Silver — Deadlock Win Rate, Counters & Synergies
Silver in Deadlock: win rate, pick rate, top counters and best teammates, from Batru's recent-match pipeline.
Silver counters & matchups
Getting a jump on squishier setup heroes is where Silver shines. Sinclair, Mina, and Paradox all want space to line up their control and burst, and Silver pressures them before they settle, punishing anyone caught out of position or mid-cast. The trouble comes against durable, self-sufficient duelists. Seven, Graves, and Victor can take a hit and answer back with their own sustained output, so trading straight up favors them and leaves Silver short. Silver wants clean picks, not extended slugfests against tanky front-liners. Draft tip: pick Silver into a squishy, positioning-dependent enemy lineup and avoid it when they field bulky, self-reliant fighters.

Silver synergies
A follow-up partner who capitalizes on a target that is already pinned or panicking is the ideal fit. Seven pairs well because Silver forces the enemy to commit or reposition, and Seven's wide area threat catches them wherever they scatter. Silver's early lane pressure also buys tempo for Victor or Graves to hit their spikes and take over teamfights. What Silver brings is initiation and the willingness to make the first move, opening the fight so a heavier damage partner can close it out.
