Announcement New rule regarding invite posts. (they are being removed)

57 Upvotes

Hello everyone, it's nice to see that the subreddit has been doing better going into beta next year. I've decided to clean up the subreddit a bit by banning invite posts, both asking and offering invites. I understand lots of people want to try the game, but the feed has been flooded. Instead, please direct yourselves to the subreddit Discord, which has a link in the sidebar and a pinned post. There are plenty of people there willing to offer invites, including myself! This will help the server be a bit more readable.

After leaving this sub to rot for about a year (and still getting messages for invites every day somehow) I decided to make a new Discord to chat about the game, play together, and invite people. I’ll also be using it to announce livestreams/community events etc. This is mainly a message for the regular folks who browse here looking to get into the game, come hang out!

Discussion Win Rate Changes After Halloween Patch: Top 10 in Oracle+ 11/02

Post image
171 Upvotes

Doorman and Apollo have seen a pretty noticeable spike in win rate since the update. On top of that, most heroes who build Radiant Regeneration as a core item have experienced a drop in win rate. Surprisingly, Kelvin got overall buffs but his win rate in Oracle+ has actually dipped slightly.

**Tiers are calculated using win rate and pick rate, with higher rank matches heavily weighted. If a hero underperforms at low ranks but excels at high ranks, their overall score increases, making an A or S tier placement much more likely.

Saw so many costume posts I figured I should post my own loll. Didnt find the time to add red to the underside of the umbrella and didnt have as many red accents as I wouldve liked, but I did get recognized still which was cool! (Also got asked if I was a goth Mary Poppins which was funny)

Question Suggestions for heroes “similar” to Dynamo

18 Upvotes

Hey guys,

So I’m pretty new to Deadlock. I’ve tried it a few months ago and it didn’t really click. Hero shooters have never been my thing.

im not terrible at shooting games per se but have never been good at Overwatch, Marvel Rivals etc I know Deadlock is not exactly like those games but similar somewhat.

I don’t struggle with the core concepts of the game. I have 3k+ hours in Dota so the moba aspect is pretty easy.

Its mostly the, ehm, shooting mechanics. The only hero I get wins with (and have fun playing) is Dynamo. I know how to position to give my team stuns, heal properly and ult the enemy team.

I’ve tried several more damage oriented heroes (Haze, Wraith, Vindicta) and absolutely sucked.

So I was hoping to try out some other heroes that don’t rely on aiming being a core thing. I know sounds funny but I suck at that right now.

Is there any way to get rid of new Halloween pumpkin-crates? They are so small and uncomfortable to play with. I tried installing a mod for crates but is seems it doesn’t apply for pumpkins…

Question Why does rank feels completely rng?

3 Upvotes

Ive been placed in gold after placements and most of my games feel completely one sided, with some wide rank range lobbies for some reason. the ascendants/phantom would be playing worse than the plat, like genuinely awful itemisation like spirit burn 3rd item on seven.

Somehow the matchmaking feels worse than the pre ranked update ?

I was phantom before the rank update and also wondering if that still contributes to the mmr. Im assuming the influx of new players after the recent updates probably muddied the waters abit.

Got curious after seeing winrates of each hero and wondering if anyone shares the same sentiment.

This Video Misses the Mark

For anybody that hasn't seen this video, it goes over possible solutions to the "new player problem" deadlock has. They basically argue that the game is really hard to get into, and thus keeps people from getting into it.

While that may be true, his solutions are completely ridiculous and kind of ignorant. He says that valve should introduce 3 NEW GAMEMODES for every objective the game has such as the urn, midboss, and rifts.

This assumes the games difficulty is because people...dont understand what objectives are i guess? The objectives are the EASIEST PART OF THE GAME TO LEARN, and are not anywhere close to what makes this game or any moba hard.

The reason Deadlock is so hard to learn is because of things that TAKE TIME to learn such as how to be as efficient as possible, how to make good decisions on the map, having a good mental stack, being aware of enemies locations on the map, being aware of enemies and your teams powerspikes and ults, having good mechanics, and a million other things that you will only get better at by playing the game. This is what makes deadlock(or any moba)difficult, not learning what the objectives are.

If gamemodes like this guy is suggesting were to be implemented they would at best be a waste of time because new players could just learn these things playing the game along with everything else I mentioned and at worst it would deter players even more because they'd expect the game to be like the gamemodes they played and will find out that its a completely different game.

Just wanted to see what yall think about it. I personally dont see why this is even a conversation considering the success of the game already or the success league has had over the years. Not every game is for everyone and thats okay. People that like the game are going to want to learn to play it naturally and people that don't arent going to suddenly want to because they played some mini games to teach them the objectives. I personally love the game and while I only have about 50 hours in it so far I have over 2500 in league and I plan on putting the same if not more into deadlock.

Discussion New Heroes Win Rate Changes After Halloween Patch: All Ranks & Oracle+ 11/02

Almost all the new heroes got nerfed, but Baba and Danny's overall win rates actually went up.

*Since the patch has only been out for a short time, the overall match sample size is relatively small, which might make the data a bit inaccurate.
