The latest balance patch unfortunately has not changed the insane amount of snowball in Deadlock but there has been some big changes regarding who is META! Couple of heroes got some BIG buffs! Lets talk about who is loving this patch.
The biggest winner of the patch is Holliday who got a massive damage and CC increase by making her powder keg fire at LIGHT SPEED and adding a stun to her bounce pad.
Warden also comes out on top by getting massive spirit buffs to the scaling on his shield and his ultimate cooldown, length, and life steal increased. Warden leveling ultimate first is back baby.
The top 3 things that deadlock needs to prioritize are the following:
1) Picks And Bans. Lord help me we need a draft.
The next ones are honestly just as important.
3) A full MMR/ELO reset. Clearly lots of people are riding 1.5 year old MMR and a hard reset back to base for everyone would quickly resolve the issue.
New urn mechanic seems it will just make snowball worse. Forcing a classic team fight just means the team that's winning typically just wins more. It seems what they really need is a gold fury/dragon equivalent and they are trying to avoid it.
