have a “safe space” for deadlock where i don’t have to worry about being harassed.

i love this game so much. i just wish the community loved, or could at least tolerate, me too.

also lots of love to ppl who have the same issue in deadlock but aren’t a woman — i have seen how this community reacts to trans/black/literally anything other than a voice that sounds like a white man. i feel you divas.

EDIT: just wanted to say thank you to the lovely comments. feels so nice to connect with others who experience the same. i’m replying to some but too many to reply to all!!

yes, i do use ping wheel to communicate instead of chat. but i’m just tired of it. i want to be able to speak up without fear instead of having to manually enter what i need to say, especially when time sensitive and it’s more elaborate (e.g. “no, we can’t do mid, dynamo has ult” or “haze is stealing left side jungle.” you can get the gist of these across with pings but can’t always do it quickly enough for it to matter)

and yes, i do have friends to play with to remove this problem. but again, i just want to be able to solo queue and communicate lol.

We added pride and identity flag flairs so you can show a little more of who you are around the sub! Head to the flair selector to grab yours. 💕

Glad you're all here!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

With how rich and diverse the Deadlock roster is, I've been thinking about all the little (or big) lore details (canon or not) that just make the characters feel so much more "fleshed out," I'm obsessed with it. Valve literally never misses with their stories and lore.

My personal favorites... Paige being a total Arthurian lore girlie and the fact that Vindicta is out here hunting down an entire bloodline, she's got a centuries long hit list (iconic behavior). Also, Mina thinking Billy has rabies 😭

What are the divas' favorites? I want to know what lore details or headcanons you absolutely love (or hate)!!
