IVY got a new design
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK BABE
Deadlock ""leak""
Please be fake
Anon Babble will pretend a majority of them didnt draw Ivy this way
lmao
Please be fake
im sorry anon
It's real, streamer accidentally started up the wrong client and then pretended the stream crashed.
thats true
Sex.
M-Mommy Geist...
Marriage, sex, handholding even
yamato is STILL fucking neon prime assets
JUST
she looks like she probes human men
Theres nothing wrong with having a big head
nu-ivy is made for smooching
I wonder if they're still debating how her yakuza shtick will look.
return the iconic wide mouth
I don't like the rat mouth
ivy comes to life as ugly gargoyle
realizes her appearance is offputting and can't get a job
decides to use some occult magic to change her appearance a bit
Shit's not that hard to justify.
Someone on Anon Babble posted this.
too bad, the future is now loser. Bes you can hope for is them adding a legacy skin for fedora lords.
Actually looks like her model now.
OFF MODEL FANART WON
tip wraith's hat forward and add a lock of hair on the side
she instantly looks better
all the troons are seething at the Ivy change
Good.
tell us more >:3
I miss her already
there was something special about her
This is the fakest thread
The guy who said they are making a risk of rain 2 clone set in the deadlock universe was probably lying but I will belive him anyways because I am on hopium
It's almost like she's supposed to be a gargoyle or something
Reminder Ivy and Lash are a couple.
hopoo is on the deadlock team
i wouldn't be surprised desu
Sorry Ivyfags but Valve has spoken.
Cutebros won. Goblinacucks lost.
Her beautiful, caring and feminine personality managed to make her looks a complete non-issue and even a bous to some. Crazy how Ivy's personality makes her look beautiful but Vyper is ugly both inside and out.
There are going to be ENDLESS Vyper simps once she gets updated and she looks like a blowhard tomboy medusa.
Valve will never recover from this injustice.
You are worthless motherfucker
The new models are adopting the Visual Novel designs more. Most noticeable with Adams, Geist, and Dynamo
of besties
*Monsterfucker
Vyper sounds like the butchest, manliest j*rsey dyke I've ever heard. Her personality is just as awful I can't really see anyone simp for that gross bitch unless they really hate themselves.
I don't think that's entirely true, Mcginnis looks completely different now.
dynamos mugshot looks nothing like that
dynamo gonna look like that
they gave Ivy a shirt
IT'S RUINED
accidentally
valve had him "leak" this so they could gauge the reaction
How is this game supposed to be successful when they've blown any possible marketing with the closed beta BS? Having a second faggy streamer online in-group client for your closed BETA is insane
where?
Depends if they make her cute too.
they haven't put a dime into marketing yet thoughbeit
You mad men memed cute ivy into existence.
They higher resolution OP's picture show the outline of a white shirt
Yes but now the dimes won't matter because no one will give a fuck
'haha oopsie' meanwhile his followers double overnight, nice accident
Boho
Cute.
Bookworm
Sex.
Vampire Bat
SEX.
I don't know wether to feel happy or disgruntled about this.
There may be a mod to replace her model with the previous one. That would be nice.
when are they adding my boy
and give him a market gardener
I want to beat my opponents into the dust with movement tech alone
SECOND streamer leak
valve are having him killed right
cant wait when someone mods it and change his skin to soldier
nta, but look again because there is no outline.
I dont see it its probably still her skin, people also thought she was using one during the first leaks a year ago
I can't take someone with a penis head seriously
We A-posing now? Deadlock is copying TF2.
Kawaii Ivy
draw the two ivys meeting eachother
captcha ar0ma
Did you draw this, anon? Blog?
probably turned into skyrunner
Posting it again
Kek
haha Ivy is so ugly
keep drawing her a cutie
Valve makes her actually cute
AIIIIEEEEEEEEEE MAKE HER UGLY AGAIN
Not everybody here thinks that way.
Ivy was cute the way she was. Her new design is cute but her voice won't do the uplifting, it will be her face to do that job. It's hard to explain but her being ugly enough that her personality had to step in to beautify her is attractive.
You'd need to be a monsterfucker to get it.
Infernus's icon looks like a regression
The term, Anon, is "gap moe"
gap moe
Isn't it the exact opposite? I thought it was just cute anime girls with big eyes.
It's the same as before?
hey babe i think your face is fugly
While the site was down I decided to check out reddit and found this. Ugly Ivy is peak
you're thinking of moe, gap moe is something like a cute girl having an uncute personality which in turn makes it cuter. see: anime NEET girls
super complex shooter
Nobody's gonna come back
She's very pretty. c:
Yeah. Gemini already gave me a brief explanation. I suppose I should've guessed it given that it has "gap" in the name.
NEET girls
No, that's impossible. That is antimoe. No gap moe whatsoever.
i put anime in there for a reason real NEET girls are either plain ugly or are so severely mentally ill you will be eaten alive and your legacy will be erased from history
shoot thing
It doesn't immediately die
I'M GOING INSANE
I thought his rimlight was white colored like everyone else but it really seems to be colored entirely red huh
I think the old design was a bit too ugly
It fit better as a gothic gargoyle come to life but it was also just not marketable
but what we've got now is too far in the other direction
so much of ivy's appeal was in being a beautiful ray of sunshine locked behind a frightening stone visage, the gap made her stand out more
now she's just a generic pixar cute monster and while that might be easier for advertising it hurts her in game presentation
somewhere in the middle would be better
the contrast sharpens and intensifies it. a little girl that cowers during thunderstorms is moe. a stoic, battle-scarred warrior woman that cowers during thunderstorms is gap moe
actually let's be real that's an *and/or
When she uses the stone form ability she becomes ugly again
Yea
It's an illustration, the same one that was in the game since last year.
alright here's the important question, did they get rid of that awful side shave shit
I love how trannies got pissed at that ability being called "True Form" so they changed it to "Stone Form" after someone complained about it on the discord to the devs
if they just gave her huge heaving chest boulders less of them would have tried to self insert into her
That's a shame, true form sounds way cooler.
I genuinely dont get the Ivy obsession, I assume its similar to the guys that wanna fuck pokemon
DEIsigns
shan't
I don't give a shit about this game, but still...
ruined
Anon Babble likes ivy because theyre as ugly as her
A bellhop based hero is pretty tight. Does he have, like, elevator powers or throw luggage?
its not bad
current dynamo is too goofy looking
Priest hero
Absolutely based.
More like Anon Babble likes her only because she's supposed to be a female and Anon Babbletards are gigacoomers. If Ivy was a male Anon Babbleaggots wouldn't even care about Deadlock
don't care, still playing NYPD
Closer look at the full McG model
hmm.
im going insane or they buff her hips?
she's literally been screaming "STONE FORM" since game came out
why's her head so small
She cute
heavy weapons gal
uglycoal won. one artist changing an entire games fate. what did you do today, anon?
POST MORE
I dig the gun.
Really liked Seven's gun and wanted to see more stylised.
BRING MY IVY BACK
THAT'S NOT MY IVY
AAAAAAHHHHH
OMG!!! ITS HEAVY TF2 (female) !!!
formerly irresistible
Valve needs to pull the plug on this dogshit MOBA slop and make Team Fortress 3
Why didn't they just try to make her look more like her portrait? This looks way too stylized
Overall in improvement
They're making the whole game more stylized.
vindicta nerf
Hopefully they do something about the dull as fuck map.
Of course they will.
reducing the head hitbox is a nerf
?
THIS
stopped playing when they made the game a three-lane-slop like any other retarded assfaggots game
hopefully we're gonna be back to 4 or better yet 5 lane map
yes. character that relies on getting headshots is nerfed by reducing head hitbox.
it's really simple. you retarded maybe?
you'll NEVER hear MIKU GUINNESS ever again
bros...
Why? I want Valve style, not Marvel Rivals style.
It's so fucking over
SOVLLESS
4 was interesting but 3 stops the outer lanes having one guy who never asks for help and feeds because they can't handle a 1v1.
I wouldn't mind both being available, it shouldn't be a 1 map game
I think the game needs one more dynamic objective to get people going.
that retarded e-celeb that end up spending almost a year making a 30 minute video of how good 4 lanes improve gameplay and using deadlock as primary example
it shouldn't be a 1 map game
no shootan should be
but we're talking about assfaggots game here
it's most likely going to be one map
The ASSFAGGOTS mode will never get another map but custom game support and casual maps should take care of everything else.
nigger, what are you saying? there isn't enough time to do all the shit in the game as it, literally no time to breathe during the match
there's no room for more objectives
Monsterfuckers will hang and go to hell
Good God please I want to fuck the demons until they make me leave the more horrific the better
She went from looking like to being blasian. What a fucking downgrade.
We already have team deathmatch, capture the flag, farming simulator, mirrors edge and DotA going on. What else can you squeeze in there?
what?
remove the faggot ass jungle and you'll have plenty of room
this shit doesn't belong in a shooter
They'd fingerfuck your prostate, you gigantic homo
it's not a shooter its a third person moba
or assfaggots if you prefer that
go play CS2 for head clicky game
it's a shooter
you shoot
assault and secure
Blasian? She just looks like notRosie.
Wait, they finally got the now that sex sells?
There maybe hope for this game afterall.
idk i don't think she looks blasian
and the old in-game model looked like a baby
you shoot in tile matching games, are those also shooters?
lash still have no eyeball
Based hope it stay like this forever
Overwatchification.
What a shame. Her being ugly and fearsome looking gargoyle just made her sweet nature stand out more
Every single ASSFAG of note has multiple modes so you can play it more like a brawler/party game
Most of them have alternate maps to accompany those other modes
Elaborate and what stops a character with a big lingering AoE from winning that unlike the urn where the runner is speed locked and silenced
items
Pixarification*
Wait it's back to closed beta? I mean everyone and their mom got invites and that ruined shit as all the esports fags jumped in
they will hide em behind bushy eyebrows 100%
MOBA game mode
How about you fix that shit first
valve never wanted "open" beta. some faggot leaked the game and they rolled with it, which was a mistake that they realized and fixed now
It's both you retard
No assfag has all the movement mechanics and precise aim of deadlock and no shooter has all the item builds and macro game of it either. It you cant move and aim then you'll suck dick the same as if you dont know how to counterbuild.
He closest comparison is Monday night combat, not any shit like smite
character
is a team game mode...
It's both
it really is not and only someone who doesn't understand either can say otherwise
your disingenuous argument sounds like comparing moba to rts and I'm not going to entertain such retardation
Nothing about how Deadlock has been tested was intentional, dude. They are currently running two distinct playtests because Anon Babble farming the invites completely ruined the original playtest. There is a reason why the "main" playtest hasn't gotten a meaningful update since last year, and the extra private playtest has double the heroes and overhauled graphics.
Well? Are one of you fucks going to leak more of the secret club build?
its supposedly back to having a proper secret alpha where only people that give feedback are allowed
which makes sense considering that when the floodgates got open many people went in expecting a finished game for some reason and didn't bother giving any feedback
no one here has it, retard.
IT'S SO FUCKING OVER
is only for some streamers, somehow they always choose the most retarded ones that always leak everything
So what about the people who are already in? Did they get kicked out?
This thing is so fucking goofy It's hilarious they fixed porno gremlin that was already loved instead of this abomination that literally nobody has ever drawn
no but the main client isn't getting content updates anymore
no they can still play it, they are just not part of the new secret club unless they meet whatever requirements valve set to be in
Is Ivy really that big or did they fuck up the model sizes? I thought she was a little gremlin thing
Deadlock has a secret club playtest again
suddenly Anon Babble is interested in it again
Fucking hipsters.
I need to see the new model in game before a freakout is warranted, but yeah I don't like it.
Of course she objectively looks cuter and lots of people were drawing her like this anyway, but there was a novelty to the cute art by virtue of it deviating from her official look even with the map icon and I expect she'll be much more pigenholed in fanart going forward with this design.
TWO SHIVS
consider her standing posture and the addition of an elevated stool
now i will play your game
yeah no shit we want to go back to playing with normal people and not retarded russians
catgirl notwithstanding
EIGHT BLEED STACKS
I have not played Deadlock since October. I enjoyed the game, but I hope it gets into a stable state soon. I know it's still alpha but I don't want it to become some meme game like current Dota where the entire game changes every 8 months to appease retards obsessed with change for change's sake.
map icon
if some fag got into the secret club please tell me they got rid of those and returned to simple arrows, they look fucking awful and i hate them so much
They fucked up the eyes!!
Her creepy glowing demon eyes were one of the best parts!
Sex with Boho.
But the gap moe... Why did they make her mouth so tiny.....
why does it matter
you can mod the game and bring the arrows back
same with character models
The original Deadlock artstyle suited more for a Team Fortress 3 dudebro game sequel or something. Let's be real. The game doesn't offer steampunk aesthetics with dirty yet undesrstandable character backgrounds. This OG Pixar artstyle approach is much better because of that alone. Leave nu Pixar shit out of any picture forever.
I can feel it the haters are gonna get BTFO so hard those redesign actually look great
characters are fucking ugly and 99% of the playerbase leaves
make the characters look great
the 1% of the playerbase that stayed loudly complains that the characters look pretty now
vampirebat
boho
bookworm
Yep Valve is gonna bath in cash for their swimsuit skins.
have they added more hard carries? it was fucking boring having seven and haze be in every single match
I don't wakt them wasting time in ugly icons since they got rid of some flr that exact reason anyways (vindicta, geist and others)
dota has the option to use icons, arrows, or "switch between icons and arrows by holding alt"
can't imagine deadlock wouldn't have something simiolar
So essentially the old Beta/Alpha whatever you call it is now just a demo with no more updates and the secret ver. Is the dev build with updates n such?
Shame. I wished they'd at least finish Yamatos redesign with a last update for the non secret version before they went off quarantining themselves.
i like the new eyes way more but yeah, she'd hit my sweet spot if she had the frog mouth
wide is cute
She's about 6ft when she stands up straight
No womanlet here
GUYS what if cute Ivy is just how she is when she's trying to fit in because she's trying to be non-threatening but when she fights she goes full goblin mode?
It will
Why is Frankenstein's Monster a fucking pretty boy Fabio?
99% of the playerbase leaves
It's an alpha test with no skinner box mechanics. Everyone was bound to leave.
Valve is basing Ivy's look on fanart now
Will they inflate her ass too?
Overcorrection from everyone calling the roster ugly
Vyper isn't someone I'd ever want to know, but she IS funny
Oh-ho-ho, I can get somethin' nice, and also not have to steal it!
I may not be able to spell 'pentrification', but neither will they after I turn 'em into a rock!
Shiv's like the filet mignon of bladework. Me, I'm more like the takeout from the greasy spoon diner down the road you get when you're wasted at midnight, but then when you sober up you realize you don't actually want to finish it, you know? Flawed, but loveable.
If Valve actually made RoR 2 in Deadlock i.e. Aghanim's Labyrinth in Dota 3, the game is going to be the next big thing.
game was a secret
gets leaked
is now an open closed alpha
there's another secret even-more-alpha client
what the fuck
Someone unlock the secret alpha that gives viper enormous bloated tits that hang down to her waist please
I hope the Priest has a shotgun.
Also I hope he's Catholic and I want to know how the Vatican/Christianity plays its part in the Deadlockverse.
im gonna miss her so badly
they realized not all feedback is good
particularly coming from retarded compfag thirdies
compfag
Literally the target audience.
how the Vatican/Christianity plays its part in the Deadlockverse.
I think some of the radio broadcasts namedropped Vatican specifically
nothing says they wont put out an update with models or important changes for the main client after some months, but yeah the newer one is the one that will get most of the updates or exoerimental changes for now
yamato just had a couple of designs shared like 7 months ago no way they have something resembling a mofel now unless someone in the new client
conforms it
Change the design of the ONE character that has 100 pages of fanart already
Literally what the fuck is Valve doing holy shit lmao
like come on this face is about 20% off from the redesign you guys wanted this, you didn't like those shallow dead fish eyes
Wait really? You mean the radio host?
which way western man?
yes, and? compfags are not game designers
they're more akin to animals that want to run on treadmill for the epeen number to go up
They're changing the design to make it more similar to the assloads of fanart.
I want her to be able to shift between those extremes at will
The newsstands got lil radios that drop lore. There's probably a Youtube video with all of those extracted.
how can they be so short sighted
NIGGA
It is spelled "nigger", retardbro...
not dissing the art, but I fucking hate this shit so much.
Fuck the Deadlock team, somehow have burned and kept burning any and all goodwill I had toward their game.
based
What happened to Ivy's snout?
new models are so different that it seems like they brought some more artists on board and they have their own idea what Deadlock should be.
everyone talking about ivy, miku, the snake even yamato that still uses a neon prime model
not a single peep about gay talon still looking like shit
Every notch on this slider is great. No chipmunks please
Yes I just think its funny that the complaints that Ivy looks attractive now are so loud.
Geist doesn't just appeal to hagfags anymore.
Ivyfags got what they wanted after spammig so much offmodel art.
McGinnis looks like Rosie the Riveter.
Dynamo seems sort of the sameish.
And Pocket looks even more like a hobo on the run.
compfags provide a steady form of revenue and playerbase but they're tiny. You want the game to be appealing to the average player for the truly explosive numbers and longevity. Lean too hard into the compfag angle and you're left with a game that has 1000 diehards and nobody else, which isn't enough to keep the lights on.
Whoops wrong side by side.
why didn't Anon Babble have a melty over Pocket being non-binary?
Arin Fairfax, the eldest heir to Fairfax Industries, has been living in hiding for the past 5 years after being shot and left for dead on their 18th birthday. Arin doesn't know who is trying to keep them from taking control of their parent's company... but in the avarice fueled viper's nest that is Fairfax Industries it could be anyone. Taking on the name "Pocket", Arin desperately wants to keep their true identity a secret… not only for their own protection; but because they want to forge their own identity separate from their parents.
I want to breed Vampirebat
When I see Talon I think of nothing more than the sound of an arrow hitting me and the heavy impact sound when your character loses a lot of HP
It'll take a miracle to get me think of that old rat piece of shit in any other way
Don't worry, it only looks like that because you're looking at her straight on. When she turns her head to the side you'll see they actually increased the length of her snout to 3 feet long.
reminds me of those lens demonstration videos that show the exact same frame but with different focus
wish I had some on me to post
mcginnis and pocket are downgrades
The visual novel still calls Pocket a he.
stale bait even back in the day
she's literally perfect now
gaming is healing
Every single one of these is an improvement
Boho
Bookworm
Vampirebat
My dick can only take so much
That lore is LITERALLY IN-GAME RIGHT NOW
everyone call Pocket "they" everywhere
Ivy
Really not sold on it but not gonna lose my shit till I see how different her actual model is
Geist
About the same
Miku Guinness
Ehhhh
About the same
Wraith
Way better
Dynamo
Same character from a different angle lol
Thats patently untrue
gaming is healing
Unironically though. They seem to be leaning away from quirky, less attractive female face shapes into just straight up attractive female designs. Lady Geist makes it as clear as day. Gamers won.
can't wait for Drifter X Doorman fanfiction
They killed Ivy and replaced her with Olivia for real now
Don't believe her lies
They seem to be leaning away from quirky, less attractive female face shapes into just straight up attractive female designs.
new McGinnis
i like frankesteins monster so i hope frank is fun to play and if possible not a tank
Cartoon squash-and-stretch animation active when using Stone Form
Strictly for comedy of course
Drifter is clewrly wolfmanish and beastly
Vampirebat is a vampire goth
YOU JUST KNOW
Make new Ivy model for broad appeal
Day 1, release old Ivy model as a skin for her for free
This is all it would take to placate me.
case in point
old mcguns looked barely female, this one at least looks like a chick from "we can do it" poster
I've never played the game only jacked off the ivy
I am satisfied
Does she still have a cock at least?
str*ight
eww
40 fucking characters
I thought this was a hero shooter? Valve is absolutely crazy to try to launch a game with a starting roster that big. Just focus on a smaller group and get the game out already. It feels like it's been in alpha for years.
if pocket looked had a less exaggerated hair it would be better
wraith looks cooler and it has very few changes
dynamo is getting closer to the VN look but i guess they are not giving him the lightbulb head he has there
I've played it
It's shit
MOBAs suck
I'd play it if it had an Arena like mode, or an ARAM mode
Basicallly, I would play it if it wasn't a MOBA
It's like, you know Ivy is objectively better, but the old one had a charm that only works when you combine her entire being including voice and lore.
I thought this was a hero shooter?
You thought incorrectly
It's always been a TPS dota at heart
so the whole appeal of the ugly rat is that ugly rats identify with it
she actually has hair now
It's an alpha. Why not try out different designs? They can easily change back.
it's a moba, if anything it doesn't have enough to launch yet
only jacked off the ivy
I am satisfied
I have no argument so I'm going to feign superiority then leave
Its both
Lady Geist is a gross old woman
I still like the idea of pocket being the frog in the briefcase. The guys just a puppet.
devs use placeholder assets in alpha product
the placeholders get replaced
people are surprised or something
I kinda hate early access games since the conversation around it is so bad
I'm sold on Bookworm. She looks like she does anal on the first date.
708742416
dead bait and deconfirmed ages ago thanks to dialogue
Because retards treat then current beta as final version.
Sure, Dota released on nearly same state but valve make sure to port nearly whole game from get go, deadlock is being made from scratch.
They really are turning Pocket into a tranny, huh? I WILL masturbate to Boho, Vampirebat, and Bookworm, however. Mikuginnis upgrade too.
Okay the new guys actually look a lot less ass
old style was fine wraith is better tho mcginnis is a massive downgrade pocket is cool ivy lost her charm
placeholders are not generally designed to the extent the old models were if we're being fair
wraith looks so much better holy shit
If the design exists and then is changed to a new design thats not a placeholder, thats a shift in artistic direction which people who were granted access are free to have an opinion on you intellectually dishonest fuck
i hope they use the old model for porn
dear god they're adding rocket jumping to moba, STOP THEM
For months someone's been making those hate threads, claiming it's abandoned and the map/models were final. Even lash without any eyes.
There's no point arguing with them either, the frame of mind can't understand change even when shown evidence.
I don't mind cute ivy but this is too much for my liking. Make her more monster if you have to make a new model.
Holy shit GAME SAVED
I just want to see what the guns will look like
I like this so far
work in progress
What's the source of this drawing?
Her having a cute face combined with the flat chest makes her feel like a loli now
enhance
They made Pocket look like that eboy wojak
Ivy got a grindstone job done to look cuter and younger
I wish Hollywood would stop brainwashing Gargoyles about beauty standards
based and same
wonder if seven's model is final
goodbye my stone angel
She looks fat
Game got clogged with those retards, elo and ranked is broken, something that devs themselves said yet they take it as proof of skill.
Shit is really bad, no wonder they are doing a proper closed beta from now.
you didn't like those shallow dead fish eyes
Speak for yourself, nigger. I liked her original eyes.
Like picrel? I doubt it, but I wouldn't mind.
i hope it stays or has minimal changesz its unique
im interested in vindicta's gun and how it will look like
TSMT
looks fat (good)
Ivy looks like this pic now.
It needs more heroes. Dota (5v5) has 100+ heroes. Do the math. Deadlock (6v6) will need 120 to match Dota.
take that makeup off and slap some grease on that pig
she is cute though
lol they literally DEI-sterilized the game now the girls look actually cute
This is exactly what I said Valve should have done. Slowly go back to a private playtest.
Right because I'm unironically not a furry.
this is perfect
I'd a Victica, Boho and Bookworm.
Goodbye...
Ivo...
mèdòth thìnkèth yòn læighdægh pròtèst tòòth mùkk
Need to see the new Geist model in game
Pocket used to just be fucking Prince and they changed that? What the hell
14 female heroes out of 40 heroes
game is dead on arrival
Marvel Rivals success made Valve realize hot women do sell games
Shocking
Are these the new and Improved AIsloppa models?
Because there was that one Valve artist working on Deadlock who got interviewed by some russian dude and he talked about using AI models to generate concept art
Better late than never I'd say.
Because the original design is fine, it just needed cleaned up some, maybe better texture work.
Now they've just made her a generic cartoony caricature that vaguely resembles the original character. She looks more like a fucking mouse than a gargoyle now, and stylistically doesn't match the rest of the characters or world.
The idea of using a hallucinating machine to create only the base of a monster sounds fine so long as you purge any errors from it. No company would go from conception to full release with a design that can't be redrawn accurately from multiple angles for the full reference.
lol wtf is valve doing with this game the old style where it was darker tone was fine now you abandon that for this cartoony shit
new mcginnis is a massive downgrade, why is she wearing makeup
Old Mcginnis was based on her old scifi design.
i thought everyone loved tf2
I gave extensive feedback about how makeup makes women hotter youre welcome
Anon Babble suddenly hates stylized designs
can someone do this but stirrup stockings thanks gl hf
HOLY
If Valve even adds a loli hero to this then we're golden.
The old style was still stylized, but darker in tone
These redesigns are trying to pull a 180 and changing the tone entirely.
People want more grungy games, or games darker in tone, as everything that has been coming out is design by committee mass appeal slop or generic upbeat millennial humor.
loli hero
No
vindicta
You act as if the whole game has been upended.
She doesn't look like one
most fanart of Ivy makes her look cute in a cartoonish way
Valve takes the look people give Ivy in fanart and put it into the game
Bravo Gabe, between this and Lords Of The Fallen its nice to know there are devs that still listen to the fans.
time traveling olivia mann
he old style was still stylized
no it wasn't, look at haze, wraith, viscous, yamato, gay talon
but darker in tone
unintentional and the old moders from neon prime didn't help
gargoyles are supposed to be grotesque
she doesn't look like a statue that came to life anymore, now she looks like some sort of yordle rip off
Its just artfags not being able to draw her well because they've been trained on stylized cartoons an anime.
Only 1?
she is one in spirit
The problem is there's more than one kind of cartoonish stylization, but everything is defaulting to this mobile ad Disney CGI Fortnite bullshit
Now I wonder what an in-between of both her designs would look like
...so in a cute and cartoonish way?
take your pick
Go to hell
no it wasn't, look at haze, wraith, viscous, yamato, gay talon
flat colors used for skin, hair, etc.
simplified facial features
big blocky chunky hair
"BRO!" "It's REALISTIC"
a statue can literally look like anything the person making it wants it to
mobile ad Disney CGI Fortnite bullshit
Yep We should have canceled TF2 in 2007
It's depressing that this is what people care the most about these days, not the gameplay, but the pre-alpha model of an ugly ass character they've latched on to emotionally.
And I'm saying the progress sucks! Thats how feedback works
Maybe Ivy looked like her original model when she came to life and then beautified herself. She's a girl too and wants to look pretty.
because the gameplay is gay
cause no one's leaked the gameplay, thin wrists. probably by design, moralize in a cavern
Great, the alpha is being treated as one and more revisions will happen until the final design is set.
This shows a dangerously low level of critical thinking in you if this is your primary takeaway
i just jerk off to her porn, i dont give a fuck about the rest
Dont care Ivytards
I will astroturf the reaction to show Valve that people actually like the Ivy change
the 1940s aesthetic it has isn't mass appealing
The game isn't out yet retard
can you let everyone know Valve betrayed the Artifact fanbase too
Gameplay is being catered to compfags - quality has declined since earlier on in the beta.
Not much to talk about, unless you want to complain about them making things worse.
No one here seems to mind the change all that much
Fuck off. I'm glad it has soul
Nobody actually liked old Ivy model. It's all ironic shitposting.
no it wasn't
t. Ivy fag who drew porn
NO ONE LEAKED THE SECRET CLUB BUILD YET
I've seen "some" images that tell me otherwise
the only meaningful post itt
those images ARE shitpostings just like people who draw fat ugly bara arts.
only 3 uses of nigger
Anon Babble has fallen
Looks cute, would give the game a try now BUT i still refuse to play anything with DEI characters.
NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED
You're beyond retarded
I want to sex on-model (both) and off-model Ivy
How the hell are they not redesigning grey talon and yamato still?
The Deadlock discord has a fair number of people complaining in the dedicated Ivy channel about the change.
you know tranny replaced nigger a while ago
People are already complaining about Ivy
Doesn't she just look like how everyone depicted her in art, didn't they just do what everyone wanted
Sex with Bookworm and Boho
DEI characters
I thought you faggots died off
I did, but not on its own. It's supposed to contrast with her heart of gold and sweet personality.
It's been this way for a while, same with faggot
so like maybe 20-30 right
So did the game.
artfags incapable of drawing Ivy on-model
"Actually, everyone wanted her to be a cutesy scrimblo Spongebob character! See, look at the fanart people drew on Twitter for FoTM likes!"
Doesn't she just look like how everyone depicted her in art
See this is why you're a faggot
When I complain about art not looking on model, you call me a faggot and tell me to shut up
When I shut up and don't complain, you blame me for a change like this because I didn't complain
Absolutely retarded
Ivy looks like she'd be a new member of the Sly Cooper gang in the second to last chapter of the game
faggot
Is the game fun again?
Something that isn't properly out can't die off
In that case, she should be ferocious instead of ugly.
they fucking ruined her
artfags don't get popular by sucking each other off, the people consuming that art are what make them popular. face it, you're the minority.
artfags don't get popular by sucking each other off,
Actually, thats exactly how they do it, lol.
Thanks for telling me you know nothing about what you're talking about ;^)
Ends post with emoticon
FFFFFFAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOTTTTTT
that's a cope by bums upset they aren't getting freebies, like all on model autists. almost no one's paying for ugly ivy, almost no one's even using AI to generate it.
Lol
lmao
wake me up when rankings are dissolved, the esports get publicly shamed for making development impossible and matchmaking is regionlocked
and I bet you use emojis, NIGGER!
do deadlock characters even have facial animations yet? I haven't looked at anyone in game that closely
Someone posted a Haze heavy WIP model video.
streamable.com
Still no smoke head effects unfortunately.
Just except you're a brain-dead retard
butt visible
the uograde is slow but happening shw just needs a different voice AGAIN
For some reason Ivy speaking Spanish triples her precious factor for me
I don't think they're doing that until models are finalised. Too much of a pain to redo.
it's cause her tongue can roll a lot of rs
how does all this shit come out at once after one streamer fucked up and leaked it? do other people just consider it fair game at that point?
famine
once it leaks someone really wants (You)s and starts posting screenshots
They probably waited to see if the Valve devs would slap the streamer's shit.
He probably got reprimanded but never lost access to the sekrit club. And since he accidentally revealed the new roster with little to no punishment, peolle feel emboldened to do the same.
deadshlock
That's literally what everyone did
That's what I'm literally saying except it's YOU, How are people this dense and they project the very problems they cause on everyone else, you know what fuck this, kill yourselves
deadcock
no way people like this cartoony style over the og one
open your pre-alpha to the public way too fucking early
end up having to make a beta within the beta to actually test important changes on people who know how to play instead of joe shmoe #2259 with terrible opinions
This shit has been in alpha testing for over a year and they're still not doing open testing? Who's going to want to play a game where 60% of its base has that much experience with the mechanics? It's going to scare away everyone.
me when I lament TFC
Its the same shit desu. I'm still holding off on Haze becsuse her most iconic design, being the smoky head, still isn't implemented properly.
now have to find a way into the secret beta just so I could play actual updates
it's all so tiresome
>open your pre-alpha to the public way too fucking early
They only did because Uncle Dane leaked.
those same people that knew how to play were the ones that fucked up the first "alpha" like asking for ranked
for me it's Raven
Pocket is the nonbinary character, so gotta make him more androgynous
Old Pocket had a weird stache that just looled shit.
Same except I played it for a few hours in may of 2024 and completely lost interest in the game itself. Ivy smut continues to deliver
What are the chances Valve makes another secret secret playtest build.now that this is public?
what if Valve is making a secret playtest... in your own mind?
SAAR SAAR PLEASE REDEEM DEADLOCK SAAR
WE GOOD NOW SWEET BABY INC™ APPROVED OUR DESIGN SAAR
Most of these designs are better, fuck off
why doesn't samael hide just join a monastery
new ivy model? SOVLLESS
i hate offmodel fags so much
SEX WITH IVY
pcbros are such literal homosexuals that they throw a tantrum if you make a female character less ugly
reddit.com
Leaker just said that these are all MONTHS OLD builds.
Open beta possibly likely July.
Also he saw THAT Valve game in action. You know the one.
I genuinely cannot believe that valvetrannies still have this filter in place
Ivyfags and their version of their "romanticized" version of the character was their own downfall*
you guys are stupid this is exactly what you wanted.
THAT Valve game
Ricochet chads...
THAT game
DAY OF DEFEAT BROS GET THE FUCK IN HERE
fuck ivyfags lol
a bunch of posers latching onto a character through fanart because the game sucks.
uuuuUUUUHHHH CRY OF FEAR BROSW EA ARE BACKSC
there are some pretty cool designs in those beta heros
You know it's possible to like a character from a game you don't care for?
Woah..
vgh i bet they even shop at hot topic....
Artifact is BACK
how?
4 lanes was fucking dogshit where people spent more time not interacting with eachother
brown cow
the old style where it was darker tone
no it fucking wasn't?????????????????????????
They're discord trannies.
lmao, i told you months ago to stop spamming this shit because it would make people hate the character
you got her hated enough she's getting raped
good for you anon, hope the spam was worth lmao
Oh they're adding more melee animations, nice.
Seeing this makes me realize Spy would make a great hero.
the game was never that cartoony its now a bit closer to tf2 then anything
the style has literally always been cartoony, there is just more color now like the concept art has always alluded to
thats cool and all but when is pic related getting added?
How does a person get this delusional? Just lack of world context or genuine mental illness
I want to lick her feet so bad bros
Both
these leaks are literally from a months old deadlock build
IF THESE ARE MONTHS OLD THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS THE INVITE ONLY ALPHA SUPPOSED TO BE THEN?
JUST SOME DISTRACTIONKEKING PEOPLE OUT OF THE REAL GAME?
It's russian containment.
the original alpha was literally leaked by uncledane because he sperged out about valve not caring about tf2, they made another closed beta while letting people play in the current one, it's not that complicated.
Hey Ivyfags stop crying.
The leaker said Ivy hasn't been remodelled yet. They just changed the portrait but she still uses her current model.
basically since october? november? around that time
but it isnt new, people already knew there was behind the scenes work with weirder changes
the game is not this dark and never has been, this screenshot is fucked
the invite only alpha was supposed to be for a small group of people and their friends before it got leaked and literally tens of thousands of people joined up and it no longer became a reliable testing ground because people would just bitch if any major changes happened even though such things are a normal occurrence in real closed door game development
funniest tbing is that he probably still participates in the closed closed alpha
Thats a good reason to keep crying so they don't change it at all though
no more fugly model
I am so happy you're going to be extinct soon enough
valve definitely cut him off
god what an unappealing cast
THEY'RE KEEPING THE FAT INDIAN?
cherrypicked screenshot and yoshi always confirmed the game wouldn't have some darker tone
Because current beta is full of retards that don't understand that game still is in development, they treat it as release version.
That's not hard to understand.
bet it tastes like rock salt
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE INVITE ONLY ALPHA SUPPOSED TO BE THEN
i mean it WAS supposed to have the most experimental and massive changes from week to week but then pacotorres07 and russianfaggot1000 joined and forgot to give feedback and only complained about the unfinished game being unfinished
it's because valve cares about quality!!!
invites retarded streamers instead of hiring beta testers
lmao
torture and kill every furry on earth
what's yer offer
It have both.
people got duped into wasting hours of their lives for months on a build valve already considered abandoned
Is this based or not?
but the beta testers are always retarded, they have dealt with their stupidity multiple times in the past
Based based based
Fuck ruskies
Kill this shitty game faster so that we get Dota battle passes again
The shift in tone is pretty clear you can prefer the more colorful cartoony look but it wasn't always like that
no lol
valve is greedy as fuck and won't even spend dime on paying their play testers
which they really should do to stop retarded shit like this from happening
what's stopping some asshole streamer from leaking everything again now?
did you think it was ever gonna produce something for you
RICOCHET 2
mmm
Its open secret, and so called open beta keep usual retards in check.
Besides, everyone complain about valve playtesters, that change nothing.
Roll back the 4 lanes I miss the extra middle lane
right the playtesters that got confused in shit like MvM because the tesm had both colors
They sure are reliable and not retarded at all
if they were greedy they wouldn't be produciong this ugly pile of shit game lol
there is no shift in tone
Get your eyes checked
there is no shift in tone though retard, like they said it was never going for something fully dark, edgy or grim and the devs let it known
valve playtesters are retard
Valve is greedy because they got youtubers and pros instead of playtesters.
Pick one faggot.
They're just finding reasons to complain like most Anon Babbletards
*toot* 'scuse me
those statements aren't mutually exclusive
I must be blind then
oh wow it's literally
nah, you spammed the character constantly to make people react that she's ugly
it wasn't your intention you teraurge autist, but it's what you get
keep weird shit in your pants next time
They are greedy anon, it's just valve workers work differently compared to regular workers in regular corporations. Valve employees have 7 figure jobs. They aren't given precise orders on anything but will have their wages cut and eventually booted if they are considered "burden". Which is why they constantly start a new project > everyone flocks to it to keep their good boy points > another gimmick project pops up > everyone abandons the old one so they can farm more good boy points working on new project. The only reason half life alyx even happened is because GabeN is obsessed with VR and used his weight as boss for once his life to order his peasants (who are paid 7 figures btw) to finish a god damn project for once in their career so he can sell index with a somewhat serviceable VR game.
it was supposed to be a GARGOYLE they aren't exactly pretty looking water redirction ornaments
keep weird shit in your pants next time
This entire board is incapable of keeping it in their pants
You know what? I like this Ivy design. I used to hate Ivyfags and their fan art spam but now it seems justified. The tranny contrarians who said they liked her ugly placeholder model can go get fucked, they were the main reason I got so annoyed by her. You're not special for wanting to fuck an ugly monster.
why aren't they making dota battle passes, that's obviously where the money is
Because: maintaining old games < participating in new gimmick projects
That's why TF2 is abandoned for example
And why they spam dozens of projects and never touch them again
I love the gun, looks really cool
at launch Dota 2 had 102 heroes
having a libido is fine, having a fetish is not
making up lies on the internet, it's not cool, anon.
Oh no a fetish how horrible! Totally worse than spamming horny bait threads and complaining when a character isn't atractive!
why not, scared?
New Ivy design looks cute in that goofy cat sort of way
All these redesigns just scream
we want the valorant e-girl audience
