Deadlock Tier List - Mirage Patch

[@eskie-gaming-deadlock]

Apologies for the noise at 1:30. My mic picked up my daughter running around the house. Also I said Shadow Strike instead of Phantom Strike.

[@doge9347]

Putting mirage in the thumbnail and not actually putting him on the tier list is probably gonna make some people upset. If you were to do something like this in the future I would say upfront as a disclaimer of sorts

[@eskie-gaming-deadlock]

I appreciate the feedback. I did touch on him, and he's mainly in the thumbnail because that's what the patch is known for. In the future I'll definitely add the new hero to the tier list

[@pyrobite8463]

I think people just don't play mginnis right in ranked. In the recent downtown showdown tourney the second place team had a player building support on her and heavily played around her walls and he carried some fights on her. People in random solo que games just split push or spam turrets which are both bad builds imo, instead of building things like rescue beam and healing booster and trying to save team mates with wall or deny enemy ults with it.

[@eskie-gaming-deadlock]

Ya I did watch that and was surprised how well the McGinnis played. McGinnis could have a bunch of untapped potential, but right now, I agree people don't play her right in solo queue

[@Edwo1]

"when yamato gets a head" yes that will make me happy

[@JohnJohnson-mf3dv]

This man is living in an alternate low elo reality

I hate tier list content but enjoy the discussion surrounding them.

[@AnthonyShuker]

so what do you think tier list content is if it's not a discussion surrounding them?

[@xenwall]

​@@AnthonyShuker The majority of standard interactions with tier lists are: 1) Looking up who's top tier so you can pick them. 2) Skipping to the timestamp with your main and either arguing that they aren't that strong or arguing that they're underrated.

[@littlekid137]

Seven in the C tier is an interesting choice. More like FFFF Tier

New Deadlock player here, started yesterday. How do you see your or others MMR?

[@eskie-gaming-deadlock]

The most reliable way to know MMR is how high you are on the watch tab in game. A website called tracklock estimates MMR based on the watch tab. I posted my two accounts in the description if you're curious. You can login to steam via the tracklock website to see your estimates MMR

[@jotacep]

@@eskie-gaming-deadlock thanks. can you briefly explain how mmr is calculated? i'm constantly winning games, with match nekoscore under 100. wtf is this.

[@matchabomb5474]

Insightful tier list thanks

[@hcmate]

Nice vid bro

[@DjNaste]

Keep branching out. I enjoy replay reviews, but would love a shorter form build review. A good idea would be to take the build path from a replay you liked, put together a basic build in the sandbox and talk about the philosophy of what it does and why/how. You could even publish those builds with your link to socials to increase your viewrship.

[@eskie-gaming-deadlock]

You read my mind. I'll be doing regular short form build guides starting with the next video :)

[@emmettvb]

I don’t understand how you wouldn’t be farmed as vindicta, ricochet rounds is all you need and then you can snowball out the wazoo. Nab a few kills with your maxed ult and you can get 11k in a few minutes easily.

[@SimplyEagle]

Oh boy. I can show you some Vindictas in my match history.

[@bagofbananas790]

Its kinda annoying how much seven gets nerfed despite the fact that he was never really that good to begin with. Like both his ult and his 2 were nerfed into the ground back to back

[@jebbush2014]

yeah meanwhile we got abram’s that can just punch me to death.

[@Ensyd]

No chance you put Vindicta in B. Her laning phase is oppressive, her damage is insane, her roam is insane, she basically has a 40% health execute, and she snowballs super hard with her ult. Mid to late she does incredible damage, she’s great against tanks and has incredible poke, she’s basically untouchable by most characters in the game, and her flight speed and mobility are better than most characters in the roster. What makes her B tier? She has no weaknesses especially later in the game when she picks up an ethereal shift to avoid knockdowns, stuns, etc.

[@eskie-gaming-deadlock]

Vindicta is incredibly squishy, and the chaos of solo queue people are going to be able to jump on you. In higher MMR matches players are going to be buying stuff like knockdown to counter you. In coordinated team play I think I'd place her higher, but I've seen plenty of times where fed Vindictas can't carry the game because their team isn't good enough to stop people from pushing her

[@Ensyd]

@@eskie-gaming-deadlock Haze is squishy, Wraith is Squishy, I’ve seen a lot of the good Vindictas build pretty heavy into survivability and knock down is horrendous, the buff made it a bit more viable but her initial flight takes her so far away, with extra stamina she can usually create good distance before she gets stunned. Even with her range nerf the falloff comparison from her gun compared to others makes her so strong in duels or skirmishes. Yeah you could argue if your team is getting absolutely stomped and they get ran over so you follow suit she’s not good, but the same applies to basically all of the carries. If you’re talking about Pubs, she’s one of the strongest characters out there. I was top 0.57% when the API was available and I had only played for a week so I’m sure my MMR is higher now. My games are sweaty, meta characters meta builds, and I basically never see Vindicta not do well. She might not be on the same level as Pocket but I think she’s more oppressive than most of the champs you put in B and A tier.

[@bandito6587]

No flame but "high mmr solo queue player" is that even a thing? this games only in invite access beta

[@KingBLUCK]

nope its just a way to get more views and/or to make your voice to be "heard" more because you are "high elo." the only "high elo" matches are the first 4 shown when you go to the "watch" tab in game

[@AmnesiuZ]

@@KingBLUCK Untrue. This game has a developed MMR system since day one. It even tracked it for a while but now it's just unseen but it is very much there. I pretty much only get into high skilled lobbies, if I were to play against newer players now they would uninstall immediately. So this is simply no clickbait but just like dota and other games it has an MMR system running and its actually pretty damn accurate. There are barely ever bad players in my lobbies and if they are, they are usually in duo with a friend that is good. Im a few hundred hours in already and the lobbies im in reflect that, otherwise the beta would be absolute pain for most players and just boring for the pros that moved over from other games or streamers.

[@AnthonyShuker]

@@KingBLUCK well how clueless of you. there is an MMR system, valve just recently blocked it from being "public" but it's still there.

[@eskie-gaming-deadlock]

The only reliable way to know MMR is through the watch tab. I posted my tracklock accounts in the description which show estimated MMR based on the watch tab.

[@WOMFT]

Playing around geist 1 is trolling

[@john6717]

lol. Here is my tier list after playing for like 2 days. So tired of trash click bait videos.

[@eskie-gaming-deadlock]

I think I'm up to 300 hours between my 2 accounts, and I've played since May

[@ITZBROKENhotDOG12]

Nice clickbait

[@eskie-gaming-deadlock]

I'm happy to hear constructive feedback. Why do you think this is click bait?
