Play These 10 Characters to RANK UP FAST in Deadlock

Deadlock's ranked update is finally here, meaning we are all back to square one with a new patch, fresh system, and a new chance to chase Elo. As a previous top 500 Aeternum player, I have my list of 10 heroes, two from five different selected roles, that you should be using to win free games. But before we jump

Since the matchmaking got reset and everything is kind of all over the place, games are very weird. And I found more success on flexible heroes instead of those that just excel at one thing in

The first position that we're actually going to be covering today are your M1 carries, particularly the ones that do their damage with their gun. The first

character we're going to be talking about is Mirage. While Mirage got his cyclone nerfed and no longer really uses Echo Shard to chain CC people, they did fix a bug that caused his mark to not proc faster. That buff never went through on that previous patch. What this means now is that while he doesn't

knock people up as much, he's going to be doing more damage and doing that damage even faster. His curbs in lane are also incredible and allow you to trade with enemies no matter what, since they reduce the outgoing damage of the target they are attached to. The best part about Mirage though is his ultimate

For example, if your team sees that the rift is spawning, but then someone leaves the lane on the opposite
