McGinnis Synergy & Best Duos
Who works best with McGinnis in Deadlock? Best duo partners and worst pairings for McGinnis, ranked by win rate together over recent matches.
McGinnis wants partners who capitalize on the ground she controls. Once she walls off an area and pins enemies in place, Seven thrives, landing chained damage on targets who can't scatter and cashing in on grouped fights. The turrets and wall create a killbox, and Seven turns that held space into eliminations. What McGinnis brings is zoning and structure, so a strong follow-up carry gets clean lines and safe positioning to unload without being dived first.
McGinnis wins 50.91% of matches overall (#17 of 44 heroes) since the Halloween 2026 Update. Its best duo is Graves — together they win 60.25%; the weakest pairing is Mirage at 45.19%.
