Dynamo's ult can completely determine the course of a match. If you have a competent Dynamo your teamfights should be almost completely centered around whether or not his ult is up.

Every time I see a Dynamo without Majestic Leap I become a more violent, racist person. Nigger.

This Ivy Kadzu build is so fucking fun to play

Makes your 1 a team fight win button, and also lets you farm like crazy.
I used in 3 matches so far and I was a fucking beast.
Volvo is probably nerfing this next patch, so I'll enjoy it as much as possible until then.

Shiv is pretty fuckin fun to play

I fucking love Viscous bros... When you have full spirit his 4 just rams like a truck. At first I was skeptical of giving Pango's ult to what seemed like a support but it just fits so well with his play style.

Trust the frog

I just had a match where a Viscous player was in comms doing a voice and goo puns the entire game. God speed you gooey fuck.

Update is out, no new characters this time:

https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/10-10-2024-update.36958/

- Added Ranked mode

Well, there it is. I can't wait for the entire community to go to shit.

- Replaced the temp Yamato VO with a new translation spoken by a native actress

Nice, Yamato's Japanese was really cringe.
I wonder if Ivy is final, though. Her Spanish is fucking shit.

- Guardian damage vs players increased by 20%

Good, being able to dive the tower in the first few minutes to get a kill, and still survive, was too much.

- Urn now causes the runner to be revealed on the minimap
- Heavy Melee against the urn runner now causes them to drop the urn
- Urn delivery now gives each player on your team a Golden Statue permanent buff
- Urn bounty increased by 15%
- Urn now falls down from the sky a little bit faster

Damn, they really want teams to play around Urns as much as possible. Urn runs are now going to be really scary.

- Escalating Exposure: Spirit Resist On Damage reduced from -15% to -12%
- Escalating Exposure: Amp Per Stack reduced from 6% to 5%
- Escalating Exposure: Duration reduced from 15s to 12s

That's a nerf to the Spirity Ivy build, but not as big as I had expected after they butchered my ice boy last patch.

Well, there it is. I can't wait for the entire community to go to shit.

I think it's worth mentioning that RN you have to have played 50 matches and your account must be very clean (no bans report abuse) to even access the prototype ranked which is going to be on a schedule like non bot matchmaking was previously

- Replaced the temp Yamato VO with a new translation spoken by a native actress

Kinda gonna miss old Yamato VA but I guess that also tracks with whatever they're gonna replace with Yamato since she was an old placeholder for neon prime.
However I won't forgive icefrog if he doesn't use this design in some way shape or form when Yamato finally gets her new model

 

[HP Lovecraft's Cat's Name]

Well, there it is. I can't wait for the entire community to go to shit.

Glad there's other people who think this.

Out of the redesigns, I also prefer this one the most. Grey Talon, Lash and Shiv are the only other ones who need redesigns imo. The other characters range from "could be a little bit better" (Vindicta) to completely fine (Abrams).

About the patch notes:

- Added Ranked mode

Oh boy! It's time to sweat, niggers.

You must have 50 games played in order to enter this mode. If you have any behavior related restrictions (voice/text bans, report misuse, etc), you will be unable to queue into this mode.

Thank god.

Every Tuesday at 8PM GMT we will run an algorithm that calculates everyone's performance together at the same time based on the games you've played, how the opponents you played against ended up faring in subsequent games, etc. As such, medals will only be updated once per week, to allow for analysis of a wide set of match data together at once for a more accurate review of your skill (rather than a fixed numerical addition/subtraction on a per game basis).

The most interesting thing about gauging the skill level of players is if it's about W/L ratio (I really hope that's not the case at full release) or on other multiple factors. (K/D/A, amount of souls harvested, and so on; Assists should not be neglected. If e.g. an enemy is getting stunned by you and getting shredded by your teammates, you're still directly contributing to the possible kill.)

- Added a 3rd casting mode, Quick Cast (shows range/radius/etc on key down, then on key up acts like Instant Cast). The three casting modes are now Instant Cast, Quick Cast, and Confirm Cast.

Pretty good change.

- Added input buffering for ability usage (so if you cast an ability and then quickly cast another ability during its cast time, the next one will fire instead of the input being dropped)

It will take a few matches to get used to it. It's fine though.

- Certain heroes now have a higher priority at being in dual lanes

People will very likely bitch about it soon.

Added per-player voice volume slider

Awesome. Now I can mute sweaty russians at my leisure.

- Pausing is no longer allowed in the first three minutes of the game

Unless it's E-Sports faggotry, pausing the game should be scrapped entirely.

- Urn now causes the runner to be revealed on the minimap

If all lanes are pushed and at least half of their team is dead, only then a solo urn run is safe. Otherwise you're taking a huge risk and give the enemy team a kill and the urn.
This has the potential to kick off >4vs>4 team fights pretty early in a match, if it has to be adjusted later on is yet to be seen.

I love the new Yamato voice.

Also, Mirage shouting his lungs out with an Arabic accent makes it very terrifying, and funny.

However I won't forgive icefrog if he doesn't use this design in some way shape or form when Yamato finally gets her new model

Keeping this design would be omega based.

I'm surprised how many people use voice chat in deadlock. Normally in DotA it's 3 people spamming "Well Played!" and one guy mumbling to himself with hardstyle in the background, but here people actually seem to be giving a shit.
Also, people seem a lot more chill and focused on having fun in general, although that's probably gonna change once the sweaties start taking over in ranked mode.

 

[ReceiveAndAsk]

Anyone else get the feeling that the almost entirety of the playerbase is zoomers? Are we seeing an entire generation that will grow up with this game?

Zoomers are in their 20s.

Ranked que has been quite good for me in terms of comms. Normal que's is just a crapshoot on if anyone uses comms at all. Most of my games I have been the only person on a mic and everyone else is completely silent, not even typing.

That's the worst. The best games are when people at least have some banter going on. Pings are great but they make for a very lonely match. And personally I'm much more likely to notice when someone uses their mic to say what's happening as opposed to a hero's voice line.

 

[TORtlEMUStRaNSUS]

I am glad ranked is out so all the tryhards can go play there. Let me play mo and krill in peace.
