All hero's abilities are menus that have a set of abilities that the player must choose to assign their ability. The hero may alt-cast any of the assigned abilities to return to the ability menu to reassign a new ability.
For example:
1 - Ability 1 Menu
Using 1 will open the ability 1 menu which has a different set of abilities to assign:
Ability 1 Menu:
1 - Flash bang
2 - High Explosive grenade
3 - Smoke grenade
4 - Incendairy grenade
2 - Ability 2 Menu
...
This type of hero has access to 16 different abilities, excluding the menus, however, generally they may only be using 4-8 different abilities, unless each ability ends up being super useful/niche like Invoker but in my mind the build would either be support-oriented or damage oriented or a hybrid.
Of course, you could always simplify this by assiging the menus to one ability.
Originally in my inspiration for this hero, he would have been able to assign abilities based on the heroes in the game/lane but unfortunately due to the lack of ability keys, it seemed more unfeasible (although you could use indexes for abilities...)
Thanks for reading guys. Having a lot of fun with Deadlock! #vote4venator
