CARRYING WITH POTATO AIM! Vindicta Gameplay | Deadlock

[@NiallWasTaken]

Vindicta honestly feels a lot more like Hanzo from Overwatch in the sense that I'd never trust a Vindicta on my team but any enemy Vindicta will rip my team to shreds

[@Doost311]

Eh, she is a lot easier to play than Hanzo, I would say Gray Talon is still most like Hanzo, not only because they are both bow dudes but it is a LOT easier to suck with Gray Talon, Higher skill floor and ceiling

[@keandreee]

Im sorry im one of the shit vindictas but I’m trying to learn!

[@DespiDND]

her bonus souls from execution are now shared with teammates that assist on the kill btw so yes always worth stealing the kill with the snipe for the team eco

[@atomicbomb1248]

13:24 BTW if you don't already know, you can see how upgraded an ability is based on the small visuals that appear around the ability icon after you upgrade it. The more upgraded it is, the more visuals appear around said ability. Though, weirdly enough, you can't see these visuals when it's on cooldown (or any other time you icons go dark, like meleeing).

[@teabagtheweeman4285]

Searched smite and got this, used to watch you playing conq on smite 1, I just lived life and come back to see you dabbling in this, can’t wait to see you get better and try ranked and hopefully post more content, your commentary style feels better, voiceover after is much more soothing personally , since you say what you should and shouldn’t of done and your humble, always liked your persona and personality, keep it going bro ! Love the vids

[@ThaKillaWarrior]

Those flying snipea are nasty. This is another example of a game knowing what is fun to do and implementing it. Another example is Kelvin skating around abd creating ice platforms.

[@arnlaugr]

I'm glad you're not pigeon-holing heroes into certain roles based on what type of gun they use. I see a ton of streamers and players in general who just assume Vindicta is a gun carry because she has a snipe and then completely ignore spirit items for most of the game. Same with a lot of heroes like Wraith, Warden, and even Ivy.

[@Doost311]

Its all preference, but I want to mention that Ivy has horrible spirit scaling. Her bomb is too easy to avoid, her utlimate is really slow to utilize mid fight, and they just nerfed the crap out of her gargoyle form. Wraith and Vindicta get on hit spirit damage that they can abuse with spirit builds

[@evenaarek1042]

appreciate you the showing the items a lot. very good addition

[@crazy338866]

3:58 Healing rite can heal you for almost your full health bar. The big problem with it is that taking damage from players or objectives (mid boss, guardian, walker) will cancel the effect early.

[@billy_bear_cave8703]

Snipers really do take a lot of practice to get a good hang of, but you had some nasty snipes, so you probably don't need much. 😂 And, yeah, her flight movement can be enhanced. She can zoom like crazy.

[@strix3055]

I like Quicksilver Reload on her 4/Sniper. Even more burst dmg and you practically shoot an infinite amount of time. EDIT: I just saw more of the video. I am one of those ppl that put the first 8 points into 4 lol. I do tend to play with faster recharge aswell and then sprinkle in quick scopes just for some extra dmg and for QS to proc.

[@MastYT]

@strix3055 I hadn't even thought about it since it wouldn't work on most ults, I'll try that

[@strix3055]

​@@MastYTYe, next time you want to relax and kind of hang back like you said at the end of the video haha. GGWP! I've been binge watching all your Deadlock videos, keep up the good work :)

[@sas408]

@@MastYT you'd better try full weapon dmg build. Instead of aiming with your ult you can do more damage (around 8k/mag). Additional bullet lifesteal constantly heals you

[@Doost311]

@@sas408 I like the spirit build that goes alchemical fire, snare + fire is one of the nastiest combos in the game IMO. 50% more damage to burning targets that are also taking 100dps from the fire and cant leave because of the snare is nutty. I can melt through pretty much anything with that

[@thetuerk]

Honestly the quickscopes become super worth as soon as you have Improved Burst too just to proc that delicious extra 9% max health damage. Then when it is time to execute, you are more than likely to have it off cooldown again!

[@Venzynt]

firing a long rifle from the hip looks so wrong wtf

[@steakwash8872]

Now play McGinnis, vindicta is temporary, Ymir wall is eternal

[@chrisjohnson2804]

I would think with the champions selected warden and vindicta / seven and lady geist. I actually like the cc GiestVicta comp has. V HARRASES and snaps snipes while LG zones and turns tables. Note I haven't watched the whole video yet. I think your doing well together 8:43

[@jeremyhicks4517]

2 things. This might seem annoying. I feel like the early game would have been a little cleaner if you worked on your parries. They are super clutch if you can pull them off early game. Also if the lash was so mad he couldn't ult you. He could have also purchased a 3000 soul item "knockdown" to bait your E shift, then Lash ult. But that would require brain power. One more thing. I heard the crow damage can get pretty crazy late game. Maybe a Crow spam vindicta game in the future? Also looking forward to double sleep dagger build.

[@khaoswizard2397]

He posted the double dagger video a few days ago I think

[@Doost311]

I'm a simple man, I see a vindicta I buy an anvil. I think people new to MOBA or maybe coming from a game like LoL where items don't counter specific champions need to get used to is items that you can build specifically to shutdown enemy players. Vindicta is weak to anvil, shuts down her snipe angles and bonus damage on hit. Bebop can have his double bomb removed and the bonus damage debuff from his punch removed by debuff remover Bepop can have his ultimate knocked by anvil seven can have his ultimate knocked by anvil Gray talon can have his ultimate knocked by anvil, gray talon can have flight knocked by anvil Haze can have her ultimate damage stopped on you by metal armor or you can get bullet reflection and send all her bullets back at her as well and out DPS her People get stuck on building damage when the game is FULL of active items that can just win you fights for free against certain carries. I can't tell you how many times I've played geist and just killed vindicta by throwing grief daggers at her, anviling, then throwing a bomb + 2nd daggers where she falls. Side note: people always pick one heal cut to build but the different healcut effects stack, you can go healbane and decay and your target will have their heal cut by both stacking multiplictively: both items combined grant about 70% healing reduction and decay will proc healbane immediately. toxic shots thrown in will basically turn off healing all together. So if you are against someone who is REALLY diving into healing - leech, bullet/spirit lifesteal, and already is playing something like Ivy or Wraith... You can just say no to them having 120% LS

[@khaoswizard2397]

@@Doost311 yeah. Items are much more important than any MOBA I’ve played. It’s like the developers knew people would get upset about balance and countering and what not and solved the problem before it started. Literally anything you can name that could make a character hard to beat can be countered through itemization.

[@Doost311]

@@khaoswizard2397 Yeah, I THINK DoTA is supposed to be kind of like that, but I haven't dove into that game enough to know, it is made by the same company though after all

[@nicjames5003]

Mast you gotta try the double bomb full spirit burst bebop build

[@derrendohlen9967]

Played 2 games of abrams with my friends... then watched an actual guide for the game afterwards. I open it again solo... and all of a sudden my UNBINDED developer console opens on my, "has been for yeeears melee button" (as abrams) not just that, but every time i do open it on accident, my game doesnt go back into full screen and i cant move because my mouse is still on the screen, until I tab out and and back in again. I have tried to fix it for 2 games, while putting melee on a different button, but every time when muscle memory kicks in, i just get a big engage and then just stop moving until I die because console opens. :) GG I GUESS!

[@miinyoo]

I would play this character, I love smooth bolts & scope, but I suck something pungent twitch aiming from the hip. Like even with practice suck. C'est la vis, I have Shiv to indulge in savage beat unmerciful instead. Same idea, opposite range spectrum.

[@Alec_Clay]

me (a smite player) trying to learn deadlock via guides and vids: "I am once again, asking for your support"

[@Macabre_Melody]

23:18 Paradox is basically bulding Sharpshooter as a core item if you're bulding snipe, since Kinetic Carabine (3) scales not from Spirit Power, but Weapon Damage instead.

[@ryndon15]

you're getting 270 to 300 fps, may i know what your pc specs are?

[@jogy1]

What is ur sens and dpi

[@chrisjohnson2804]

Wait if you have bad offense comps in dual lane why not have a champion switch over that can provide better support . Unless switching puts them in a worse one on one. Not saying Vindicta and Geist can't work well together. I just mean in general

[@GoBeyond4Balls]

Healing rite is busted you don't have to back if you have it.

[@jankowalski-el1un]

You can see how upgraded an ability is based on the outline on it

[@tonyluiscomedy]

People seem to wildly overestimate how much shooting skill actually matters in this game.

[@1clippedit643]

thats my enemy vindicta

[@pyranna2003]

I had a game against an aimbotting Vindicta and Grey Talon duo the other day. Spent the entire game being slammed in the head from 100miles away any time I even slightly peeked from cover. 0/10 would not want again.

[@jonathanrussell6525]

0/10 being the rating of the match or your KD? …sorry, had to XD

[@dylancardoso7655]

Use ur builds on every character tbh. U gonna stick with this game or move to smite 2 eventually?

[@talosisoursavior3061]

Day 114 of asking on behalf of that other guy for Bacchus adc with full mage adc build/attack speed so late game when autoing you become a beyblade

[@Tom-gp2uo]

Deadlock is entirely more of a shooter than OW by a mile, idk what you’re smoking lol OW literally has a bunch of characters that are full melee, or auto lock on and don’t require aim at all.

[@Ninjippo]

OW is literally THE hero shooter. Every other game is a blend of styles like tactical or MOBA for deadlocks case. Deadlock is way more MOBA than it is shooter

[@JohnWilson-cs8tw]

Playing her now sucks. They nerfed her rate of fire harrrrrd

[@SeekDante]

There are no melee characters. Everyone shoots a form of firearm.. It is not a shooter.. Right..

[@HexyHazey]

There’s farm and gold and stuff. Overwatch (a shooter) doesn’t have that 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@goodworkaugustus]

Vindicta is the least fun to play against, she is way too safe

[@austinwhaley816]

"Bebop is so dumb!" Says the guy playing the character that has a hitscan execution with unlimited range. Bebop's ult has been nerfed so hard recently because of all the people that complain about it. Love the videos - keep it up!

[@squidman3484]

Conveniently leaving out that Bebop's ult covers basically the entire lane and has the hitbox of a semi truck

[@austinwhaley816]

@@squidman3484 I don't believe that to be entirely accurate. Slow turn radius when ulting makes engaging multiple or moving targets difficult. Hitbox is limited to the beam directly, though, can be upgraded with spirit items if you invest. (AOE at end of beam only works within line of sight) Also because it is a channeled ult it can be counted by "knockdown" which has a cast range farther than his ult for only 3000 souls (with a faster cooldown as well). I think bebops ult is criminally underpowered for what it is. Like Seven's ult you have to respect it or you will die to it and insanely easy to counter ult if you want (for cheap)

[@IIYaBoiJonny]

@@austinwhaley816 u can just buy unstoppable to keep channeling bepop ult, and seven's ult has the same issues as bepop where u can just stun him out of it both ults are only countered by items or kit specific cc. Bepop ult imo is stronger in lane cuz u can ult from behind ur team and unlike seven ult, u can hit ppl around corners cuz of the aoe

[@austinwhaley816]

@@IIYaBoiJonny you CANNOT hit people around corners with bebop's AOE, they reverted this the day after they added it. AOE respects LOS. re: counter counters, yes that is all true. However, now I need to invest in those things on top of already investing in the ult. Also also, counter counters are more expensive and than the counters they counter. Knockdown is 3000 souls with a 26sec cooldown and Refreshed/Unstoppable are 6200 souls with FAR more cooldown time than 26sec. My general point: Channeled ults (specifically Bebop and Seven) are underpowered for the cooldowns and rules around them

[@IIYaBoiJonny]

@@austinwhaley816 yeah but the ults are the way they are because even a couple senconds of channelling the ability turns fights, idk why u would want the beam and massive aoe ults to be even stronger. and the soul difference only reiterate my stance, it should be cheap to interrupt the ult to prevent the char from snowballing and expensive to negate all cc and keep the ult going. yeah i handt played since they reworked they roll backed the bepop stuff but even now its still really strong if u cant cc it. thats just imo tho, i get that some ppl wish to push 4 and kill the entire team
