Discussion Deadlock Wiki Update - July 2026 - A Rift Between Themes

Upvotes

The deadlock.wiki continues to grow and refine into a true Community Wiki, reaching a milestone 100,000 edits on our 1,359 articles of pure Deadlock Content. Interested in discussing the wiki? Join the Deadlock Wiki Discord

Deadlock Updates

Valve has not yet released a major update since the Old Gods, New Blood update, but many (many many) minor tweaks have been made to our favourite heroes and the Cursed Apple.

  • The Unstable Rift has been the largest add, creating a capture point in one of the side lanes in the middle of the round. Check out the Cool New Slider Gadget to see how many souls the Rift is worth depending on round time!
  • The Soul Urn (Spirit Jar? Idol?) has been tweaked dramatically one way or the other as Valve does significant changes to the little belegged ceramic objective

Major Wiki Updates

The Wiki has been doing spookily splendid, with viewership still maintaining high numbers over 300,000 unique viewers a month despite no major Deadlock updates recently. We're doing well enough to begin attracting scraper bots, so some mitigation efforts have begun to reduce the bot load on our server.

  • A brand new layout for our Main page! While not a dramatic re-imagining, the new main page makes use of the space for a dynamic Updates space, a Featured Article, more links, and an overall more-compact look that works better on Mobile. - By Kai
  • Our most requested feature (that we removed in the first place), Light Theme! Simply click the Sun icon on the top right bar beside your username to toggle over to our light theme made specifically for the wiki. Fun fact: The main color is called Pastel Greige. - By Kai & Monster_Domosed
  • A Street Brawl (EX: Paradox) section of each hero page has been created and expanded, showing the approximate odds that different items will appear. Did you know that each hero had a unique pool of items? - By Vergir
  • Tools and Calculators are beginning to be implemented, such as a Souls Gain calculator over match time, a hero comparison table, and even a Tier List Creator  for both Heroes and Items. So who is the objectively best hero in Deadlock?  - By Kai & LVL
  • Moved the Lore sections of hero pages to subpages and then dramatically expanded them. Huge amounts of lore and citations all at once! Here'sHolliday's lore. Read it! - By Mr. Mindish & Gammaton
    • Also all Voice Line subpages are completed, see what those heroes are really talking about! (EX: Mirage. - By Mr. Mindish
  • Ability sections on hero pages (such as Apollo's skills) now show a small strip of hoverable squares with item and ability interactions, such as whether it can be Dispelled or not. - By Vergir
    • The WIP Interactions tab also shows a more detailed look at the above item and ability interactions for some of the heroes. - By Vergir
  • Added a Feedback button on all pages in the main namespace to submit feedback, posted automatically to that page's Talk Namespace. - By Monster_Domosed and Kai

Techy Wiki Updates

  • Many Caching and Performance Optimizations. Caching done with Cloudflare. Images lazy-load on very-long pages and many templates are optimized to work faster. Most thumbnails are now generated as high-quality WEBP Files, up to 4x faster! - By Cronos
    • Followed by an implementation of forked GloopTweaks, adding automated Cloudflare purges
  • A new Contact button in the page footer to send an email to the site owner - By Cronos
  • Various theming and gadget improvements to load with the rest of the page to prevent "flashbanging" our users with rapid theme changes. - By Cronos, Kai, Monster_Domosed
  • Custom Cloudflare WAF rules to conditionally allow traffic from certain bots, scripts, crawlers, and scrapers. - By Cronos

Minor Wiki Updates

  • Updated Hero Comparison table with toggleable alt-fire rows. - By LVL
  • Added search bar to the Item Navbox to gray out unrelated items. - By LVL
  • Much improved Patch Note Formatting. - By Kai
  • Updated Itembox templating for speedier loading and better images. - By TheMilkMan & Jannepg

How can YOU help?

  • Let us know what's stopping you from being a Wiki Contributor. Are you afraid of making a "bad" edit, or simply overwhelmed with what you want to edit? Never fear, be bold, make those minor edits, and we will welcome every contributor with joy.
  • Read through the Lore pages of your favorite hero. Does it make sense? Does it connect well with the other heroes and the lore of Deadlock? Make a change or discuss it in our Discord.
  • What do you think of our Main Page? Do you find yourself looking for different links or find a section that doesn't look good on Mobile? Let us know! In the end, find what inspires you about Deadlock, then just make your first edit, then your second, then keep on editing! There is no need to Create an account to make edits, so simply edit away!
  • Hop on to our Discord to post some memes, ask any question on your mind, or simply chat about the game. What else do you think? Respond here, in the Discord, or in DMs to any Administrator or Editor. We love pings.

Thank you Deadlock Community, we're on the rise! Let's win that Ritual and make a Wish.

Discussion Im not longer sick of her bro

Post image
Upvotes

In my last post I was so sick of Graves and I still think she's annoying dont get me wrong but she isn't much of a problem anymore. I read all your guys' comments and suggestions, took em to heart, and incorporated em in my gameplay. I unavoided Geaves and played 3 games worth and granted I lost all 3 but I didnt perform bad nor did Graves get on my nerves as much as she did before in my previous post. Do I still find her a lil vexing? Yes absolutely but taking time to understand the counterplay instead of just playing and feeling helpless makes her a lot easier to deal with and I played a game as her too to understand better and while I did win that game I was decent in it but I now know how much of a throw pick she can be but also how much value she can offer.

TLDR: I got better and Graves doesn't get on my nerves as much anymore and to all the peeps who read my last post and commented giving tips I appreciate you and to all the people saying that she's ass ans I just need to get better still appreciate it because it did make me play a lot safer naturally in my games with/without her

Of course Lady Geist has her own and ones for Holliday, Infernus, and Ivy are incomplete but in the game files. But after these 4 who should be next?

Personally I’d want one following one of the members of the Baxter Society or Pocket.

Game Feedback Is There Any Way to Buff Silver Without Making Her OP?

Post image
Upvotes

I don't think it's any secret right now Silver is arguably one of the weakest characters in the game right now. She consistently has one of the lowest win and pick rates throughout all ranks and finds herself in this weird spot of not really having a strong role like she used to ever since they removed her 30% missing hp heal recast on ult when she gets a kill (And I'm like 90% certain it applied to assists too).

So like, what can they do? If they buff her ult the wrong way she ends up being a problem again. They make her base form better you incentivize basically never getting ult. It feels like she's destined to be on either end of the bell curve of strength basically no matter what they do.

Fan Art WiP Model of Silver

I'm working on a personal project, making Lilah Silver from Deadlock as my first proper attempt at creating a human model/character. Something about the face is bugging me, and I was hoping to get some critique and suggestions on how to make her look better.

I am aware of Silver's asymmetrical mouth shape. It's only symmetrical now for ease of creation.

Edit: This is not my first model! This is my first time really trying to make a Human model!

So if you ever struggle against Graves, or she puts the grave in a weird spot. Play Viscous!

Or just play Viscous because he's fun.

Kind of a boring item but I wanted to create something similar to Grit and that rewards slower characters for lane aggression, not sure how balanced this is to be honest so feedback would be great.

Discussion Why does Bashdown interrupt all actions including abilities and M1?

I understand it is intended to drive enemies to the ground, but it acts as a universal animation cancel - why? Nothing about its description indicates it's supposed to do that, only that it "Pulls down"
