Best Deadlock Heroes Right Now: Seven, Victor, Graves, And The June 2026 Tracker Split
Mobalytics and Tracklock both point to Seven as the cleanest current top answer, but the next tier shifts by source. Treat this as a June 16 tracker snapshot, not a permanent law of the lane.
The best hero answer is strongest when it comes with the date stamped on it.
The best Deadlock heroes right now are not a single sacred list. On June 16, 2026, the cleanest tracker answer was Seven: Mobalytics had Seven first at 56.9% win rate and 52.1% pick rate, while Tracklock had Seven at S+ with 55.90% win rate and 47.08% pick rate.
That is the headline. The caution is just as important. These are third-party tracker snapshots checked after Valve’s Minor Update – 06-11-2026, not official Valve tiering. Deadlock changes quickly, and the numbers can move when a patch, queue filter, rank filter, or sample window shifts.
How The Trackers Build The Picture
Mobalytics says its hero list is built from collected matches and uses a 7-day timeout cycle because Deadlock is patched quickly. It also warns that its public data does not have a clean skill-level structure, so the page is best read as a theorycrafting snapshot rather than a perfect answer for every MMR.
Tracklock frames its hero tier list around the newest patch, standard game mode, and filters for position, rank, and date range. That makes it useful for current meta checks, but it is still sampled tracker data, not a direct Valve balance sheet.
The June 16 Top Group
| Hero | Mobalytics snapshot | Tracklock snapshot | Read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seven | #1, 56.9% win rate, 52.1% pick rate | S+, 55.90% win rate, 47.08% pick rate | The clearest cross-tracker top pick. |
| Victor | #2, 54.5% win rate, 36.8% pick rate | S+, 53.11% win rate, 34.09% pick rate | Still near the top even when the exact order changes. |
| Graves | #3, 54.1% win rate, 30.8% pick rate | A, 52.44% win rate, 24.94% pick rate | High value, especially in teamfight-heavy reads. |
| McGinnis | #4, 53.7% win rate, 19.3% pick rate | A, 53.58% win rate, 17.25% pick rate | One of the strongest non-Seven agreement points. |
| Kelvin | #5, 53.0% win rate, 16.8% pick rate | A, 52.64% win rate, 16.85% pick rate | Stable across both pages and easy to underrate. |
| Ivy | #6, 53.0% win rate, 29.5% pick rate | A, 52.46% win rate, 29.35% pick rate | Strong sample agreement with a healthier pick rate. |
| Calico | #7, 52.2% win rate, 30.5% pick rate | S, 52.16% win rate, 41.16% pick rate | Tracklock rates the tier higher, but both pages keep her positive. |
| Billy | #8, 52.0% win rate, 40.1% pick rate | S, 52.04% win rate, 38.88% pick rate | A high-pick-rate brawler still sitting above the line. |
Why Seven Is The Easy Headline
The data answer and the gameplay answer point the same way. Mobalytics’ expert tier list highlights Seven’s value in messy teamfights, his large AoE pressure, and the way Lightning Ball plus Storm Cloud can turn Urn fights into a very loud weather report. That lines up cleanly with a tracker picture where Seven is both winning and being picked heavily.
That does not mean Seven is the only hero worth playing. It means Seven is the safest “best hero right now” answer if you need one name on June 16. Victor, Graves, McGinnis, Kelvin, Ivy, Calico, and Billy are the practical next group. Haze, Abrams, Dynamo, Doorman, Lash, and Yamato are close enough that rank filters can change the conversation fast.
How To Use This Without Throwing Your Draft
If you are picking for ladder, start with the overlap, not the exact order. Seven is the cross-tracker headline. McGinnis, Kelvin, Ivy, Calico, and Billy have enough agreement to be comfortable. Victor and Graves stay important even when Tracklock’s ordering pulls them below Mobalytics’ top three.
If you are picking for a team, do not draft a spreadsheet. Draft a job. Seven gives AoE fight control. Victor gives durability and pressure. Graves gives denial and disruption. McGinnis gives structure. Kelvin gives protection and objective control. Ivy gives team movement and brawl support. Calico gives slipperiness. Billy gives initiation and melee pressure. The best hero is still the one your lineup can actually use.
