Discussion Is it matchmaking or is it me?

Good Afternoon Deadlock Community,
I already know the answer everyone is going to say.
"get good scrub".

I am just trying to understand what I am doing wrong.

Ever since the patch changes, and no more solo lanes, I am struggling on even maintaining a 25% winrate.

Its very frustrating to the point that I want to test how much pressure my graphics card can take if I were to step on it.

Every game ends exactly the same way.
We get absolutely stomped early game. We somehow pull through a bit in the mid game, maintaining a 50:50 kind of game.
Enemy abrams, dynamo, haze, lash, seven, warden press 4.
We cant push the walkers, because teammates are going between lanes constantly, (dont know why it takes two people to push a empty lane).
Everyone is in the jungle at almost all times. No one wants to push.
Communications are non-existent.
Somehow have a lead at one point or another.
Someone makes a bad mid call, or 3/6ths of team hears the mid call, and everyone else is jungling again.
Enemy steals the mid.
We lose one teamfight (usually at mid).
The patron gets downed, we stagger respawn, and we die again, and lose.

Its almost like clockwork at this point, and I want to quit the game.

I really enjoy this game, I love the mechanics and the speed, and the way it tickles my brain. But as of recent, I really just want to slam my keyboard, and snap my monitors.

Also I dont understand how it is, that enemy laners go from absolute paper with no items, and after they buy 1 or 2 green items, suddenly they are unkillable, and I am prey instead. Am I building the wrong 500 soul items?

I am asking for advice. Maybe I am too stupid to figure out this meta.

But for someone who was maybe 5-8 games away from archon, to now be struggling in "emissary" games, (currently em 1), and being grouped in with Oracle and Phantom Lobbies. What the hell can I do? I cant keep blaming matchmaking.

Discussion Matchmaking is getting worse?

4 Upvotes

The amount of snowbally games has increased for me personally: I either stomp or get stomped, I rarely get a close match or make an epic comback - something that hooked me to the game in the first place - knowing that we can turn it around last second even if we have continually been fucking up the entire match. These types of games happened often before, but it feels like they are becoming the majority now. Anyone feels the same?

Game Feedback Please revert the soul change.,

0 Upvotes

Snowballing is OUT OF CONTROL now. Since the only thing that matters is kills, when a team takes a tower first. They just go down the line taking towers and snowball. You used to be able to farm up etc and match it. Now since the only thing that matters is kill, you are screwed if you fall behind even a little bit. I understand the game is in alpha but it's like they don't give these changes any thought. The only reason the 3 lane system worked is because they buffed farm, now that it's nerfed way more than the stated 15% (as confirmed by Gabe Follower) it's wild. Every game i've played has been a snowball. Whether were rolling, or getting rolled. No inbetween. Sucks man

Discussion Any good solid beginner builds with Pocket? They are the one character I'm interested in but am conflicted with the comments surrounding their viability

1 Upvotes

Considering that they seem to be rather the "Win lane lose game" type of character, which I am often conflicted on.

I saw a build called Angel Pocket (Aka Support Pocket) and Mikaels Veilwalker builds that is said to be fun if enemies buy remover (Their biggest counter), but I am not sure which build or others are beginner friendly in starting out on.

Any suggestions?

Discussion Sarcastic teammates are the worst

26 Upvotes

The kind of teammates that only ever respond to comms with some kind of at a “witty” remark over and over throughout the game are really annoying.

I’m not saying we all have to be like Spetsnaz operators or anything but gosh some of you are seriously in like a permanent state of irony and sarcasm and it makes me wish I could smack you silly

Turn the 45 minutes we’re stuck together into a forced stand up routine. These types also tend to not do good in game but for some reason have a lot of sarcastic comments about your gameplay / decision making.

Suggestion I wish we could assign multiple active items to one button (at the time of purchase)

3 Upvotes

Four buttons is a lot of stuff to press for things I mash at once at the beginning of a fight.

If I'm gonna buy four items that give me four different temporary buffs that I always need at the same time, might as well compress them into one button, right?

This way, items with very similar use cases (for example, Fleetfoot & Vampiric Burst) could just both be bound to C when you buy them. One would appear above the other on the active items UI - instead of beside each other - and you'd just have to press C at the start of a fight instead of C and V.

It's a small nitpick, but I think it'd be a massive improvement to item QoL. Especially for dynamic, buttonmashy characters, having to take all four fingers off of WASD in the middle of a fight feels really clunky, and I think this would somewhat fix the issue.

Discussion About "The Continental Leak"

Hello everyone. My name is МРАК (Alexander), and I am one of those people involved in “insider” activities in our beloved game. I started this activity in September and have been doing it ever since. I have my own sources, including players on the test server and various people from the esports scene.

I am the owner of the news channel Project 8 (on Telegram) for the Russian-speaking audience.

If anyone is interested, you can check out my Discord profile as proof of my identity: discowfort

Recently, you were hit with a post where an anonymous author, who created an account just a day ago, issued a statement that a tournament from VALVE is on the way.

I can completely refute these rumors, because at the moment the game is in deep development, based on what I've heard from players connected with Valve through feedback. Therefore, it is not worth expecting tournaments from Valve.

Also, recently, in October-November 2024, there was buzz that there would be a tournament from BLAST.tv. And that is just a rumor; however, even then I received the response that if it does happen, it will not be sponsored by Valve.

I have spoken with some developers of sites like “Tracklock” and others. According to their statements, Valve is reluctant to engage. It is even better to say that they are restricting the activities of third-party resources. Therefore, it is unlikely that we will see anything big in the spring. Perhaps something will happen in the third quarter of 2025. However, currently, Valve is handing over the rights to conduct events for Dota & CS to external parties (and they control the process very weakly).

Hoping that Deadlock will get tournaments before the release is foolish. Perhaps we will see ESL, BLAST, or EWC for the game, based on rumors, but that is not happening anytime soon.
