Deadlock Rankings Top Occultists of the Aurora Deadlock Masters Tournament

The Deadlock tier list is evolving regularly based on discovered builds, player statistics, and their skill levels. However, there’s a current tier list you can rely on: the Aurora Deadlock Masters tier list.

Despite the surging number of Deadlock players, this is the first tournament approaching Deadlock’s highest competitive scene. Surprisingly, Dynamo leads with a ban in every game. The top six occultists following him are Kelvin, Abrams, Viscous, Shiv, Mo & Krill, and Vindicta.

This tier list is based on the win rates of the occultists and their presence in the pick & ban phases of the competition. The tournament consists of many top players, but like the early days of League of Legends, many are “OTP” (One-Trick Ponies, meaning they mostly play just one champion in their competitive games). Therefore, it’s essential to take this tier list with a grain of salt as picks and bans heavily rely on team strategies.
