@ToxicAssWhore @goober70000 Parrying without rebuttal isn't good for that exact reason imo. If you parry everything, puddle punch still acts as a lockdown, and a viscous probably isn't trying unless he's already at an HP advantage / trying to chase. Rebuttal turns the lockdown into full heal + global amp

@TempoZP @goober70000 My problem is more the fact you basically have to commit to staying in place with a parry which can help enemies catch up to you or reposition in a way that just screws you over anyways. IDK how they would address this aspect though.

I truly hope they nerf the ball stun duration and splatter radius on viscous instead of the cool and skillful stuff like dribbling, this hero is really unhealthy rn and the last time he was this op was in 2024 when he last had perma stun, so hopefully they change the right thing

@ToxicAssWhore @goober70000 I think puddle punch charges are probably fine. Rebuttal is basically the hardest counter to puddle punch in the entire game. People are just stubborn and don't want to pay the cheapest item tax in the game (800) to get full healing / super OP damage amp from Viscous.

@goober70000 They prolly need to do something about the delay between puddle punch charges too

@Super__Yan Some grocery stores post COVID really started to abuse the fact that many shoppers (ie: the elderly) who are stuck in habits don't change stores. Cub Foods used to be the discount grocery store in Minnesota, and it ended up as a rip off. My Mom had no idea before I told her.

@TKbreezy Also any example of someone succeeding in said competitive games without the high end credentials likely would have been vastly larger if they had them.

@TKbreezy Depends on the game. Games like Rust probably have the most diverse content out there because of the multiple ways to play. For games with a focus on the high end, I think making content without being in the highest skill tier is enormously hard due to lacking credibility.

How does one who is like the equivalent of high plat/low diamond in every game he’s ever played make meaningful content for the games you like to play?

@carpUNI There's some dispute on the ultra beginning origin of combos for sure. But fighting games in general probably have the most emergent mechanics of any genre historically - especially when you look at sub genres like tag fighters.

One of the worst / least informed takes I've ever read. Most of modern gaming is built on mechanics that started as emergent gameplay. Everything from FGC combos, most forms of FPS movement / aim, RTS / MOBA fundamentals. All taken to wild places the designers never expected

@Super__Yan I tried it out of curiosity. It's basically just a quarter pounder in a slightly different package but at a way higher cost Not worth.

@GenericEdBoi Well the entire system is pointed at the top end of competition because that's what Night Shift is focused on. Also both Abrahams and MLC have lost in the last week, so within the bounds of top competiton both are clearly beatable under the right circumstances lol.

If you’re not already a top 3 team good luck lol. I genuinely think it’ll be 1-2 years before we see a proper underdog team win anything in Deadlock.
Deadlock Night Shift@DLNightShift

Introducing Bonus Pay! Starting with Shift #29 we are implementing a 'Bonus Pay' bounty system to spice up Deadlock competition. If a team defends their title we will be adding money to their bounty. Every week, challenging teams will compete for not only the normal prize pool but also to snatch the champ's accumulated bounty. If a challenging team wins just one map against the defending champs, they will still take 50% of the bounty. However, if a champion team defends their title for 5 consecutive weeks, they will take home whatever is left of their bounty. There is even more incentive now for teams to take down the top dogs, and for champions to crush all challengers.

Wraith, Vindicta, Dynamo. Definitely want to see all 3 make a return sooner rather than later.

Shift #28 is tomorrow, with the potential for a balance patch hitting before the show! Who do you want to see buffed before the Shift starts?

On the eve of a potential balance patch, a new Shift approaches. Familiar faces, but rumors of improvement in both EU and NA abound. Is this the week @Abrahams_DL and @MeleeCreepsDL get tested? Gotta clock in to find out! (Now with actual fixed date. Oops.)

What is it going to take for Blizzard to change these false emails? Having an automated report system ban your world champion MVP with the phrase "we did a careful review of the evidence" is absurd. The statement is a factual lie. Why have a system that lies about the process? It's truly stupid, and the format of these emails (as well as the appeals process) is in dire need of an overhaul.

@FniaSP I think it's probably unlikely at least any time in the near future. Particularly when the game is still carving out it's main identity. I do think it would be a massive event if it happened though, and it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

Valve could break the internet with Deadlock if they do a cross over 6 hero drop: Scout, Demoman, Spy, Heavy, Medic, Soldier. You can definitely find a way to justify it in lore. Also, just IMAGINE Scout in Deadlock's movement system.

Deadlock Night Shift@DLNightShift·
Curious about the meta this week? Look below for the revised Shift #27 list! Celeste ended back up in jail for all of one game today - most did not dare to face her after last week. Venator ranked up in priority taking multiple first bans in EU. Frontline remains king - taking the most top pick / ban slots overall as the highest value role yet again. Silver's win rate fared a little better this week, but doubters remain strong despite her 100% pick / ban rate for another week in a row.

Excited to see the return of Oses this week in EU - should make Leviathan vs Lowkey W very interesting. BWC got a week off last week, so we'll see if they have a different take on NA drafts with the full 6 heroes out now.
Deadlock Night Shift@DLNightShift

Tomorrow, we enter into the second week of play with all new heroes unlocked! Leviathan and Lowkey W resume their rivalry in EU in where Oses will make his return to play for Levi this week. Meanwhile in NA, BWC returns. Will the time off help them vs Floormen?

@myrtenastr @HyperBooper Again, as noted for ability names it depends on the name and situation. None of this says don't use wordplay either. But in general in a hectic team fight, you'd rather say barrel over "powder keg." Technically Holliday herself says barrel over it too.

@TempoZP @HyperBooper imagine if “faker’s shockwave will find them all” was instead “faker’s ult will find them all”. imo casters should embellish as much as they possibly can to heighten the stakes of a fight / game. the most iconic calls are not cut & dry commentating done in the name of efficiency.

Time for a Deadlock casting PSA: You are casting for the viewers. Use the language the viewers understand. When you do things like call the lanes Greenwich, Broadway, or York you don't show expertise - you show ignorance. No one uses those terms in actual gameplay.

One ability name example to the above: Bebop Hook. One of the most universal callouts that everyone calls hook under all circumstances. Technically, it's in-game name is grapple arm. If you call it grapple arm on broadcast, no one is going to know what the fuck you're saying.
