It’s been a couple months now with the game out. What’s everyone’s favorites hero’s to play as?

Mine are:

  • Wraith
  • Grey Talon (Even before the last patch)
  • Kelvin

Haze is my favorite, I love being a little invisible ninja creature

  • Calico - I like cats and currently playing as her just feels right.

  • Ivy - I really like her combo and sitting on people.

  • McGuiness - Her turrets are cool and often ignored (especially if there's lot's going on) which can be a really bad move. Reminds me of playing Engineer in DRG and her ult gives me the same feeling as firing artillery in Factorio.

  • *Wraith - For some reason I keep getting a good k/d with her. O.o

I played a lot of McGuiness before I played ranked, after that the way I pay her doesn’t mesh with the meta so I switched but it was a lot of fun before then for sure. Will have to try calico in the test mode!

Guess I'm the only asshole here. Lash.

I've been wanting to learn him as I can imagine he is so much fun to play, but I'm a bit scared about the difficulty. I've seen some Lash players absolutely dominate, but so so many dive in and die over and over. Plus - much like Dynamo - having a super impactful ultimate on a massively long cooldown gives me anxiety.

Huh.

I came from League mostly so I wanted a caster. I think he's so good because height gives you damage. Just climb somewhere high, jump down, 3 then pound with 1, or 1 then pound with 3 (easier, but recent changes to ability buffering/queuing made it so 3-1 is faster), then jump away with 2.

I think a lot of people jump in with 2 and then get stuck because they've all inned and have no escape. But the 2 works on allied things as well so you can just 180 and jump on out of there after bursting them. Then continue laning.

The ult is a bit meh tho imo. Like it's a cone downwards, so a lot of the time I pull it ffrom ground height and the range is so small. You got to throw it from high up to get multiple people and have a good range to aim with.

I really like Paradox, so much so that I've been having a hard time finding other fun characters!

But it's been a bit since I've played!

[–] Mixel@feddit.org 3 points 9 months ago

For me its lash, shiv, wraith, grey Talon in this order :D I also played other champs of course but these are my most played

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 9 months ago

I like wraith, paradox and recently, warden.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 9 months ago

Mirage is my most played character at the moment, I just really like his kit. Very comfy to play. Tornado is such an amazing skill and once you get used to the mobility and on-demand iframes it's hard to go back. He's one of the best laners in the game which makes early game smooth and popping people with big Djinn's Marks is fun.

I also really enjoy Yamato, chunking people with big Power Slashes is satisfying and you can do sick turnarounds with her ult.

Most fun to play is probably Pocket though, but I still need a lot more practice before I feel I can confidently perform on him. I love all his skills but you really gotta be on the ball to maximise his potential.

Ivy

Just started playing deadlock this week and I'm in love with Ivy. Took me a while to figure it out before I was playing wraith and she's fun but I suck with her. Prolly just need more practice.

[–] gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Mine are Warden, Pocket, and Bebop.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

In order, Yamato, Paradox, Haze, Vindicta, Wraith, McGinnis.

[–] Kovukono@pawb.social 2 points 9 months ago

McGinnis with the GunGinnis build, and kudzu bomb Ivy. I really wish I found a third one I can enjoy.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago
