As a long-time Valorant gamer, I’ve been surprised by the sudden popularity of Deadlock. Ever since she debuted on console, I’ve been using her, but it seems like now everyone is rushing to pick her during matchmaking games. It’s as if Deadlock transformed from the shy wallflower at a party into the main attraction—an incredible transformation indeed.
From the comments on the post, it appears that Deadlock has received some buffs in previous patches, while other sentinels have been toned down. This could be the reason behind this surge of interest. Sharkchase pointed out, “She’s been given a bit of a buff recently, and other sentinels have been nerfed slightly,” shedding light on an essential aspect of gaming meta dynamics.
