Deadlock Tier List – Best Heroes Ranked [Updated]

Looking for the updated DeadLock Tier List? Because we have all been there. You load into a match, excited to try out that hero you saw a streamer dominate with. You think you’ve got it figured out. But ten minutes later, you are staring at a respawn screen, your lane is crumbling, and you are wondering what went wrong.

But here is the truth: sometimes, it’s not you. It’s the hero. In a game as complex and rapidly evolving as Deadlock, the meta shifts constantly. A hero that was a god-tier pick last week might be completely useless today because of a single patch note. If you are not paying attention to the Deadlock Heroes Tier List, you are essentially bringing a knife to a gunfight.

I wrote this guide because I am tired of seeing skilled players lose matches simply because they picked a hero that is statistically destined to fail in the current patch. You don’t have time to test every single character yourself. You need to know who works now.

This Deadlock Heroes Tier List (often searched as the MLBB Hero Tier List by players transitioning genres) is your cheat sheet. It is built on hard data—win rates, pick rates, and performance trends from the latest 2026 patch. We are going to break down exactly who you should be picking if you want to climb.

How We Rank Heroes

This Deadlock tier list evaluates every hero based on win rate, pick rate, and win rate trends across all matches in the current patch (2026-01-30 Patch). Heroes with consistently high win rates across large sample sizes rank higher. The data reflects the standard (Normal) game mode.

S+ Tier Heroes

These heroes are the absolute best in Deadlock right now. They dominate across all skill levels with exceptional win rates and strong matchup spreads. If you want to climb, these are your safest picks.

Heroes: Victor, Graves

S Tier Heroes

Incredibly strong heroes that consistently perform above average. They have great win rates and solid pick rates, making them reliable choices in almost any team composition.

Heroes: Seven, Mo & Krill, Paige, Haze

A Tier Heroes

Solid heroes that hold their own in most situations. They may not be the absolute best, but they are reliable picks with respectable win rates that can carry games when played well.

Heroes: Lash, Bebop, Abrams, Dynamo, Drifter, Ivy, Warden, Calico

B Tier Heroes

Average-performing heroes that are balanced but not standout. They work in the right hands and team compositions but are outperformed by higher-tier picks in general play.

Heroes: McGinnis, Yamato, Wraith, Pocket, Kelvin, Grey Talon, Rem, Lady Geist, Sinclair, Viscous, Billy

C Tier Heroes

Below-average heroes that struggle in the current meta. They have lower win rates and often require specific conditions or team support to be effective.

Heroes: Infernus, The Doorman, Venator, Vyper, Mirage, Paradox, Vindicta, Mina

D Tier Heroes

The weakest heroes in the current patch. They have the lowest win rates and are generally outperformed by other options. Consider these only if you have significant experience with them.

Heroes: Holliday, Silver, Shiv

About This Tier List

This tier list is automatically generated from live match data. Win rates, pick rates, and trends are recalculated with each patch update. Hero rankings can shift significantly between patches as Valve adjusts balance. Bookmark this page and check back after each patch for the latest rankings.

How to Read This Tier List

Before you look at the rankings, let’s establish some ground rules. A “bad” hero in the hands of a specialist can still win games, but it is going to be an uphill battle. We want to make your life easier, not harder.

  • Tier S+ (Overpowered): These are the game-breakers. They have win rates pushing past 55% and can often carry a game single-handedly. If they aren’t banned, you pick them.
  • Tier S (Top Tier): The reliable powerhouses. They fit into almost any team composition and consistently perform well.
  • Tier A & B (Balanced): The sweet spot. These heroes are viable and strong but require a bit more skill or team coordination to shine.
  • Tier C & D (Struggling): Proceed with caution. These heroes are currently fighting against the current. Unless you are a master with them, you are statistically more likely to lose.

Breaking Down the Meta: Who to Pick in 2026

The raw data in the list above is great, but let’s talk about why these heroes are dominating the current Deadlock Heroes Tier List. Understanding the “why” is what separates a casual player from a ranked climber.

The S+ Kings: Victor and Graves

Right now, Victor and Graves are in a league of their own. Victor’s win rate of 55.15% is absurd. He offers a combination of durability and damage that makes him nearly impossible to trade against effectively in the laning phase. Graves isn’t far behind; his kit allows him to control the pace of the game, forcing enemies to play on his terms. If you see either of them open, lock them in.

The Rise of Seven and Mo & Krill

In the S-Tier, we are seeing Seven and Mo & Krill tear through lobbies. Seven’s recent buffs have pushed his win rate up to 54.61%, making him a terrifying presence in team fights. Mo & Krill offer disruption that can completely dismantle an uncoordinated enemy team. They are “freelo” if you learn their rotations.

The “Trap” Picks (Tier D)

I know you love Holliday and Silver. They have cool designs and flashy abilities. But looking at the data, they are currently sitting in the D-Tier for a reason. With win rates hovering around 45%, picking them puts your team at a statistical disadvantage from the moment the match starts. Unless you have hundreds of hours on them, save them for casual matches, not your rank-up games.

Final Thoughts

The meta is a living thing. It breathes and changes with every update from Valve. What works today in 2026 might not work next month. However, sticking to the top of this Deadlock Heroes Tier List gives you the edge you need to stop those frustrating loss streaks.

Stop trying to force D-Tier heroes to work. Respect the data, learn the top-tier characters, and go secure that win.

See you in the match.
