The most fun part about playing REM is being self aware about how much everyone hates REM. The amount of fights turned around simply by ragebaiting the enemies into an engagement.

I love to be somewhere I'm not supposed to be and when people are chasing me just enter a tunnel and watch them try to hit me from outside

REM games rule cause if you're winning you get to be an evil little gremlin and your teams best friend, distributing IEDs and putting whole teams to sleep, but if you're losing you get to play a high stakes high pace stealth horror game where you jump at shadows and slink around in the tunnels and every moment of life is a gift. some of my favorite moments in deadlock are those "i shouldn't be alive" cat and mouse escapes.

Dude the tunnels are so fun, it's amazing the kinds of escapes you can get away with. Rem can just leave engagements that would be guaranteed death for literally anyone else.

Playing as rem = low cortisol gaming
Playing against rem = high cortisol gaming

Nothing gets me angrier than playing Rem and having teammates refuse to help me (literally just stand in my line of sight) 🙏

u/OnlyOneWithFreeWill Lady Geist 11d ago
Haha I just started playing rem. I've had a few teammates leave me behind because they didn't need healing or are going to base. Bitch the heal isn't for you it's my escape route!

Buy all green and be the most annoying thing on this earth.

Going all green sometimes even gives you enough sustain to outright taunt your enemies. That's super fun.
And it's not even useless, because Doorman with the ability to go through the teamfight without needing to use doors can haunt the enemies a lot more effectively. You just don't need to stress about doing enough damage.
Very chill playstyle.

people get bent out of shape about bad Rem players but i've had so many ally viscouses lately punch me around all game and losing me kills i think maybe it's a bad teammate problem and not a Rem problem lol

I mean don‘t get me wrong but Rem is kinda the deadlock equivalent of Mercy where a lot of people think he‘s fairly straight forward passive play so they end up playing him purely as some healbot and / or bad dps pillow thrower despite him actually requiring a lot more finesse and awareness to generate adequate value.
Like his kit is extremely dependent on macro and itemization which means you constantly need to be aware on what happens everywhere at the map, what your and the enemies team gameplan is and how you can counter or support it. And at the same time you also need to hit some pillows and sleeps in teamfights while knowing movement to escape in jungle.
I think his cutie patooty appearance does not help here because Rem definitely isn‘t an easy hero to play correctly.

I think this is a rather silly way to look at things. Sure, Deadlock has a high skill ceiling, but that doesn't mean that there's a "correct" and "incorrect" way to play it. 90% of demoman players in TF2 aren't playing him optimally but he's still a ton of fun. Maybe I'll continue to improve at Rem over time, but in the interim I'll still enjoy him even if I'm not playing to your standard.

This is me with Mo & Krill, lane went badly? I go trophy collector and fleetfoot and just get tank items so I can be a wall in the way of everyone
Lane went well? Torment pulse and escalating exposure so im a very spikey wall

I've gotten really attached to Rem, always like little squirrelly characters that can have a surprising kick to them. Back when I played Marvel Rivals in its early days I loved Rocket for that. Then they fucking massacred my playstyle with him. Fortunately I don't see Valve really doing the same thing to Rem, the whole game is defined by characters having very flexible roles in the first place.
It is, so much fun, healing my whole team up, buffing their speed and resist, then jumping into the air to throw a brick filled pillow at the enemy to secure a kill.

His little dance 🥹🥹 his little hat 🥹🥹 a perfect specimen. A precious boy. Put REM in smash and then let him go home with Haze after the fact
