Quick answers
Questions
- Who is the best hero in Deadlock right now?
- Rat King wins the most: 56.0% of 219k matches in the last 30 days in Initiate to Mystic matches, ahead of Paige (55.3%) and Graves (55.3%).
- Who is the worst hero in Deadlock right now?
- Mirage has the lowest win rate in Initiate to Mystic matches: 43.1%. A low win rate often means a hero is hard to play well, not that they can't win, so check Mirage's matchups and build before giving up on them.
- How is this tier list made?
- From real matches, not opinions. Each hero's win rate over the last 30 days is compared with the average hero's (49.2%): S tier is far above average, A above, B about average, C below and D far below. The numbers update through the day, so the list follows a patch within a day or two.
- Is the tier list different at high ranks?
- Not at the very top: Rat King leads in Phantom to Eternus matches too, with 54.5%. Lower down it changes more, so pick a rank above to see the list for your matches.
- What does pick rate mean?
- How often a hero is in a match at all: 20% means one match in five has that hero on one of the two teams.
