About these notes
Each patch here is one Valve posted on Steam, quoted in full with a link to the original. Some patches only went up on the Deadlock forum, and big updates sometimes put their notes on the game's own site, so a few are missing. For the City Never Sleeps update and its six new heroes, see the update page.
For how every hero is doing right now, see the tier list; for items, the item tier list.
