How this list is made
- Source: measured results from deadlock-api.com, normal-mode matches since 2026-09-30 (City Never Sleeps), refreshed every day.
- Bands: S 54% and up · A 51.5–54% · B 48.5–51.5% · C 46–48.5% · D below 46%. Fixed, so a letter always means the same thing.
- Win rate is not everything. A hero can win little overall and still beat the one you are facing — open any hero for who counters them, or the matchup tool for your actual game.
- New heroes start far from 50% and settle as players learn them, so read a fresh hero's spot with care.
