Latest Updates on Deadlock
The new update for Deadlock primarily focuses on buffing and nerfing hero abilities. The intention is to provide adjustments based on community feedback, reflecting a new strategy of releasing larger updates less frequently.
Key Changes
- Adjustments to newer heroes including Vyper and Calico.
- Calico’s Leaping Slash ability has been enhanced for better effect accuracy and is now able to destroy breakable walls.
- A series of buffs to other characters as well: Haze received an upgrade to Bullet Dance, Grey Talon’s Spirit Snare has been improved, and Kelvin’s Arctic Beam has been updated to slow roll distance by 20%.
One particularly remarkable change came from the community when a player, KarlKaiser47, suggested that Shiv’s knives should pass through ‘Soul Orbs’. Despite initial ridicule, the team implemented the idea, proving the value of community input.
Quote from KarlKaiser47: “So three days ago, I made this suggestion post, and everybody here hated it. Now it’s in the game!”
(Translation: “A few days ago, I proposed this idea, and everyone dismissed it—but now it’s part of the game!”)
Community Reflection
Despite the mixed reactions to the change, community members acknowledge the developers’ willingness to innovate. As the game is still in its testing phase, players feel an excitement for the possibilities and ludicrous ideas that can be tested now before the final release.
In conclusion, the recent developments in Deadlock show how community discussions can directly influence and enhance gameplay experiences.
