90% of the complaints about this game are brainless people who think that Valve has no idea what they are doing, and assume that the alpha doesn't mean alpha

Comparing a complete game like marvel rivals to deadlock makes no sense… Deadlock literally in testing, all the doom and gloom videos might force them to close testing to the public.

Why are so many people being doomers abt this game? Its super early development and also its a valve game... why is everyone worried?

they should make a single player mode for it

Marvel Rivals is not comparable. man that game is a pure overwatch reskin, so cringe. i think more characters are welcome but only to an extent, most friends of mine never gave lol a chance because the learning curve sucks because of so many. Matchmaking must be adjusted. I would LOVE all random or all same hero modes

Comparing rivals and a play test is kinda crazy.

IMO the 2 biggest issues are lack of Heroes on the roster (and all of the things we're missing because of it) and so much focus on rapid balance adjustments that they're missing the bigger picture. They are HYPER focused on balancing items and current heroes, which is absolutely the most important thing to get right in a game like this, but they spend so much time balancing the current things that they run the risk of putting all their eggs in one basket, and having that balance destroyed when they release a couple heroes that contradict the hyper-tuned balance. Better to get a bigger roster so they can wrap their heads around ALL of the balance issues, not just what the game current has. As far as matchmaking goes, bad games are to be expected in a game with 12 person lobbies and a dwindling worldwide playerbase. I'm High Phantom - Low Ascendant, but almost ALWAYS get put into games where the average rank is Archon. It's essentially Me and 1 other higher ranked player in the lobby vs anything from Emissary or higher. It makes games feel absolutely terrible. Either I have to HARD carry the entire team, or we're entirely screwed.

It’s a closed alpha. It’s not an issue. The matchmaking, yes. It is an issue. I wouldn’t worry about it otherwise.

I really wouldn't worry about this stuff. Almost everything mentioned I'm certain valve already know and are working towards. The game in it's current state is a play test and the feedback received has been extremely positive. The fact that the game blew up in this unpolished state is a testament to how good the core game is and it's potential. Surely getting that right is a lot harder and more important at this stage than creating progression and micro transactions to hold player retention.

Deadlock isn’t even out. It’s a closed alpha. You can only play the game if you have a key. The game has had zero advertisements. I do agree though I’d like to see more content for deadlock. Deadlocks time will come.

I think compairing Deadlock to Marvel Rivals is kinda off. Rivals launched like a couple weeks ago while Deadlock has been out for a few months.

more McGinnis coverage :3

Whats your ability order since the changes to her 2?

4-11 beebop talking shit to the 8-8 yamato perfectly sums up deadlock lol

that haze not helping in lane where 3 dudes are coming sorta pisses me off

How hook twice at 30:56

Flight is good for short bursts of movement, and a free 1.5x magazine size

13:39 it's worth noting that at higher elos, a good Viscous player will uncube and parry if they see you charging a heavy melee next to their cube

Recently started playing Paradox. So much fun, love this hero. The carbine is so satisfying, it's like a railgun. Love the sound too. Also the movement (animations) is cool af. Also feel that Devine Kevlar is so good for her, makes it safer to swap into a team. Then you could possible add Phantom Strike also to TP back to your original location, would almost guarantee the kill too.

what order did he level his abilities?

useless yapping

This build looks nuts lol i will have to try it out. I have been using averagejonas’ tankbop build and have had lots of success with it so far

his positioning is actually so interesting cuz he is so well spaced in the backline in like the whole late game.

the ivy death at around 9:40 was a bug, if lash slams someone while they're slightly above the ground they get stuck stunned below him for a few seconds

Thanks for the video Kevin

I feel like McGinnis spirit > gun build

As a Bebop main I appreciate you highlighting a gun build! Gun build Bebop is surprisingly fun and effective. Echo Shard Bomb builds kinda hurt my soul to see these days. You can do obscene burst damage if you play safe enough but you're pretty hard countered by Debuff Remover (or dying), so it feels a lot less flexible than Gunbop.

I've been running this build for a few weeks now and it's been really effective! When you can consistently track them all the way down from a hook->uppercut combo, very few people survive that

I feel like Hunter's Aura would be a good buy on a Gunbop build since you're hooking and isolating people. I was holding off on trying this hero since they were changing him so much, but it might be time.

Thanks for the Bebop tips! The farming tips were very helpful.

lash being lashed here

What ability do the improved reach and superior cooldown go on?

Appreciate you Eskie, I like your self awareness

i loved the mikaelS understatement 😂 bro IM a very very very good player, mikael is possibly THE best player

The patron knock respawn thing is a great change. I don't understand why people don't like it. Without that, one team fight ends the game and that's not fun. The games do tend to last a little longer, but it gives teams a chance to get back into the game and basically forces the attacking team to play an objective rather than pushing for a quick end.

Shiv been on the menu, been dropping 15-20 bombs even before the recent buff

thank you kelvin

I tend to like the patron going down Respawn timer reduction because it makes the two stage patron actually relevant. Previously I thought having two stages for the patron was kinda silly for the same reasons you don't like the respawn thing but together it gives you one more fight if you are trying to end off of a desperate team wipe and reduces the impact of a couple bad staggers on your team being an immediate lose condition. I think what the devs are going for are big exciting moments (especially if they are looking forward to esports) and this change leads to those moments.

12:28 i think he took the tp so he could zip away safer, especially bc warden was on that lane

pristine emblem on gun shiv y/n?

all this back-and-forth with shiv really just reminds me why he’s so inconsistent, and by extension, where i feel like this game really fails in its balancing on a conceptual level. at his core, shiv is a character that does less than nothing if he’s not insanely fed. he’s easily countered, and probably one of the worst cases of a “feast or famine” character in this game. he’s either really good or really bad based on his numbers, and he alternates between patches where he’s trash and patches where he’s broken solely based on how easy it is to build rage and how much damage his abilities deal. haze is another example of a character like this, but now that she’s been reworked more into a solo-kill assassin, she has a much more clear and defined identity than shiv does which might make her easier to balance in the future. the reason why i think this a failure of the game design and not character specific balance is because i feel like there are a lot of characters that simply do too much and do not have clearly-defined roles. utility is too important in this game, and characters that can make some kind of impact simply by using their abilities are always going to be inherently better than characters like shiv, whose abilities contribute absolutely nothing to a team if he’s not fed. normally, this wouldn’t be an issue in a game like league or dota, but due to deadlock’s small roster and how skewed a lot of the power budgets are in this game, the lack of defined character identities makes this game a balancing nightmare.

It was good to see a long one. Great to see some different game states and see what could happen or change in those situations

Finally, an Elvis analysis!

any plans for viewer game reviews?

Regarding Vindicta: Obikym is Dimov's teammate in Buff Enjoyers.

I quite like the death timer on patron weakened. It's still not instant but it gives you another chance rather than being anticlimactic

how many times have we heard “shiv is back” lol

Nice, literally just watched MikaelS' shiv video too

I can't see shit whats happening in this game. Does it get better when u actually play it?

Give us the build i want at least a quick glance at it early game.
