Valve’s highly secretive 6v6 MOBA hero shooter is currently taking over Steam. Even though the game is strictly invite-only, hundreds of thousands of players are logging in daily to figure out the complex lane mechanics.
If you want to carry your team, you cannot just pick a hero because they look cool. You need to consult the valve deadlock tier list. Based on the latest high-MMR (Matchmaking Rating) data from the closed beta, certain heroes are completely breaking the current meta. Here are the highest win-rate characters and why you need to play them.

1. S-Tier (The Hard Carries)
These heroes currently boast a win rate above 54% in high-skill lobbies. If they are not banned or picked by your team, you are at a massive disadvantage.
- Seven: The undisputed king of the current meta. His area-of-denial capabilities and massive electrical burst damage make him impossible to push against in the late game.
- Haze: The ultimate snowball character. If Haze gets an early farm advantage, her invisibility and rapid-fire ultimate will shred the entire enemy team in seconds.
- Lady Geist: The highest skill-ceiling hero in the game. A good Lady Geist player will constantly sacrifice her own health to deal massive burst damage, only to instantly heal it all back with her Life Drain ability.
2. A-Tier (Strong Flex Picks)
These heroes are incredibly reliable and fit into almost any team composition.
- Pocket: Extremely mobile and annoying to deal with. His briefcase teleport allows him to dive the backline and escape before the enemy can react.
- Warden: The ultimate lockdown tank. Warden excels at isolating mobile heroes like Haze and shutting them down completely.
- Infernus: If you love dealing damage over time (DoT), Infernus is your best bet. His burn damage forces enemies to retreat constantly, giving your team massive lane control.
🛡️ EXPERT COMMENTS: HOW TO COUNTER SEVEN
Why is Seven’s ultimate so overpowered?
Seven’s ultimate ability summons a massive electrical storm that covers almost an entire lane, making it impossible to contest objectives. However, new players do not realize that line-of-sight entirely breaks his damage. If you hear him casting his ultimate, do not try to run out of the massive circle. Simply hide behind a building, a truck, or a wall. If Seven cannot physically see your character model, the electricity will not damage you, rendering his ultimate completely useless.
