Deadlock Tier List (June 2026): The Best Heroes Right Now

Last updated: June 3, 2026

Every patch reshuffles the meta, so a tier list is only as trustworthy as its date — the one below reflects current win-rates plus pro and streamer consensus for June 2026. If you're jumping into the Deadlock game for the first time, or dusting it off after a break, here's who's dominating and who to leave on the bench.

Quick answer: The current S-tier is Seven, Victor, Graves, Haze and Dynamo. The June 2026 meta rewards mobile, high-HP heroes who can chase a kill and survive the dive. New player? Skip the S-tier and start on something forgiving (see below).

The tier list (June 2026)

Tier	Heroes
S	Seven Victor Graves Haze Dynamo
A	Infernus Abrams Yamato McGinnis Pocket Lash Bebop
B	Wraith Vindicta Paradox Ivy Mo & Krill Kelvin Warden Mirage
C	Vyper Grey Talon Shiv Sinclair Venator

Tiers reflect solo-queue win-rate and high-level play in early June 2026. Heroes not listed are roughly mid-tier and very playable.

Best heroes for beginners

The strongest hero and the best hero for you are rarely the same. These five are forgiving, impactful, and teach good habits:

Dynamo Abrams Seven Ivy Mo & Krill

Why the meta looks like this

• Mobility is king. Heroes who can close distance or escape (Seven's chase, Victor's flight, Graves' aggression) punish the squishier, stand-still picks.
• Sustain wins lanes. Dynamo and Abrams shrug off poke and out-last opponents in the early game.
• Late scaling. Several A-tier carries spike hard once their core items come online.

🎮 Dota 2 players: treat this like a patch tier list, not gospel — a single balance update can move a hero two tiers. As in Dota, a comfort one-trick in B-tier will out-perform a shaky S-tier pick every time. Master one or two before chasing the meta.

A word of warning

Deadlock patches land roughly monthly, and Valve is not shy about hard nerfs. Bookmark a live win-rate tracker and re-check the meta after every major update — a tier list from two patches ago can be actively misleading.
