Foot notes
This character is built around a stealthy play style. He is designed to go behind the enemy lines to steal farms and gather information for his team, if your fighting against a good Hat Man you will probably never see him after laning phase. While your farming hes placing his bomb under your walker and setting up for his opponents to push, while your fighting hes in your jungle stealing your farms and setting up cameras to monitor your every move. He isnt designed to participate in team fights or even get solo picks, hes a disruptor who supports his team via information and set ups. I think deadlock needs inherently stealth based characters in its roster, much like tf2 with the spy I think deadlock could execute a stealth character in an online pvp game even better than that with all the additional objectives and complexities the game has.

or more extreme, he could have a very weak but faster heavy melee (idk if its fair vs graves)
