Valve is switching up the soul sharing rules for Deadlock with the latest update, and it’s expected to solve some issues that players have been facing since the last major update of the MOBA.
For the uninitiated, the November 7 Deadlock update brought with it a plethora of new changes to the game. Not only did it introduce the new hero Trapper to Deadlock, but it also altered the ongoing meta of the hero shooter by changing the soul sharing rules after the end of the laning phase.
While the update to the soul sharing rules was generally appreciated by the community, it also raised concerns for many players as the new rules hindered the comeback potential for teams that were falling behind.
Luckily, the devs seem to have taken note of the community’s feedback as Valve has swiftly addressed this issue with today’s Deadlock update. The new Deadlock patch changes the soul sharing rules once again to prevent teams from snowballing games with little to no room for counterplay, while also introducing a bunch of minor nerfs to Yamato.
