In the wake of the massive new Hero update to Deadlock in August, the dust has finally settled, and we are in a position to take a look at a Deadlock Hero tier list for September 2025. Hopefully, with this, we can start to get a sense of what Heroes are performing the best, why, and what we think of the overall meta in Deadlock. Let’s get right into it!
What Heroes are best in Deadlock right now? Well, to answer that question, we need to better understand the game’s meta, what makes Heroes strong currently in Deadlock, and finally organize those thoughts into a ranking, or tier list.
Below is our current tier list, ranking the best and worst Deadlock Heroes. This was last updated on September 25, 2025.
If you would like to hear more about how this list was formed and the process used to evaluate and rank each Hero, we have a video breakdown going Hero-by-Hero over on our Deadlock YouTube channel, Dead Unlocked.
Otherwise, stay tuned for more Deadlock news, guides, updates, and more here at The Game Haus!
