Valve nerfed Kelvin in the latest Deadlock patch

On September 12, Valve released a patch for the game Deadlock, in which they nerfed the hero Kelvin and changed the mechanics of one of his abilities.

From now on, all objects and units, except heroes, that fall under the effect of Kelvin's ability "Frozen Shelter" will become frozen and invulnerable to any type of attack. This change affects, in particular, buildings, towers, Mid Boss, and the item that drops from it (Rejuvenator). They cannot be attacked until the ability's effect ends.

Additionally, the hero received some nerfs to his other abilities:

• The slow fire rate of "Arctic Beam" was reduced from 80% to 40%.
• The slow movement of "Arctic Beam" was reduced from 80% to 70%.
• "Frozen Trail" and "Arctic Beam" can now be canceled by pressing the ability key again.

The patch notes also affected several other heroes, adjusting some of their stats. Changes were made to certain map elements, buffs, and some bugs were fixed. You can read the full list of changes at the following link: Deadlock changes from 09.12.2024
