One of the interesting aspects of Deadlock’s closed beta phase is the absence of obligations for Valve (the developers) to maintain any stability in the meta across gaming sessions. This scenario has a noteworthy effect on Silver, the latest hero introduced into the game.

Players, including myself, have invested time into mastering her because of her cool design. However, with the game’s matchmaking system, where players must filter through a myriad of heroes, competing for her position has proven quite difficult.

Key Takeaways:

• Silver has a peculiar gun, aptly named Hair of the Dog, which is best utilized with her Slam Fire ability.
• The ability known as ultimate is effective but has undergone modifications, lengthening its cooldown period and reducing its effectiveness early in the game.
• Post-update, Silver’s gun has improved with a higher fire rate and an upgraded magazine capacity, making her a more formidable opponent in lanes.

The latest update to her abilities has stirred controversy: while the base performance of Silver has improved, her transformation into a werewolf has suffered due to reduced health bonuses and increased cooldown times. This means players must rethink strategies to master her gameplay once more.

Valve’s rapid changes in balance adjustments indicate that players like myself need to constantly adapt. Other heroes like Graves and Bebop have also received their share of tweaks in the most recent patch.

As gamers, we can only anticipate further adjustments to the hero lineup as the developers track player behavior and preferences.
