Holliday is a situational C tier pick in the current Deadlock meta, running a 47.0% win rate and a 1.9% pick rate across 299,525 tracked matches this patch. Holliday's role leans bounces about dispensing trick shots, which shapes every item choice, ability upgrade and lane partner on this page. Holliday depends on her skills as a crack shot, shooting things she's bounced into the air. With good aim she can lay out heavy damage. Her movement skills let her isolate her enemies or beat a hasty retreat. Holliday averages 6.9 kills, 6.3 deaths and 14.1 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 Holliday players open with Powder Keg, Powder Keg, and Crackshot, and that ability priority wins 63.0% of 7,967 tracked games. Early points into that path front load Holliday's strongest spike and lets you snowball through the laning phase instead of stalling into mid game.
Across tracked games Holliday finishes on an average 41,999 net worth with a 3.36 KDA. That number tells you when Holliday actually spikes: every item tier and ability upgrade on this page is ordered so the strongest win rate path lines up with that economy. Holliday deals around 34,525 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 Holliday right now runs Spirit Strike (tier 1, 49.1% WR), Spirit Lifesteal (tier 2, 52.1% WR), Berserker (tier 3, 53.0% WR), and Magic Carpet (tier 4, 58.9% 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.
Holliday is holding a 47.0% win rate this patch and ranks in the C tier across the full hero pool. Over the last few weeks that number has moved up by about 2.4 percentage points, a signal that the pick is trending into the meta. Holliday is currently below the ranked average, so picking Holliday demands a team comp that covers the weaknesses listed in the matchups tab.
Holliday loses lane weight against Kelvin (-1.9% win rate delta), Lash (-1.4% win rate delta), and Vyper (-1.4% 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.
Holliday pairs strongest with Graves (+2.0% win rate delta) and Seven (+1.7% win rate delta). Both partners cover holes in Holliday'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 Holliday.
