The game is full of many different archetypes, but no character is impossibly handsome like Shiv is supposed to be. We have yet to see Valve to go all out for a man attractive wise like they can for the “bad boy” redemption archetype.
His model right now is a recolor from neon prime with a different art stlye thats why he looks terrible. Any actual person that knows Shiv lore knows that he has no relation with monkeys. This happened already with old ugly Ivy in the past to “contrast” her uglyness with her being nice and welcoming which is not good character design at all. This will be no different.

Art: Oloonglatte

Even Solomon seemed to despise his ass, its great. I think one thing Old G-ds, New Blood wad missing was a person who everyone in the cast hates, so this is perfect.

Shes good art student representation if youve ever met one you know that they present like her, dirty full of paint a bit whimsy, its fine to have a character look more bland + god damn go look at what happens to her poster when u light melee it

Shes not gooner slop riot games overwatch league of legends yall need to go outside and see a woman for once

Sadly no update for some time. Feels crazy he responded to me.

Never thought id enjoy it on account of being a moba and everything but I was told there'd be other modes like a single player mode, that and i completely fell for the rem propaganda

Regardless its a...alright game definitely early access but aside from that im kinda enjoying it despite getting mogged 15-0 in a couple of street brawl matches but yeah fun game. Fingers crossed nurse harrow comes out next cause I want more supports

it was brought to my attention cuz of the crazy lore drops that came with Danny

I don’t know if Riot can copy what valve has created with Deadlock. The atmosphere and setting so what I think makes deadlock so enjoyable. Yes the gameplay is amazing and the moba aspects are great but I just don’t think riot will even try to copy valve and make a deadlock clone. What is all y’all’s thoughts.

I really like the charcater personally but in my games the king has been doing poorly going with a KDA of 1/12 or 0/10 (Not mines, but my team mates or enemies rat kings) and I have seen little to no use on his kit besides his Ult. I play him a lot on streer brawll and its mad funny, but for people who play him on a higher level of skill, whats your opinion on balance? What will you change if you could change something?

Has anybody else noticed that Viscous seems overtly childish in the new voice lines?

I'm not sure if it's the direction that the voice actor has been given, the lack of sound edits that the older lines had (from what I've heard, the current lines aren't yet finished edit-wise), the writing or all of it as a whole.

Viscous's writing direction has shifted from the friendly yet determined emissary of The Deep, willing to put the goal of defeating The Adversary before everything else. (e. g. him saying that The Djinn's problems are less serious than The Deep's.)... To a second grader. It's a fun line, one of many the update added, but it often feels like an outlier in an otherwise solid character.

Viscous is an emissary, a political figure of the Deep with a message and ambition first, and a goo ball that studies the customs of the surface, second, not a baby.

I think it’s the side burns and angle but still

I've been trying out new heroes as I play deadlock and i keep coming back to this one thing, deadlock doesnt have its winston and that makes me sad.

Before you suggest someone just let me please explain what i mean by a winston, because it's not just "big friendly nerd gorilla." it's the hero who's the face of the game, the one on the menu and the trailers, who stays loved no matter what the meta does. you don't get that from stats, you get it from a hero people are happy to see win and enjoy playing against. and that only holds up if he's fun on both sides, the kind where even the people losing don't resent him. It might be a niche ask but I'd love to see a hero like that in deadlock.

There's a couple that I guess are kind of similar in concept such as rem and viscous with viscous being the most winston coded hero in deadlock but its just not the same, a lot of it comes down to the gameplay and not just the backstory/lore. Because the thing that makes winston winston isn't just the backstory, it's that he's clean. almost no CC in the whole kit, no stun, no hook, no slow, just primal, and primal is a hard skill check. bad players leap in and feed, good players make it look unfair. so when i lose to a winston I almost never feel cheesed, i feel outplayed by someone who had to have actual game sense. the tell for me is that even at the height of the dive meta in overwatch people wanted to nerf the comp, but the hate never landed on winston himself. he stayed beloved at the top of the meta because losing to him felt earned, because he didnt just stunlock/statcheck you, he has to put in the work. he's the heart of the game and the most honest matchup in it at the same time. I don't know if this hero is even possible in Deadlock given its a moba and not a pure hero shooter, but I'd sure like one.

winton...

Edit: If you think Abrams is anything even close to a winston type character you do NOT understand winton overwat

This might be the last time we ever see some of them if tomorrow really is the Eye Candy update.

Also, remember: design quality and model quality are not the same thing.

Seven is a perfect example. He’s absolutely one of the best designs in the game and a near-perfect translation of Gigawatt from Neon Prime into Deadlock’s visual style, but when you take a closer look at the actual model, some parts of it are horrid and all his previous visual effects he used to have slowly got broken as the game updated, his tesla coils no longer sparks in different ways to indicate if he has ult charge or what ability he's getting ready to use. Most likely it wasn't worth maintaining since he was going to be remodeled soon anyways.

Via the top two stat tracking sites.

This I was not expecting. She seemed strong at first I wonder why it's so bad.
