One Deadlock Hero is a must-pick in all matches during the Closed Beta

If you are one of the many players participating in the closed beta of Deadlockthen you might be looking for a hero that will make a big impact on the battlefield. And one hero has stood out from the rest as the best in the game: Seven.

As of August 29, Seven has the highest win and play ratio of all agents in Deadlockwith a 56.2 percent win rate and a 90 percent pick rate in online playtests so far, according to Deadlock Tracker. He’s also one of the fastest heroes to level up in the game, and has a huge impact on almost every type of team composition.

He may not have the high KDAs or average kill counts of Warden or Shiv, but he can change the outlook of a teamfight with his powerful ability set. In the early-to-mid game, Seven can slice through waves of minions with his Power Surge ability, which causes his bullets to send electricity over enemies.

Seven also has a powerful stun ability to lock enemies in place, while his Storm Cloud ultimate can tear through multiple enemies with a single button press. While it keeps him in place, he can time this ultimate with his allies’ crowd control to maximize his damage profile in a skirmish.

He can tear a teamfight apart if an opponent is grouped tightly, and can even combine his Power Surge ability with Lightning Ball, adding even more electricity damage to the mix. When timed well, Seven can absolutely decimate a team composition if left unchecked. If a player can position themselves well, he will take over by the time the late game rolls around.

With the right items, Seven can also heal himself at a surprising rate, especially after acquiring Leech as a late-game survival tool. All in all, Seven has found himself at the top of the ladder when it comes to heroes in Deadlock—although Warden is also quickly rising through the ranks in several categories.
