Are these players from wolverhampton tho😂😂😂

Face ur fear

tf happened to this channel also where is myska

Where is that episode 2 😭

best explanation dude

Came here to try and figure out Lucio for overwatch classic

I remember this and watching in the present feels so odd, like we all know how popular winston is now, and people also find zarya to be very fun, at least when it was double tank still

Great video man! Makes me happy even as a beginner i get complimented on my wave management xD

Is the podcast published to Spotify yet?

It's interesting to see how different it looks just a month later

Speaking of valve adding clarity, I wish they just made midboss spawn at 8 minutes so that the midboss cry gives a clear "end" to laning phase. Right now a lot of people don't realize they are splitting souls at 8 minutes.

you said not to take guardian which is really bad advice. The shop gets shut down. The souls themselves are a great bonus but now the lane itself is super easy to gank and start taking their jungle as well just bad advice. If you can take the guardian it is always 100% worth it especially if you kill the guy and its free dmg

i am in a 20 game lose streak, i am kind of losing my mind . I can not understand what am i doing wrong ! And why is that happening now. i had 70%wr in my first 100 hours and then I forgot what the victory screen looks like

Reminder to have fun in the game no matter what rank you are and remember this game isn't serious at all right now and is still in development

Awesome in-depth review of all recent changes. Thanks Deathy for your insight!

I very much enjoy these longform patch discussions, looking forward to future episodes! A name suggestion would be "On-Air Autopsy"

you should links deathys socials too, or whoevers on

Withering Whip might be the only item I've never ever bought. Too many spirit items with actives competing for slots, not to mention a lot of universally useful spirit items that aren't actives (reach, cooldown, duration, etc). Whip should probably be a weapon damage item, as those slots are pretty lacking on active effects, then they can also potentially rework the active to lean more towards offensive or defensive effect.

As a new/bad player, I just want games where I'm matched with other new/bad players. I'm less than 20 games in and I'm playing with people with near 1,000 games played yelling at me for not ulting at the exact right time. Like, WTF... I just started playing this game this week, get off my back.

Deathy is so unlikable

At some point I think the devs need to consider rebalancing early soul gains. It makes early leads not matter nearly as much when one engagement in the mid-game can entirely erase that souls difference due to scaling soul values over time. Too many games where I'm even in souls to someone I denied for the first 5 minutes and killed 4 times just because I get ganked and die one time. Comeback mechanics combined with scaling souls end up with most of my games lately basically being dead even until a late late game fight that results in a Rejuvenator and base push to end. I had multiple wins yesterday with teammates who were 0/8/0 in the first 10-15 minutes, because as long as we as a team weathered through the first enemy Rejuvenator, if we won a fight after farming the minions worth 4x as much as the early minions, then take the next Rejuv, we would just win the game. Feels like the first half of the game isn't meaningful unless you can coordinate your team, and even if you can, you're relying in most of your lanes winning, because if half your lanes win and half lose you probably stall out in mid game. The game goes to 30 minutes and the early game basically never mattered. I'm not the BEST player, but I'm in the top 3 ranks with very few ranked games played (so room to climb) and nearly every match is like this. With worse players the stalling problem is even more severe. All this is exacerbated by the new Urn comeback mechanic. You get actually punished for having too big of a lead. If you have just under the threshold to trigger the comeback Urn delivery, then you can extend your lead even further with an easier Urn delivery. If you go just over the threshold then it's EXTREMELY hard to deliver the first Urn. Losing that Urn often closes the lead gap significantly. Also while I'm on an Urn rant - why are they forcing it to spawn next to the solo lanes? The reason LoL meta evolved to have the duo lane in bottom lane is because it was closest to the dragon. A solo laner doesn't want to run Urn across the map because they give up an entire lane, so a duo laner has to run to another lane and then run across the map and then back to their lane - in early game that can take a significant amount of time and result in lost objectives.

you can call it DeathLock Central or something like that

It feels like there are too many green items you need to buy right now. Most characters need armors, you need soul rebirth, and for characters that lack mobility you need at least one of the green mobility items

I like the idea of soul rebirth being a disposable item. Basically once it’s used up you have to buy it again

Deathy mentioning his Meta report series at the end is very topical to me, tbh I dont really know what build to use after balance patches until he releases that video haha. It was certainly that video that pointed me into the Geist build I use and melee shiv build before that. For a player like myself, I take a look at pages of patch notes and dont really know how all the changes affect current builds that I am using.

27:35 that's not why people played league, the people who started riot killed dota1 by removing it from garena and tournaments (ESL, etc.)... dota wasn't there to play, so people played what remained.

Great podcast! Deathy should let people know about it in his Discord

For the double urn thing, I don’t even really mind if a team lines up a 14:30 urn fight to get two urns back to back. Sounds like a reasonable reward for good timing

Lmao nothing happened for 12 min come on 😂

Wait a deadlock podcast with actual high-level insight!? You son-of-a-bitch I’m in!

Deathlock Central

12:23

Bruh can you edit and cut out the first 5 min tag you had tech issue….

I just watch your podcast episode on mauisnake’s channel. Cool stuff Ryan.

I must have been moved from the noob lobby to the pro lobby last night because my first 15 games of Deadlock went very well, but last night I was absolutely steam rolled 4 games in a row. Made me want to uninstall it was so bad.

Good stuff

I always dominate lane but drop the ball during roaming and then start really forgetting farm, then I start coming back late game... sometimes haha. I think its because I come from a moba background but suck as hero shooter player

Its frustrating as a newer player who has played a ton of mobas to be on teams that are just so focused on fighting the enemy players that it feels like getting souls secondary to them.

They allowed lucky shot to trigger off Haze’s ult. Sure she got plenty of nerfs but that alone is huge when combined with ricochet. Haze is still one of the most dangerous hero’s when fed, full stop.

I’m new to moba but my bf who I have been duoing with has been playing dota for years. I definetly drag the team down so I needed this 😂 I’m an fps player so I focus way too much on the enemy

Idk why but a minute in and I’m like, why is his voice so familiar. Oh, from Overwatch😅

Im f*cking losing it over the serious explanation as i look at two models T-posing for lane dominance

Maybe im just an average or bad player even, but in the "advance" preview of infernus lane, infernus actually be the worst laners you could get on that team, he win twice in a fight but doesnt really impacting anything and even being the worst as networth in the end.

I've never played Kelvin is his character model always like that 😅

I would never categorize a winrate at or above 50% as "really struggling," personally. In terms of character balance, that's where they're gonna want these characters to be, long-term: nestled right up against that 50% benchmark. Though you simultaneously seem to classify any winrate above 50% as "high winrate" in the list...if you're farming engagement, it technically worked, but seriously man?

It’s cool to see how fluid trades are at the higher levels, always love watching super efficient movement/gunplay💪🏼 This actually gives me a lot of confidence because I played the hell out of Valorant, CS, Dota, League, CoD’s, and I’m talking 100’s to 1000’s of hours in each. I feel I’ve been waiting for this game for a years now and just didn’t know it! Love your videos 💪🏼

One thing I'm disappointed you didn't touch on in the "pro" section is the itemization, and how it's being done not just as a reaction to how well the lane is going, but a specific game plan as well - look at what infernus buys. You wouldn't normally buy melee lifesteal to sustain in lane when you're getting shoved in hard, he was preparing to force a fight with a parry, and be capable of recovering some health when forced into melee with abrams.

Was instantly like: oh I remember this guy from overwatch

I'm absolutely cheeks at laning, but I can usually catch up by mid game due to my good jungling. Hoping this can fix me lol.

0:50 I started at less than this point (never played a MOBA other than Pokemon Unite, and not much of it)
