#deadlock Valve has quietly rolled out a major overhaul of the ranking system. Everything works differently now: • Top-tier stats (MVPs, top damage, objective scores, and team commendations) significantly accelerate your rank-up speed. • Win streaks now carry much more weight. • Lobby balancing now accurately reflects your current rank. • Match history (including the "difficulty" of past games) is aggregated to provide an additional boost to your rank. • Player commendations now have a substantial impact on ranking speed; the more you are praised, the faster you climb. • Rank adjustments now occur approximately 6 times faster than before.



Valve’s upcoming game Deadlock has lost half of its average players in the last 3 months




Valve is feeding a LOT more than KDA into their ranking ML model after each match: - How fast you're moving - How often your active items are on cooldown - Time spent NOT contributing to game events - How efficient your build was - Your share of the team's net worth

In the future, Deadlock will have roles, and we’ve previously talked about these classes. Here’s which heroes belong to each role. ASSASSIN - Calico - Drifter - Haze - Lash - Mirage - Pocket - Vyper - Yamato BRAWLER - Abrams - Bebop - Billy - Kelvin - Mo & Krill - Shiv - Victor - Warden MARKSMAN - Grey Talon - Holliday - Infernus - Ivy - Mina - Paradox - Venator - Vindicta - Wraith MYSTIC - Doorman - Dynamo - Lady Geist - McGinnis - Paige - Seven - Sinclair - Viscous #deadlock
