Viscous Build and Counters in Deadlock

Viscous item build

Items grouped by when they are usually bought, with the share of games where the hero buys them and the win rate with the item.

Viscous ability order

Viscous laning phase

Lanes are 2 on 2. The number is the soul lead of the Viscous duo at 15 minutes against this opponent, below it the lead expected from the strength of both heroes. Only lanes clearly off the expected value are shown, across all ranks.

Viscous counters and synergies

The percentage is the win rate of Viscous against the enemy or together with the teammate. The lists show pairs where it is above or below what the strength of both heroes predicts, so a teammate of a weak hero can show less than 50%. Pairs with at least 100 matches are counted. The average win rate of Viscous is 46.3%, compare the percentages in the lists with it.

Viscous story

The Bermuda Triangle was never a myth, it was a shadowline nexus deep underneath the Atlantic Ocean. For the most part, the things that escaped this astral gate were benign (like Nessie), but now something dark and predatory known only as The Adversary hunts the seas... and ocean denizens are scared to death. One of those inhabitants, a psychic sea anemone, wants to do something about it. Summoning an ectoplasmic goo body to traverse the surface, Viscous is desperately trying to summon the Patrons in order to keep The Deep safe from the horror that lurks below.
