How listings work
For the "Who plays …" lists we cap at 10 people. Streamers need meaningful recent match history on that hero, but the list is not limited to strict top-four mains. We rank by a score that favors hero match volume first, then recent play, then how close that hero is to the streamer's most-played heroes, so a substantial specialist can beat a tiny one-day sample.
We sometimes highlight streamers we work with ahead of others on hero pages when it makes sense for the directory. Everyone else is ordered using match data we pull from third parties (see Deadlock API)—coverage isn't perfect. Live channels are sorted by viewer count.
Hero pages may show YouTube videos we feature ahead of a channel's latest uploads. We mark those clips Sponsored in the carousel; they may involve payment or other business arrangements.
If we don't have recent uploads for that hero's configured channel, we may show a small set of general featured clips so the carousel still has something to scroll — not every tile is hero-specific in that case.
When admins add streamers, they may use Statlocker public profile data (e.g. Twitch username linked on a Steam profile there) only as a time-saving hint. Each addition is reviewed in the dashboard before it is saved; we still resolve and verify accounts via Twitch and our normal linking rules.
Hero pages may show fan art sourced from r/DeadlockTheGame (posts tagged Fan Art). Each image links directly to the original Reddit post and credits the author. Copyright remains with the artist. If you are the artist and would like your work removed, contact us at DeadlockDirect@protonmail.com.
