Deadlock Tier Lists
Deadlock's hero balance is still moving fast as Valve iterates, and the roster shifts under you: the 12 August 2026 update alone retuned thirteen heroes. This board captures the community's read on the hero pool in ranked — which is not the same thing as a win-rate table. Trackers already carry hundreds of thousands of matches per hero, so the value here is not filling a data gap; it is that raw win rate flattens everything that decides a draft. Pick rate, who a hero is actually good into, how much a kit punishes a coordinated team versus a solo queue, and how fast a nerf is felt in play all move a hero's real standing before they move its win rate.
