BABA IS DISGUSTING | Hero Analysis

#deadlock #deadlockgame #deadlockguide You'll notice that my thumbnails may be higher quality, it's because it's not me anymore! big thanks to Blanq, here's his socials: https://x.com/blanqpsd https://www.behance.net/1280px My twitch:   / thefighterjett   Discord:   / discord   And this is because baba’s first ability, threadsap, is incredibly powerful. At base, baba steals 10 spirit power per hit, and this is basically increased by 1 spirit power per each boon she gains. That spirit power she steals is 75% more effective, so at base she’s really stealing more like 17 spirit power. While baba has stolen spirit power, her gun gets basekit mercurial magnum; dealnig an extra 8 spirit damage per bullet at base level. That spirit damage scales at a rate of 0.28 and it’s safe to say is likely the strongest part of her kit, considering it gives the effects of one of the most broken tier 4 items of all time at level 0. On top of that, Threadsap is CHARGED for some ungodly reason. Something interesting about threadsap also is the fact that the projectile’s path can be curved, as it follows your crosshair kind of like a wraith card. The actual thread projectile is also 3 and a half meters wide at base at goes up to 35 meters away at base level, which is ridiculous, making it very easy to land, especially if you’re curving it properly. Oh, and by the way, at level three, this ability is also soft CC, pulling enemies 7m towards you. And that is directly towards you, not in the direction of your curve, unfortunately. I think that would’ve been some really fun skill expression in this hero, but she’s already broken enough. This thing can hit so many enemies so often, and so far away that your game plan basically boils down to spamming your abilities in the back of a teamfight. And this is generally her gameplan because she only has 2 base stamina and a lower base movespeed than PAIGE and RAT KING, which is insanely slow. Which is fine, just like with paige, it makes baba’s counterplay to out-maneuver her, or, if you get hit by her threadsap, build for anti-debuff. In the same vein, another interesting thing about baba’s base vitality stats is the fact that she starts with a base value of 8% spirit resist that scales with spirit power, at a modest rate of 0.12 per spirit power. I’m not gonna lie, I really don’t get why she has this, since she’s a backline caster. I just think giving her any bulk like this is kinda weird. Her base regen is also 2.5, which is 0.5 more than most heroes tend to be. (obligatory mention of the infernus video, holiday crackshot video, and paige video I know crazy right? Unrelated but now I am going to say " Apollo ," " Venator ," " Celeste ," " Silver ," "sinclair" (because that video did way better than I expected holy crap) "Lash", "Gun Lash" " Graves ," and " Rem ". For no reason. Trust. I just felt like it.)
