Valve has just released the first Deadlock patch notes of 2025, and they come with some important changes. Both Yamato and a collection of items have been nerfed, so hopefully one of the most overpowered heroes in the game becomes a lot easier to deal with moving forward. Remember that Valve is still actively developing Deadlock, though, so tough heroes like Yamato might be a nightmare now, but the hope is they’ll be consistently tweaked over time.
