Holliday Counters & Counter Picks
Who counters Holliday in Deadlock? Heroes Holliday is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over recent matches.
Squishy, positioning-dependent laners like Sinclair, Mina, and Venator give Holliday exactly what she wants: targets she can pressure and punish before they find their rhythm. She keeps them honest in lane and denies them the free space they need to scale. The trouble starts against sustained bruisers. Seven, Victor, and Graves all out-trade her in a straight fight, shrug off the early aggression, and outlast her once they hit their item spikes. She wants short, decisive fights, not drawn-out brawls. Draft tip: pick Holliday into fragile backline heroes, and avoid her when the enemy lineup leans on tanky, sustain-heavy front-liners.
Holliday wins 47.93% of matches overall (#27 of 44 heroes) since the Halloween 2026 Update. Its most favorable matchup is Mirage at 54.07%; Graves is the toughest counter, holding Holliday to 41.38%.
