Calico Counters

Who counters Calico in Deadlock? Heroes Calico is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over recent matches.

Slippery skirmishers who rely on setup fall behind against Calico's mobility. Sinclair, Mina, and Paradox all want to control space and commit to a plan, and Calico refuses to sit still long enough for that plan to land, punishing them the moment they overextend in lane or a fight. The trouble comes against sustained, self-reliant bruisers. Seven, Victor, and Graves can hold ground and trade back, and when Calico can't dictate the pace of a fight she gets ground down. Draft tip: pick her into slower control lanes, avoid her when the enemy already has durable duelists.
