Do the tutorial, get a feel for each hero in sandbox mode, explore public item builds, watch replays. Playing a Hero for the first time will put you into a lower rank game*, so don't worry about it too much.

can you point to the parts of her kit which scale? A maxxed out 1 deals 2.73x spirit damage if you land every single bomb which you never will. Her 2 is literally "melee enemies and heal" on a horrendous cooldown, her 3 doesnt do damage and is purely setup, and her 4 deals 1.2x spirit damage if you land both segments.

Valve employees receive an annual all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii.
For over 20 years, Valve has flown its full-time employees to a luxury Hawaiian resort.
The company covers flights, lodging, and most expenses for roughly an eight-day stay.
Many refer to it as the two-week Valve Hawaii vacation because of travel time.
This is in addition to Valve’s very generous flexible paid time off.

This has been a thing for ages and it's always the same result; whenever gun/m1ggers are meta the game is unplayable and player numbers drop, everything revolves around who has the most broken/better gun carries.
It's a fundamental design issue and like the other 30 or so fundamental problems they're never properly addressed and changed despite being in an ALPHA so it's a constant repeat of the same horseshit.
>>
>>
>>563817540
IMO, the core problem is that there is so many fucking random silences / mobility impediments in the game that obviously anyone who can ignore that and just shoot you is going to do great. A metric shit ton of abilities have silence or slowing-hex like effects built in, and I can only think of one ability that disarms.

Thinking about it yeah I can't name another disarming hero. We need a hard anti-gun hero or two to fill out the roster and make carries seethe.
>>
>>563817249
Geist is weird as well since the matchmaker doesnt even consider her a carry, she's considered in the same role as characters like Abrams. Now she sucks at that role due to lacking CC but it does mean you can end up with 4 carries in a team. In general i think Geist is going to get her late game gun damage nerfed at some point, especially now that all the ecelebs have started bitching about her, but i doubt the nerf will be particularly harsh since shes sitting at a 50% wr because most people still go for retard spirit builds on her, or even bomb builds. Spirit can somewhat work since drain is a very powerful ability and can give good DPS, but bomb just sucks ass and is driving her wr down. She very much is a pub stomp character though, since the best counterplay against her is to poke and silence her to death, and in pubs you can easily get early game solo walkers with her and then snowball hard, since if she ever has a decent lead she can just 1v11

I don't think late game bomb is bad with good positioning. escalating exposure, echo shard, plus her damage amp on 3 deals a lot of damage especially in places like pit and urn. The times it felt bad was when someone bought spellbreaker or they have flying characters.

>>563818057
>She very much is a pub stomp character though
she and warden are considered initiators like abrams/billy/silver/mo&krill which they are supposed to be.
geist in particular isn't just a pub stomp character, she is a leave a footprint in your ass character if you consider she is currently seeing pro play consistently.
I think she is fine as she is right now anyways, if you nerf the gun she will just fall out of play like warden did.

scarabs apply a fucking -35% damage penalty at T3
and heal him
and you can't just cleanse them with dispel, because you have to save that for his 3 so you don't explode at 4/5 stacks
and even if you do, it's a charge ability and he's going to have recharging rush so he'll always have 2 in a fight if not more
and then he's still healing. while you're doing fuckall to him because you have a -35% damage penalty
it's hell. he's an insanely disgusting duelist and a solid teamfighter who will be in every single fight because of his T3 ult. there's no splitting, there's no "oh he's yellow we can do something green", he's everywhere. it's so digusting

Counterbuying and objectives are the biggest midwit trap that only get parroted by shitties that only realized they're useful like a year and a half into the games lifespan, people counterbuy TOO much honestly to the point it guts their pressure / kill potential. Nothing makes me cringe more than seeing people counterbuying when they don't even need to instead of snowballing harder
>>
>>563818572
they just need to give him some gun damage back if they are going to leave geist as is, his other stuff is pretty good right now.
>>563818530
deadlock is meant to be for tf2 players, I wouldn't say its tf3 as it ended up a heroshooter/moba but it existed with tf2 character placeholders and the buyable items for stats/effects themselves can be seen a evolution from the items tf2 had.
its also feelwise vaguely familiar

it really depends on the hero / game state
If you are a wraith or something, yeah, just keep scaling, but if you are playing a tempo / spirit hero and are falling behind / game is getting late just suck it up and buy something to help your team out.
>>
>>
>>563818578
Knockdown forces them to buy dispel and or counterspell, late game if they are still an issue phantom strike makes them non characters. For Vindicta in particular, if you deny her early game snipes then she can only really go for her support build to try and give value, so you've essentially succeeded in countering her.
>>563818646
She's very strong yeah, but way stronger in pubs than in pro play since its hard to get a meaningful lead with her if the enemy team isnt intentionally giving out objectives for free, which is why i consider her a pub stomper.
>>563818705
there is a system but i have no idea if we know the specifics, its why each team will always have at least one carry, support and initiator/frontliner. The issue is that Rem is weighed the same as eg Dynamo, or that as i mentioned Geist is in the same category as Abrams Billy etc while being effectively a carry.
>>
>>
>>
>>563819035
It's contextual but unless you're VERY behind you should be mild on the counterbuying and keep stacking damage, sometimes you just get raped by draft and you theoretically need a shitton of counters but if you just stack them up you'll basically be an annoying mosquito at best. Better to coinflip and hope you can actually win teamfights to turn the game.

We can only hope Valve is doing some 200iq shit where they only keep parrying as bullshit as it is to catch scripters, 90% of the people parrying light melees are cheating, there's just no question.

A lot of parry situations are very obvious, such as sliding or jumping past people, climbing things, low hp, etc. It's easier than you think to land light melee parries.
People scripting will do it in non-obvious situations or will even cancel casts to autoparry, try Bebop's canceling their ults to autoparry, Haze canceling her ult to auto parry, etc. That can easily be tested by simply light meleeing next to them.

>It's easier than you think to land light melee parries
I think scripting is more common than you give credit
There's maybe two situations where trying to parry a light is at all worth it and not actively fucking yourself over:
>Blasted Billy dashing towards you after shooting
Or
>You have no HP and the enemy is right next to you so it's your only hope
If someone tries to parry a light melee in any other situation it's to their detriment 19/20 times, so if they're landing those parries consistently it's basically guaranteed they're scripting.
If you just throw out a light melee it's genuinely shocking how often someone who would otherwise never do a parry animation in the middle of a fight will suddenly do it the one time it was beneficial.
It's to the point that even in situations where I could get away with a heavy, I just instinctively don't melee. If someone is stunned or slept I just shoot them. I'm fucking pavloved to assume they will manage to parry.

Viscous players are one of the few that know that autoparry is ubiquitous by witnessing the frame perfect parries before puddle punch even makes an audible sound, even when hitting them out of their fov.
I think it's a testament to how the melee system needs to be reworked if autoparry can operate as such a braindead nonintrusive cheat that a good amount of people in this thread could write their own script.

how about this, if both characters heavy melee each other they get stunned for a shorter time + share half the total heavy melee damage of both. Pic related

>I think it's a testament to how the melee system needs to be reworked if autoparry can operate as such a braindead nonintrusive cheat
And they'd be hard as fuck to detect if you tweaked them not to work perfectly all the time
If you only parry light melees like a quarter of the time that's still really helpful but also kind of hard to accuse someone over, if you only auto-parry like 93% of heavies and puddle punches that's still helpful and probably in-line with someone having good reaction times.
I think if we start seeing auto-counterspells they may re-assess how they want parrying to work as a mechanic.
Because desu I like the mindgames with melee. But when I shoot someone in melee range for several seconds as a character that doesn't melee, with no melee items, and I tap my light melee and they instantly frame-perfect parry, it makes me not want to touch the mechanic at all.

Why the fuck are people metafagging in brool mode? The fucking retard mode, with no rank, where games are mostly decided by the completely random items you roll. You have faggots sperging out over you picking none meta characters and that you are 'throwing'. Just shut the fuck up and play the main mode if you want competitive shitflinging.

Well, yes, parrying in a face-to-face shootout is generally very bad unless you have good reason to anticipate a melee, but it's definitely worth it to throw in parries if you're flying past or sliding past players because it doesn't fuck your momentum and you're not left standing face to face with someone.

I won't even disagree but with the way the patch is now if you aren't being a meta slave then playing is exhausting. Every game has Dynamo. Every Game has Mirage. And you know yoshi will fuck you in the ass by putting both of them on the enemy team (Don't worry, you have holiday to compensate!)

It was kind of insane, everyone else on our team had a positive K/D and good soul economy but because a duo decided to nuke the lobby we got stomped by an enemy team where the only positive K/D was a victor that ended the match with 70k souls
What do I do in this scenario, tell the duo to go fuck themselves and split them up?

Yeah, I'm not that high but it's not the first time I queue emissary and the game decides to throw Initiates in my lobby because someone high ranked wanted to queue with their shitty friends or because the enemy team is also split ranks

the game gives everyone a lot of movement tech so they can be in risky places for short amounts of time. if you're playing against humans, they're going to try to outplay you and that can be annoying.

So when are we going to get our own equivalent to a Dopa or an Agurin, solo queue masters that consistently climb to the top of their servers by playing the numbers game and always doing the statistically optimal moves instead of sperging over their retard teams? I just feel that noone has actually solved this game yet, especially when it comes to clearing jungle. The only thing that is established is catch wave, split push if more than 4 enemies are known to be tied up somewhere else. Everything else about roaming/jungle farm is up in the air, though i suppose it isnt that important to figure out now due to the jungle rework being close™. Whats extra funny though is something i had heard in a new player guide video, maybe from deathy though i dont exactly remember rn, that if your team calls for a bad play its better to follow the bad play than to go do a good play elsewhere. This is opposite to Dopa and Agurin's experiences with solo queue climbing in league. I havent really touched league much beyond some general research in the topic of soloq but i do know that the objectives in that are generally smaller value than in deadlock, so maybe its good to follow a bad mid call to increase chances of it succeeding since it might decide the match, but i still generally find the idea of commiting to clearly retarded plays to be a bad move overall.

sorta depends
a bad mid call can decide the game so if you don't show up then its a loss for sure. you should show up because its the only way to show agency
a bad fight in the early or mid game nudges the game in the enemy team's favor. you should ignore this and instead choose a good action

This, you can tell your team to not do mid with dynamo alive but you can't make them stop; it just be in the pit far back with a stun. Going for optimal plays often loses the game.

Who is the audience for this game?
Zoomers won't play it, the people playing right now are millenials and washed esports players+trannies.
Once the game releases the movement techs and knowledge barrier will be so vast that new players will quit before touching it or after one game max.
The dev team have also demonstrated that they suck at balancing and the matchmaking is legit the worst of ANY competitive game.
