Customizable and BIGGER hideouts

[Roadhog]

Hideouts are a really fun feature - beating your friends up while waiting for queue is fun
What would make it even better is making hideouts BIGGER - adding for instance different "zones" / areas:

• a parkour area
• a melee/sparring area
• some kind of goals so you can punch a ball into them and score points
• more hiding spots so you can actually play hide and seek properly (with rem and calico for instance)

And adding hideout customization - currently when you join someone’s hideout you aren't actually joining THEIR hideout, but just the "hideout". I feel like each person's hideout having a "personality" would actually make it feel like you're hanging out at his place (hideout) and not just any place.

hideout customization is probably one of the coolest parts about path of exile. If it comes to deadlock that would be amazing.

I'd imagine, or at least hope, there will be trophies and things to display in the hideout as you complete milestones in deadlock.

I was thinking more of putting a couch in a different spot - however having trophies and other unlockables being displayed in your hideout would be great too

I’ve always felt like the original Hideout was meant to connect directly to the core lore of why we’re even playing a match of Deadlock.
Imagine a cinematic where six individuals arrive at the Hideout, each pledging themselves to the same Patron in order to oppose the rival Patron. Some emerge quietly from the shadows. Others are already there, waiting then maybe seated on the couch like they’ve done this before.

There’s tension, but also purpose. They all understand the deal.

Once the full team of six has assembled, the camera slowly pushes in toward the oracle’s ball sitting in the Hideout. Inside it, we see the familiar “Play” button. As it’s pressed, the view transitions into an ongoing Deadlock match.

But here’s the twist ... what we’re watching isn’t just a game. It’s one version of a Deadlock battle that has actually played out across countless universes. Every match is canon. Every variation is just another timeline where the Patrons wage their war through chosen champions.
It would be such a strong way to tie gameplay directly into the lore.

To add to the original post -- maybe dont change anything about the current hideout, but give us the option to visit your sanctuary, or your own base instead.
