aesthetically I dont like the game and find characters designs boring.
Like I dont think characters and look of the game is bad on a technical level maybe its even good, I just dont find it appealing, and it looks like the game has a very set look and style.

the characters Just dont really have any spark for me, they are design wise not bad but they are just drab to me.

The best was I can explain it is, its like a cool area in a mmo but for it to be the whole game is just a no for me. These would be cool npcs in a mmo but to be the characters you are playing in a game they just dont look that amazing.

I had this problem with dota 2 where I thought most characters were boring looking, quite a bit of them looked like what ever world of world craft npcs.

They just dont have that X factor going on for me

Character design is aggressively unappealing.

Another issue with the character design are the silhouettes. Hero shooters are supposed to have recognizable silhouettes so you can tell at a glance who you're fighting against. Even TF2 follows that formula flawlessly, but in Deadlock it feels like the characters just blend with the background. The colors are very muted and the designs uninspired. Almost everything is brown, black or other dark shades of blue/green.

Vindicta and Lady Geist are the only characters that look nice and original, and it seems like they're going to improve Yamato. That's a start, but the game definitely needs a lot more before launch. I'm optimistic, though.

All of the characters are not final. The Neon Prime placeholders (Yamato, Haze, and Grey Talon) is confirmed that will be replaced with their Deadlock counterparts. Viscous is literally Neon Prime Kelvin without any texture and is just a goo shader with a helmet right now.

The game takes clear inspiration from Hellboy and Black Hammer 2 of the most celebrated comic books of the last 20 years. LIke... the character designs are pretty fire lol

And what about the rest of them? Not one of them looks good. That's why I'm doubtful it will be fixed. I hope your right though.

Bruh, then you just don't like them. Simple as that, they don't have to "Fix" something you don't like, when others do like it.

The problem is almost no one thinks they acceptable as they are now. The character design overall is objectively bad. So yes, it does need fixing.
Maybe they should add another voting line at the end of the match. "How cool is this characters appearance?". It would be good for them to get wider feedback on that rather than relying on people winging in the discussion board.

do they? all my friends who are playing the play test dont really like the characters. this is probably not a uncommon thing

[カミナ]

Yeah I think most the character and art is pretty ugly. The map is also uninteresting and samey and not fun to navigate. Vindicta is probably the only character I like.

The games graphics are also really bad. Everything looks very blurry and aliased and low quality.

But for me my biggest issue is I don't find the core gameplay attractive either.

Darn tootin', Willy! Ah reckon dem uppity city boys think they're too big for their britches. Ain't make a lick o' sense to me that ya'll think these characters got hit by the ugly stick.

[ccfireball]

Gotta agree, a lot of the character designs are unflattering and dull to say the least. Still, its not as awful as something like Concord's character designs if that's anything.

[Claymore Roomba]

Don't play it then, lol.

[Fawxkitteh]

A lot of it is likely still in the works.
They just largely remodeled one of the buildings, and I've seen neutral camp models data mined.

I like most of the designs, there are just a few that I think need work. Like Warden.

And what is that guy talking about, the map is super fun to navigate. One of the most fun in any shooter or moba.
