It's hard to know if that chill in the air is from the approaching fall breeze, or from the withering glare of Nurse Harrow, who now joins us on the streets of Manhattan. To some, her practices may seem unorthodox, her patients at the Marble Hill Possession Ward cannot say that the results aren't effective. With Leech Therapy, she throws a jar full of leeches that attach to oncoming enemies, draining their health and energy, before crawling back to deliver their haul. Cracking open one of her vials, she releases her Wretched Vapors, possessing her allies with a powerful boost of effectiveness - though subjects should be warned of the side effects when the vapors wear off. To efficiently keep her teammates fighting their best, she loads her syringe full of Healing Needles to inject medicine directly into their veins. And when her patience runs out, she opens her bag to release all the Lurking Terrors captured inside, making her adversaries run for cover. - "Trust me, I know best."

With Nurse Harrow joining us today, that marks the end of of our City Never Sleeps releases. We want to thank everyone for participating in voting once again, and hope you've been enjoying all the new delights that NYC has to offer.

City Never Sleeps Voting Stats:

  • Big Turnout: Over 110 Million votes were cast over the course of the event.
  • Narrow Victory: The closest contest was Baba vs Solomon, decided by a nearly 0.5% difference in votes.
  • Oracle: Only 847 players voted in every round, and only voted for that round's eventual winner.
  • Unlucky: 36,236 players voted in every round, and never once picked that round's winner.
  • Dedication: 22,194 players exclusively voted for Nurse Harrow. One player cast exactly 1000 votes for her.
  • Highly Effective: Nurse Harrow voters consistently proved to have a higher win rate over all other hero voters.

Breaking the illusion for those curious: The only actual mod here are the camera position and replacement of icons. The actual animations shown are on a completely seperate overlay not tied to Deadlock at all; consisting of transparent videos simply bound to play when a certain key or mousebutton is pressed/held down. Essentially just Hotkey shortcuts but it plays a video when pressed. This is also why it's on top of the UI.

Game Feedback The solution to the EU server language issue that allready exists

Post image
449 Upvotes

The whole EU/RU merge has caused a lot of talk and while I dont mean this to be any sort of anti Russian post its not like the issue isnt real. Theres a ton of Russians who want to or can only speak Russian while majority on non Russian EU does not understand Russian.

The language barrier is just a fact and forcing people who dont share a language in the same team in a game that requires communication just isnt gonna magically fix that. I have no issues if some people want to communicate in Russian but why do I have to be forced into that as someone who does not understand or speak Russian and vice versa. Especially since atleast from my experience with the merge the queue time improvements have been marginal at best. Yet Dota 2 allready has a option to choose what language you wanna be matched with.

This will just improve matches for both Russians and non Russians. The people who want to speak English get teammates that speak English instead of ones that speak a language that they dont understand. And the Russian speakers get to match with other Russian speakers since I would assume that if one doesnt want to speak English to begin with theyd rather prefer teammates that speak and understand Russian.

Discussion feel like we've lost a lot of these amazing rift fights with the new ults

I have to wonder what they're gonna do with midboss and rift now after introducing these new characters - I feel like the rift was in a good place prior and it's sorta been ruined by the aoe ults. You can see how fair and fun this teamfight was, and how the ults had good counterplay. I was able to counterspell lash's ult and I double jumped over Paige's ult just by hearing it from behind.

Even seven, who was the aoe ulter back then, could be knockdowned or riposted. You can't do that for violet or rat king. I'm thinking to how I was able to dodge that Paige ult, and now I'm thinking about how many times I've been caught by Still Life because it's just not that clear on the screen. Or the execute damage of Develop Queen is damn near unreactable - I think I've gotten used to the stun, but it's still really not as clear as every other ability in the game...

Yeah. It's just quite sad. I see CNS, like OGNB before it, to be a highly experimental update where valve are really trying to see what deadlock can be. And my personal feedback as a playtester is these ultimates have done more harm than good in the game. I hope they're reworked in a way that makes them fit what deadlock is but currently they've just dumbed down teamfights in a way I don't appreciate. I think if the best counterplay is "don't fight it" we're heading in the wrong direction
