Valve has returned from the New Year holidays, and game developers are rolling out fresh patches across various titles. Deadlock, which recently shifted from its bi-weekly update schedule, surprised us with a modest patch to kick off the year.
The latest update focused solely on one hero, Yamato, who received a slight nerf. This included a reduction in damage scaling and a decreased attack speed bonus at the first level of Shadow Transformation. Additionally, abilities like Frenzy, Berserker, and Restorative Shot were weakened, while Alchemical Fire saw a minor rework.

Given the size of this patch, it's probable that we'll need to wait a bit longer for a more substantial update. However, predicting when that might happen remains challenging at this stage.
It's important to highlight that Deadlock has experienced a notable decline in its player base recently. This drop might be attributed to the current popularity of Marvel Rivals among players. Despite being in deep beta, maintaining a steady player count between 7,000 and 19,000 is a respectable achievement for Deadlock. It's also worth mentioning that Valve has not yet released any information regarding potential release dates or the game's monetization model.
