My predictions for the coming deadlock heroes

With the brand new Deadlock update, “City Never Sleeps” brings 6 new heroes that can be played. Just like the last set of new heroes there is a voting system where the players vote on which hero is realeased next. Though the Rat King has already made his appearence, here are what I think with be the concepts for the other 5 heroes yet to be released. First of Baba. Based on her design as a witch, and the “Hexing” key word that Valve has decided to give her, I think she will be a debuffing support similar to other MOBA heroes such as Shadow Shaman from Dota 2. She will most likly have some sort of hard crowd control effect that may even be able to effect multiple heroes, similar to Sinclairs rabbit, or Paiges root. Having to do with the lore for Baba, I think that she is the one witch that turned Billy’s head into a goat’s, I think this is true becasue when you vote for Baba in the begining of a match she talks as if she knows billy on a personal level. For that reason, and that she is a witch, I beleive she is the one responsible. Next is Deadman Danny, I beleive he will be an M1 carry that will have a simialr ability to Lash’s grapple, but a jetpack. A burst of vertical momentum and a possible hover in mid air. Valve has been implementing more and more gun heroes and since they just nerfed the gun Lash build I think that Deadman Danny with takeover the spot of movement M1 carry. Solomon is a very intersting hero becasue I cant find anything that would hint at any of his abilities. He has the obvious chess theme but I dont think that gives you an idea of what his abilities would actually do. Its possible that they would be different functions of the chess peices that would be cool. It has been going around in the community that Violets ultamite will be a summon, or a transformation into one of her paintings, I have heard both stories. I think that a summon would be cooler and add more to the game than a simple transformation, but either way I am excited for her realase. Lastly is Nurse Harrow, I think she will be a support and have the classic damage/heal gun where you can shoot your allies to heal them, much like Anna from Overwatch. I’ve heard that her ultamite will be able to revive an ally that had recently died. I dont think this is a very good idea, it would throw the whole game our of whack, but I bet valve can find a way to make it balenced.
