Deadlock: The Ultimate Early Character Tier List

Seven has been dominating almost every game with a massive 92.05% pick rate, you cannot go wrong with picking him due to his very simple-to-use kit and terrifying ultimate ability that deals massive AoE damage.

PROS:

• Oppressive ultimate ability
• Great team fighting
• Amazing skirmish potential

CONS:

• Lack of mobility

Warden is another great option to pick as he rocks a 55.14% win rate, making him quite the reliable Hero.

PROS:

• Straightforward playstyle
• Provides buffs to teammates
• Solid damage

CONS:

• Somewhat squishy

McGinnis is a very fun and intuitive Hero to play given how much of her kit revolves around creating space for your teammates and zoning enemies from either neutral objectives or cutting off avenues of approach.

PROS:

• Turrets are annoying to deal with
• Great utility
• Decent damage

CONS:

• Immobile

Haze is incredibly fun to play due to her ganking kit, coupled with insane damage if you are able to land headshots with ease, she is a menace to deal with.

PROS:

• Invisibility
• Good CC
• Rewarding gameplay

CONS:

• Squishy

Lady Geist is rather unique due to her playstyle revolving around sacrificing Health for damage and her abilities. 

PROS:

• Built-in sustain
• Fantastic damage output
• Great utility

CONS:

• Lack of mobility

Mo & Krill can be very fun to play, but you can struggle to maximize your usefulness due to the short-range the Hero has. If you love diving into enemies, then give them a try. 

Ivy has a very high skill ceiling, and although it will take some time to get used to the kit, you can end up with some game-winning plays. You can enable some great combos with your ultimate ability.

Abrams is the go-to Hero if you want a simple and straightforward kit with some very oppressive damage and tankiness. 

Lash dishes out tons of damage coupled with a very agile kit that helps him traverse the map and lock onto enemies without much effort.

Pocket can potentially be placed higher up on the list, but his rather difficult kit can be a setback, but all in all, you will find great success due to his insane damage and repositioning options. 

Wraith can be very fun to play as you have a point-and-click CC ultimate with some decent damage as well as mobility whilst also granting allies bonus Fire Rate. She has it all and is very easy to learn, but you might need additional backup from your teammates to finish off enemies. 

Kelvin is a ton of fun as you have incredible mobility, coupled with oppressive CC and an ultimate that can set up some great AoE combos. 

Infernus is another very fun and explosive Hero who can quickly establish a lead in lane due to his oppressive kit and DoT damage. 

Shiv is a bit of a mixed bag as he shines in specific scenarios as his short range can be detrimental in extended fights. If you are looking for a Hero that can execute enemies, then look no further.

Dynamo has one of the strongest ultimate abilities in the game, making him a monster in terms of CC as well as some healing sprinkled in to make him a strong tanky Hero. 

Bebop can be placed higher up on the list, but his kit can be tricky as you will need to land your hooks to make up for the short range. 

Things are looking ugly for Yamato currently, and we are not even gonna mention the placeholder model. His heavy melee playstyle can easily get punished so he is in dire need of some changes. 

Grey Talon has a very fun build revolving his ultimate ability, but his viability is questionable as you need a lot of items to become a threat. 

Viscous got hit with some heavy nerfs to his abilities so he quickly plummeted to the bottom of the barrel. 

Vindicta is massively undertuned so hopefully, Valve fixes her damage as she has a meager 44.07% win rate. 

Paradox is in a weird spot currently as it seems players are finding it difficult to make full use of his kit, thus resulting in a very low play and win rate.
