Victor Counters & Counter Picks
Who counters Victor in Deadlock? Heroes Victor is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over recent matches.
Squishier heroes who need space to set up hate the pressure Victor brings. Mina, Sinclair, and Paradox all want time to control a fight on their terms, and Victor denies that by forcing them to react instead of dictate, punishing their positioning before they get value out of it. Seven is the harder matchup because he can trade back at range and threaten the same zones Victor wants to hold, turning it into a fight Victor does not always win. Draft tip: pick Victor into lineups that rely on setup casters, and think twice when the enemy already has Seven anchoring their team.
Victor wins 54.15% of matches overall (#8 of 44 heroes) since the Halloween 2026 Update. Its most favorable matchup is Pocket at 60.27%; Graves is the toughest counter, holding Victor to 46.96%.
