Despite the initial hype around Deadlock dying down slightly, the game continues to maintain a steady player base, with nearly 100,000 concurrent players at any given time. The developers are actively working on updates, consistently releasing patches. In the latest update, Ivy and Mirage were significantly nerfed.

Ivy's Kudzu Bomb was heavily nerfed: the level three damage was reduced (from +60 to +50), the damage spirit scaling was weakened, and the vertical range of the ability was limited to 2 meters.

For Mirage, the developers used the "nerf hammer" on two abilities. First, Tornado now lifts opponents for 0.1 seconds less. Second, the effect of Djinn's Mark tier one now only applies at a 2x multiplier.

Additionally, the respawn timer was shortened by five seconds, although this will only take effect after the 20th minute of the game. The cooldown on the zipline boost was reduced by one minute, which could also impact gameplay.

Deadlock is still available exclusively through invitations from existing players, and the game is not yet close to a full release state.
