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.
