deadlock

one of the main purposes of sentinels is to catch flank and her ability is literally useless when they are shift walking , whats even the point of her? what was riot thinkin?

deadlock = insta dodge

Blud doesn’t know about sage sentinel are supposed to stall and anchor she does a terrible job at that

one of the main purposes of sentinels is NOT to catch flank
that is just a bonus some have

Sentinels are meant to stall/stop pushes, which deadlock is MEANT to be good for (even tho they balanced her kit really shittily)

deadlock isn't that horrible on her own, its just that she can't do anything that killjoy/cypher can't

tbh ive found Deadlock + Chamber works okay
chamber covers the info trip problem while keeping plenty of firepower
and deadlock is great as a defensive senti and her util also works pretty good on attack, like the stuns for afterplant or wall to cover a retake angle
...unfortunately killjoy is also good at all of that .-.

IT IS one of their main purposes

this is the same reason why sage is known as not the typical type of sentinel

me when im confidently wrong

its literally part of the official role description in game

shes only good if paired with another sentinel which is why shes bad
its super inefficient to run double sentinel when u can run solo kj or double smokes both of which are better

i mean it says preventing so you could just wall off flank and that technically counts
dont do this in your ranked games
