Patch notes FAQ

Where are the official Deadlock patch notes?＋

Valve posts them on the Deadlock Steam news page and in the Changelog section of the official forums. Every entry here links to the original post.

How often does Deadlock update?＋

Deadlock gets small balance updates every one to three weeks and larger content updates every few months. During the autumn 2026 hero rollout, a new hero arrived roughly every few days.

How do you measure who got stronger after a patch?＋

We compare each hero's win rate in the 7 days before the update with the days after it (up to 7). Changes under a point are usually noise; new heroes are left out until they have enough games.
