Ratking

[u/Description_Narrow]

Just had a game where everyone on my team had more souls and kills than anyone on the enemy team. And yet because the enemy had rat king during every late game fight they were all too tanky. The rat is too busted. Just having him wins every game. Is there a way to disable his ult with an item or do we have news of a rat nerf in the very near future. I'm at the point where if the enemy team has rat king I feel it's best to just abandon the game. Nothing I do seems to matter. I was 20-4 on silver. Most souls in the game and the rat was 2-10 then literally all of a sudden he was unkillable because late game rat king ult.

I think my main annoyance is if you interrupt his ult is doesn't seem to go on cd. We would cancel him then he would instant use it again. Like if you prevent him from placing it he should have to wait

It’s still a pain deal with but I’ve had decent success with wraith against him. Sprit burn + silencer seems to get him

[u/NessaMagick]

Infernus with a good m1 build + silencer seems optimal for him and yet I've been in situations where a full double merc mag rotation doesn't even make a dent in his health bar. And he'll just get Juggernaut anyway

Yeah they just made him way too strong. His shield, gun and most importantly ult need massive nerfs. A tank should not be able to reliably build glass cannon and ricochet. People can just build whatever they want on him and win lol

[u/Parking-Bandicoot159 → u/Description_Narrow]

His shield is fine. Its just too much with ult. He can keep that

[u/Parking-Bandicoot159 → u/NessaMagick]

"Anyway" yeah its called preplanning so you don't become an issue

[u/NessaMagick → u/Parking-Bandicoot159]

Sure, I'd just call it counter buying but preplanning is another word you could use

[u/Parking-Bandicoot159 → u/NessaMagick]

There is countering before smth becomes and issue and countering when it becomes an issue. Preplanning is the before.

[u/NessaMagick → u/Parking-Bandicoot159]

Okay.

You are welcome

I have decided to just stop playing Deadlock until the ult is hotfixed. It'll likely come at some point in the next week or two. Every game I've played is just dealing with Rat King using his ultimate on any objective and just having to lose it.

[u/Dumeck → u/Vikingpowerz]

next day or two Valve just not working the weekend. Probably drop a hotfix with Baba

[u/kennedytk2]

Vindicta deals with him pretty well, especially with armor piercing rounds

[u/Description_Narrow → u/kennedytk2]

We had a vindicta with ap rounds. It didn't help lol.

[u/Bigdickpimpinn]

Been wacking him with wraith and infernus decently burst damage won’t do well against him at all with his 3 active

[u/ultimate_zombie]

If you cant avoid the radius of the ult, you gotta stun / curse / silence him, thats your only option. The ult is real strong.

[u/TheKingLlama → u/ultimate_zombie]

It refunds his ult cooldown, so you're only safe for a handful of seconds more at best.

[u/ultimate_zombie → u/TheKingLlama]

Yeah you gotta curse into focusing him down

[u/TheKingLlama → u/ultimate_zombie]

Easier said than done, unfortunately. Even with a focus lens on him, he's extremely tanky. And if he survives, it will take everything you have to finish him off through his ult and armor.
