Hero Balance Update: Damage Nerfs & Reworks

Valve continues to deliver updates to Deadlock, even without a fixed release schedule. The latest patch isn't huge, but it's far from insignificant. A complete changelog is available on the game's forum.

Four new heroes arrived on January 18th, swiftly followed by balance adjustments. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability can now destroy objects she passes through.

Existing heroes also received tweaks. Kelvin's health increased from 600 to 650. Vendicta's bullet speed dropped from 810 to 740, and her movement speed decreased from nine to eight. In total, eleven heroes, including the new additions, saw targeted changes.

Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a consistently healthy online player count between 7,000 and 20,000.
