Haze is a strong S tier pick in the current Deadlock meta, running a 53.3% win rate and a 3.7% pick rate across 680,879 tracked matches this patch. Haze's role leans sneaks in and sprays bullets, which shapes every item choice, ability upgrade and lane partner on this page. When Haze fixates on a target she can hold her own in a firefight. She prefers to create one sided exchanges, avoiding damage then picking off unsuspecting targets up close. Haze averages 8.4 kills, 6.5 deaths and 9.7 assists per match, so every stat, counter and item build below is pulled directly from ranked matches and refreshed every 15 minutes.
The highest win rate Haze players open with Fixation, Fixation, and Sleep Dagger, and that ability priority wins 75.6% of 12,853 tracked games. Early points into that path front load Haze's strongest spike and lets you snowball through the laning phase instead of stalling into mid game.
Across tracked games Haze finishes on an average 44,003 net worth with a 2.77 KDA. That number tells you when Haze actually spikes: every item tier and ability upgrade on this page is ordered so the strongest win rate path lines up with that economy. Haze deals around 38,618 hero damage per match, so the build path below prioritises items that scale into that damage profile rather than pure survivability.
The highest win rate build path on Haze right now runs Mystic Expansion (tier 1, 56.9% WR), Duration Extender (tier 2, 61.1% WR), Majestic Leap (tier 3, 62.9% WR), and Phantom Strike (tier 4, 69.8% WR). These picks carry the strongest individual win rates in their tier bracket across ranked matches, so stacking them in order gives you the cleanest data backed route. If your early game snowballs you can flex into offensive tier 3 and tier 4 items, otherwise the defensive options listed in the items tab hold the lead instead of forcing it.
Haze is holding a 53.3% win rate this patch and ranks in the S tier across the full hero pool. Over the last few weeks that number has moved up by about 1.6 percentage points, a signal that the pick is trending into the meta. That puts Haze firmly in the meta conversation this patch, and makes it a priority ban target above Diamond rank.
Haze loses lane weight against Calico (-1.8% win rate delta), Vyper (-0.9% win rate delta), and Pocket (-0.9% win rate delta). These aren't feelings, they are negative win rate deltas drawn from ranked matches with at least 50 head to head samples. When any of these show up on the enemy team, lean on the synergy picks listed below and delay your power spike items so you can survive the bad matchup into mid game.
Haze pairs strongest with Seven (+4.7% win rate delta) and Infernus (+4.3% win rate delta). Both partners cover holes in Haze's kit that the worst matchups above exploit, which is why the duo win rates stay well above the hero's solo baseline. If you're queueing with a friend, these are the safest picks to lock alongside Haze.
