Deadlock September 12 patch notes: Massive Kelvin nerfs, map changes, 24/7 playtest & more

Deadlock receives substantial patches regularly considering it’s in Alpha, and this patch is no different. From a whole host of sweeping changes to the map and in-game menus to dozens of item changes, there’s a lot to take in.

Additionally, Valve have officially announced that they’ve moving matchmaking queues to be 24/7 rather than saddling them with restricted timings. Now, players from any region can play Deadlock whenever they want. This marks a huge milestone in the game and hopefully means it’s closer to a public release.
