The time has come, and this is the first of many guides for Deadlock. We will start with Abrams, the real tank, which can ruin anyone’s game. But enough talking, we have made these shortcodes to help you learn more about the builds and the game in general.
Early Game / Laning Stage Items
If Abrams is struggling somewhere, that’s finding it very hard to survive through the landing stage. With that said, you need to be focusing strongly on securing or denying creeps. For example, shoot creeps low enough to melee them, because they are insta-secured and won’t release a soul upon death. As for the items, you should always start with Restorative Shot. If you’re having trouble, then you should buy some Extra Regen. Once you get your ultimate, you can plan a kill or maybe help your friends and surprise some of the other lanes.

Core Items
You should always prioritize Torment Pulse first. After you get it, you can see how strong their lineup is and how to act. When it comes to selling, make sure you sell Restorative Shot or Extra Regen if more space is needed:
Once you dominate your lane (if you manage to do it of course), that means you made yourself space. Then you should farm the neutrals close to their tower, and get the farm that’s on your side of the map too. Buying Melee Charge will allow you to farm them easier. One of the combos you need to focus on is your Ultimate into Charged Melee, into Shoulder Charge, into another Charged Melee, which is pretty much devastating. As for the items:
