Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. The recent patch isn't a huge overhaul, but it's significantly more than a minor adjustment. Detailed patch notes are available on the game's forum.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, balance tweaks were swiftly implemented. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability gains the capacity to destroy objects during its activation.
Existing heroes also received adjustments: Kelvin's health is boosted from 600 to 650, while Vendicta's bullet speed is lowered from 810 to 740, and her movement speed reduced from 9 to 8. In total, 11 heroes, including the new additions, saw targeted modifications.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, maintaining a steady online player base of 7,000 to 20,000 players.
