As Deadlock‘s a multiplayer title that pits players against other players, many naturally want to know where they stand in the global rankings. Valve hasn’t yet put together a ranked leaderboard, so third-party sites were filling the gap with their own MMR systems—until they were allowed to, that is.
Here’s what we know about your MMR in Deadlock and Deadlock Tracker right now.
Can you view your stats and ranking in Deadlock using Deadlock Tracker?
Grinding for that sweet, sweet MMR in multiplayer titles is a major deal for the more competitive players in the game’s community: Where do you fall in the global leaderboard? Unfortunately, there is no way to find your internal MMR right now, as Valve decided to limit the ability of third-party platforms such as Deadlock Tracker to keep count of matches.
Previously, you could find details on the site about your MMR, stats, matches, heroes, and more. However, updates in early September greatly limited the platform’s ability to track individual player data, so while you still can get some useful information about hero and item stats, your personal statistics ceased updating after Sept. 2. Still, you can check the archives for games before that point just like you always could, if that is still of interest to you.
In a Discord message on Sept. 4, the developer of Deadlock Tracker posted this explanation: “Because of even stricter limitations introduced by Valve last night, it’s now nearly impossible to track matches for users. This might be temporary, but it doesn’t seem likely. If these restrictions aren’t lifted, we might not be able to track matches until Open Beta.” At the time of writing, this is the latest information on the tracker’s functionality.
To get a look at your all-time Deadlock stats using Deadlock Tracker, do the following:
- Head to the Deadlock Tracker main website.
- In the top-right, select Login.
- Login via Steam and verify your account.
- Once done, head to the Profile or Ranking tabs to view your stats and DLT Rating.
Your DLT rating will be listed on the right of the screen on your main profile page, plus your total matches played and your rating, which is your MMR in Deadlock. Then, in the matches tab you’ll be able to see each match, your stats posted during any given Deadlock game, and how much DLT Rating you gained or lost for the result.
The ranking tab goes a little more in-depth into each stat and your ranking for each. You’ll see where you stand against your Deadlock peers in objective damage, last hits, total damage, kills, healing, accuracy, overall KDA, win-loss record, and plenty more. The heroes tab will divide these stats based on each hero you’ve recorded a match on.
Why did Valve remove the ability to track Deadlock MMR and is anything official coming soon?
According to a Sept. 2 post on the Deadlock Discord made by a developer, the team is working on a “full rewrite of the [matchmaking system],” adding that the current, hero-based implementation “doesn’t work very well [at the moment].”
With development still being in such an early stage and so many changes still to come, it makes sense that rankings and the systems guiding them are so volatile that Valve would rather not deal with our prying eyes—even if it’s disappointing to see so.
Since Deadlock Tracker isn’t an official site made by Valve, there is no guarantee the DLT rating system introduced will have any bearing on or similarities to the game’s eventual ranked system, and it may not use DLT Rating as a guide for your skill level.
