Kelvin is the most impactful character at high elo right now, also part of why you feel weak is you invest heavy in melee then never melee, a lot of your souls went to buffing something you almost never use
@MastYT Surprised, you said that beam kelvin is garbage. I find antiheal and cc is so strong in the game that going supporty kelvin never really works out outside a solid like 4-8m window midgame where your build is up but the enemy hasnt started counterbuilding yet. Meanwhile using an early infuse to secure kills early game with beam kelvin you naturally start doing to of damage, you have insane value because of how much you slow and lower fire rate and your healing remains decent due to enemies not specifically counter building healsbane. Personally I tech in an alchemical fire to make my globe almost a guarenteed kill and I've had great success
@@AlexJCrossonce u get to a solid mmr I’ve found that pretty much every game once u hit the 16ish minute mark half of every team give or take is going to have either toxic bullets or healbane and if not have some kind of built in healing reduction to their character. That doesn’t mean that having healing isn’t still very valuable as you can get enough healing on lots of characters that it’s still healing for a shit ton and healing booster is insane value into these teams. Health nova for example for just 1250 when used well can be doing 1k plus healing per use once laning phase ends and is very impactful
Good to see you escaping the Smite whole and doing around the same numbers. I'm looking forward to the "Got a solid grasp of the game now time to get creative-Mast". Hope you continue to have fun.
i feel like kelvin's auto firing should stack a frost status like Infernus stacks ignite, I think it would just help him a lot with sticking and it would be cool to build an awesome frost sprit scaling slow build that does a bunch of damage
or if they can't do that for some reason at least just change his gun because whats the point of having a literal snowball launcher it has nothing but have low damage?
@1:45 its called right hand advantage. Its been a thing since 3ps's (especially ones that dont allow you to flip aim angles) have had for years. Classic 3ps Mechanic that gets overlooked often.
I really enjoy watching your Deadlock videos man, even my girlfriend who has never touched a moba or FPS wanted to try it out after watching your coverage on Lash :)
I am sure you know this by now but escalating exposure makes arctic beam feel like a mini bebop ult, I am also a big fan of superior duration on ice path, lets you be wherever you want to be and play in the air the whole match, also soul shredder bullets help the burst quite a bit too! great vid as always.
Kelvin is a huge counter to Infernus. Just poke him with 1 while you cs and don't let him get burn build up and you're good. When he tried to all in just 3 him till he's moving at 1m/s.
Hey - I know you said you don't like Beam Build, but I love playing Kelvin, early infuser into mystic vulernability, Mystic reach, cooldown, swiftboots. I feel your complaint about doing nothing is because you're play style was geared towards "healer role" and not thinking like a MOBA. I'm probably low rank, but small things like wave pushing. You could have preserved Orange lane around 14 mins instead of diving. If you were leveling the 3 not the 1 you wouldn't have to worry about the akward hitbox. My games (assuming low rank) are usually 2 people pushing a single lane and then by 20mins they're in the base because no one bothers to do lane control - so i've pushed 3 lanes and the other team doesn't realize they've lost 2 walkers. Kelvin makes this great cause with swiftboots you can use 2 to run from lane to lane with little problem. Boost your 3 to melt towers and use your 4 to cover you during the melt. By 25-30mins you should be able to basically use your ult to win the game by melting down objectives. It's cheese, but it definitely works esp with a haze. Her ult can't be cancelled by anything but stun so with a full kit haze + Kelvin. You can walk into the weakened Patron and basically win the game ezpz. Like your commentary over gameplay - keep up the good work!
Mast, love your videos, been watching for smite originally but saw you were doing deadlock too. Would love to see you do some viscous games, very fun hero IMO. Keep up the awesome videos.
Find the build with health nova as first part, buy in order. Unlock beam first then nade. Upgrade both first as you unlock everything. Play conservatively and farm minions and deny orbs as much as possible. Use beam+ nade to harass people in lane, ur heal is for you if solo allowing you to challenge dps characters. Once u get ult your just waiting for them to push you into ult where beam and nade and melee will help you win a fight and win tower, if duo it's easier if you can catch someone in it with ur duo to 2v1 and get an easy kill. From there you just play normal and focus healing people in team fights and grinding to get ur beam and ult as strong as possible
slowly catching up to your most recent videos and I would like to know, Mast, is there a way to tell what lane you'll be going into? From the last few games I've played since I still just started playing deadlock, it seems random even though I picked Ivy which is clearly a support type character but in that game I was put into a solo lane (and was the only person on my team not dying back to back but perservance led us to victory). Is there a way to know if you'll be in a solo lane or with another person? Or is it somewhat based on if you are playing solo or with someone else?
The ice path for whatever reason blocks nothing including LOS. I thought I was making a big brain play by blocking a rope with my ice path, but they could still just attach to the rope and go through the path.
Look up MEDIOCRE for a kelvin carry build. Kelvin isnt a support character his beam is opressive and mast needs to revisit his kelvin game with the MEDIOCRE beam build
As long as you're both within a certain range of a minion, up to two players will both get 100% of the value, more than 2 players it gets split. After 10 minutes farm is always split between teamates in range. Denies only go to the person who denied the orb, afaik.
Try Turret build McGinnis playstyle is put shit ton of turrets in an area where the enemy will retreat. Heroic Spirit + 2 on turrets make them unkillable
Few pointers/thoughts: - I just found funny that few vids ago u complained/muted your teammates for talking and now u miss them talking :p i know it was due to not yet used to this live commentary and it took u offguard and now u are used to it, but still how the tables turned :D - for me playing supportive style characters that FORCE others to co-operate start them to realise teamplays worth, like dynamos quantum warp were u can take teammates with u and ivys ult. Quite quickly ive got people stick near me during teamfights. - kelvin seems really strong in high mmr matches/ 6-man stacks, but struggles in solo/low mmr because coordination is soo important to kelvin potential. Found u 2 weeks ago from deadlock vid recommendations and i absolutely love u and your vids! Keep em coming, cause i bet your channel will blow up once deadlock goes mainstream!!
kelvins one of the best against infernus he requires firerate you remove his firerate. just dont bubble him thats a bad idea lol also not grabbing that 1 pointer in the movement hurt man its so crazy good. i know you want that beam maxed. but its literally like a 40% movement increase for you for a 1 point diff that you'd get from a jar
You need to put deadlock in your titles and thumbnails if you want more views. If you notice your metrics the ones with the name deadlock have vastly more views compared to character names or whatever gameplay.
I think a problem is your playing Kelvin as a support and not an and this is gonna sound weird an assassin and building as such I have fought and have demons as Kelvin "mains" just slow and entire team for eons and murder us slowly cause the hero and hes playerbase are psychos
Mast… please explain the damn abilities. I don’t know the character, I watch you trying to decide if I’m going to play. You talk about all the intricacies of the abilities and then dont explain what it does…. Now I have to look it up. Help me be lazy please!?!? Love your videos, I still can’t decide if this game is will be fun to play. I enjoy watching you play though.
Here's the run down Kelvin 1 throw an ice Grenade, Grenade damages and slows enemies(on upgrade get additional damage, charges and they start healing allies) Kelvin 2 creates a walkable path of ice that kelvin can raise or lower to give him mobility (upgrades increase speed while traveling, reduce the cooldown and gives him free spirit power) Kelvin 3 fires a damaging beam of ice that slows the enemys movement and fire rate(upgrades reduce the CD, raise the dps, and cause the beam to split to 2 further targets) Kelvin 4 big ice globe that traps him, and any other entities in range. Heals allies and slows enemies(upgrades reduce cd, increase the healing and grants further slows)
Really digging your coverage on this game Mast. Please tell me you have videos coming for every character on the roster 😄
I gotta see him play some shiv!
@@Waynerdshe already played shiv
would love to see some paradox
Mast my family and I love to watch your videos. Super relaxing. Thanks man!
i aspire to watch my favorite stuff with my future family. I love watching with people but I'm always the only one interested
This channel is goated, one of the first channels I’ve found just making normal gameplay commentary of this game
Been hella into your content lately. I love deadlock, so it's really nice to see someone else who also loves it. Keep playing the games you love!
Kelvin is the most impactful character at high elo right now, also part of why you feel weak is you invest heavy in melee then never melee, a lot of your souls went to buffing something you almost never use
that was just coincidental to the game, I've been getting more value out of the melee in every other game
@MastYT Surprised, you said that beam kelvin is garbage. I find antiheal and cc is so strong in the game that going supporty kelvin never really works out outside a solid like 4-8m window midgame where your build is up but the enemy hasnt started counterbuilding yet.

High, low. He is premium pick in any game. Likely to get nerfed next patch.
For the healing at 26:25 it could be because there is healing reduction that people can apply
Good to see you escaping the Smite whole and doing around the same numbers. I'm looking forward to the "Got a solid grasp of the game now time to get creative-Mast". Hope you continue to have fun.
that intro is iconic and i'm always excited to see more of this game and learn from you! thanks 👌

yeah I'm familiar with it, just hadn't noticed it matter much in deadlock until recently
@@MastYT very fair lol
Just in time to forget the work week and relax with Mast. Thank you Mast.
I really enjoy watching your Deadlock videos man, even my girlfriend who has never touched a moba or FPS wanted to try it out after watching your coverage on Lash :)
Really wish i had access, watching you cook up some fun makes me want to start cooking some cheese as well
im feeling generous today gimme your steam ill add you and give you access :)
If you want there are tons of people in the Steam forum giving out invites if you send them a friend invite
I can give you an invite (but not now)

This is just so nice that u talk a lot and explain things.
Great vid as always! As for what you said in the end maybe a Lady Geist game soon?
kelvins 3 is insane early game coming often, doing big damage and slow, great for early aggression or capitalizing on the enemy over pushing
Kelvin is a huge counter to Infernus. Just poke him with 1 while you cs and don't let him get burn build up and you're good. When he tried to all in just 3 him till he's moving at 1m/s.
Really wanna see warden game play such a fun character

I find that fleetfooted makes such a huge difference with Kelvin, since you're moving quick with the beam to chase down kills
I have no tips I fed like a maniac when I played him

Enduring speed definitely helps on Kelvin, makes your 2nd less of a death trap sometimes also
Kelvin is the present top pick in my friend group, cool-down plus range is nuts. I like a tank style while my friend loves max damage beam.

Woooo mast vid
Im eagerly awaiting tomorrows video and hero of choice!

kelvin is insane early game ur crazy
Yes this game needs a shoulder camera switch sooooo badly
Very nice
you need to add knockdow and curse on the build guide, should be mandatory on every build guide
Look up MEDIOCRE for a kelvin carry build. Kelvin isnt a support character his beam is opressive and mast needs to revisit his kelvin game with the MEDIOCRE beam build
I play whoever you make a video on so I have builds and a sense of their style. I’m going crazy as Lash lately
I love using fleetfoot on Kelvin with his 2
what a great game to play after smite 2 disappointed me, im loving deadlock so far
irish kevin frozone
ah yes his domain expansion
Right hand peek advantage isn’t surprising with a valve game
Are those buffs you get from jars and crates permanent or temporary?
Perm, anything you earn in deadlock be it killing a mech or getting 4% ammo is keeps.
We are all thinking it, kelvin needs a frozone skin
Nice punch build. I like hourglass girl. Just get someone with heroic Ora so good lane pressure and dmg active.
I've had zero problems with his nades hitting and only problems with Warden's, so I do think it may be cope :P
How long does an invite take? I’ve been invited but still haven’t received email
Depends sometimes it's instant like my friends mine took overnight to receive
@@brandonbrummett5965 I see, I got invited around 5PM today. Currently 11:35PM so I’m hustling waiting patiently! 2 people invited me but nothing yet
Really? I love his nades at the beginning of the game, great poke and great when the enemy team is hiding behind walls and buying stuff
How does farm work in duo lanes?
As long as you're both within a certain range of a minion, up to two players will both get 100% of the value, more than 2 players it gets split. After 10 minutes farm is always split between teamates in range. Denies only go to the person who denied the orb, afaik.
Try Turret build McGinnis playstyle is put shit ton of turrets in an area where the enemy will retreat.
Heroic Spirit + 2 on turrets make them unkillable
"Kelvin has the slowest autos bar none." Hmm... What about Viscous though?
Few pointers/thoughts:

Bad kelvin
Can we get a Warden video?
kelvins one of the best against infernus he requires firerate you remove his firerate. just dont bubble him thats a bad idea lol
also not grabbing that 1 pointer in the movement hurt man its so crazy good. i know you want that beam maxed. but its literally like a 40% movement increase for you for a 1 point diff that you'd get from a jar

My dog, you could just play the game and decide for yourself whether it is fun or not
It’s free

@@AlexJCross thanks bud
Kelvin weak early???? haaaa... Is he even playing the game lol sounds like skill issue to me ngl😅 just his 3 is enough to pretty much 1vs1 every hero.
Day 106 of asking on behalf of that other guy for Bacchus adc with full mage adc build/attack speed so late game when autoing you become a beyblade
Wow this is a AWFUL Kelvin build.
Pred is better.
Whatever you're doing with your voice makes you sound like Kamala Harris and is making me click away from your videos.
holy brainrot
