DEADLOCK - Shiv is BROKEN - How to win with Shiv (showcase)

[@Deathy]

Hey guys - thanks for the comments and feedback. I hear you on the audio - will be fixed for any upcoming videos. Hope you guys get to have some fun with Shiv while he's still broken!

[@mcride6796]

Great video! Been loving Shiv. Played a lot of the spirit bleed build but can see the insane potential of his gun build. Will be looking out for more! (also, Leech isn't antiheal, it reduces the effect of enemy antiheal)

[@winnietheweeaboo6533]

Item Build for reference: --------------------------------------------------- Close Quarters Healing Rite Superior Stamina Restorative Shot Berserker Sprint Boots Bullet Resist Shredder Heroic Aura Reactive Barrier Improved Cooldown Siphon Bullets

[@MattiKettu]

Is this somewhere available as a build? Still learning the item slots so saves a bunch of time to have it cooked into a build.

[@calvinleeboy]

some of these items aren't in your build in game

[@recessiv3]

FYI Close Quarters is currently bugged and doesnt workk with shivs right click. In fact, all conditional damage boosters dont work with shivs right click

[@andrewcathcart]

Subbed - would love more content like this. Game replays with commentary are great.

they just mixed all their franchizes and called it a new game lol. They obviously ran out of ideas. There's literally nothing new that they didn't have in their previous games

@@FloppaTheBased the ziplines are new, this 50s + supernatural aesthetic is not that common, specially with this crispy hellboy like designs, stealing farm from the other team is also new. So you are just hating like a 2024 gamer who needs to always make everything seem like they are the worse of all time, i prefer this game over league of sleep time because that shit is so repetitive and boring

[@cibiboo]

Them teabagging you and remaining unbothered is the type of calm I need to be. Gj on the vid

[@rubencarvajal9686]

if people tbagging you gets you mad in a kids game especially one in beta then u need therapy lol

[@TraeBaldwin]

Just a part of gaming, friendo. Just tbag em back when u kill em. Someone did it to me first death last night and then we rolled them late game and I had my whole team tbag that one person 😂

[@DickGarrison]

Nice gameplay, you learned me alot about the game in general, thanks!

[@donovanpayne1587]

The Kelvin was so tilted lmao. I'm imagining a sweaty, super hot red faced guy behind the screen playing the freeze hero

[@dirgeofthedawn]

Been playing the game for a minute now and when I saw this pop up I was like "nah, he's probably just farming for content or something", and then you showed the players in the lobby and knew you were legit. I've been watching a lot of the top MMR matches to try and learn characters, obv. Sinatraa is well-known but dudes like randall and Ceph are names I see constantly in top MMR as well. Your gameplay is super solid, reminds me I gotta learn to more effectively farm camps. I like what you said at 7:20 - I mostly see Spirit-based Shivs but I gotta try doing just a gun build instead. Any thoughts on Abrams? I feel like he's also kind of broken if you can get early game picks and snowball.

[@abogmus8904]

any hero is broken if you can get early game pick-offs and snowball. except maybe Kelvin and Mr. Black Hole

[@calvinleeboy]

is sinatraa the valorant player?

[@DanTheCopy]

@@calvinleeboy overwatch goat

[@oceantume]

@@abogmus8904 "except maybe Kelvin" - IDK man it's maybe not as broken as others but spamming ice bombs and lasering people out of the game with his 3rd skill after getting a bunch of early strong spirit items is ridiculous

[@mas0ny149]

Awesome vid, good commentary, game audio was a bit loud though so it was sometimes hard to hear your voice. Love the insight into the build as well is there a build in game thats public that I could use for my games? Been trying spirit based shiv but it feels pretty lackluster imo and was looking around for other approaches when I found your vid

[@Deathy]

Just added in-game build - Deathy's Weapon Shiv - Top MMR Build. Spirit Shiv is also broken right now, but you have to play around the dash (2) and not the knife. Knife is bait IMO. You're right for the audio, it'll be fixed next video. More to come!

[@mas0ny149]

@@Deathy thanks :) Im looking but i cant find it, I only see you other one that says "Deathy's Shiv Build - Updated 2024-08-18"? is that the one? Also looking forward for more content :)

[@DustAdventures]

It's hard to tell but are you using his right click often or just primary fire? Also that tbag from kelvin felt personal lol

[@frankhiltrew9552]

Do you ever use the right clicks on this character? The one that uses 2 ammo instead of 1

[@chertovorot_tb]

right click is a great tool for escaping, while sliding. Try it out!

[@crimnvL]

hilarious this game has theater mode before valorant

[@G7_Productions]

I KNEW he was op. I was doing the spirit knife build and it felt kinda underwhelming till late game. This seems like a much more balanced approach. If you can add the build in game that would be amazing! Good vid bruv

ive tried this build a bunch and just cant make it work, spirit feels like much more healing and damage

[@lbybee9049]

Did you make a build for this in-game? That would be really helpful.

Yep! It's called "Deathy's Shiv Gun Build"

[@lbybee9049]

[@yx2iwwo7dyvuhj0p]

Fantastic breakdown! Any tips for early lane against a DOT character? I’m new to MOBAs and I had a real bad time against Infernus in a solo lane and was really behind on farm. Didn’t end well. I’m still learning all of the counter-items but maybe I should have tried Debuff Reducer? Also is there a match id for this one? Thanks!

[@joaosantos-er2mk]

hi, what is the site to check our mmr ? and second qustion i have is, whats the name of the build so i can look ingame ty

[@Deathy]

Hey! The build is Deathy's Weapon Shiv - Top MMR Build :) To check your mmr, there's a few websites, tracklock.gg is one of them. It's not very reliable but it gives you an idea

[@jacoblee5516]

LOOL sinatraa enemy gheist

[@brycegeurts3345]

I started playing a couple days ago and got wrecked non-stop. I started practicing and got better and stomped like 10 games in a row. Now I'm in a higher MMR bracket getting owned by shivs who are tryharding and denying every creep. I lose 100% of all trades, fights, and games against this hero. so I picked him and went 12/5 my first game. this hero is so broke lmao

[@Pistallion1]

When do you activiate your 3rd ability? Its kind of a confusing move

[@spookyanonymous1466]

What build did you use for this game?

[@amuro9624]

Icefrog is in charge of balancing so they'll probably buff underwhelming heroes rather than nerf the good ones based on what he's been doing with dota.

[@blackblackblackone]

[@bayodashi7283]

Hey thanks a lot for great video! I always felt weak with shiv but I've been only using spirit knives now I see why he is strong. Btw any possibility to add the skill order to the gun shiv build?

[@bigduck16125]

From the replay, the skill order is 1223242334344111 if anyone is looking to copy and edit the gun build.

[@SealArhArh]

Where do you see patch notes?

[@Deathy]

On the forums - video coming later though!

[@rightclick5729]

They should rework bloodletting into a active only ability where you can lnly defer damage on a cool down

[@SamuelBrokenaro]

Really nice video but the sound of the game is still too loud I'm not native english and sometimes I can't understand what your saying because of the game. Thanks for this really nice game and tutorial anyway !

Is m2'ing on Shiv worth it most of the time or should you reserve it for getting ult execute treshold / last hitting enemy.

Most of the time not worth it, there are specific situations where it is. If it's your last bullet before reload you should always m2.

can you please at the end of the match maybe just highlight over the items you have please

[@PsychosisPicksDeals]

A lot of times, in game and even in this video, it's hard to understand where damage is coming from, and I'm talking about what seemingly is an infinitely ticking damage with no apparent source indicator .

no way that kelvin disrespect him like that at 8:56

[@takiburistabol191]

4:25 for new players, you get ult at 3k souls.

[@itsbklol]

Confused - you say you max #2 before putting any points into anything else (excluding 1 point into 1), but I saw that you put points into 3 and 4 before 2 was maxed. Can you clarify?

[@Deathy]

Hey, I unlock the abilities but I don't put any points in them. If I did this game it may have been an exception, but generally speaking I go straight for the max 2 :) Hopefully that helps

[@itsbklol]

@@Deathy Oh I thought unlocking uses up a point as well. So to clarify, do you actually just do 1-2-2-2-max->4-3?

[@Deathy]

@@itsbklol To be perfectly clear, here's how to break it down: Unlock order: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 Upgrade order: 2-2-2, then upgrade the 3 and the 4 once, then max the 3, then max the 4 :) You can check out my in-game guide for the exact order (Deathy's Gun Shiv Build)

[@qlam1575]

Is it just me or does this guy not use bloodletting the whole game

[@RaNikstar]

Abrams great too. This big guy can smash all enemies... until first lucky Perry 😅😅

[@MonkeyCurler]

Really liked the video. Helped me realize taking on a shiv as a gheist is no bueno. Would love to see more of these guides. Also make the game audio lower. Ot drowns out your voice Also, to add, yeah, Shiv is a busted prock. Not much for anyone to do against him

[@Deathy]

Thanks for the feedback! Game audio was definitely way too loud - my bad.

[@SupaRush]

some characters in this game are super OP and some seem super weak

[@trillphiltv3053]

I think Abram’s stands a chance in that same fight.

[@ohhzymo5829]

When i played him i hated his early. Suddenly in late game i could easily dodge and spam 2 while dealing way too much dmg

[@Deathy]

Yeah his early game isn't the strongest out there, but once he gets online he's pretty much unstoppable

[@victorniceas711]

great video. game sound is too loud

[@MeatCousins]

What is that move you're doing at 5:12, is it a crouch dash? It's not your #2 cause the skill isn't going on cooldown?

[@johnny420xxx]

Its Shiv's second ability, it cuts too

dude you never use your 3 skill (bloodletting). there are SO MANY times it would be a great help and you ignore it.

[@dims4627]

I love playing him stacking daggers and bleed, if I'm having a good game they can never fully commit because the whole team is being bled from Bumfuck New Mexico before they can even come close. Haven't been matched against such a build yet but I imagine it's immensely annoying. Plus you get a ton of leech doing that
