Deadlock may be getting another neutral map objective, and if the rumors are accurate, it could significantly change how the jungle feels and operates. Even as a rumor, this lines up with what many players feel the game currently needs most.

The Replicator is believed to be a new neutral objective similar in concept to Tormentor in Dota, according to a Deadlock leaker named Ghostwriter.
Deadlock currently features key map elements like mid boss, urn, and jungle camps, but another objective could add more strategic depth and force additional team fights.
Earlier in development, a separate objective concept called Vanguard was also rumored, suggesting this is something Valve has been experimenting with for a while.
