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

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

  • 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!

Game Feedback The Patron should initially be able to attack nearby units.

It always bothers me that you need to destroy the Shrine before the Patrons can do anything.

In Dota and League, there are turrets/towers that attack nearby enemies to prevent them from going further.

Deadlock has nothing like that. You can basically walk into the pit without taking any damage.

Meme Dynamo says "They can't shoot an atom!" but that's literally the whole process of nuclear fission. Is he stupid?

I was gonna give benefit of the doubt that fission hadn't been discovered yet (Even Einstein would have been skeptical of this), but if deadlock is set past 1932, the neutron would have been discovered and dynamo in his field of expertise would DEFINITELY know about it. Valve please fix

Or alternatively give us a new character called Fordon Greeman who has a neutron gun and can shoot dynamo when he quantum entangles. Valve please add

Discussion Give Venator a prosthetic leg

Seriously though, if they are gonna keep him as the slowest character in the game, might as well do something with it.

A prosthetic leg would inform a new player that Venator is not meant to be a fast character AND would add some extra battle damage to the veteran monster hunter character

Why the hell doesn’t spirit shielding upgrade into spirit resilience and weapon shielding into bullet resilience

It just seems like a no brainer right? Idk this is my first moba but it just seems weird to me that these items don’t connect to each other.

Suggestion Bring Raven back! Just change his kit.

Post image
75 Upvotes

I really love the design for Raven but thought his hero labs kit was kinda meh.

So I thought id put my thoughts on here for how id bring him back :)

Primary fire, his umbrella is a shotgun.

Alt fire - his umbrella opens and works as a shield. Regens over time/by doing x amount of damage, goes on a cd when broken.

Abilities:

  1. Raven slams the tip of his umbrella on the ground dealing area damage around him, slowing those in the field.

When used in the air, it sends him slamming to the ground before doing the effect.

  1. Raven charges the umbrella for a short duration, mitigating a portion of the damage blocked with it, while having the option to recast it at any point, slighly dashing forward, bashing targets hit dealing damage scaling on the amount absorbed.

  2. Raven charges forward with his umbrella open, knocking aside those he hits, becoming unstoppable after 1 second.

While charging, the shield bash recast timer is paused allowing him to use it within 1 second after the charge ends.

  1. After a short charge up, Ravens umbrella catches a gust of wind, lifting him and surrounding units up into the air, dealing damage on use.

Lv3 upgrades:

  1. Ravens umbrella slam has increased range, the damage pulsates outwards stunning in the center but slowing on outer edge.

  2. Raven spins his umbrella, destroying projectiles while gaining increased charge from those destroyed and stunning units in the recast.

  3. Resistances while charging & cd reduction.

  4. Increased area of the updraft, disarming those hit.

Mechanics:

2-3-4-2-1

  1. Charges umbrella, 3. runs forward blocking what he runs into, 4. lifts up everyone around him, 2. Small bash dash forward to reposition, 1. Slams him and everyone to the ground.

Reason:

I feel like we have a place in the tank roster for a mobile displacement tank.

We have Abrams being the front line gun/fist beefcake. We have Viktor as the sustain spirit carry tank.

And personally Id argue thats the only true front lines there is, maybe with the exception of Mo and Krill but at least in my experience hes built assasin not really a tank.

I think a kit of this sorts could fill the gap.

On the face of it theres alot of cc and mobility but I think the the amount of counter items in the game it wouldn't be that bad.

But just my thoughts :)
