At the start of each round in ''[[Deadlock]]'', players are assigned to 1 of 4 lanes using a 1-2-2-1 format (left to right), where "1" indicates a solo lane and "2" indicates a duo lane. Players are randomly placed, but duo parties are more likely to be queued into the same lane.

Support-centric characters like [[Ivy]] or [[Dynamo]] perform best in duo lanes with a high-DPS counterpart. Self-reliant characters with sustain or poke abilities, like [[Shiv]], are better suited for solo lanes (Park and York, or Pink and Yellow lanes). The random placement seems to account for this, though the exact mechanism is unclear.
