It's easy to forget that Deadlock is still in its infancy—maybe because Valve spent several months denying its existence before unleashing it in an invite-only form last August. But the developer is still toiling away at creating the MOBA alongside the community, and this week has seen a pretty major update: an overhaul to the dashboard and character select screen, and six new heroes being drip fed over the next two weeks. Oh, and the community gets to decide who comes when.
The first one has already been decided by Valve, with vampire Mina releasing alongside the August 18 update. She's described as "a glass cannon that delivers quick bursts of Spirit damage at range with her passive, Love Bites." And in classic vampire fashion, she can transform into a bat and scurry off when things start looking a little dicey. Her ultimate Nox Nostra "unleashes a massive swarm of bats that hunt down and silence nearby enemies." Pretty neat.
