11 Deadlock Tips I Wish I Knew Sooner

[@JerrenT]

I would use the map 'dl_streets' over 'streets_test' as the latter is the outdated map, while dl_streets is the up-to-date one

[@THumpYT]

[@seekerTV]

One advice that you could add is : if you farm the jungle and you have like 1500-2000 unsecured gold, avoid joining a fight until you get your next item. If you lose your bag, you are basically giving the enemy team your entire jungle farm

[@THumpYT]

@@seekerTV true I was racking my brain thinking of things and this would have been good. also could have shown people how to access the 13 unreleased characters but I’m brain dead

[@deatholon3415]

Parrying the guardian is insane

[@THumpYT]

3 seconds of no damage is life or death a lot of times on tower dives. You can practice it in Sandbox with any character

[@zipel]

u can parry troppers too xd

[@Smokingman25]

Did you also know that if you double tap crouch on a zipline it will give you a speed boost towards the ground? It's a great way to get on the ground fast.

[@minkblanket9632]

hey bro thanks for the tips, do you know how to make it so the troopers dont spawn in the citadel? the console command doesnt seem to work for me

[@kevinperry3137]

Why is the diagonal dash important for gaining momentum off a zip line? I've been realizing that every streamer I'm watching is either doing a diagonal or almost sideways jump to maintain the majority of momentum. Forward dashing just slows you down more?

[@ben2474]

since deadlock is a Valve game it's on source engine and any movement that is sideways or using some sort of strafe key will have you moving faster/send u farther simply because of how the source engine works with strafing...

[@THumpYT]

@@ben2474 GOAT explanation

[@mindblow4248]

goin diagonal "adds" up the speed of both sideways and forwards, just like the diagonal of a square is bigger than its edges, dats just how the source engine does it

3:46 you said doodoo

[@itsmesometimes5878]

dont use map street_test because thats the old map, use map dl_streets instead

[@nergal2741]

i mean, early kills are not as bad as previously, because zip line boost is on cooldown for the first ~5-6mins. So if you damage or kill them early, you deny them of souls and exp farm and can do about 1, maybe 2 waves for your own and buy 2 items while he has 0 for example. Also each kills gives some amount of souls, it's not much at the beginning, but doing 2-3 kills you can afford at least 1 more item than your opponent and start creating a gap. Often it's the one guy getting fed like 5 kills on his lane is getting ahead and starting to carry the game because he has such a souls advantage

[@proxy4233]

pretty sure zipping back to spawn, healing, then zipping back creates a bigger soul gap than simply just dying

[@jehreetv]

@@proxy4233 I doubt it. Earliest death timer is what, 5 seconds? You should be able to get back to base and heal to full in 5 seconds. And that isn't considering the fact that the kill gives souls to the person who killed you.

[@Raj_2904]

How do you ping that an item is ready? Middle mouse clicking doesnt work

press tab, hover over urself/enemy hero, and click the item/ability shown in the menu that pops up

pretty sure the dev command puts you into the old map. is there a command for the updated version?

thump 2024

[@sejisen2346]

2:52 how to do that?

[@jakesoto4669]

Left click on the ability you want to unlevel for example if you upgraded the level 2 abilities left click on that one. Has to be done fairly quick and can’t have used your ability.

[@THumpYT]

Yeah sorry I should have explained it better. For example on Pocket, if you accidentally ranked Flying Cloak to rank 2(when you wanted to get Barrage rank 2) you can left click Flying Cloak back to rank 1(if you haven’t used the ability yet) and put those points into Barrage. If this doesn’t make sense I will personally make a video explaining it just let me know!

[@sejisen2346]

@@THumpYT Yea I get it now

[@346ask]

Early game kills not equating for anything is probably the dumbest shit about this game. Compared to Dota (what it seems to be based off of), kill are HUGE and can make or break the lane / game. Outplaying someone just do be slightly ahead of them or even is rtarded.

[@346ask]

Oh ya and great tips.

[@mindblow4248]

he explained it badly, obv kills help alot, esp after zipline boost nerf, wat he meant to say is killin the enemy and than just goin to roam instead of staying in lane is bad super early, obv different for duo lanes but even just missing a single wave is 300+ souls which is basicly a t2 jungle

@@mindblow4248 I still think early game kills are under tuned.

Do creeps have 360 degrees vision? Also they see invisible?

[@DokterRhezaGaming]

i think yes. i once hide behind shadow weave, and troopers can see me even though enemy don't

[@proxy4233]

why does nobody talk about how little souls you get from kills i figured it’d be one of the most complained about things because it makes laning sometimes feel super uninteractive and insignificant. i genuinely think it’s better to keep your laner alive and trying to farm from their walker than actually killing them

[@THumpYT]

@@proxy4233 I’ve discussed this a lot but if you kill someone 4 times in lane they should not be able to be close to your soul amount imo. It’s super annoying to me

[@proxy4233]

i think even 1 kill when a wave is crashing should put you at a significant advantage, or forcing someone to take a bad base. it’s the one thing about the game i just don’t understand the ideology behind especially when healing rite can completely nullify a bad trade. i think they should make rite and extra regen give zero stats so it feels a lot worse to have to buy it early

great video. how little kills matter is the shittiest part of this game.

[@dylancrosby2451]

They matter a lot more when they have unsecured souls or when they have a larger amount of souls than you, as kills are worth more on players with the highest soul counts. This means that if you have the most souls, you want to die less.
