How Does Deadlock’s MMR System Work?

impasse is gaining popularity. While the game is still in limited testing, it is attracting a community of competitive players with one important question: Does Deadlock have MMR? Let’s find out if Deadlock has MMR to track competitive play and how the Deadlock MMR system might work.

Deadlock has MMR but it’s hiddenThis means that a player’s Matchmaking Ranking (MMR) will affect which matches they enter, but players cannot determine or track their MMR through any statistics. This fact is unfortunate for streamers who claim to be in the ‘top 0.1% lobbies’ as they have no way to back up their claims. Valve has also banned third-party tools like Deadlock Tracker from using gameplay data to determine MMR rankings.

Valve hasn’t publicly stated exactly how the game’s MMR system works. However, the community generally assumes that it is hero-based, meaning that a player will have a separate MMR rank for each hero they play. For example, a player may have a high MMR while playing Seven, but a low MMR while playing Paradox. The game’s Discord developers confirmed that Deadlock’s MMR includes hero-based and lane-based elements. One of the developers on Discord, Yoshi, also explained that the team is planning to rework the MMR system because it “isn’t working very well (at the moment).”
