Deadlock vs Raze Attack and Defense Performance
39.5%46.5%53.5%60.5%Attack Side Breakdown
Raze significantly outperforms Deadlock on attack side, achieving a 46.5% round win rate versus 39.5%. This 7.0 point disparity reveals Raze as the clearly superior offensive agent in this head-to-head, with advantages that Deadlock cannot easily overcome through individual skill alone.
Based on 24 matches analyzed, Raze dominates attack-side scenarios through multiple vectors. Entry success rate, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all favor Raze significantly. Deadlock teams must make structural adjustments to their attack approach: rely less on Deadlock for key fragging roles, design executes that minimize Deadlock's direct engagement with Raze, and consider how team composition can cover Deadlock's offensive weaknesses. Simply "playing better" isn't enough to overcome a 7.0% gap.
Deadlock should avoid entry fragging roles against Raze whenever possible. The data clearly shows Raze wins a disproportionate share of first contacts on attack. Deadlock players should volunteer for support roles — flashing for teammates, trading entries, or lurking to create map pressure without direct Raze confrontation. If forced to entry, wait for maximum utility support and ensure a trade is guaranteed. Raze can and should take aggressive entries, knowing statistical backing supports confident play.
Post-plant scenarios heavily favor Raze in this matchup. Deadlock struggles to convert spike plants into round wins at the same rate, whether due to weaker defuse denial, inferior retake resistance, or less effective post-plant positioning. Deadlock teams should never leave Deadlock alone in post-plant — always have teammates nearby for crossfires and trades. Consider giving the spike to a different player when possible. Raze should recognize their post-plant dominance and play for spike aggressively after site takes.
Defense Side Breakdown
Raze substantially outclasses Deadlock on defense, achieving 60.5% round wins compared to 53.5%. This 7.0 percentage point gap indicates Raze excels at core defensive tasks — anchoring sites, gathering information, stalling executes, and contributing to retakes — at a level Deadlock cannot match.
Deadlock should never solo anchor against Raze. The 7.0% defensive gap makes isolated site holds extremely unfavorable for Deadlock. Instead, pair Deadlock with a teammate, give them off-site positions that allow early rotates, or have them play supportive roles that don't require extended site holds. Raze should actively anchor difficult sites, knowing their defensive capabilities significantly exceed Deadlock's.
Retake dynamics heavily favor Raze. When Deadlock needs to retake against Raze, success requires overwhelming numbers and utility coordination — never attempt equal-number retakes and absolutely avoid solo retakes. Raze should play post-plant positions confidently, knowing Deadlock struggles to clear them effectively. In clutch scenarios, Raze has a significant statistical edge that Deadlock cannot overcome through individual skill alone.
Economy management becomes critical for Deadlock in this matchup. Force buying against Raze is mathematically unfavorable — the defensive gap compounds when utility is limited. Deadlock should advocate for full saves, ensuring full buy rounds have maximum utility to compensate for their defensive disadvantages. Raze can confidently force buy, knowing their defensive kit provides advantages that partially compensate for economic disadvantages.
Overall Side Analysis
Raze demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (46.5%) and defense (60.5%), comprehensively outperforming Deadlock across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 24 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Raze holding advantages at every stage.
Map selection and team composition cannot fix Deadlock's disadvantage in this matchup. Raze outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Deadlock into Raze, your team composition needs to compensate heavily: strong fragging agents to carry Deadlock's weight, utility-heavy supports to cover their positioning, and coordination to avoid leaving Deadlock in isolated Raze encounters.
For ranked climbing, avoid playing Deadlock when you expect to face Raze frequently. The 14.0 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Raze is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.
Final verdict: Raze decisively wins the Deadlock vs Raze matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Raze has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Deadlock players facing Raze should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.
Sentinel vs Duelist Dynamics
The Sentinel (Deadlock) vs Duelist (Raze) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Deadlock's Sentinel abilities serve different purposes than Raze's Duelist kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.
Understanding how Sentinel abilities interact with Duelist counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Deadlock's Sentinel toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Raze's Duelist kit counters others. The Raze advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
