Rat King leads the roster with 3,071,978 tracked matches, yet sits at 56.1% win rate (S-tier). Popularity does not equal competitive strength.
Mirage has the lowest win rate at 44.4%, but still appears in 577,695 tracked matches. Players enjoy these heroes regardless of meta standing.
The entire 43-hero roster spans just 13.0 percentage points (from 57.4% to 44.4%). That is a narrower gap than most hero shooters, meaning every character is viable in the right hands.
Deadlock's hero roster rewards team composition more than individual mechanics. A coordinated squad of B-tier heroes with synergistic kits will consistently beat a stack of five S-tier picks that overlap in role. Here is how to read this database and build balanced lineups.
Every Deadlock match is won or lost on lane control and objective timing. A balanced team needs coverage across four functional roles: a frontline initiator who creates space and absorbs damage, a sustained damage carrier who scales into the late game, a support or utility hero who amplifies teammates or disrupts enemies, and a flex pick who fills whatever gap the draft leaves open.
The most common mistake at low-to-mid ranks is stacking the same role. If three players all lock carries, nobody initiates fights and nobody protects the backline. Before you lock your pick, check what your teammates have selected and ask: does this team need more damage, more survivability, or more crowd control?
Win rate tells you how often a hero wins across all matches, but it does not tell you why. A hero with a 44.4% win rate is not necessarily bad - they may have a high skill ceiling that only rewards experienced players, or they may depend on a specific team composition that is rare in pub matches. Conversely, Graves's 57.4% win rate reflects broad effectiveness across many team setups, not just raw power.
The 13.0-percentage-point spread across the entire 43-hero roster is tighter than most competitive games. This means hero selection matters less than you might think: mastering two or three heroes deeply will take you further than chasing the current meta snapshot. The tier list shifts with every balance patch - the players who climb consistently are the ones who know their picks inside out.
Pay attention to match volume, too. Rat King leads with 3,071,978 tracked matches, which signals strong community interest. High match count also means the win rate has stabilized - it is a more reliable signal than heroes with fewer tracked games.
Deadlock's roster currently has 43 player-selectable heroes, of which 43 appear in this database because they clear our minimum match-volume bar in tracked live games. The rest are shown once they accumulate enough tracked matches, and Valve keeps adding new heroes during the playtest.
Based on live tracked win rates, Graves is currently the highest-win-rate hero at 57.4%. The top 8 heroes all sit above 53% win rate and are ranked S-tier. Meta shifts with every balance patch, so check back for the latest rankings.
The average hero win rate across all 43 heroes is 49.3%. The gap between the strongest hero (Graves at 57.4%) and the weakest (Mirage at 44.4%) is just 13.0 percentage points. That is a tighter spread than most hero shooters on the market.
Rat King leads with 3,071,978 tracked matches. The top 5 most-played heroes are Rat King, Haze, Graves, Venator, Deadman Danny.
Win rate equals total wins divided by total matches, multiplied by 100. The underlying figures come from public tracked match data collected at scale. We only display heroes with at least 10,000 tracked matches to ensure statistical reliability. The snapshot refreshes twice daily.
