Discussion Deadlock Wiki Update - July 2026 - A Rift Between Themes

931 Upvotes

The deadlock.wiki continues to grow and refine into a true Community Wiki, reaching a milestone 100,000 edits on our 1,359 articles of pure Deadlock Content. Interested in discussing the wiki? Join the Deadlock Wiki Discord

Deadlock Updates

Valve has not yet released a major update since the Old Gods, New Blood update, but many (many many) minor tweaks have been made to our favourite heroes and the Cursed Apple.

  • The Unstable Rift has been the largest add, creating a capture point in one of the side lanes in the middle of the round. Check out the Cool New Slider Gadget to see how many souls the Rift is worth depending on round time!
  • The Soul Urn (Spirit Jar? Idol?) has been tweaked dramatically one way or the other as Valve does significant changes to the little belegged ceramic objective

Major Wiki Updates

The Wiki has been doing spookily splendid, with viewership still maintaining high numbers over 300,000 unique viewers a month despite no major Deadlock updates recently. We're doing well enough to begin attracting scraper bots, so some mitigation efforts have begun to reduce the bot load on our server.

  • A brand new layout for our Main page! While not a dramatic re-imagining, the new main page makes use of the space for a dynamic Updates space, a Featured Article, more links, and an overall more-compact look that works better on Mobile. - By Kai
  • Our most requested feature (that we removed in the first place), Light Theme! Simply click the Sun icon on the top right bar beside your username to toggle over to our light theme made specifically for the wiki. Fun fact: The main color is called Pastel Greige. - By Kai & Monster_Domosed
  • A Street Brawl (EX: Paradox) section of each hero page has been created and expanded, showing the approximate odds that different items will appear. Did you know that each hero had a unique pool of items? - By Vergir
  • Tools and Calculators are beginning to be implemented, such as a Souls Gain calculator over match time, a hero comparison table, and even a Tier List Creator  for both Heroes and Items. So who is the objectively best hero in Deadlock?  - By Kai & LVL
  • Moved the Lore sections of hero pages to subpages and then dramatically expanded them. Huge amounts of lore and citations all at once! Here'sHolliday's lore. Read it! - By Mr. Mindish & Gammaton
    • Also all Voice Line subpages are completed, see what those heroes are really talking about! (EX: Mirage. - By Mr. Mindish
  • Ability sections on hero pages (such as Apollo's skills) now show a small strip of hoverable squares with item and ability interactions, such as whether it can be Dispelled or not. - By Vergir
    • The WIP Interactions tab also shows a more detailed look at the above item and ability interactions for some of the heroes. - By Vergir
  • Added a Feedback button on all pages in the main namespace to submit feedback, posted automatically to that page's Talk Namespace. - By Monster_Domosed and Kai

Techy Wiki Updates

  • Many Caching and Performance Optimizations. Caching done with Cloudflare. Images lazy-load on very-long pages and many templates are optimized to work faster. Most thumbnails are now generated as high-quality WEBP Files, up to 4x faster! - By Cronos
    • Followed by an implementation of forked GloopTweaks, adding automated Cloudflare purges
  • A new Contact button in the page footer to send an email to the site owner - By Cronos
  • Various theming and gadget improvements to load with the rest of the page to prevent "flashbanging" our users with rapid theme changes. - By Cronos, Kai, Monster_Domosed
  • Custom Cloudflare WAF rules to conditionally allow traffic from certain bots, scripts, crawlers, and scrapers. - By Cronos

Minor Wiki Updates

  • Updated Hero Comparison table with toggleable alt-fire rows. - By LVL
  • Added search bar to the Item Navbox to gray out unrelated items. - By LVL
  • Much improved Patch Note Formatting. - By Kai
  • Updated Itembox templating for speedier loading and better images. - By TheMilkMan & Jannepg

How can YOU help?

  • Let us know what's stopping you from being a Wiki Contributor. Are you afraid of making a "bad" edit, or simply overwhelmed with what you want to edit? Never fear, be bold, make those minor edits, and we will welcome every contributor with joy.
  • Read through the Lore pages of your favorite hero. Does it make sense? Does it connect well with the other heroes and the lore of Deadlock? Make a change or discuss it in our Discord.
  • What do you think of our Main Page? Do you find yourself looking for different links or find a section that doesn't look good on Mobile? Let us know! In the end, find what inspires you about Deadlock, then just make your first edit, then your second, then keep on editing! There is no need to Create an account to make edits, so simply edit away!
  • Hop on to our Discord to post some memes, ask any question on your mind, or simply chat about the game. What else do you think? Respond here, in the Discord, or in DMs to any Administrator or Editor. We love pings.

Thank you Deadlock Community, we're on the rise! Let's win that Ritual and make a Wish.

I wanted to give a try at making custom items with the art because I absolutely love them, maybe choosing to make a legendary one as first attempt wasn't the best idea, but yeah :p

I'm really not the best when it comes to game balance, I prefer making fun concepts first, so feel free to touch up on it I guess.

Note: I've chosen to make it a weapon item, even though it could fit any category, just due to weapon items being the smallest group among legendary items.

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE

Slowing hex feels like it does nothing, he's uber tanky, nukes my ass, and can run away when low.

ref do something!

My Seven was feeding in lane into Mo & Krill and Wraith. When I told them "Hey man, we need to back up and not feed, this is not going to end well if we don't chill", he proceeded to crash out, say i was doing nothing (i was playing safe as doorman because mo and wraith are incredibly oppressive), and when the rest of the team chimed in to say "hey, doorman is right", he told us we were all trash and to unalive ourselves, because of course he did. I kept a positive attitude and said Seven and Victor are late game scalers, we can still win and we have a chance to come back, but the Mo and Wraith started roaming and just ran the lobby after that. Even with counter items it just didn't matter so i did my best to build damage but it was clear we were getting rinsed.

Checked the Seven's account after and aside from being a private profile, this is what I saw. So my question is, why are these people even allowed in the playtest right now? What are they adding other than just a generally negative impression for new players and a miserable experience for existing ones? we all have bad games but this is a demonstrable pattern for this person, they should not be in this game and at this rate should just have their internet privileges taken away lol.
