Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. The latest patch isn't huge, but it's a significant update, not just a minor adjustment. Detailed patch notes are available on the game's forum.

Four new heroes joined the fray on January 18th, followed swiftly by balance changes. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability can now destroy objects she passes through.
Existing heroes also received adjustments: Kelvin's health increased (600 to 650), Vendicta's bullet speed decreased (810 to 740), and her movement speed reduced (9 to 8). In total, 11 heroes, including the newcomers, saw targeted modifications.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a steady online player base of 7,000 to 20,000 players.
