One of Deadlock\u2019s most popular characters also has the lowest win rate ValveDeadlock stats have revealed that one of the highest pick rate characters also has the game\u2019s lowest win rate, with her struggling to win matches. But is this because she\u2019s bad? Valve\u2019s new MOBA shooter isn\u2019t even fully available yet, but Deadlock already has a sizeable and dedicated player base. Those lucky enough to have access have largely positive feedback, praising its gameplay, characters, and more. One of the most popular characters so far is Vindicta, a long-range specialist whose backstory ties her to the Salem Witch Trials and the supernatural. According to Tracklock, Vindicta currently has the third-highest pick rate at 85.64%, putting her behind only Seven (91.38%) and Haze (87.44%). However, players have discovered that she also has the lowest win rate of all heroes in the game right now. While this certainly looks bad for Vindicta, commenters responding to the Reddit post can explain why she appears to be struggling. \u201cVindicta is just a victim of being very popular,\u201d said one commenter, adding \u201cgood players with good aim absolutely dominate with her.\u201d Given that Vindicta\u2019s abilities are so reliant on the player\u2019s skill level \u2013 our own tier list even says \u201cVindicta would be in C-Tier if it weren\u2019t for one thing: Her ultimate\u201d \u2013 it makes sense that her high pick rate would work against her in such a major way. She\u2019s marked as an easy character, but Vindicta is anything but. The way her ultimate works is, when Vindicta gets a kill with her sniper, she gets bonus Souls. And, when you max that ability out early, she gets 850 souls per Assassinate kill. If you snowball early, she can roll through games, but playing this way is a huge gamble and requires pinpoint accuracy. On top of that, another user added that she\u2019s \u201cthe squishiest character in the game so it\u2019s very easy to farm inexperienced vindicta players.\u201d This is far from the first time this has happened to a popular character in a competitive game. Other commenters compared Vindicta\u2019s situation to that of Dota 2\u2018s Shadow Fiend or League of Legends\u2018 Yasuo. Fortunately for Vindicta fans, it\u2019s still early days for Deadlock. The devs are already introducing balancing adjustments in updates like the August 29 patch, so future changes could make her more powerful or easier to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
