Why sen's deadlock on ascent is shit

Deadlock is placed in place of other agent like breach or Kayo and thus should provide far more value than them either individually or combined for it to be a worthy pick.

  1. Without the kayo or breach u are left witha singular omen paranoia and no flash for retakes.The absence of the two flashes completely takes away any aggresive play that u might want to make on the defence side to take extra site mains space.
  2. The kayo and breach are both initiators and thus can provide easy info about enemies without u having to take unnecessary risks by extra peaking for info.
  3. The kayo and breach ults are massive in themselves that can help u massively in 5 v5 retakes as well as stopping the opponent executions of a site solely by your own. While the deadlock ult hardly kills a single guy and u can beat use it to stall time as even if a person gets caught if u shoot enough he may easily get out.
  4. The kayo molly and the breach Aftershock are excellent while holding post plants setup as well as to clear off angles and force opponent away from an angle. ( While the deadlock nade is utterly useless, I saw John using it on karon and three people pushed on him and he one tapped all of them with the sheriff, we could easily argue that atleast Karon would have died by the util or by the players when the other two utils are used.
  5. The main purpose of replacing an agent should be when they provide more value than the previous agent and in such cases atleast provide 1.5x the value provided by a breach or Kayo either individually by deadlock or in combo with other agents however sen has played this on ascent for more than 30 rounds and there's not a single round where the deadlock has provided ultra massive value except sometimes the ult.

Edit: It works for Levitatan cause mazino knows to play deadlock way better in out than John and also I think aspas awping is also a very big solution there as he gets easy kills when opponent comes to break the barrier

this just isn’t the reason

they just suck at ascent all year, they’ve won it like twice probably not even that.

I see zekken on jett, i know we already lost the map damn near he can’t carry as hard like he does on raze

deadlock is good sen have been a bad ascent team all year only real fix is tenz on jett/flex duty or zekken needs to step it up by ALOT but honestly zekken iso tenz jett or some weird ass comp could be good or perma ban ascent and force other duelists

sen is terrible at deadlock cypher comp on ascent because they are trying to copy lev and not playing to their own playstyle. sen should really find a comp that will fit to their player’s comfort ability.

Yeah cause Lev knows how to play the comp a little better than sen and also everyone on Lev is a big shooter and then they also have daddy aspas who can clutch out. 1v2 and 1v3 a lot of times if they are in trouble and also aspas can op , something which zekken really does

i think the problem lies in them not changing their ascent comp. lev have been playing this comp for a while and have gotten used to it as well, and tbf sen qualified through points as they arent looking in form.

It would be a cool Timeline if we ever get to see Tenz on Jett again, But I think that'll only happen if Zekken get sick or theres a roster change

This is not really the reason. The main reason is SEN dont play to Deadlock's strengths. Deadlock is a stall agent, meant to stall site execs long enough for rotates. But SEN are known to play retake heavy on Defense which is against her strengths. On attack, due to the lack of flashes, you have to play fakes in order to have a good attack, which I dont think SEN did. All this combined with the fact that johnqt has basically no idea how to play her properly leads to SEN losing with deadlock

they just suck at ascent man it ain’t nothing more to it, it’s hard to win when your worst maps are all jett maps, haven, ascent and icebox you can only ban 1 of them so shit they’re just like fucked

don’t think it’s a zekken issue they just play better together when he’s on raze for some reason….. whenever he’s on jett it feels like the team chem is like gone and they just look confused
