S isn't a smurf for Mikael btw. He has an account to play ranked on NA servers while Ranked for EU is down if I remember correctly. Also this lobby was pretty stacked.
mirage is one of my fav heroes to play right now, I like to hyper farm with him and get ricochet as soon as possible and just mooch as many camps as i can. That and spiritual overflow really seem to work on mirage. Love the video, keep it up!
spicy take but IMO mirage is stronger if you ignore 3 entirely and build pure gun damage and use echo shard for tornado kill confirms. the fights have to be so crazy long for 3 to get value on mirage, it really does nothing on 1x, 2x, it starts doing something at 4x but its not really huge. you kinda want that 4 stacks for real value as far as killing is confirmed. feels like a lot of its damage is irrelevant tickle damage that inflates end game stat, unless your entire teamcomp is designed around long lasting fights. just going single target nuke mirage feels stronger. you can insta gib someone in a fight, and when you have echo shard you can kill 2 people quick in a fight, or 1 tank quick. imo the assassin style makes him feel more impactful. the bullet resist minus on his 2 synergizes well with it, and the 1 provides free easy headshots. i am only 2100 neko though and i know most people seem to think mirage 3 builds is the way to go, so maybe im just stupid, but i really never feel concerned when theres an enemy mirage doing that, it feels like it just doesnt matter at all, its just a really really really unthreatening version of an infernus playing with ricochet. meanwhile assassin mirages blows you up. For example in this game you did 4k damage with djinns mark, Infernus did 12k with afterburn. The gun build viscous did 4k with splatter, basically everyone who built around a skill did at least 2x as much damage as you did with djinns mark. i REALLY dont see how that is value. if you did 10k with gun, 4k with djinns, and you built for djinn, where was the value? you did 439 with ricochet, where was the value? meanwhile if you just full built gun instead you would have done 20k with gun, 1k with djinn, so sure you lost 3k djinn damage that had 0 impact anyway, but you gain 10k gun damage that probably converted to actual kills. djinns mark just seem like a complete bait build to me but considering its what mirages play in both my tier and those higher (im like top 2-3%?) maybe im just dumb? but if i play a djinns mirage build i have considerably less impact than if i just did an assassins mirage, and a lot of the damage i do deal with djinns mark is completely irrelevant as it doesnt convert to kill, instead its just padding the damage dealt stat. i can see how a djinns mirage is good in organized play if you drag out fights purposely, you basically force people to withdraw to avoid too high stacks, but in pubs? hell naw.
Im having a lot of fun playing deadlock. I only play Haze, but everytime i see you play a different character, you make me wanna try them. Keep up the good work 🙌🙏
I've been playing Mirage lately as well, but with a slightly different build, I go mystic burst into improved burst for that 7% of max health dmg, then I have quicksilver reload, it's really good early for the flat dmg, but also just having that instant reload is great since with my build I do manually pop my stacks a lot more. Then I go surge of power, again, you can pop this all the time for a basically constant movement speed boost, and then you get a ton of spirit power for your 3 and some fire rate on top of that. Last of my 4 core spirit items is boundless spirit since it just gives you so much in terms of stats. For my gun items, I like to start with restorative shot or monster rounds, then high velocity mag which builds into pristine emblem and close quarters into point blank. I also get swift striker pretty early on for fire rate, but holding off and going into burst fire or escalating resilience would also be good here. Endgame what I aim for is Point Blank, Pristine Emblem, Ricochet, Spiritual Overflow and some form of fire rate either Swift Striker, Burst Fire, or Escalating Resilience. Vitality items I try to get by with just sprint boots and extra stamina to begin with, then get bullet lifesteal and upgrade to enduring speed and superior stamina down the line... For the late game I also go leech... So now, my build might look something like this: Gun items: Point Blank, Pristine Emblem, Ricochet, Burst Fire Vitality items: Enduring Speed, Superior Stamina, Bullet Lifesteal, Leech Spirit Items: Improved Burst, Quicksilver Reload, Surge of Power, Boundless Spirit So what do you fill up the flex slots with? I go Spiritual Overflow as I mentioned earlier, and then inhibitor, and Mystic Reverb. between all this, enemies will be slowed to hell, they'll deal massively reduced damage to you and your team, and your 3 pops for like 1.3K total on multiple targets even at just 4 stacks... And the last slot is open to whatever you want I guess, you're rarely gonna get to this point anyway but something like a knockdown for a Vindicta, Curse etc. Soul Rebirth or Diviners Kevlar are all great...
Honestly, I've been feeling more and more that Mirage's thing is his scarabs rather than his mark, thanks to that sweet sweet -25% bullet resist and heal. The mark just takes so long to build up, that by the time it pops you've already downed the target with your gun, or been forced to back off.
Man, I saw the thumbnail and was like nah wtf is escalating exposure supposed to do but I would never have thought of using toxic to stack it, nuts that that works. On another note, one question I had from a lot of the gameplay is couldn’t you make farming a bit more efficiently by using the activate on your 3? Like shooting minions and camps until they’re almost dead and using 3 instead of shooting to finish, just to save a little time and ammo?
Right now Kelvin can ult the Patreon but he still freezes gardiens. Mo & Krill also can't use targeting activation items like phantom strike and silence while in borrow. He can still use warp stone
I've only tried Lash a couple games bc I kept getting huge lag spikes while in the air and missing my dive strikes (or at least getting overly stressed about it). Not something I've seen on any other char.
Feels like Mirages 3 already needs a change, 2 secs between stackings is just too long to get up. Hitcount might be a good thing here, like three hits for 3 stacks or something
Mast ive been watching you for years, i want you to do well making videos. That being said why dont you make short form content? Your highlights would make great reels! Like the 4 piece you had with lash a couple videos ago. I think you could really blow up as a deadlock streamer which is slightly sad because i loved your smite content Edit: my whole point is i think your channel could reach a lot more people with short form stuff
Gonna be honest ive seen a ton on mirage gameplay and i never see ricochet do anything. I think its better to skip and just stack one target personally
He will be broken if its literally like Twisted fate or Np from Dota 2 if they just gave him a free bind/stun like effect. Where you either choose to go in with 1 or save to escape make him more like azir from lol ngl I like the design.
Absolutely wild seeing you in a lobby with seagull! Y'all are the only deadlock creators I watch really
its also mikaelS on the shiv!
@@syu9572 😮😮😮😮
I beat you earlier today mast👀
S isn't a smurf for Mikael btw. He has an account to play ranked on NA servers while Ranked for EU is down if I remember correctly.
Also this lobby was pretty stacked.
Watching your content has allowed me to slowly but surely become more deft at the game overall, thanks love it!
Mast in smite 2: "how do you vgs 'don't worry i'll carry'"
mast in his deadlock lobbies rn: "did i do damage? not really"
You seem to be getting better at the game as you play. Great ! Have more fun watching your videos now.
Definitely, and it was refreshing to see him playing in a lobby where he was lower on the totem pole and really had to think through the plays
I'm sure he was already better at the game than you are
Been loving to deadlock content keep up the great work to make this game reach a wider audience.
mirage is one of my fav heroes to play right now, I like to hyper farm with him and get ricochet as soon as possible and just mooch as many camps as i can. That and spiritual overflow really seem to work on mirage. Love the video, keep it up!
I love how you have former Smite World Champion Venenu in this match too.
I kept hearing his voice and thought that was him

drop a build for this dad

Alternative video title: Sandman fights in the streets against the elderly
Holy shit Venenu? MikaelS? Seagull? This was a banger match ngl.
im a simple man. i see mast upload, I click
I was waiting for the Mirage! Glad to see it!!
3:20 "whats your favorite search engine?"

You have a nice gamer voice and also a very engaging playstyle.
I think the reason you like mirage’s gun but hate geists is because she shoots left handed. Same reason people didn’t like chern or amc autos
Honestly, I've been feeling more and more that Mirage's thing is his scarabs rather than his mark, thanks to that sweet sweet -25% bullet resist and heal.
The mark just takes so long to build up, that by the time it pops you've already downed the target with your gun, or been forced to back off.
Since you mentioned it a little in the video, how would a Mo & Krill Gun Build look like?
When pushing t1 towers get close and parry the towers melee attack. It'll help your minions survive longer for the push
2:18 same thing happened to me a few minutes before you uploaded this video
Oh shi u and ven on the same team getting that smite representation
Man, I saw the thumbnail and was like nah wtf is escalating exposure supposed to do but I would never have thought of using toxic to stack it, nuts that that works.
On another note, one question I had from a lot of the gameplay is couldn’t you make farming a bit more efficiently by using the activate on your 3? Like shooting minions and camps until they’re almost dead and using 3 instead of shooting to finish, just to save a little time and ammo?
Yeah, I liked the video before watching it. I just want more Deadlock. Sue me
nah fr i’ve been doing that on all the deadlock content creators lmao.
@@FunkyMaster0 Half the time I have look up the abilities of the characters just to understand what the hell is happening haha
I usually put my quicksilver on my 2, is that any better if u wanted to stack up the 3?
yea i think thats the best way if you dont want to proc mark early
We still love you mast
Mast my beloved!
Mirage glass cannon is wild
Wtf seagull!!! The TF2 legend
That game breaking shit has happened to me too on mirage after using tornado into a wall or building
Right now Kelvin can ult the Patreon but he still freezes gardiens.
Mo & Krill also can't use targeting activation items like phantom strike and silence while in borrow. He can still use warp stone
regarding doming patron, it was in the patch notes you cant do it, that is true, but it was never fixed. you have been able to do it all this time.
Is his bulbous man-bun the most distracting thing for anyone else?
Tekko-kagi !!
I've only tried Lash a couple games bc I kept getting huge lag spikes while in the air and missing my dive strikes (or at least getting overly stressed about it). Not something I've seen on any other char.
You can just do a wall jump in the corner Lash hid in to get over the bridge @ 6:23
I wonder if you'll ever cross paths with singsing?
Feels like Mirages 3 already needs a change, 2 secs between stackings is just too long to get up. Hitcount might be a good thing here, like three hits for 3 stacks or something
lagged yesterday for the first time in this game.
MORE DEADLOCK SLOP
You can check your estimated mmr on tracklock, if you want to know roughly how high you are
And you can see roughly what % of players you are
Mirage is my favorite hero right now lol. Hearing you say you hate him makes me sad.
Your card for Ammo Scavenger still says it gives 2 spirit power per stack
Mast ive been watching you for years, i want you to do well making videos. That being said why dont you make short form content? Your highlights would make great reels!

I will be heard. He sounds exactly like PM7 and it throws me off
28:31 Nice mirage ult...?
the day i land mast in a lobby imma alt+f4
you should duo with fineo!
Yeah the servers shit the bed today I froze still too earlier
no debuf reducer it pain my heart dude
Mirage kinda boring to watch unless its melee build😅 but appreciate the video!
Jeez this character is somehow both useless AND boring. Love to see the content but man.. MIRAGE. WHAT ARE YOU.
mirage was built for losers to sit allllll the way in the back and be an annoying poker.
He's definitely weird af because you both want to stack marks from insanely long range and land tornado up close
He will be broken if its literally like
Twisted fate or Np from Dota 2 if they just gave him a free bind/stun like effect. Where you either choose to go in with 1 or save to escape make him more like azir from lol ngl I like the design.
100% lol
Day 130 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
First
Snooze fest
There's no MMR btw. You can have 400+ games and get paired with people in their first 5.
that's not remotely true lmao
Oh shi u and ven on the same team getting that smite representation
