Do the tutorial, get a feel for each hero in sandbox mode, explore public item builds, watch replays. Playing a Hero for the first time will put you into a lower rank game*, so don't worry about it too much.

Why do people say Mirage is a good laner? It's fucking impossible to get a kill unless the enemy is braindead, his wave push is terrible, he has low hp with leeching off creeps with crappy scarabs to compensate.
Am I missing something? Feels like I have no agency in the lane other than use tornado to not die and hope my lane partner doesn't feed.

Yeah I don't know what's going on any more, but I can't even bring myself to try and learn unfamiliar characters with how buttfuckingly psychotic matchmaking in this game is. There's no way of learning shit in a 40 minute match where you get instantly deleted by some overfed fucker with a thousand matches who can be anywhere on the map instantly. Let alone multiple.

I was just testing it out, because Gun Geist is top-tier late-game. But That's despite two of her abilities being basically worthless at that point (bomb and suck). Spirit Geist synergizes more with her kit overall, and still deals pretty ridiculous damage, and has much more self-heal. And because of her self-damage, Berserker paired with one or two gun items will always make her gun at least somewhat effective.
>>
>>559100851
if you have good aim his gun is good early game. play agressively especially if your partner has a braincell
if you have shit aim play it safe, bait them to damage you and poke with pain battery
getting kills is good but not dying is better. each second you are dead is farm lost
got ult? steal their jungle
don't engage in fights if their team is good early game, just farm

As a life-long Spirit Geist who has used almost the same build the entire time he's played, I'm going to tell you flat out: Spirit Geist is ass. If you have a team that can really utilize it, she's amazing - a Dynamo or Lash will basically feed you kills. But without that coordination, you're basically hucking bombs at peolpe who are most likely building Spellbreaker and other spirit resist items anyway, and with no one to CC for you your output will be high, but your kills will be low.

I like the game, but the deadlock roster feels kinda anemic so far compared to Dota 2.
Not design wise, that's great, but mechanically and in terms of their kits.
Like In Dota, as soon as the draft is done and yo use the enemy team, you just know that the game will have to be played a certain way, your build will probably be nothing like the last game and you're going through niche mechanical interactions that only apply to this specific 5v5 scenario. What characters are in a match is actually transformative and changes how you play.
But Deadlock feels like it lacks this.
Everyone is this vague hypermobile blob of damage and either their number is bigger than yours and they beam you down or you do.
And the kits pretty much all just come down to hovering mouse over enemy and clicking your buttons off cooldown.
Deadlock characters are severely lacking in the rule-breaking kind of design ideas like dota heroes have that create unique gameplay scenarios.
Maybe it's just that the game is early and the roster is small and Valve added the more straightforward characters first. But it's kinda samey once novelty wears off. Characters like doorman are a good step in the right direction, but I really hope Icefrog can do more with the 3d space than smite heroes from 2015.

In the current state of the game, there is no reason to play Spirit Geist when Celeste exists and does way more damage with absolutely zero aim required for both her gun and skills, on top of the insane mobility and disgustingly broken ult and shield.
>>559103380
His gun is kinda mediocre too, and learning how to properly use the hex for maximum effect as well.
Also punch Sinclair is based.
>>
>>
>>559103262
This desu. I am totally fine with losing brawls if people would at least exist in the game. I've had so many brawls where McGinnis is setting up a turret farm behind the walker when the rest of the team is trying to push their guardian or something. Infernus sitting back trying his hardest to preserve his brawl KDA while sniping with his fingers and dashing back to spawn the second an enemy appears within 50m of him is another one.
Literally just interact with the video game. That's all people should be expected to do in brawl and some people fail at even doing that.

There are definitely certain "mods' that are exploding in popularity recently that I would definitely count as cheating.
>"Umm you can just see when someone clears a camp on the map and thus know the time!"
Okay now make sure you pay attention when enemy jungle camps are being cleared. Make sure you remember the exact time any individual camp of the 40~ some odd ones that exist go away without your faggy camp timer.
>"Umm you can just add up the amount of souls someones items cost and then subtract from their current soul total to see their unspent souls"
Okay now make sure you do that for the enemy team on the fly while also fighting and managing your own lane.
If this information was meant to be easily accessible to the average player, it already would be. Part of the skill is managing this information while playing.

Small hitbox, good mobility, great gun for denying. I've had the most success just making her a hypertanky healslut coming in for the rescue, engaging fights, or solo pushing. You can easily carry a team of shitters through infinite healing and good calls.

looking deeper into toxic vs healthy communities for no reason other than my own (I like this game but already hate the community after less than a dozen matches)
major toxic factors according to research papers I found:
>PvP focus/no PvE mode
>30+ minute match length
>Hostage effects (quit penalties, high player interedepence)
>Pseudonimity
>Text chat
>Winner takes all/Ranked ladders
>mechnical frustrations (Stuns, one-shots)
Deadlock has all of those, but valves recent missions statements say they want to deal with it. sadly, this is where they fail the science and seem to actively be going against it
>humiliation punishment (frog ban) promotes resentment
>invite-only accountability promotes gatekeeping and git-gud attitudes
>focus on community governance through reports and commendations to the same effect
call me a hater if you want but I can't see this going well under current directives. The MOBA curse is real and much talked about. While older games can keep running under the assumption that their regular troglodytes are too invested to leave a new game can't thrive in an awakened gaming landscape if the trogs aren't removed or at least silenced.

>>559105973
yeah 1 is a little hard to hit. if you struggle with it, using expansion on pain battery instead of aura isn't a bad idea. your early damage/survival relies a lot on it
you want to use 3 a few seconds before the fights start to scale up the damage. if the enemies run away from you, turn it off to stop the ticking so you don't kill yourself. if they come back, turn it on
for laning you can just use it if you want to fight, but early game it doesn't deal THAT much damage so hitting 1 and getting it faster with 2 is crucial + aiming (his gun is very good)
honestly a lot of that comes with playing victor, eventually things just click

lane buddies/general character combos. if a win or loss depends on how well the team works together resentment and blame-shifting increase, especially in ranked games with long round times (hostage situation) like this.
>>559106273
to varying degrees, yes, which is why I was able to find a surprising amount of research on the topic.

builds depend on how you play the character except some good core items that you'll build regardless, you can't just see a build and run it without knowing how that person is playing, it's the diference between staying behind cover and spamming abilities on cooldown or gunning people down from rooftops, you might have more success with a supposedly less meta build if it works more with how you play

I sort of like the idea that Frankenstein is canon and Victor is literally the monster, eventually given a proper soul by the first Maelstrom.

In dota 2 you have a behaviour score that goes up to 12k iirc. the more games you play without getting reported the higher it goes, the more you get reported or abandon games and grief the lower it gets.
you get matched with people of similar behavior score as you, so if you have a low behavior score you will be matched with the most vile stereotypical MOBA players you can imagine. if you have high behavior score you get matched with other players with high behavior score so it's a lot less likely for you to be matched with a griefer.

You can see your own behavior score but not other people's.
tl;dr is if you are insufferable you end up in something worse than elo hell, you end up playing with people that will literally throw the game if you so much as take one creep from them or will go afk the moment they don't stomp their lane.

the hostage situation is absolute dogshit, a remnant of a long dead design philosophy created by elitist warcraft 2 players who wanted to rank every player according to their standards iirc. I just ate a 2 hour ban from play the other day for quitting a game as soon as some inbred started hating on everyone including his own team in the first minutes of a round in text. I'm not about to play community manager for free, report and sit it out, we're 15 years past that at this point. This is how you lose mentally stable players who just boot another game at the first inconvenience of this type and the internal kpis are sure to show it.

> its caused people to believe that they have a right to always have games end when they want them to
people will act in their own interest in an inconsequential video game, always. no amount of repercussions for opting to leave a game when it's no longer fun will deter me from doing that. Can't tell me what to do as long as you don't pay me, better shut your mouth if I'm the one doing the paying.
Make no surrender opt-in, there's already a "competitive" checkmark somewhere in options may as well tie it to that so the hardcore players can find each other and enjoy.

Well, tracklog claims I'm oracle or something but I'm ascendant. It's just a guess based on lobbies you've played in where people uploaded the match data. So if you, for example, play a bunch of party queue, it's going to be completely inaccurate.

surrender should only be all 6 dc like it is in dota, anything less is stupid. It's literally completely ruined league, even if you make it opt in best case you split the player base worse case you introduce a terrible mentality that spreads and ruins the game.
To me surrender is akin to griefing, I will report you if you do it.

Do you seriously think that Apollo or Celeste take any amount of skill to play? Their hitboxes on all skills are so generous, the cooldowns are all so low, all of their skills have like 2-3 extra passives tacked on to them. Celeste gets free spirit lifesteal and a massive shield that punishes you for breaking it, she's completely and totally overpowered and has been first pick/ban in many of the higher skill games.

Being overpowered doesn't make a hero braindead
Being skill based rather than just m1ing people doesn't make them braindead either
If they are so braindead just pick them and hit oracle
No, you just want to complain about every hero except the one you are currently playing

I'm already in Oracle, I don't need to be carried by characters that are completely and totally broken.
Celeste has the most forgiving and most generous skill set of any character in the game so far. If you manage to die as her, let alone lose the game as her, you are straight up bad.
>>
>>
>>559112360
It doesn't even need to be with the same character, once you try out more heroes you'll naturally learn about what other items do as well (for instance playing a gun hero, a support hero and a spirit hero)
Once you find out about your own playstyle and items, you'll naturally come up with stuff on your own based on preference e.g. "oh I want to put a point in this skill first" or "I want to get this laning item"

What's a good key to put alt cast on?
>>
>>
>>559112404
you have to time your parry
you have to know when you can commit to your thrusts, or when you have to back off with disengaging sigil
You need to know your thrust range, account for if they burn stamina to get out of it
you need to know who has slowing hex and where they are
and at the end of the day the real skill of the game is macro and in-fight positioning the latter of which is only easy if you are playing a tank

I put parry on scroll wheel down.
I tried putting alt cast there, but it doesn't function properly since you have to "hold" the key.
I currently have it on "G" because I rebound F to one of my skills, but this can make some key presses awkward depending on what abilities or items your using on their binds. Since I usually do not play heroes that require alt-casting outside of maybe a single item now and again (G+Z for a healing rite isn't a big deal) I'm not too impacted, but on others I absolutely would be, and probably would have to rebind.
That said, some have suggested switching "alt cast" to double-tap.
I have not tried this myself yet, but some do like it.
Food for thought.

refresher or curse depending on the need. if there's some hero that can rape your team outright you need a curse. otherwise refresher could be valuable for tempo control. you would kinda want all of those other items too. torment pulse lowish value. rapid recharge enables you to spit out more pillows, more pillows more CDR on tag along. more healing. you sell nova for refresher/curse here and keep the rest of your items. you could sell torment pulse for some actual survival. cheat death or some shit would be cheeky.

some big heroes to consider are like silver, yamato, shiv, victor. curse rapes a lot of heroes. but sometimes a curse is ESSENTIAL win condition for a game and on rem you get the extra duration while tagging along so it's even better on him. consider it a higher prio than arctic blast for sure. cold fronts fine, does its thing and is valuable crowd control. but I think if you're gonna spend that much you'd want curse.

Surrender will never be an option because it's not in DOTA unless you're in a full pre-made. I hope they keep it that way.
Leave the game or play to comeback. The game isn't over until it's over. If you don't like it there are other games out there for you to go be a queer in.

I have an idea how to play the game because I've played Dota 2 for years. Handling heroes will be come in time. But for me it's obvious I am losing gold/souls and having to play catchup on it is because there's so much downtime for me and I do not know the proper routes for jungling and boxes. Doesn't help that I mostly just dash jump and run.
Is it mandatory for me to really have knowledge now to do the long fast jumps, wall climbs, boosts, etc?

Like drifter, he is strong, he has life steal, and relies on melee attacks.
His counter is not buying antiheal, parry boosts, or armor, his counter is not being a retard and letting him pick off your support in a solo lane till he become unstoppable.

Yeah that's the trouble. You should actually be required to build tanky to dive like that.

She does benefit from having a coordinated team that can play high tempo around her, so "in theory" she should be good even if the results haven't shown it. Might be she's just too hard to be consistent with though.
What I don't understand is pub players complaining about her, I almost never see Silver doing particularly well in Ascendant and Phantom lobbies. My noob friends insist that she's a rape machine with no counterplay but even when I queue with them, I don't experience it. I assume it's like Lash or Bebop where scrubs just want to complain because they got twerked on once rather than learn how to play against them.

Well that is the thing. She can roflstomp Ritualist lobbies and below easily because they don't know the concept of counterbuy most of the time. Meanwhile in higher ranks people already know how to counter each hero. And she can do that with some retarded builds too. Meanwhile in Archon or higher you HAVE to buy Unstoppable on Silver most of the time

The way Abrahams played her, she was basically a dedicated killing machine - they had couple people orbiting her, ready to pop their stuns and sleeps so she could wolf in and clean up disabled players.

Lane safely, take their guardian at some point, then farm until your 3 can erode the enemy team and their objectives. Fleetfoot means you can time bursts and slides at the same time so you never have to reload while taking objectices, and in order to contribute in teamfights you just need to shoot one guy to dump out damage, press 4 if you're starting to lose (but haven't lost yet)

if you activate leap again after flying, you are launched downwards and forwards again. you can chain this ( leap -> retrigger leap -> airjump) to ride the momentum forwards. which is useful for roaming and for staying airborne longer
you can also retrigger leap in a new direction. eg. you can leap forwards up a lane to splitpush, then 180 midair and leap backwards to escape or bluff
esp. useful for mcginnis because you can basically just treat mleap as a ripcord to GTFO any time someone tries to gank you. as long as you leap before they shoot you

>>559125904
I don't understand this game's ranking system at all to be honest.
I lose 4 out of 5 games consistently. I consistently have the lowest kills, lowest damage, middle-range healing and objectives damage, and keep up on souls at best.
All of my characters except one (Ivy) perform worse than my skill level with two of them arrows pointing directly to my tiny dick.
And yet I keep going up. And the further I go up the more I get fucked.

>counter items exist therefore he is bad
there is not a single character in the game who has no counter items. and counterspell hard counters most ults. if you feel he has no sustain (he gets 10% lifesteal on his 37% damage amp btw (abilities reset afterburn too btw)) just build for it. the character is fine it sounds like your builds just suck

This is E4+ not E6. From my experience now that they “inflated” the ranks, E4s don’t know wtf they are doing. Also basing off win rates only is laughable. I or any other E6 player will tell you Seven is a bottom 5-10 hero yet according to that he is the best hero in the game

I for one am glad Deadlock had a fiverse cast in fact they need to be more diverse in body types so maybe next hero they can have a chubby Ixian girl who wears a tight shirt that hugs her cute folds and kind of lifts up off her cure belly and she also wears tight pants that hug her fat butt that would be very diverse and would be very cool wouldn't it?

I'm not buying this infernus downplaying
>debuff remover exists so he's bad!
debuff remover has a 50 second cooldown. afterburn has NO cooldown. and its not like you stop shooting after you proc afterburn right? its just going to immediately proc again. and debuff remover doesnt even give you 40% debuff resist anymore if anything infernus just got a huge buff

I remember getting shittalked about being in pisslow as a master in fucking lol of things when I lived in EU.
For context, Master ELO before GM was added, was literally the top like 2000 players in the entire region.
These people are just mentally ill.

if you're too retarded to understand when to use active items or how to position to avoid getting caught out in the open by an infernus, no amount of counter items will save you because you're too fundamentally devoid of critical thinking to identify your own pattern of misutilizing tools in the wrong place, at the wrong time, because you cannot see the bigger picture.
You're scooping dirt into a cup, and then crying that your cup has no room for water. You'll die of starvation, because you're too retarded to find a river or empty your cup.
