man i see all the greats and what they do to get to where they are (most recently Wemby and his training with monks and other smaller creators) and its hella inspiring, and I know deep down I could be doing so much more - for deadlock, my health, and the community. which is kind of uncomfortable to confront, and definitely ego-shattering, because I start to get defensive or make excuses. I wake up greatful for the position im in everyday, but I can't achieve "great" status with my current day to day and I know it.

And I can't use deadlock not being launched as an excuse for my laziness and lack of work ethic. Yes, the 12-19 year old me would be so proud of me - I reached my initial goal of 1k+ avg viewership on schedule, and more than that. But now im so comfortable and its messing with my drive, its nothing like when I first started streaming or first joined MLC. this has happened before, but the difference this time is i've set new goals for myself that I want to achieve so that I know what im working towards - and hoping yall can find within yourselves the discipline and courage to also REALLY go for your own, no lying to yourself or making excuses.

The start is
my classes with eternus+ players starting in ~2 weeks with creators and ranked ladder players

expanding on and adjusting MLC's current roles system (pos 1-6)
along with general vod review to get better at the game

my IRL meetups for mental health & activities with some of yall in the area - hiking, climbing, sports etc. (which im hoping to transition into a full program in the future)

maximum of 1 hour screentime a day (on phone)

streaming/recording my gym progress with my personal trainer starting next week for all to follow along, eventually want to bench 225 or do calisthenics of some sort

thats what I can think of right now. Using this to hold myself accountable and remind others to lock in and get it. Im probably going to fail many times. gonna go spend time with my mom & fam out of state then be back on monday fully ready to go. see yall then :)

@stalkermustang @newcenturygospl @Frans861918 @IntelDeadlock @DeathyDL Because we never fleshed it out enough for it to be a real strategy or idea, it was a brief thought for us more than anything, and I shut it down basically immediately because of the aforementioned statement that it would be too game breaking to even consider

[avg @AVGdeadlock]

@stalkermustang @newcenturygospl @Frans861918 @IntelDeadlock @DeathyDL I thought it’s so ridiculously game breaking it’s not even worth considering, that’s what I said to Zeno initially when we talked about it

I debated writing this or not, but I think it’s best to have it said for the future just to have it here. I’m not claiming that I’m correct with saying this, but I personally don’t care about any drama within the Deadlock competitive scene. I just wanna show up and play. I ff’ed because the game was not a real Deadlock game. I’m not pushing for MLC to be punished and I never did, nor do I care if they are.

The reality is I was emotional and felt somehow insulted by the fact that the game I love is being turned into such a slopfest, especially by people who I know love the game just as much, and I’ll keep it a buck it got to me. Am I a pussy? Yes probably, but it’s just who I am. In that moment, I could not stand to be in that game it felt like a violation to every hour I’ve spent grinding for the past 2 years out of nothing but just pure desire.

I accept that it’s childish as people have mentioned, and I am flawed, so the blame for that lies with me. The game is experimental and it deserves to test what ever it likes to, but with that being said, I don’t believe I am forced to sit there and watch or play when it’s being reduced to literal cinders of what it should be.

This is the best game ever created, and I’ve spent so much time falling in love with it that it just hurt to participate in that slopfest. I walked out the metaphorical door, and if that makes me a crybaby then it is what it is.

I created MLC initially because I wanted to compete against the original HN, and after leaving MLC because I felt that they didn’t care about the game as much as I did (and that’s fine to me, nothing personal, I just felt it wasn’t a place for me any longer), I created Floormen to compete with the levelled up MLC. All I want to do in this game is to compete and play good Deadlock and try everything in my power to improve. Everything else is a bygone. This patch is a bygone, and the game will be a clear sky once more, when they figure out the next step. I trust the devs to move forward, they always have. It just sucks sometimes, and that’s ok.

If you read all of that thank you.

Just to speak on this, @MeleeCreepsDL did not offer to remake the game. No idea where that came from but no one told me or said in the DLNS captain chat anything about a remake or replay. We were told we’d be down 0-1, and chose to FF because we don’t want to legitimize that game

[avg @AVGdeadlock]

@BurningSage098 @bsqt__ They didn’t offer to replay anything lol

[avg @AVGdeadlock]

@Xuu_nii @fineokay_ They didn’t offer to remake shit

[avg @AVGdeadlock]

@Septute @FloormenDL @MeleeCreepsDL @DLNightShift (without actually ffing) - it’s a MOBA rule, in Dota 2 as well if you type gg in the chat the game can be forfeited for you

[avg @AVGdeadlock]

@FredTheFinch0 I think there’s some players that are just intuitive, like yourself who just “do”. For me personally, I put thought to action usually so I can describe why I’m doing what I’m doing pretty well

[Elisabeth Marchini @ejmarchini]

New interview — A Conversation with AVG is now live! This interview reaffirmed why I do interviews in the first place. The most candid I think I’ve ever had someone be and I’m really thankful for @AVGdeadlock for being the best.

draft in next update or major patch and deadlock is the best game ever for 20 years

[avg @AVGdeadlock]

ngl the current state of matchmaking in deadlock is so difficult to enjoy, and i worry if anything will change until we get a draft and some better rank balancing. at the end of the day it is still an alpha game though can’t complain too much

[avg @AVGdeadlock]

@DeadlockAnon Hahaha ragebait

[avg @AVGdeadlock]

@LefaaWR Agreed

[Connor Knudsen @GoopyKnoopy]

Had a great chat with @FloormenDL's standout flex player @LeagueDL0 after last week's statement @DLNightShift win.

League had high praise for @Dimov___ in his NA debut, along with a lot of other great insight in this one.
