Paradox Duos & Synergies
Who works best with Paradox in Deadlock? Best duo partners and worst pairings for Paradox, ranked by win rate together over recent matches.
Paradox wants a follow-up partner who can instantly punish a target ripped out of position. Seven fits that perfectly: when Paradox swaps an enemy carry into your team, Seven's burst and area lockdown lands on a target with no cover and nowhere to run. She creates the isolation, he converts it into a kill before their team can peel. What Paradox brings is the setup nobody else offers, turning a well-placed backliner into an easy target and letting a damage-heavy teammate open fights on your terms.
Paradox wins 46.86% of matches overall (#31 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its best duo is Graves — together they win 53.42%; the weakest pairing is Mirage at 40.42%.
