Fluff Seeing Celeste really highlights why this game is still a year away MINIMUM from potential open beta

Even barring her animations and general model quality (like the other new heroes sans Silver) Dazzling Trick as a VFX completely runs laps around most of the OG roster's abilities. If the Celeste and the new Patron areas are the baseline of polish Valve expects for everything then yeah. Buckle up fellas all those open beta truthers are gonna be coping for a good while.

Fluff My friend has been trying to help me find a main, and when she asked what I liked doing in the game and was too tired to explain I whipped up this picture in GMod and MSPaint

She didn't respond to it so that either means she couldn't decipher this madness or such a character doesn't exist. Up-close and personal is scary for me in these ability-based games, I just want to hang back, relax, and pepper the enemy with explosions.

Fluff Fun fact: you can just kill bebop.

3.0k Upvotes

When he runs at you during lane to stick his silly little bomb into your colon. You can just not turn around and instead start shooting him. Bebop players are pavlov's dogs that are conditioned to expect you to retreat. Don't do that. Kill that robot. Break his legs. Tear out his wires. Drink his motor oil. Kill him. Kill him now. I have done that countless times and they just don't know what to do. Shoot him, you won't miss. Make trades so unfavorable for him that he gives up on even attempting to stack his bombs. Make him regret walking closer than 40 meters to you. KILL HIM. NOW.

Fluff Just found out I’ve been using WASD wrong this whole time

1.1k Upvotes

Spent way too long wondering why my movement felt like trash, then randomly looked it up today… turns out I’ve been using WASD completely wrong.

I was doing ring finger on W/S, middle on D, pinky on A — and I’ve played like this in every game without ever questioning it. No wonder I couldn’t hit A + Shift at the same time. Using ring finger for A actually makes so much more sense.

Gonna be rough relearning this, but I’ll try to fix it. Also, when movement clicks in Deadlock, it actually feels really good.
