Deadlock tier list and meta

Updated Current patch, since October 15, 2026 1.6M matches

Our Deadlock character tier list ranks all 44 heroes by win rate in real matches. In the current meta, Graves leads and Pocket sits at the bottom. Tiers are relative: S is about one standard deviation above the average win rate, D one below. Small samples are pulled toward 50% and rarely picked heroes can't reach S. How the tiers work.

Deadlock win rates explained

  • Win rate: wins divided by matches for players on that hero.
  • Pick rate: share of matches with that hero in them. 12 heroes play each match, so the average is about 27%.
  • Rank brackets use the average badge of both teams. Most unranked games have no badge, so they count only under "All ranks".
  • Current patch starts at the latest patch (October 15, 2026). See which heroes the patch buffed and nerfed in practice.
