Opening word

Hey, this is my first attempt at a Deadlock build, so enjoy responsibly. I was very sad about lady geist's 3 nerfs and that there is not a single build that does anythign aside from the now very weak 3 spam. This build has two variants as explaines in ANNOTATIONS . One variant is the typical 1 3 poke with my own spin on it. Second variant is a carry killer variant that maxes into 2, cause believe it or not, that thing can deal nasty damage.

Poke build skill order

1 3 1 3 2 4 1 1 3 3 2 2 2 4 4 4 (This is the suggested variant)

Carry Killer skill order

1 3 1 3 2 4 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 (This is not the suggested order so keep in mind. It is fine to go with the poke order for convenience but keep in mind max level 2 is a big upgrade)

Lane

Play safe and farm, call for help if your opponent is pushing you a lot. For every section aside from the full Build example buy left to right unless otherwise specified
