DEADLOCKDeadlock meta
Valve does not publish one patch number for the live game. This hub uses dates. The last major update is City Never Sleeps on 29 September 2026. Win rates below that date belong to trackers, not to Valve.
I refused to average Tracklock and Statlocker on this page. They sample different queues. Each child page names one source and a date instead.
Pick the page that matches the question
“Best heroes” is the tier list. “What rank am I climbing” is the rank page. “How many people are playing” is the player-count page, which tracks the 303,347 peak of 16 October 2026 and links out for a live chart.
Questions
What patch is the meta on?
Cite 29 September 2026 for the last major and 14 October 2026 for the latest balance patch. The tier page dates each tracker snapshot.
Where are hero builds?
The rules of builds are on the builds page. A full item path for one hero stays on that hero page, and only when someone has tested it.
Which stat site should I open?
Tracklock for a tier snapshot, Statlocker for post-match review. The comparison is on the stat-trackers page.
