Right now, there are 4 characters left in Hero Labs. I'm sure more will be added next major update, and maybe Magician and Vyper will return to Labs, but right now the gamemode is basically dead. If you don't get one of the 4 Lab characters, then you're playing base Deadlock with some characters with balancing issues (which is basically the default Deadlock mode rn). I do understand that this is the point of the gamemode: to test these characters to see how well they play in an average Deadlock game, but is it worth using Hero Labs to try experimenting with the current main cast of Deadlock to try some more radical changes that won't affect the default mode?
This could be things like the old idea for a Shiv transformation ult, or perhaps a shotgun weapon for Lash. If any Labs ideas don't work, they can be scrapped completely. If they do work better then the original ability/weapon, then they could be added to the main gamemode.
I don't think things like item/map changes exclusive to Labs would work, since it could make it difficult to balance changes from Labs to the main gamemode.
