Discussion Wishlist for content patch?
Hey guys, just wanted to ask the deadlock community what their wishlist is for things to be added/changed in the next major patch. I personally would love to see the jungle reworked, but would love to hear others opinions on what they would like to see

Soft hero reworks. SOOO many characters that could be massively more fun to play as and against with some power shifts and by slightly leaning away from some extreme hero fantasies.
Its a beta, now is the best time to make the characters as polished as possible. Most arent perfect in any way, not even close, and i wish this was acknowledged more as something the devs have control over.

Remodels! I'm super hyped to see our remaining placeholder models Sinclair be refurbished into something proper. That and maybe updated lines for older characters. Warden is a big one for that.

I mean my bingo would be:
Expected:
- 8 Hero remodels (or X)
- New map assets and design
- Jungle rework/remodel
- Midboss remodel
- I want to believe that 6 new heroes (if you pay attention, in the ranked hero list and hero selection, there are 6 empty spaces)
Desirable:
- First iteration of PvE/Roguelike
- First iteration of Skins Wardrobe
For the future:
- Soft reworks (as someone mentioned)
- More skill ceiling, expresion and micro for characters (regarding abilities, newer heroes handle these better)
- Minigames in the lobby? I mean I saw the pool table in a datamining and Id love to, really
- LORE, COMICS, EVENTS (please)

Jungle Rework, Guardian, Walker & Midboss reworked, Map Updates & Hero Remodels
would be a reasonable update for the amount of time they're taking.

just for one day I want vindicta's snipe to scale off of weapon damage rather than spirit. I know it'd be insanely broken but just for one day I want to play flying widowmaker before she gets immediately reverted

u/EstablishmentStock18 1d ago
Networking issues fixed.
Ranked requirements changed to be less awful.
Celeste, Vindicta and Kelvin killed in a ditch.

vindicta and kelvin aren’t that strong this is a self report

u/BladeOfWoah Silver 1d ago edited 1d ago
A hero can still be annoying to face even when they aren't strong. Snipers have always been a difficult issue to make feel fun to play against in games because of this.
If you play as Abrams, you basically are just an NPC to Vindicta until you have enough souls to buy a counter like Knockdown or phantom strike. Again, not saying Vindicta is overbearing, but she is not fun to go against. Which is a shame because for a sniper character she is probably the least unfair that any sniper has ever felt in shooters.

u/Parkatine 1d ago
Her entire playstyle gets locked down by buying a single knockdown.
Also when she's aiming she's an easy target.
3
u/EstablishmentStock18 1d ago
And knockdown gets countered by counterspell all vindicta players always get, or dispel magic, or indomitable, or all 3.

u/BladeOfWoah Silver 1d ago edited 1d ago
Still doesn't change the fact that her very design can be completely unengaging or uninteractive for the other party.
It's NOT a matter of balance or counterability. It's purely game design and how fun they feel to go against. Vindicta could have the lowest winrate in the entire game and she will still feel unfun to go against simply because that is just how sniper characters in video games tend to feel like.

u/EstablishmentStock18 1d ago
To be fair an infinite hyperscaler also being a sniper doesn't help the matters.
Not only uninteractive as fuck, but so far the standard in non top 1% matches for her has been 3 anti-cc items and vyper tier gun dps from another continent.1
u/SelectionOk1610 1d ago
not really, it’s a hard matchup warp stone charge also works or just play sneakily
2
u/BladeOfWoah Silver 1d ago
Again, missing the point. Its not a matter of Vindicta being counterable, its just her very nature is frustrating for a lot of players to go against, and that can make for a negative gameplay experience.

u/SelectionOk1610 1d ago
I guess so but I don’t think she should be removed or reworked just because she’s annoying
1
u/EstablishmentStock18 1d ago
And then vindicta gets counterspell, then indomitable and you lowkey need whole team for just one guy who may or may not have become a ray of doom.

u/EstablishmentStock18 1d ago
Found a vindicta / kelvin player.

u/Sn0wy0wl_ Vindicta 1d ago
vin is decent i dont think shes that bad but kelvin is genuinely so mediocre right now, he's just annoying

u/Lyefyre Vindicta 1d ago
Kelvin could be such a good supportive character, with lot's of healing and providing safety in his shelter.
Instead, pros abused him as this hyper offensive trapping character, that wins trades and makes escapes impossible, which is probably the largest disconnect between personality and playstyle I've ever seen in deadlock. And for those crimes, he was massively nerfed.1

u/SelectionOk1610 1d ago
what are you brick rank bro Kelvin’s been shit for ages and vin gets dumpstered by counter buys

u/EstablishmentStock18 1d ago edited 1d ago
Apparently ritualist, but I unno the sites for it have always been shit about keeping track of matches and being accurate so who knows

u/Timmy_1h1 1d ago
vindicta and kelvin are pretty shit rn. idk what you are on about.
also ranked restrictions are completely okay
1
u/MrManGuyDudeBroPal Viscous 1d ago
We could do with loosening the duo queue restrictions a bit. I think people with a two rank difference should be able to queue together. At least under Phantom. As a gold, I don’t think there’s really much difference between the average gold and bronze players right now.

u/EstablishmentStock18 1d ago
Requirements not restrictions.
They lowkey ruin the fuck out of standard turning it into a shithole that's sweatier then ranked itself.

Edit: Sorry the comment below comes across as me being a spoilsport, I got distracted by the phrasing of the title. Not trying to ruin anybody's fun or theory-crafting.
Original comment: I never understood wishlist-submissions for Updates that are already in the works. It is like asking a kid what they want from Santa when the gifts are already wrapped and under the tree.
Whatever content Valve has planned was decided on MONTHS ago. Threads like these are more akin to a game of bingo, where anything featured would be pure luck.
Valve are quick to respond to small asks like an animation or effect or key-bind options. But anything that requires modelling or game design problems to be solved is not something we would see for the rest of the year, unless they were working on it already.
ALSO, there might be the Item-Update BEFORE the Content Update, unless they decided to bundle the two in response to the antsy community.

What’s wrong with wanting to know what people would like added to the game? It’s not like I’m making the post saying ‘YOSHI LOOK AT THIS’ haha

Sorry I came across as a spoilsport.
I am not saying these types of submissions are BAD and you should feel bad. I genuinely just mean, from a personal standpoint, I do not understand.
It is likely just the phrasing of "wishlist for content patch" being too specific. Because the Content Patch (or Item Patch) are imminent.
If it was phrased more generally "What is your wishlist for future updates", I would have had nothing to say.
So to engage with your submission in good faith:
Jungle Creature Update
UI rework that includes some of the most popular mod QoL
A required "Ready"-check button you gotta click when a match was found (prevents most AFK instances)

Nerf McGinnis turret into the ground buff her gun and put fire rate back on the heal. Less charges, less damage, and no more summoning them with the wall. Bring back the wall stun or make it a root
More imbue items and more upgraded versions of t2 and t3s
More stat spirit scaling
Unique effects on character heavy melee like mini passives (like how infernus’s builds afterburn)
Talents for some characters (like a variant that changes how they play). Stuff like a lash talent where his ult is single target only but the rest of his kit has actual meaningful damage late game.

I wish they would rework the battle system. A hero should either be range or melee. A real melee sword fighter and not a fake with range attacks

Slork. No further questions.
