Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. The latest patch isn't a huge overhaul, but it's far from insignificant. A comprehensive changelog is available on the official forums.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, balance adjustments swiftly followed. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability can now destroy objects during its activation.
Existing heroes also received tweaks: Kelvin's health increased (600 to 650), Vendicta's bullet speed reduced (810 to 740), and her movement speed lowered (9 to 8). In total, 11 heroes, including the newcomers, were impacted.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a healthy online player base consistently between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
