Hiii! I’m the artist behind the art in the thumbnail. I drew that pocket fanart and I’m really glad so many people liked it. 🔥

do you have an art page 🥺
Amazing! Thank you for your work!! If you have an art page, post it!

Fem pocket skin for 20$ incoming
A client-side skin mod would be nice
when she has something big in her Pocket 🥴
I am actually floored by how informative and no-bs to the point your videos have been. Thanks a bunch, will absolutely recommend to friends!
I'm getting so tired of all the "400K DAMAGE UNTOUCHABLE BUILD (HIGH MMR) #1 NEVER SEEN BEFORE BUILD CLICK OR I KILL A PUPPY!!1!!!one!11!"
@@ConorMasterson as the hype for this game dies down and people stop content farming it, we will inevitably see more high quality videos like the kind this channel produces. there used to be a lot of slop for league of legends a few years ago when people didn't take the game as seriously, but there's a ton of high-quality educational/coaching content for the game now. i think deadlock will witness a similar outcome.
This was a very good gameplay analysis/tut. *However*, there is a very big inherent misconception that you display here. See, in reality, when playing as Pocket, you're supposed to constantly abandon your teammates, overextend, and jacket tp behind enemy lines because you are a god and nothing can hurt you. Remember: If you are ever killed for any reason ever, you can simply accuse the enemy team of cheating. This is the way of the Pocket. (Jokes aside, nice vid.)
Sinner's Sacrifice machines now guarantee a single golden statue buff for taking one out. Well worth going out of your way to farm them.
As a new MOBA player Deadlock is the only one that’s ever actually caught and held my attention, so these videos are a huge help
wheres the girl pocket fanart from? asking for a friend
Seconding, would love the source

@@Chimeychimes Thanks!!
asking to jerk off to it
i'd like to see an analysis covering some of the key points of what you can do when
a. everyone on the team is playing from behind
b. when you have a lead but everyone else on your team is behind
and c. how to make things easier for your team when they have a lead but your behind
How to play from behind is a really important topic I feel a lot of people have little knowledge on. Thanks for the idea! There's plenty to talk about there.
@@Chimeychimes I second this, a common problem I have is I find it easy to make the correct decisions when I'm ahead and rarely throw a lead away. Although I can capitalize well on my leads I notice the enemies provide much more resilience than I do when they have the lead. My games feel either stomp or get stomped as a result and I'd like to keep them close
trying to play from a personal lead while your team is behind is so awful. you have to buy situational items to protect yourself, but you have no flex slots. it sucks so bad and it's the most tilting part of this game for me.
I also love that you refer to the haze thing simply as "the play." Real Hazers understand.
This is a really solid, strong, and approachable video that actually takes its time to explain and elaborate. I couldn't agree more with your last sentence-it feels like people are chasing some sort of 'gold rush' with videos, one that I’m not entirely sure actually exists. In any case, it’s really refreshing to see an informative video that matches my current skill level
A few things I noticed:
- I'd recommend to work a little on movement, a bit more basic sliding, wall jumping, etc, the game truly becomes a different game when you start to master movement, especially after you get majestic leap you could easily shop at secret without having to go back to base on multiple occasions
- When running to check on the enemy lanes try to steal their boxes
- Always remember to press reload before going in satchel as it fully reloads the gun, no matter the time spent inside
Otherwise excellent analysis
Another banger, thank you for the well constructed and informative vids!
Small note I noticed in the gameplay at 17:10 is that in your home base you don't have to stand directly in the shop's area to buy, you can buy from anywhere within spawn. Awesome video though! It'll definitely help me play better
wait a minute, YOU made the crackhead pocket build!
thank you for helping me win some games even as a learning pocket player
For real, it's helped me click with pocket so much too!
i audibly oughed, thank for more poket guides i love my poket
8:17 Lisa the pointless has taught me, that the mere suggestion of something happening can be enough.
Solid video! I agree with a lot of your decision making. One thing for pocket specifically: if you hit 3 or 4 barrage stacks you can be a little more aggressive thanks to the damage amp. If 2 or less hit, it’s okay to play passive. I think you could have locked down a few more kills than you did with just a bit more aggression knowing when it’s okay to dive.
I’d also recommend when you’re chasing that you satchel before you TP to cloak more often, so that the satchel burst happens immediately when you teleport and you can focus on unloading shotgun into them. Your TP into then pressing satchel and popping it looks a little slow and clumsy sometimes.
IMO the miscommunication on mid boss versus guardians was a misplay, mid boss is the more valuable play there.
Solid VOD review, thanks for sharing!

absolutely stellar series of videos, thank you for this rich and focused analysis
love your vids, very entertaining while maintaining that somewhat dry tone that is really effective at conveying information.
for the record i clicked on this video for the information and not for the thumbnail. that being said great video.
Commentaries like this are much better than those "guides" that only show a winning game without anything.
I wanna say thank you. Your build has taught me how to play pocket and what the items do against other characters. thanks for teaching
Bro created a better presentation than my marketing final grade assignment
May i have the source for the Pocket fanart on the thumbnail please 🧐
Let me start by saying this is the best educational channel on deadlock I've seen so far, amazing content and your decision-making skills are great, love hearing the explaining and reasoning behind all the decisions as my moba skills still aren't the sharpest, if I may give a little bit of criticism though on the gameplay, it seems like movement is your more lacking skill in deadlock, sliding especially early before leap would help you get a lot extra movement speed/free shots in, sliding on enemy steps while shooting their turret also would let you get a free 4-5ish bullets before having to reload. I also don't know when this vod is from so I don't know if wall jumping was in the game yet but a quick wall jump in your rotates for example at 25:21 could let you keep your height and rotate much faster. Overall though amazing gameplay and great character knowledge, love the content!
Love the vids. Turns out i was messing up by being too focused on gun stuff with Pocket. Can't wait to try in a match.
I wish every hero had content creators like you
love the pocket vids, really helped me out a lot on my pocket keep it up
I'd love to get your impression on when to use your abilities to farm and when to save them as pocket, as well as any general advice on when to start going for tier 3 camps
Pocket spammer here. T1 jungle camps you can easily burst with 3 right at the 2 minute mark. I would save them if farming the enemy sides jungle camps if I don't feel safe, for example enemies missing off the map. If I know where they are I would feel safer and use my judgement to decide if I can engage or not. (Yes = use them, no = save them, barring 1). T3 jungle camps always use so keep that in mind if you don't plan to engage within the next 30 seconds. Once you have low cooldown with improved cooldown + kevlar you can spam them anywhere without much worry. (Provided you also have mobility items like kinetic dash/warpstone/leap).
Why pocket kinda....
Fem pocket pleases me greatly, I made it my Discord profile pic by screenshotting the thumbnail. Looking forward to watching the guide when I get home, your last guide helped me a bunch! Hollow Point Ward is so clutch for laning and has made me way more successful
Realizing Pocket is not a brawler is how I got my winrate with them to be above 50%. Pocket is an opener and a closer, no in between. Sure, if you're 10k ahead of the enemy you can do anything you want, but in an even game, or even a losing game, the ideal engagement with Pocket is to swoop in and hit 2 or 3 with your ult, and dive back to safety, then your team moves in. After healthbars and cooldowns are depleted, you swoop in again, just in time majleap is off cooldown, and pick off the weak ones. Itemization is also important as Pocket can be a counter to a lot of annoying heroes in the game.
Great video with excellent points, thanks man
very wise and strong teaching, well done !
15:18 when you talk about playing more to get a good feel for how much damage you do, and you're right, experience can help here. But this is a scenario where watching other people's vods and seeing how much damage they are doing with similar power level compared to their opponent. It's important to know what is possible.
I should definitely play more games before people realize ganking is a thing. I can't believe they just let you sit under their tower for 5 mins.
In my last game I got ganked 3 times for keeping my laner under their tower. Idk what games you’re playing but tanking definitely happens. Was ganked by 3 different ppl too. They were probably queueing as a party tbf.
@@sackout2947yea but any other moba you would get punished hella hard for over extending, in deadlock bcuz there’s a lot of people who don’t play mobas a ton in lower to mid elo, it’s not punished as often as it should be.
Nice! This was an awesome video, really informative
now my question is what do you do when you are on the other side being poked the entire time ?
i didnt know i need female pocket
Pocket technically uses they/them anyways. It's funny, when playing with my brother he accidentally uses he/him sometimes and I accidentally use she/her sometimes. I don't even know why I do that, they have peach fuzz facial hair but w/e
@@madeofmandrake1748 brain rotted
@@madeofmandrake1748 and yet, all the characters in the game call him a pretty boy
I deem the thumbnail pocket: hot pocket
Just a lil feedback , please change the bg for the slides part of the vid. the plain white BG is like a flashbang next to Deadlock's not so bright in-game lighting ^^;; this is probably just a me problem but just wanna let you know
incorporate sliding more into your movement…. and at 17:30 , you should come out of satchel mixed with your cloak. word of advice is to come out of satchel with M1 because you shoot a shot upon the burst.
I learned a lot from your videos, thank you
Is ur pocket build public also would u consider to cover any viewers gameplays ?
I may have been following builds wrong, I try to get every 500/1250 item listed then start getting more picky with the 3k+ items but I see you just choose which ones to go with on the fly. Also all the unspent skillpoints driving me crazy lol
Clicked hoping for brainrot flexing with pocket and brainless talking, ended up having neuron activated for some super detail almost university course level of moba analysis. Keep up the good word king absolutely gonna sub! Despite I main Viscous, Mirage and Seven.
ayo the thumbnail 😳
Can you PLEASE make a MOBA fundamentals that translate to deadlock please please please? It’s really hard to find videos like that, and most of the ones are too league or dota specific. For example , a concept like freezing waves, other things like that you could/should do in deadlock
Hi new pocket main here do you reccommend going unstoppable or ethereal shift when the enemy is severely locking in on you with silencer, silencing bullets, geist 2 and other silencing abilities
I've enjoyed your videos while learning Pocket! Quick feedback, about 1/3 through the video your mic audio got significantly quieter. Generally you're very quiet so just keep that in mind! Keep up the good work :)
Your videos are awesome thank you
0:39 banger images
is there like a guide on which item to replace getting into late game? I'm not sure what times to keep that I buy during mid game. I sell warp stone for more damage when I feel I don't need mobility, but I think I should hold on to soul shredder bullets but maybe sell mysthic shot/kinetic dash for other items. I also sell boots later in the game too but i don't exactly know what to replace
Valve needs to release girl pocket persona ASAP
might be nitpicking, couldn't help but notice you not trying to steal the orbs off your guardian when it died, these are giga value when died
pocket + viscous in laning phase? a lash that doesn't even roll out? man gg..
Players like you legitimately scare me. Assessing every move their opponent makes. Analyzing how good you are and pushing right from the getgo. I mean I respect it, I'm just not at that level. I'm very happy my duo partner will just have random, unpredictable monkey moments of rushing in and hitting 5 headshots in a row, clearing out the lane for some time.
What other MOBAs did you play before this?
A solid overview of more macro topics like when to fight or what to do, but in my opinion a lacking display of micro decisions. Lots of afflictions in the early game gave very little value and a large reliance on your escape tools for damage left you in situations that were potentially punishable, especially if the other lanes had actually decided to roam. I also dislike your stance on teamfights, pockets ult lends itself to initiating the fight, escaping, then coming back when its duration is running out to actually clean up the fight
how do you play from behind when they have 1 or 2 slowing hexes?
i think snowballing like this is all about being solid
im a simple man
i see someone gender pocket correctly and i subscribe
Your lack of sliding drives me crazy but otherwise good video
Appreciate a guide that isnt top .01% player
amazing vid
Okay guys we need to rally and riot for Pocket to be female
Who is that character in the thumbnail?
25:53 lol poor mirage
What is this picture at :25 😐
Good vid

what the heck girl pocket
Cool beans
Good gameplay analysis, but I don't think this really informs anyone on how to carry your games, which is what the thumbnail says. You're teaching good fundamentals, but it's not illustrative of carrying, since you didn't carry - you were just a good player on a team of players who were broadly better than their opponents. I'd be interested to see your analysis of how to carry when your team is awful, because I've gone 20/0 and taken walker at 6 minutes only to lose way too many times and my own analysis of how to fix it isn't going anywhere.
An unfortunate fact of MOBA is that some games genuinely are just unwinnable. If you get stuck with 5 monkeys who have no idea what they're doing, you can't take all 6 enemies alone and the game is designed around that. You'll never be able to carry solo in a 6v6 where the item Curse exists. Realistically, 40% of your games are free wins and 40% are auto losses, with 20% being games you can win if you make the right choices. To improve at MOBA and win more you need to focus on being consistent so that those 20% of games are wins. Sadly, there is no trick to winning with bad teammates short of just remote desktoping into their PC and playing for them. Bad players also tend not to listen.
You CAN do everything right and still lose, which is why this game and other team shooters have reputations for toxic communities, and why this genre doesn't click with a lot of people. Personally, I think it's mandatory to have a cool head at all times and let the losses wash over you, and accept them for the the inevitability that they are. The point is to not focus on any one single game, but nail fundamentals to make sure in the bigger picture you're performing well enough that you bring more games to a victory than not.
Don't fret it too much anyway, the game is still in alpha and everyone's learning - so plenty of people are going to suck. There's no rank to lose or gain so use this time before the game is optimised to experiment a bit and have fun. While winning is the goal, long term it's not getting you anything tangible, your priority first and foremost should be to enjoy playing Deadlock.
All true! In those terms, what I was saying is I think the game used as an example here was of the free win category, and it'd be interesting to see analyses of the 20% where your decisions actually flipped the balance. I have plenty of those myself too of course, but would be interesting to see if you do anything differently.
The Pocketussy made me click
isn't pocket a guy ?
Pocket is nonbinary!
