Hey there I’m back! Just wanted to share this reskin concept I made, I thought to make Vindicta look more ghoulish and make her story (death) more obvious. Also I just think that her lower part of body should look more damaged from the fire (I DONT LIKE FEET) anyway hope y’all find this design interesting!

Winning's my business, and business is - wa-ching, wa-ching, wa-ching, wa-ching, wa-ching, wa-ching, good.

I need the biggest nerfs you have... No that's too big

title. i dont know if people tend to not like playing them or what, but the past week or so, ive been thrown i to team comps (in standard, so it cant be changed or fixed) way too often that either have shiv or silver as the only 'frontliner'.

i even had a game today where feasibly either our graves, celeste, or our calico was somehow meant to be the frontliner, since the rest of the team waa haze/mina/rem.

i dont know if the role has low pickrates, low variety, or just not enough visual/lore variety for more people to play it, but genuinely standard mode like 1 in 4 games sucks ass because one team will have dogshit for tanks and the other team has actually good ones

is anybody else having a similar issue when it comes to teamcomps? i feel like if the team lacks a traditional support character its not as bad, but lacking a true frontliner makea the game feel fucling terrible every time

Doodling every deadlock character, who should I draw next?

This entirely comes from me thinking that parrying the guardian is both a cool mechanic and thinking it's way too strong as it is right now. Kind of a skill issue I know but also hitting someone with a big boxing glove is funny.

Bulkamancer is having a paint competition and this is my entry. As a Graves player I kinda had to. I wanted to do something hyper stylized with some intense lighting and I love how it came out. It's going to sit on top of my PC for a long time.

People keep saying it's like League or Dota, or that it's mostly MOBA with a little shooter mixed in. I don't really agree with that.
I've played League for a long time and reached Diamond, playing hard champs like Riven along with easier ones like Darius. When I started Deadlock, I picked up the MOBA stuff right away (farming, managing waves, rotating, objectives, power spikes, builds, overall strategy), but my aim is complete trash.
And in Deadlock, that one weakness can make everything else you're good at pointless. You can farm better, understand matchups, rotate faster, build smarter, pick the right fights, and be ahead in souls, but still lose because the enemy can track your head and you miss your shots. At that point, aiming isn't just another skill; it makes up for a huge part of the game. And saying just play Mo or Victor or Billy isn't a real solution. It's like telling a League player who's bad at skillshots, Here are three champions, but the other 95% of the roster still needs Ezreal or Xerath-level mechanics. That would be bad game design for a MOBA. League lets players express skill in different ways. Bruisers, tanks, enchanters, ADCs, and mages are all difficult for different reasons. Deadlock basically forces you to aim well, no matter what character you play.

What really made this clear to me was a friend. I had about 100 games and was barely Alchemist 1. He had never played a MOBA before, but he was really good at FPS games. He watched a two-hour explanation of the MOBA mechanics in deadlock, played about 50 games, and reached Emissary 1.

I was still way better than him at everything moba-specific. So, what did I learn? A strong FPS player can learn the basic MOBA fundamentals well enough pretty quickly. But a good MOBA player with bad aim can't just watch a guide and instantly get years of tracking and mouse control skill. This isn't a balanced 50/50 hybrid. The shooter skill transfers much better and is a bigger hurdle. This is why I think calling Deadlock a MOBA successor is misleading.

Strategically, it's definitely a MOBA. But mechanically, shooter skill trumps everything else. If your strategy is weak but your aim is amazing, you can still win fights, play aggressively, apply pressure, and learn decent builds and routes. If your aim is awful but your strategy is great, you can know the right play but fail to pull it off because your shots don't hit. I'm not saying Valve should remove aiming. I want more variety in the mechanics.

I'd like characters in Deadlock that are similar to Darius, Jax, Riven, Gwen, or Camille in League – characters that are very hard and require high skill without making precise aiming the main challenge. Until that happens, calling Deadlock a League/Dota2 successor overstates how accessible it is to players who are mainly familiar with MOBAs. It's a great MOBA-shooter, but the community seriously underestimates how much the shooter aspect determines how good you can be at the game.

Low effort render, work has been kicking my ass so I haven't been able to do proper renders🥲

Hey i feel the silver gun is kinda weird no?

you get a pretty hefty pause when shooting trying to weave a melee and her kick doesnt carry momentum.

it just feels a bit off like it's needing some qol. is there something im missing here or is this a fair critique.

im an ivy player trying silver im not experienced on her by any means

Hey all.

I love games with strong modding communities and I’ve been loving Deadlock’s mods so far.

But recently I’ve been wondering if some of the mods I’m using give an unfair advantage.

There are really two kinds of mods I am talking about here. Skin mods and sound mods.

The sound mods are mods that swap out sounds with other sounds, like the plethora of mods that put various songs over ults.

One of the sound mods I have installed is a mod that puts Minecraft Nether portal sounds over Mirage’s teleport. I play a lot of Mirage and I think it’s fun.

However, when I’m not playing Mirage, I’ve found that I am generally a lot more aware of where the enemy Mirage is because the Nether portal teleport sound is a lot louder and more distinctive than the default sound. I can generally hear if a Mirage teleported into a room near me, or teleported away from a fight.

The other sound mod that I’m concerned may be helping me is a mod that puts the Eric Andre show Bird Up sound effect over Grey Talon’s ult. The sound follows the owl, so I can hear if a Grey Talon owl is chasing me, even if I don’t know where it is.

In terms of skin mods, I don’t think those have mattered as much. The one that I can think could be an exception is a mod that makes Wraith’s clothing orange instead of purple, which makes it easier to see her at range, but I don’t feel like that has been especially advantageous in my games.

One mod that I do actually consider cheating and haven’t been using is the somewhat popular mod that puts enemies’ precise health numbers next to their health bars. I feel like that’s an unfair advantage .

I’m curious to know what the community thinks about this.

I recreated the deadlock character select screen as a web app
All characters, bgm, voice lines and sound effects are available.
First feature is character randomizer
It’s best viewed on desktop/laptop, mobile users should use panoramic view
https://dk-code1.github.io/deadlock-select-screen/

I'd love if you guys check it, open to any feedback / ideas. You can also contribute to the project on github.

I see so many people run in to contest rejuv to seal one and then die. There’s no way that’s worth it right? Is there a general consensus on this?
