lmao kys

game requires I give a shit about creepfarming, dota cooldowns, shop/build mechanics, and headshots

in order to get any sort of rank I have to play with a handful of autists with a few hundred hours

Why do these games have such dogshit onboarding. You get a tutorial that treats you like you dont know what WASD is, and canbarely be bothered to tell you how your moves scale or how movement tech is meant to be used or what the fuck anything on the map means.

So... this is the power of Half Life 3?

don't post the steamchart i'm having suicidal thoughts

that character got redesigned to look like this btw

3/4s of the male roster is buff guy with an undercut with a mustache

wtf is that shit?

a demon cabaret singer
the placeholder was a sumo wrestler wearing a viking helmet and a wig resembling an opera singer, because they were designing a character around a music motif and already had a sumo model

lol

That's just the genre of the game man. Deadlock is just valve making dota 3 but with a new coat of gameplay paint, it always was and will be an ASSFAGGOTS

VALVE'S STILL GOT IT

What the fuck is going on with Valve?

I'm pretty sure the risk of rain devs are the major force behind deadlock and, frankly, it's fun

Better a placeholder model than something that's still unfinished

is that Anessix

didn't see the new design

Absolute retard.

the original dota is an unironic masterpiece of game design. most of valve's input on it has been chuckleworthy at best and outright damaging at worst. if you take an assfaggots and turn it into a shooter, then its not an assfaggots anymore

The game's lead writer is the same as the Saints Row series and the first draft was a comedy scifi game like SR4 on a japan-inspired prison planet. Everyone hated it so they pivoted to an occult noir game instead.
It's not too different from when TF2 pivoted from a realistic military shooter to a humans vs aliens game, to what it ended up becoming.

ohh now they can blame woke faggots for its failure.

mobaslop

shooter game

dark occult vibe

noir detective aesthetics

made by Valve

motherfucking Seven

it's like this game was fucking made for me. I'm still waiting for the Open Beta hoping the added heroes add a lot of gameplay and match diversity. Also fuck the current queue system, I want Hero Draft already.

Either way, the moment to moment gameplay is really solid. Still think it peaked with 4 lanes, but the 3 lane setup seems fine from what little I played. I just wish IceFraud didn't have such a hate boner for farming jungle. The jungle is so fucking boring.

4 lanes was fun but everyone was shit at the game still. If they pivot it back it would turn into a ratting backdoor mess

could have chosen any nignog or goblino on the roster

Game…development? I don’t think you understand just how unfinished Deadlock actually is.

that thing should never have appeared at any point in development

Regardless of how anyone feels about what Deadlock is and what it’s trying to be I think it’s interesting to see how the sausage is made.

On that I can agree. At least they pivoted about as hard as humanly possible to something kinda interesting.

I would unironically play a character that looks like this because she looks funny

Concord wasn't free, but if it was I would play the fat negress because obese sheboons are a hilarious archetype.

wdym? You're just able to peak behind the veil more than most devs due to it being an early early alpha with a bunch of experimental updates.

This is the perfect face for Ivy. Hope they don't go full mouse mode but she also is WAY too fucking ugly right now. I have no idea what they were thinking making her balding.

That the gargoyle girl (gargirl if you will) was the one that ended up being one of the more popular characters to the confusion of the devs will always amuse me. It's like BioWare with the alien companions in Mass Effect.

Sweetbaby INC got fired. Coombros, we are BACK

I think it’s because so many people prefer

human

white

male

fighter

characters for their protagonist/created character. So they think that people want that primarily. What they don’t understand is that players want to create idealized versions of themselves who get to hang out with cool weirdos and have sex with cute weirdos.

This is such an upgrade but I'm sad she's no longer an opera singer.
That's a good point. Even at 3 lanes there always feels to be an empty lane to push. With how mobile everyone is, 4 lanes would make defending lanes such busy work unless everyone on your team is alert for rats. I think 3 lanes make picks more important, you could honestly get away with pushing a walker while everyone was up because 6 other players might already be busy in the 3 other lanes

For Mass Effect, I think people latched onto Garrus or Wrex and even Tali more was that the main character should be the one who's meant to be the audience surrogate to explain the world to. Having Kaiden and Ashley be roughly similar in role doesn't work, so they become pretty bland in comparison to space cop who doesn't like the red tape that stops him from getting the perps, old warrior man upset by his own peoples shortsightedness, and cute awkward girl on her coming of age journey.

In ME1 it felt like Kaiden and Ashley were supposed to be the two most important companions but by the end of the trilogy even Bioware knew that Shep’s closest allies were Garrus, Wrex, and Tali.
And I guess Liara too but that always felt like Bioware’s own waifufagging.
