Solo boost fit
In a solo boost the booster plays Silver on your account as a pick-off marksman. Entangling Bola goes out first so the target cannot dash or use movement abilities, then Slam Fire reloads on the spot and gives a limited number of shots bonus fire rate and bonus damage based on the target's current health. The booster also manages the bloodlust meter, because Lycan Curse triggers on its own at full bloodlust and a wolf transformation in the wrong spot puts a close-range fighter in front of the whole enemy team, so fight selection is what keeps this a stable request.
Duo boost notes
In a duo boost you play every game yourself with the booster queued beside you, and Silver's job in that pair is to choose the target. Whoever is on Silver opens with Entangling Bola, which slows the enemy and blocks their dashes and movement abilities, and the other player pours damage into that window. Boot Kick dashes in, kicks off the target and marks them, so the marked enemy is the one you both shoot, and when Lycan Curse activates the partner draws enemy fire while the wolf form stacks fire rate up close.
When to request this hero
Request Silver by name when you want games decided by single-target pick-offs, with Entangling Bola slowing a target and blocking their movement abilities and Slam Fire finishing them, or when the account already has a Silver history you want to keep building. Let the booster pick instead if you have no attachment to Silver, because a Silver forced into wolf form at the wrong moment is a bigger swing than a safer pick.

FAST ANSWERS
Should I request Silver for a Deadlock boost?
Request Silver if you want your climb to come from targeted kills: Entangling Bola stops a target from dashing away, Boot Kick marks them, and Slam Fire delivers a short burst that hits harder the more current health the target has. If you have no strong preference, leave the hero choice to the booster.
Is Silver better for solo or duo boosting?
Silver works in both. In solo the booster runs the whole sequence on your account, from the Bola slow to the wolf transformation, so the games stay tight. In duo she is at her best when the partner follows up on the Entangling Bola slow and the Boot Kick mark, so pick duo if you want to be the one landing those follow-ups on your own account.
What makes Silver different to boost with?
Silver has two kits in one hero. Human form is a spreadshot rifle with reload pressure and Slam Fire bursts, and Lycan Curse swaps that for a werewolf with extra max health, a close-range cone attack with no reload, and fire rate that stacks against enemy heroes. That transformation can also trigger on its own once bloodlust maxes out, so the timing of the wolf form is something the booster has to control rather than just aim.
