The rollout of Deadlock's Old Gods, New Blood has come to an end, and the final hero of the player-voted rollout, Apollo, is upon us at last. Valve's taken the occasion to share some stats on the event, including a few big numbers from the hero vote – and the fact that one very devoted Celeste fan dedicated an ungodly amount of hours to voting.

Old Gods, New Blood introduced six new heroes, each released a few days apart in an order voted on by fans. Players earn votes by playing matches, with four extra votes awarded for the first win of each day. In a Steam post, Valve says that a total of 60,776,963 votes were cast over the course of the event.
