Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, balance adjustments swiftly followed. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown in those instances. Calico's Ava ability gains the power to destroy objects during traversal.
Existing heroes also received attention: Kelvin's health is boosted from 600 to 650, while Vendicta's bullet speed is reduced (810 to 740) alongside a movement speed decrease (9 to 8). In total, eleven heroes—including the recent additions—underwent targeted adjustments.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a consistently healthy online player base fluctuating between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
