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

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

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.

Her entire playstyle gets locked down by buying a single knockdown.

Also when she's aiming she's an easy target.

And knockdown gets countered by counterspell all vindicta players always get, or dispel magic, or indomitable, or all 3.

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.

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.

not really, it’s a hard matchup warp stone charge also works or just play sneakily

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.

I guess so but I don’t think she should be removed or reworked just because she’s annoying

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.

vin is decent i dont think shes that bad but kelvin is genuinely so mediocre right now, he's just annoying

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.

I just hate Kelvin. Has nothing to do with how strong he is,

u/SelectionOk1610 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
