i just got the mirage skin, and it was from killing 2 ppl at the same time with djinns mark

Yamato looks scary

I like Pocket’s skin he looks good in his scarf

Really like your take on things and agree with what is needed for 2025. I think player numbers will be low until casual reward systems or the storylines are added. If you look at Dota 2 I think Crownfall is something that would be super good to keep players coming back.

Honestly I think skins should wait just because right now most characters don't even have their final models yet, and making skins for them might mean having to re-do every skin

Amazing game. Had to leave it for a while because of the matchmaking. Proper matchmaking, more heroes and release it to the wild with good advertising, then we can play again.

What should I do for yamato skin ?

it wasn't ult kills on grey talon for me. I got mine after a charged shot kill. So maybe a certain about of charged shot kills? dunno

As a father who can only jump in a night. Getting f*cked every game for 45 minutes takes the fun out of it. I need a que that won't put me with people with thousands of hours.

Deadlock is excellent imo, and I believe the game will continue to have a cult following, as all great valve games of yesteryear manage to do. 40 characters is a very unrealistic expectation for launch in a game like Deadlock, imo. I think perhaps you’ve underestimate the immense amount of variation that would be added if even just 12 new characters were introduced. Bans and picks are a must, hard agree there. It feels bad to lose off the computer’s draft, period. I liked the weekly rank updates, but a dedicated queue does make sense. Funnily enough I’ve had great matches since the change to remove the ranked queue, but I understated I’m in the minority. I hope if they being ranked back, it’s only during distinct queue times. Nerds should not be allowed to spam queue ranked all night, I desire the 2pm-5pm and 7pm-1am window, it was excellent. Solo queue only ranked felt great as well. Thanks for the video, though we disagree on some things, you are making very high quality content in this sphere!

Sure abour Mo & Krill? Stacked 1k+ still waiting for the skin

I’ve really been enjoying Deadlock, but I do feel tired with it at times because of like you said the low hero count and thus many games feeling the same. Imagining Deadlock one day having a hero pool similar to Dota 2 is an amazing thought 😊

As a low MMR player the experience that me and the people I play with seems to be telling. It seems that whatever algorithm they use to sort players by skill SUCKS at the low end. Asking people in my games all end up with the same responses of games won by essentially smurfs thrown in with for-fun/low skill players. This combined with the MASSIVE balance swings the game has makes this game uniquely unfun to play over time. Dont get me wrong I love the game, hence why I still play and try to find fun things, it just is a very unfortunate state of affairs if your not already cracked.

People who say the game is dying tend to forget that the game isn't being promoted at all to tge public and despite this Its racked tons of numbers while its still being bulit. Also this is a Value product we're talking about, owner of Steam, you better believe the moment it is ready for public release and Ads, it will be on the front page of steam store and thats gonna open the flood gates.

Eyy those are my skin screenshots that I made =P. Didn't you want to include the infernus skin? ^^

'Not a big fan of the Yamato one it looks kind of goofy' Seven has a COOKIE covering his head. I think theyre supposed to be a bit goofy!

sweetening em up!

4:48 that lash loss. how?

It’s in a very weird place. The game feels incredibly competitive making it difficult to play casually. MOBA’s in general are hard to play casually because getting dominated feels very bad. At the same time it’s hard to take the game seriously with how quickly and drastically they change abilities and items. It also feels incredibly far away from being released based on the lack of hero’s and no release schedule. Loved the game but there needs to be more clarity where the game is going. Finally as a Dynamo player watching them put Arcane Surge in the game and knowing it was going to lead to a nerf was tough. Increasing his ultimate cooldown makes the hero less fun to play and you just spend more time waiting for it to come off cooldown. They need to nerf what it does not make the gameplay less interactive.

The reason this isn't generally a thing to be concerned about is we are all voluntary pre alpha testers.

Viscous is Goo Ball 3 people in the same ult, not cubing someone like your list says.

0:19 That's one hell of a word for this snowmonstrosity...

"im not getting killed by an oversize christmas decoration!" -lash

Man, i NEEEED to find out what to do for the kelvin skin.

lash no cosmetic?

No paradox nerf till new years jeeeeeeeez

Vindicta I'm pretty sure is getting at least 2 or three sniper kills, that's what got me it

anyone know how to get vindicta?

Hey are all the upgrades with missing prerequisites in your melee Shiv build intentional, or just outdated?

I had a crazy game where my team came back from a 40k soul deficit and earning Santa Dynamo was icing, heck yeah.

Yamato unlocks with killing 3 people in one ult

Lash is grabbing X amount of opponents with ult. I grabbed 5 and got it, it might be less than that to trigger.

i remember a very similar video by a content creator for the finals. my take... great game no room for live service

Player counts really do not matter until the game is actually out and polished. A lot of work still to be done but I feel like when everything is ironed out and there is a more concrete gameplay loop and competitive scene you will see those numbers come back and likely remain consistent like other valve games have. We still don't even have any cosmetics and the roster is still growing as well.

Valve games usually get a little spice up around the bigger holidays, but I think it's clear to see the influence of the old TF2 team creeping through with the holiday updates. Super excited to see what crazy stuff we are going to get in this game in the years to come.

this is a fxcking joke volvo

merry christmas deathy!

Great video as always--thanks for making such solid content. One feeling I've been having about the game is that all the mid/late games feel so same-y. I think part of the reason is one of the ones you addressed, which is the small hero roster making every game have a way-too-familiar cast of characters. However, I think a point not talked about enough is build diversity and how it affects the roles and playstyles of each character. There are plenty of situational items, sure, but it generally feels like once you hit a certain soul threshold, most heroes end up with some sort of 60/40 split of damage/defense, or vice versa. (Hard supports exist, I know--I would love for supports to get even more "supportive" options in this regard) I think it would be interesting to allow players to build into a more niche role, rather than being a "slightly higher damage bruiser" vs a "slightly higher defense dps". I'd like to see itemization have more synergies with each other and trade-offs with other stats, like Glass Cannon reducing your HP. Or making higher tier green items have -%Damage while giving passives that make you tankier or apply more debuffs or something of that nature. Or higher tier purples giving you -%Gun Dmg but doing a better job at letting you live your spellcaster fantasy. Right now it feels like every hero kind of turns into a similarly-built wrecking ball of stats, regardless of whether you focus slightly more on Oranges/Greens/Purples. Finally, another (more outlandish) idea is to give each character 1 ability evolution per game to be used on an already max-upgraded ability that would alter the way they play. Like something that would substantially change the way the ability worked, rather than just a -Cooldown or a +Damage upgrade. Then a player would want to alter their playstyle around using their evolved ability most effectively. Just something to add more variance to the game as well as allow players to fill a more niche role within the team with their build/ability choices. My thoughts as an Ascendant player, so I'm aware that my takes aren't as informed as people at the highest level.

how to get yamato : (

Did someone unlock the vindicta skin?

i "unlocked" dynamo skin, but idk if you have to equip it somehow cause it showed up on dynamo in Sandbox but my next Normal game i wasnt wearing a skin

They did it! They fixed Yamato’s forehead!

I actually think general access to CDR isn’t bad, removing most sources of CDR would slow the game down and likely make it less fun, and make people feel disempowered, which always sucks. I think certain ults should be looked at and have their -cooldown upgrade replaced with something that moves towards higher single use impact instead of spamming, no nerfs just redirecting the power. Getting McGinnis ulted(she’s a whole other problem, but let’s just talk about her ult rn) every time she shoves into tower is extremely un-interactive, and it would be cool if there was a more interesting way to keep that ults power without just making it so she has an anti-fun button more often. Like let’s make it so the cooldown doesn’t move while the ability is in use, and make it so that damage stacks up on targets with consecutive hits or something, but she has to actually use her brain(which I know is very anti-McGinnis player) and time her ults well

As someone who has stopped playing, it was entirely because the game got updated every other day. This is not a good thing, you settle into the meta only for something to become broken the next day and you have to catch up. One day Kelvin’s broken and then the next day melee shiv. It’s just too random and really turns you off especially if you have other stable games that are well balanced like dota or lol or even other shooters like cs and valorant that you can play instead

Man some of those skins are way easier than others hahaha Seven's is rough.

great, two more weeks of this awful meta

Sucks we don’t know how to unlock our characters skins

Hey so for the Ivy one it seems it only works on the enemy patron area. Cause I used the ult bomb on the enemies and it doesn't work but in the enemy patron area it works and that's how I got it. It's kinda weird how it works.

can you unlock these in bot games?

hohoho
