Deadlock Hero Tier List & Current Meta
Welcome to the Tier List section of Lock Builds. It is common knowledge that Deadlock is a MOBA/RPG game. MOBA games are all about different characters with different abilities and how they fit in the META. The more the characters, the more there will be discrepancies in power. Not all Heroes are made to be on the same level. Of course devs might turn a weak hero into the most overpowered character in the game, but that doesn’t change the fact there always will be a hierarchy in power. That is what the Tier List is for.
The Tier List scans all the matches played after a major patch, checks which heroes players are choosing, and how well those heroes are performing in matches. Then it combines all that data and assigns a ‘Tier’ to every single hero. If players are winning more matches with certain heroes, they are assigned to a higher tier. If certain heroes are resulting in more losses then they are put at a lower tier. If players don’t want to get into those minute details then this Tier List is the easiest way to know which Heroes are currently in the META. Just focus on every hero listed in S or A Tier, and you should get an idea about the Best Heroes in Deadlock.
