How we picked them
A good duo in Deadlock isn’t just two strong heroes — it’s two kits that cover each other’s weaknesses. We ranked pairings by their win rate when queued together, then sanity-checked why each one works: a setup hero who lands crowd control for a burst hero, a diver paired with zone control, or two carries who end games before the enemy scales. Rat King dominates the duo charts because his split-push and pick potential amplify almost any partner, with Victor the best of the lot. The lower half of the list leans on classic combo synergy — think Dynamo’s black-hole ult feeding straight into Haze’s.
