110 Million Votes: Nurse Harrow finally enters Deadlock
The grand finale of the hero voting event within Deadlock’s City Never Sleeps update has finally arrived, wrapping up a massive community contest that tested the waters of heroism and player preference. From the crowned Rat King to the highly skilled Nurse Harrow, the results delivered a mix of dedication, surprise, and a little bit of undeniable skill.
Across the board, the event saw a staggering 110 million votes cast, demonstrating the massive engagement within the Deadlock community. While the numbers were immense, the focus quickly narrowed to a few contenders, leading to a fascinating look at what players truly value in the chaotic world of the City.
Among the candidates, Nurse Harrow emerged as the undeniable favorite, despite initial expectations. Only 22,194 players exclusively backed her, but the devotion was exceptional: one dedicated player cast a remarkable 1,000 votes for her, highlighting a level of fan commitment rarely seen in such large-scale community events.
However, the true storyline emerged from the voting patterns themselves. Fans of Nurse Harrow weren’t just voting; they were voting based on demonstrated performance. It turned out that the voters for Nurse Harrow consistently showed a higher win rate across all rounds, suggesting that skill, not just popularity, was driving the decision.
The rivalry for second place was equally dramatic, with the contest between Baba and Solomon taking the lead. While the final choice is subjective, the sheer power demonstrated by Baba—with his incredible mobility and unique ability to turn enemies into pigeons—made him a favorite for many. Interestingly, personal preference also played a role, with some players favoring Solomon, even if they found Baba’s chaotic playstyle irresistible.
Beyond the votes, the event provided a sobering look at active community participation. While the voting numbers were enormous, only about 847 players managed to vote in every single round and select an eventual winner. This suggests that while the community is vast, deep, consistent engagement in these types of events remains a niche pursuit.
Despite the slightly melancholic feeling that the voting has concluded, the event successfully showcased the vibrant and well-orchestrated nature of the Deadlock community. It’s a testament to Valve’s ability to foster massive, engaging experiences, leaving players with exciting memories even as the curtain closes on one epic chapter.
