Valve makes an ugly character

I'm sticking with Shiv no matter what

I feel like this whole thing is just people making mountains outta molehills. I get the frustration people have, but I don’t think it really warrants this sort of freak-out. It’s not ideal, but it’s not like it ruined everything good forever

Viper grew arms and legs and escaped dota?

i like the ugly thing ironically lol look i drew porn!!!

never capitulate to these people

I like both.

both are plap-worthy

So when even is this fucking game coming out?

For me it's doorman.

according to the leakers july

uglycoal won

why's miku's face so small now? she's 60% forehead.

something bad didn't blow up the entire world so you can't complain about it

I don't get fucking retards like you, are people not allowed to complain or ask for change if something they liked got swapped out for something they don't because it's not actively detrimental to their lives?

most forced tumblr nigger filth

Go back.

im sorry. But what game and why shall I bother??

Pretty sad her game is DOA, if there's ever A.

I like it in isolation, she just doesn't really look like a gargoyle anymore. More like a mouse.

Not saying you can’t complain or even that it isn’t bad, just that the freak-out’s i’ve seen seem to be a bit of an overreaction, and that’s just me anyway. Not even close to what I was getting at
I swear every single time I say that phrase, this is the sort of response people extrapolate no matter who or where…

I think she's cute both ways.

how do you access the secret club build

ugly judeo american design scrapped

moe cute design kept

lol

What possessed valve to suddenly add a ton of relatively attractive girls to the cast

Even mcginnis got a glow up

Ironic coming from an underfag

If you showed me at least a third of these out of context and told me they're from Concord - I wouldn't even see a reason to doubt your words.

VIPER BROS WE WON

Maybe Calico. But everyone else genuinely looks too good for Concord.

There's the right kind of ugly, and the wrong kind of ugly.

Where are the sniddies?

>people absolutely love her

Trannies aren't people, anon.

Good, trannies can pay money for the old skin

Concord has legitimately mindbroken you
Hopefully something can cure you someday

wtf did they do to Pocket. I get Pocket is supposed to be non-binary, but the previous design looked cool

is this game playable on controller yet

Old Pocket had a shitty looking stache. Looked older than he looks. Also he'd supposed to be a rich kid that turned into a runaway hobo.

Damn this is like twice the amount of characters I remember since playing.
It got tiring seeing basically the same heroes every single game.

They shaved his head and called him Trapper now.

That's his bro, Vyper.

I hope Frank gets a lot of porn.
I wanna see him in a cow-patterned sling bikini.

Seethe.

I love new Ivy and I hope they don't revert her, at that point just make the old version an optional skin and this shit will sort itself out.

like character for how she was

also had a sort of popular "cute" fanart alternative

redoes her to look like the moeblob creation

I can understand everyone getting another pass at redesigns but it just feels like they're pandering and forgetting why people like the character.

People liked the character because of her personality.

Honestly fuck Ivy

I want to fuck Paradox and Haze. The latter will burn my dick and the former will rewind time.

gladly

Damn Mirage is ZESTY

Soulful Designs: Abrams, Infernus, Seven
Serviceable Designs: Vindicta, Warden, Lash
Uninspired Garbage: The rest

An improvement

Fact: Frankenstein monsters should be female

nooo the character isn't allowed to be attractive because my insecurity about her attainability ruins my fantasies of her!

that's literally what it is

I thought old Ivy was ugly-cute and the juxtaposition of that and her kind personality made her one of the only things that stood out in Deadlock. Making her more traditionally cute on the outside ruins that juxtaposition and makes her less interesting

artist makes a concept sketch

people love it

other artists draw the character themselves

their fully rendered drawings include various details and changes based on their personal preferences to fill in holes that a concept sketch doesn't cover

original artist sees the direction people keep taking their original concept and rolls with it

everyone suddenly hates it now

Feels similar to how shipfags will lose their shit if the creator of an IP states outright that a character is straight or whatever and contradicts their ideal pairing.
Ivy's original face apparently had enough appeal that anyone who wanted to soften her features was able to do so while still being garish enough to be quality monsterfucker bait.
Designing her cute takes some of that away, plus who the hell has ever seen a cute gargoyle?

The previous design was for Concord, Dustborn and Marathon fans.

No one wants to buy ugly. Troons lost.

Game is in beta and lot of crap still use stuff from 2 development phases ago

WTF IT LOOK LIKE SHIT

90% of Anon Babble are just unironic graphicsfags that don't actually play games
I wouldn't worry about them

This shit has the consistent styling of of Fortnite lol

people love her personality

get to make her cute based on your own tastes because everyone knows she's ugly

valve makes her cute

basically took away the black check being ugly gave artists when drawing her

She looks a little too cute now anyway.
Like she got turned into a girlfriend character and lost any dark tone her design had.
Usually when people mage her cute, it was because they wanted to fuck her.
The new design just makes her look like a little sister and not someone who fought a crime syndicate and won.

That also apply to most retards playing the game. They treat it as final release.

I liked the direction of the old design more, but I'm not opposed to going full naga

It's why Valve made another secret playtest for deadlock lmao

As much as I agree with this, pretty much nothing about Deadlock was/is finalized. Ivy was going to be subject to change no matter what.
Besides, she's still a gargoyle with a heart of gold. Being depicted as "slightly less ugly" never changed who she truly was on the inside.

Thats good but then you have ton of people complaining about being left out.

Game still is a good 2 years away from release.

I guess it does feel bad to know that all those hours of playtesting you did is for an abandoned version of the game in the russian containment build of the game.

wait what happened now?
qrd?

neon prime get in proper development as leftover from MVM mode

Some stuff leak there and there but nothing came out

Whole thing restart because valve don't want another futuristic shooter and icetoad get reins of development

Valve send invite to bunch of people from community and pros from all their MP games

Uncle dane leak the game

People start tracking it and seeing more

Find official forums

valve decide to send a few couple of invites in waves

Retards start to sell the invites

They give up and make game "open" beta.

Now they are doing another closed beta because game is full of people that don't understand that game is in development, their feedback are worthless.

STILL no Yamato redesign

Basically they opened up the invites to not streisand themselves and to keep people distracted while slyly making yet another secret pre alpha build of the game that they can get worked on with a way smaller group of playtesters

Closed alpha game has an inconsistent artstyle

Yeah, no shit.

Being fair, it was Uncle dane fault for leak, and retard still went complain about muh valve don't care about TF2.

QRD on changes since last year? I stopped playing few weeks afrer they added the sandnigger and blubber

3 lanes

I like how Infernus stayed the same

I wonder if I even still have access to the deadlock play test. I got in during the initial hype like everyone else but played the tutorial and saw all I needed to see and haven't touched it since.

deleted a lane, 2v2v2,

made the map worse,

got rid of last hitting (not denials),

made flex slots harder to get,

totally fucked the matchmaking,

got found out that the "advanced AI" anticheat was just unpaid moderators checking video recordings for hacking

bunch of balance changes

few new heroes

got rid of unranked matchmaking (all games are based on your rank)

Gee I dunno maybe because they actually want their game to be popular?

I really hope they re-add last hitting. Not even kidding when I say that if they don't I might not even play it.

There is literally no difference. They're both ugly.

I really wish Hotpoo wasn't so scalie obsessed that he refuses to put tits on his snake women.

God damn, Bookworm is my new waifu.

Snatter than two snaspirins on a snironing snoard.

ivy

cute now

wears a shirt now

She must really want a job.

Ivy got a chance at a wish and wished to be more presentable for a job

canon event. my dad works at deadlock

I hope if they do redo her design (and not just bring back her old one but with a shirt because of course they will), it strikes a good uglycute balance.

This game was only fun during first few months

More like the first few weeks
But it really did feel like something special in that time. Like they really managed to make a fun hero shooter... before people figured out it was actually a MOBA and started playing it correctly

lol they literally just copied the fan art but in a good way, deadlock's art style is so uninspired that they might as well

I thought the whole point was that she's an actual, literal gargoyle come to life? A cute gargoyle kind of defeats the whole intention behind it.

Most normalfags and casuals would prefer right. And they'd be 100% correct.

What an ugly disgusting game, j hope gaben choke on tranny's cum

She's hot either way, love this taco taco flying monster, hate everything else about the game.

I'm straight, but why do characters like Drifter make me feel things I'd rather not admit?

Is that doorman!? I better sit my ass out or I'm finished!

Because you aren't, ask your significant other to buy a strap on.

Left is trash, only Anon Babble freaks and furfaggots would find that thing attractive
Right is at least appealing
You just want to fuck weird stuff because there's something wrong with you and have bad taste to boot

They fucking destroyed Haze and McGinnis. Other than that, same old shit just with one less lane.

No one knows what the real build is like.

The cuck build everyone else plays lost a lane.

cant believe they are sticking with that fuckugly monkey sitting on the cool moleguy
ivy is cuter, superficially, but the picture makes her look like a mouse
your pic is cute-fying her though
i LIKE it, dont get me wrong, its very vampire bat-ish
but the real honest to god model in-game was downright ghoulish and didnt actually match the voice that was coming out of her
ill have to see the actual new model to make proper judgement

Can we please have one Deadlock thread without this abomination of a character in the OP?

too mouselike

neon prime get in proper development as leftover from MVM mode

Wasn't it a leftover from a Half Life game?

he lacks critical information

It's actually Naga that escaped to roleplay as an XCOM Viper, but lost her tits

entire appeal is being physically ugly and goblin-like but insanely cute voice and personality

now it's just another fucking anime girl

nu-valve needs to use AI just to get ideas btw

MVM started life with creep mode.

I'd play as the viscous or seven depending on which playstyle I like more, haven't seen any gameplay.

nerfed Haze to the ground

fuck up her hair

I want to see how she looks in the ultra secret build FUCK
