Our Deadlock character tier list ranks all 44 heroes by win rate in real matches. In the current meta, Baba leads and Deadman Danny 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".
