Ivy has unironically saved Deadlock TWICE now.
1st time when deadlock alpha was released and people were initially shitting on the game
Ivy coomers came and got people to soften up on the game
now after Deadlock was mostly forgotten while its still in the alpha
Ivy new design returns to bring back relevance to the game.
Valve should just make her the official mascot of Deadlock at this point.
Valve should just make her the official mascot of Deadlock at this point.
but muh faggot blue demon
Why did they do it? I don't think there's any gargoyle lore that says they have to be semen demons.
dead game, zero updates, map remake was total shit, hate it
They are remembering that sex sells. It took some form of mass cult brainwashing for them to forget that simple rule.
what happened?
He's the official fake mascot. While Ivy is the real Mascot.
Its like mighty morphin power rangers. The Red Ranger was the leader but people tuned in for the Green Ranger.
Gargoyles are historically used as a symbol of protection. Extrapolate that out even a little and you get stone guardians that love human men.
Valve devs are and have always been aware of how the community is. You think they haven't seen the fan art?
They're just giving the community what we really want. Same reason why they're making Geist hotter.
A new major Deadlock alpha update was leaked that showed redesigns for characters + new characters.
Everyone including Ivy is getting a glowup.
dead game
Its in alpha state
zero updates
Its constantly getting updates a nd a big new update is around the corner

they've been saying that since december
The new big patch was just leaked thats how we even know about the new Ivy design.
tldr really don't care nigger, game went to total shit once they adopted the bog standard every fucking other moba tier 2-2-2 formula with the shitty map redo
The made Ivy more easy on the eyes and now people are debating how much should be cute and how much should be monstrous.
If Jacob Lash's eyes become visible then the game is dead
Still mad they removed some of his dialogue, god forbid the asshole is...an asshole.
She was supposed to be my beloved fuckugly creature
They weren't meant to make her cute
10 heroes in leak
all anyone talks about is the naive optimist character being made "too cute"
gargoyles have no lore so they can be
You missed the Vyper model being swapped to a snake instead of lizard and Abrams being refined.
abrams just looks like they updated the portrait to match his model update from february, and the only picture is blocked by a streamer cam
supposedly the new heroes also have placeholder models some of them
Give her a spinoff game as the lead.
Something like Ratchet and Clank.
Ivy looks like an actual gargoyle (ugly)
But she has a heart of gold
Now Ivy's cute and also has a heart of gold
They ruined everything that makes her a fun character
God damn she has a fat fucking tail. God damn
Check out the view from behind
valve
making games
what's boho supposed to be? a witch?
your guess is as good as any, we only have the portraits to go off of
boho is short for bohemian, which means free spirited/hippie
Drifter
Frank
Priest
Dracula, Frankenstein, and Van Helsing?
drifter seems to be more feral vampire while vampire bat occupies the classy vampire role
Could be an urban druid.
being swapped to a snake instead of lizard
her 3 is literally a slithering passive why would you expect her to be a lizard
Exactly. The whole charm was that she looked like something out of a cathedral nightmare but had that sweet, hopeful personality underneath. Making her “visibly marketable” just kneecaps the point. Not every character needs to be soft-featured and conventionally pretty.
My biggest gripe isn't the face but the fact that they put a shirt on her
i think that's just her elbow with the new outline shader on it
Meds
He's right faggot. "It's only in test phase" is widely labelled as cope for a reason.
The game was supposed to already be good remember? That was the big claim.
singer
It would be funny if they pulled a Pinchy with Ivy.
She looks like the kawaii uguu waifu when you play as her but they use her legitimately monstrous model for everyone else.
valve makes stupid decision
water is wet
deadlock was also a retarded idea, nobody enjoys this sweat shit
no option to marry Ivy, impregnate her and giver her human/gargoyle babies
Take this trash out of my sight.
slut
Show the new design so I may judge whether or not it's coomable
I pray you're right but know in my heart I'm not that lucky.
Is it just me or Dynamo's glasses are a tad too big now? Makes him look too cartoony to me
that's the only image, it hasn't been officially released
he is an asshole but nlt an edgy one
thing is, there's absolutely a possible middleground where Ivy can be both fuckugly and also weirdly cute.
Nuvalve is simply too incompetent to ever achieve it. This creature in OP looks like a retarded cat from valorant.
Reminder that nuvalve has fucking Overwatch designers employed, among other modernist manchild retards.
You know the games entire state is constantly changing. Neither model design is set in stone. only her 3rd skill
I can't say I love the Geist change. Her model already looks great. But the updated version doesn't look bad or anything. A bit too bogged maybe? Maybe it's just the hair
Holy soul
youtu.be
even with all the changes unless valve makes this game 100% auto pilot like rivals people still arent going to invest time into it people in 2025 dont want to think so i wonder how long before valve removes items
immediately after the WIP line
marvelshit
doorman mains where we at?
Was saying 'bitch' really edgy though?
So long, bitches
You're in the big leagues now bitch
I feel like that's pretty tame, he's probably heard worse while fighting underground. TF2/L4D characters use profanity sometimes.
it's because muh esports sponsors, same reason they'll probably never add gibs
She needs the long dress back
Short dresses are slag territory and she is not one
that's a mod that cuts her dress shorter and changes her hair, not the new model
AYOO IS THAT MICHAEL JACKSON???
they fucking RUINED dynamo WTF
no thats pocket
finally wraith looks better
another le hero mmo cooldowns shooter
BUT WITH ASSFAGGOTS MECHANICS
I sleep
trannies wanted to fuck the stone gargoyle and they were self-inserting.
There you are
It was/is good but its incomplete, unpolished and over complicated. This is what game development looks like chuddy.
They're making one right now anon.
SOUL!!!!!!!
shoving dota, dishonored and tf2 in a blender doesnt count
Yeah Ivy and Viper are officially my mains.
at least 2 games are in active development, while they're managing a few more live services.
Marvel is good again seethe.
Ivy, Dynamo, Wraith, and Geist all got glowups.
Ivy is transcoded btw
Post Boho
Yes it does and its a good thing.
She's transformation coded.
Can we all agree that this new dynamo face looks bad.
It looks meh to me but it is a downgrade from the previous.
A lot of people are ignoring it but the new McGinnis is an upgrade, though I think she needs her grease smears on her face back.
Other than that the Roise the Riveter look is a big improvement.
what about yamato or whatever the loooong head lady was called
nope, she's the same for now.
Probably debating what the fuck they actually want to do with her design wise still.
they actually want to do
Just rip off neon white and everything neon white ripped off; A generic suit with oni horns and a katana.
You can thank me later Valve dev.
Ivy is a trans icon
Doorman
Where the FUCK is my fat opera singer?
my guess, Ellen McLain was not available
I don't think there's any gargoyle lore that says they have to be semen demons.
There is as a matter of fact.
t. gargoyle lore scholar
still working on that along with other heroes like warden
im guessing its taking so long becuase they are using ideas from 4 out of 5 designs (the pajeet version was rejected in record time)
got turned into one of the gals
you are welcome
the pajeet version was rejected in record time
I don't remember seeing that. Was it the "school girl" look.
No it was the version where she's black or something. It looked like shit, all trashy.
Black Japanese rejected
we don't want Ubisoft crowd
heh
Be honest with me. VN will never come out, right?
no Ivy's job interview
no Geist and Miku interaction
no im talking an actual pajeet, or muslim i dont know, design
rejected in record time because she got a new VO a month later where she speaks almost entirely in japanese
they said it is and geist voice lines confirm its still happening
They want full roster for that. Probably will be as promo material before game lunch as well.
They aren't affected by the commie guild strike?
Anon, most posters on this board aren't old enough to remember Baccano.
Boho is pure. Bookworm is the real freak.
doesn't look like they are
Bookworm is gonna be a real worm in disguise
Quote me on this
i dont see why they would cancel it since dota is also doing it
cut some things, maybe
They need to settle with character designs first before doing anything with VN
Oh, Ivy is your favorite character? Then name 5 games with gargoyles in them. Yeah, that's what I thought, poser.
I can't name 5 games with Ninjas in them but I still want to fuck Ayane.
4 lane > 3 lane
Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring, Skyrim
Did they make her more attractive? Did they not understand the assignment?
street fighter
street fighter 2
street fighter 3
street fighter 4
street fighter 5
it's not that hard
She's not but alright:
Skyrim: Dawnguard
World of Warcraft
Dark souls
Gargoyle quest
Heroquest (You didnt say VIDEO games faggot)
Darkest Dungeon
Everquest
Deadlock
Jackie Chan
League of Legends (old version)
What's my prize
There's alot of bad designs there.
is Baccano worth watching?
bookworm
bad
doorman
bad
You're a retard.
take Ivy
change nothing about the character except:
make the character chubby
gender is now male
i've created perfection
Hating on doorman
Unironically end your life
They should add a mime, he would be grey, black and white, no color.
That's pretty unoriginal but it should work nicely.
And maybe add some kind of clown too, maybe a pierrot.
Some Venetian woman with a nice mask.
I don't like their design, it's a waste of redhead characters, they should make something else, maybe an herborist for the girl and a adventurer/explorer type for the dude, maybe kind of a mix between tintin and a colonial explorer.
heroes are just occult-maxxed normal people with typical jobs in 1930s New York
This is peak game design and changing it so everyone is le unique snowflake will make it suck.
adventurer/explorer type
He's a doorman, at that point just make a new character
sex with cute ivy
sex with vampirebrat
sex with doorman
I really don't like the execution of most of the characters.
I think its not really interesting to make him a doorman, make him a fucking pilot or something like that, with a fucking cool jacket.
There'r alot of cool stuff from this period, I obviously don't know the rest of the game aspects, how they should play, what they want to add to the game, but I know what it cool.
The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, hellboy, BPRD, Lovecraft, all the occult movements from this period, obviously.
Classics work, make a mad scientist who plays with the occult and talks to entities, shit like that.
just farted
He still says someting with bitch in it, I hear it in games.
Hard disagree, doormen look cool af, very relevant to the game setting, and a doorman character has a lot of potential for a very unique moveset.
he's obviously going to be a doorman with magical powers, eyes are glowing bright blue
big potential for a portal ability that uniquely fits the setting
There's a cute girl at work named Ivy
Well, that's a personal preference, I would have seen an explorer or pilot to be more fitting/cool.
Maybe his moveset and personality will make him a better character, we'll see.
But as I said, I have a problem with many character designs in this game.
New hidden playtest is fucking soulless compared to the initial comfy uncle dane leak playtest.
It's over.
One up uncle dane and post it
Drifter comes off like a gypsie-type werewolf guy to me
Based Reisen poster
I mean isn’t Paradox already that adventurer archetype?
whats so bad about the new version
I have mixed feelings about the redesign. On one hand it definitely makes all that fanart no longer copium and she is petty cute. On the other hand I kinda liked the idea of her being an ugly gargoyle on the outside but that contrasting with her very nice, sweet personality.
It’s a shitpost anon
thanks for key
goddamnit I missed it
steamdb.info
Imagine being a public playtester cuck LMAO. Couldn't be me.
What does it feel like playing on a mo ths old abandoned build while the real BVLLS get to spread Boho and Bookworm's cheeks wide open?
why is valve like this
why did they string peolle alo g when they could have literally just closed the invite only playtest
it's a waste of redhead characters
Nigga there isn't a fucking state mandated hard cap on how many redheaded characters your game can have
Of course there is.
You have to manage your redheads with parsimony.
It's still set in New York and doormen are iconic.
We'll probably get an aviation gremlin.
I hope they rework the rocker, maybe make him look less like a monkey, and add some knocked off teeth, something like that.
Fortune teller maybe.
My wife.
dont care, still not going back
This game would be forgotten the moment it came out if not for ''Valve'' name on it. Player numbers proves that, no one cares about another hero shooter MOBA type shit. Like no one cares about Smite.
Ivy coomers came and got people to soften up on the game
No, they got me to fucking hate them and they killed all discussion about the game.
t. got in alpha with an email
Dot has three redhead women and three redhead monster men, I think it'll be fine
kept telling people that there was a super secret deadlock build and that we were playing months old scraps
they called me a schizo
turns out it was 100% true
vindicated
WTFFF noooooo anon nooooo please please pleeeeeeease come back we need you :(((
McGinnis is an upgrade
No you fucking retard, turning a unique design into yet another ripoff of the "We can do it" WWII poster girl is not an upgrade.
RIDE
THE
LIGHTNING
unique
Is she a gargoyle?
This is why Valve should have closed the playtest sooner.
It made the retards too attached to placeholder shit.
Everyone wanted to fuck her when she was ugly though.
More unique than ripping off one of the most famous posters in the world, which other games have already fucking done.
iT's OnLy An aLpHa bRo
if you type like a redditor you may want to go back
bring back relevance to the game
same 4 digits playercount and dropping
Why are porn addicts so delusional and retarded?
Valve will cancel this atrocity just like artifact.
I really don't get what's the appeal with her and why I want to fuck her too.
which other games have already fucking done
Name them
that would actually be based
Are Lash and Warden being upgraded from faceless NPCs?
no
Wendy sex
No (and that's a good thing)
She's a gook
There are gargoyles warding out evil spirits with their naked gargoyle titties out.
They are protecting you while going topless so you can see their boobies.
Monstrous is cute.
The redesign is a massive mistep and has lowered her sex appeal to a mere "hottie".
There's no ninjas in SF2
b-b-but Vega
Shut up.
Nu-Ivy and nu-Wraith are amazing.
Die.
"Leak"
Are valve fanboys that stupid?
The game isn't out you schizo. Hell the current "playtest" isn't even the real playtest.
There's a super secret playtest thats seperate from the open "playtest".
The game is rumored to enter open beta in july/late june.
Which only streamers play so it's worthless
It's a split between compshitters and casuals.
cute bat
Source my ass
actual good idea
They just need to make Ivy look monstrous when she turns into a statue. That simple.
VOLVO HIRE THIS MAN
doormanchads rise up
Sex
sex is cancelled
ill take the orange lizard over the unfunny green roastie desu
I'd like that idea for a different character that's ugly and disgusting, but charms the enemy team and they see her as beautiful. I was going to say they could even go all out with male/female models with minor Ixian adjustments, but I guess since there's Mo & Krill, Viper, and whoever else they add it could start to be a little much. (Viscous and Bebop would see her as her default form and Viscous would still be calling her pretty,)
Never
Gib Boho
hee hee
closed super sekrit test branch within alpha test
So they admit giving everyone invite codes was a colossal mistake?
is that why all the artwork made her look 100 times better?
you fucking retard
LOCAL SORCERER TOO ANGRY TO DIE
THIS [character no one has ever heard about] JUST SAVED [still dead game]
woah
Obviously, you can't conduct a real closed alpha test that needs valuable feedback and bug testing with tons of participant, just sifting through the telemetry data and reading+compiling all forum posts feedback would be a full time job. Their hands were forced because of the TF2 eceleb.
Who wants russians in their playtests lmao.
No, fuck you.
Only Russians play Valve games
Biggest problem I have with Shiv is his lanky prosthetic arm and red skin.
