you missed 2 big things imo. 1- souls dropped from guardians/walkers are actually really important not because their individual value you see on the screen, but they are distributed to your entire team (x6). failing to secure those souls and getting them denied is a big loss for your team especially early on 2 - bridge buff every 10 mins. while its not a 'soul' item persay, its been theorized that the bridge buff is about equivalent to 3000 souls worth of items, with the benefit of not taking a weapon slot. keeping an eye on the clock and getting those + machines at the appropriate time alone can give you a good boost that takes almost no time or effort, just being aware of the 10 min timing to ideally bridge buff, steal a machine, then get your own machines
Wasn't sure to include the Bridge Buff but I agree that it's insanely impactful. Very reminiscent of Dota's river runes that give insane buffs like Double Damage and or Double Movementspeed. I didn't realize the Guardian/Walker souls were team wide x6 values. That's def a huge deal. Here's a pin.
Bridge buff is insane. I'd argue that it can be better to have a teammate grab that bridge buff and immediately die with it than allow the enemy to grab it and use it completely unchecked, especially in the early/mid-game. It's too huge in any team fight to just hand over to the enemy team.
@@ColonialDagger id agree especially the 1st one @ 10mins, its such a massive powerspike that gets completely ignored by a lot of people even in higher ranked games. giving it up vs a steal, death & 20 second respawn is 100% worth imo
@@prohibit3252 thanks yeah i actually didnt know that either until a week ago, but on the flipside if your own walker goes down and you can stay nearby and deny those souls without dying, its also a nice denial of enemy souls what i see some top rank players do now re bridge buffs is if a teammate who that specific buff is even better on is nearby, they'll signal that teammate to pick it up but that requires a bit of coordination :P
I think a recent update changed the values for denying, giving 40% from shooting the orb and 60% from last hitting the minion. Still very good to always try and secure and deny though
I like the change. It does make not claiming not quite as punishing. But if you're really good at denying, you can still severly gimp your opponents in the laning phase.
Urn gives an ability point. Guardians give ability points. Walkers give an ability point. Aka they level you up without the souls needed for a level. They are a significant boon if you can get walkers and guardians early. Urn also gives a random stat bonus and AP for EVERYONE in your team, meaning it's very significant the earlier you do them. Having multiple people on your team with their ultimates maxed or best skills maxed, even without items, means they do so much more damage. Also you forgot entirely to mention that GUN DAMAGE scales up with levels. Spirit, does not. This means if you have a higher level than the enemy your gun will do more. This is why gun builds with a good push usually become a complete stomp.
@7:58 uhhhhhhhh yeah ur just straight up incorrect here. They are one of the best single camps you can ever do or steal from the other team. The only thing that scales harder is the urn. That 1 room with the double machine is worth more than 3 full waves if you full clear it.... it should be a mega priority always.
Hey, I took another look at what I said in the video. What I said was misleading and I should've clarified more on Sinner's Sacrifices in the video. Sinner's Sacrifices are definitely worth a lot of Souls and are great to take throughout the game. What I mostly meant was the math below. Before 10 minutes. 1 Sinner's Sacrifice is slightly more Souls than a wave of troopers with the double machine room giving you essentially 2 waves. (660 souls from 2 machine vs. 300 from 1 wave, 2.2 : 1 ratio). After 10 minutes, the ratio skews slightly towards trooper waves (818 souls from 2 machines vs 472 from 1 wave, 1.73 : 1 ratio) and keeps skewing towards troopers (when you're only looking at solo exp). The base value of Sinner's Sacrifice machine is so high that it pretty much carries its value throughout the whole game even if it becomes slightly less valuable as time goes on. But when you compare it with the fact that Sacrifices are probably giving you solo Soul value instead of sharing it with a teammate, it's value goes even higher later in the game where you're probably sharing most of your waves with a teammate.
@@prohibit3252 its not about math, its about punching a machine over and over while your team feeds. i literally cant not go to the double machine rooms and even die stealing the enemies 😎
@@prohibit3252 ur missing the T2 minion from that room as well in ur soul count. that 1 single camp is the highest soul camp in the game (more than the T3 minion camps) they also give a golden statue buff. they are mega priority, in High elo we feed them to our teams carry specifically on cooldown to get their dmg higher.
i haven’t played league in like two months because of this game, but i wonder if i’ll be better at league now after learning and playing deadlock without all the hang-ups i had with league.
Any time I take a break from League I end up playing better tbh. I think Deadlock's death timers being so punishing late game make you value your life in the late game. And I could see build diversity in Deadlock make players better at recognizing more build options and flexibility in League.
@@prohibit3252 i think the biggest thing for me is the fact that souls are the only currency that you have to manage. exp in league is more important than gold but it’s so easy to miss that it’s unintuitive compared to deadlock. the fact that everything is tied to souls in this game really makes the decision making process that much clearer to me, especially when you factor in the way that objectives give you flex slots. i often find myself feeling lost while playing league whereas decisions feel much more obvious in deadlock.
@@eebbaa5560 I don't play league a lot but I've always found it to be a lot different than 3rd person MOBAs where I feel like it is more fast paced in laning phase. Weapon and spirit damage helped me understand League's systems better but I always feel the need to shove and steal jungle and get punished for it, or play passive and get outfarmed. I just feel that the game is so much older and the player base has a lot more unwritten rules when it comes to how to play the game where with Deadlock I feel that I don't get punished as hard since there are so much more people learning and trying new things. This is all under the context of only playing LoL in full parties tho with a group that has been playing a long time, so I am obviously playing against people with 100s of more hours. From my outside perspective tho this is usually what I see when I play League, may be much higher paced at decent MMRs.
Comeback mechanics are weird, I feel like it's too easy to just aim and bully the weakest player on the enemy team who has the least souls because like you said if that team is ahead that kill is just worth a lot for some reason. I kinda wish it rewarded taking out people with big kill streaks more than just bullying the ones doing the worst being just as rewarding
where can you find those tables with the exact soul values you show throughout the video? you mention that there are resources but you don't link them anywhere lol
as you can't chose your team it's very RNG based as one team can be better agains another team. Its call "counter picks" in other mobas but this game don't allow to midigate this in ranked.
5:28 just to clarify, only denizen camps on the enemy side of the map convert into unsecured souls. this gives players a chance to get back farm that was stolen from their jungle camps. if you are farming neutral creeps on your side of the map, you get the full value immediately.

These were things you forgot in your video entirely by the way.
People are thinking about farming patterns when there are lanes that need to be pushed.
Honestly this is a good understanding of the game for beginners, well made video!

Objectives are very important, especially the necessity of denying and confirming the souls on them, these souls are given to the entire team

Negative ghostrider, all Denizen camps turn into Unsecured souls when destroyed, no matter the location. This is stated on the wiki as well.
I dont think thats accurate
