deadlock pick rate

why is nobody picking deadlock? is she that trash

yes

huhferno [#2]

yes

whyy

shes not the worst but other agents are better

boring to play, boring to watch, horrible value, reyna is better

bbydrix [#3]

whyy

because her kit is legit useless

shes not the worst but other agents are better

if all the other agents are better that indeed means she is the worse

Not enough time to drill new agent into what you already have, and what is already working/meta. You'll see her next year prob

Bad

Trips can't cover flank like kj and cypher
Wall doesn't cover plant like sage wall
Nade is not better than sage slows or viper mollies for delay

Why would you ever pick her over another sentinel or viper?

Her crouch gernade is the most useless ability in the game alongside the old yoru footsteps, just a worse Fade seize
Wall worse version of sage wall
Ult worse version of Sova and Raze ult
Trip can't hold flank like a sentinel should

could have usage in bind but other than that, i dont see it

You will have to play another sentinel for flanks. So, if you play her, you will have to give up another slot on the team on most maps.

Playing her needs the whole team to change their playstyle. She is only good for stalling executes, denying plants, and denying defuses. However, to actually deny plants and defuses you need another agent with some kind of damage ability. She can only get you the info of the defuser/planter. So your whole team comp has to be planned around playing Deadlock.

Deadlock does have the potential for some crazy combos with other agents. I do think she will be good if picked as a wildcard because she will help secure kills of planters and defusers who are currently able to move away when the util is thrown. The free kills for 3-4 rounds in a game could help, but IDK if it's enough to give up on other useful agents.

i meant her kit isnt terrible but other agents simply do stuff better

she could be played on bind but i dont think she has potential any other map tbh

that's not how it works

how does it work then

yeah bind can be played without flank traps and also is very heavy on plant denial and post plant.

basically everything on her is useless except her cage and ult

her cage sucks imo, it can't cover anything only block chokes at best

shes kinda useless in any maps except ascent or bind. but killjoy exist and shes way better

Nah 0% pick for a new agent is crazy.

make her nade do chip damage until you rip it off
make her trip based off walking into the area (not just noise), increase range you can see it (and hear it) slightly and limit to 1
make her wall's windows also have HP just lower (still need to shoot the orbs to break) ez fix
