Deadlock's Newest Update Is Miserable

[@SaltyPhishLIVE]

Not sure if all of this context was in the vid, but I did not read the numbers right and I thought my rank “VI” was 4, so when I later realized, Sam still thought I actually started out as rank 4 and so i thought I was ranking up during these games LMAO

[@andusz5518]

It's alright champ your brain is still recovering from getting a win at playoffs

[@nakfyre9512]

But you did though, the higher the number the higher your rank. If you went from 4 to 6 then you increased your rank. It works from 1 to 6, not 6 to 1

[@andusz5518]

@@nakfyre9512 he misread the roman numeral 6, VI, for the roman numeral 4, IV

[@nakfyre9512]

@andusz5518 I got that, but if he was a lower number before then his rank went up.

[@andusz5518]

@nakfyre9512 Bro he wasn't a lower number before that's the whole point. He misread the number in the first place

"New update is miserable!" >first thing you see is multiple clips of the player laughing and having fun

[@feetenthusiast1015]

“We haven’t won a game all day”

[@lfwalrus]

I think negative content on utube gets more clicks

[@SkeleMann]

10:30 I like how the editor keeps this in to show Phish does NOT know his roman numericals from the earlier clip where he called VI 4 (Fun Deadlock fact, Ivy is called that because she has a "IV" on her body tattood, alongside the overgrowth abilities ofc)

[@gb_ta381]

When all the games are ranked, none of the games are ranked.

[@ufuk5872]

It feel the same. You either get an baby abram with 1/16 or hydrogen abram that went on a 21 killstreak.

[@nakfyre9512]

So, context for the ranking system in Deadlock: Personal performance is absolutely being read during matches and will significally impact your rank, as will Losses. Losing or Winning a game decides if you rank up or down, but how much you gain or lose depends purely on skill. That is unless we are talking about calibration. While calibrating your rank, Wins and Losses will count but they are less important than personal performances. You can lose 6 out of 10 matches and get Emissary if you play well, but you can Win 7 out of 10 and still fall on Alchemist if you are playing badly during calibration.

7:37 actually a sick as hell play

[@Shibzahara]

I have 200 ish hours in the game. New to mobas and now forced to play with sweaty ascedants trying to rank up. They’re constantly telling me what to do with terms I don’t understand nor care to. I just want to play care free again. Now I get berated and I’m not having fun. Nor are my teammates.

[@Maxxatron]

14:07 - 14:50 This is the most hilarious impression of a real toxic rank chat. They each have lil bits and all know the pain of getting stuck with **THOSE** teammates that are just rude and make the experience unbearable

[@stonersudowoodo7143]

I’m really hoping they revert this

[@braydenferguison4584]

i want to believe its temporary just for the alpha so the already dwindling playerbase gets games without insane que times, having two different ques also makes it so understanding the "meta" and getting information on heros is alot more difficult, compared to everyone playing with eachother to see who and what needs tweaking, and also making it easier to just focus on core art/gameplay/ect that still needs a lot of work without stretching the limited devs on so many different projects specifically to appease the playerbase, rather than continue to get the game to a release state

[@TheChuff_]

I miss solo cue only. Forced people to actually talk to their teammates

[@braydenferguison4584]

@ you can force your game to be solo que only through commands but i do agree that solo que only ques was really nice

[@lellex5649]

I have one high rated acc and one lower, the one higher is just full sweats and the lower one I get at least 1 leaver in the game. very depressing

[@khanzy.]

I want solo/duo ranked. Let people duo lane with people they wanna. No more than that.

[@justuspickle]

watching phish play deadlock feels almost the same as watching him play overwatch back when it came out. which is a little weird because my tastes have changed a lot since then, i'm so glad our boy salty isn't an unchanging automaton made purely for the entertainment of the masses

[@yeheed6607]

For some reason im emissary 3 and ive not played in over 3 months, im getting my ass BEAT. I didnt even have ranked unlocked before this change!

[@MyuNeptune]

Where there was no hope left in our heroes hearts...the blessing of comms shined upon them. They stomped the enemy with confidence and conquered the unknown...name VICTORY!

[@maxwellholzwarth9651]

After ranked for deadlock disappeared I was done

[@Goatman_inc]

yet another phish banger

[@Wallahinc]

Mr. Phish I have never played a MOBA can u explain plz. I watch these videos but I have no fucking clue what’s happening

[@Innuya]

I've also never played a moba (I know I'd be bad). The objective of the game is to defeat the enemy's base, before they get yours. On the NPC side there are towers in the way as well as little minions. You gain experience/monies by defeating them, and can purchase upgrades and power-ups with said money. You can also acquire monies by defeating bosses/mobs that spawn (typically timer-based), or finding them scattered across the map (destroyable objects). on the player side, fights are high risk/high reward, since players deal much more damage than the minions do. The respawn timer is long to encourage rolling. that's all I feel like typing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Jack-wx7yh]

Game is dead. Look at the player count.

[@jakepfrag]

They should keep this until the full game.
