Deadlock builds for every hero
All Deadlock characters have a build page made from match data, not a guide writer's preference: the items players buy most at each shop tier (800, 1,600, 3,200 and 6,400 souls), the most common skill order, and who they beat or lose to. Tiers come from the Deadlock tier list.
