Some kind of wallcrawler please

It'd be cool to fight someone (or something) on the walls, and it'd be cool to be the one fighting from the walls.
I really love the idea of getting weird angles and outmaneuvering and a wallcrawling character would really play well into the dimensionality of Deadlock.
Might seem kind of strong to be able to do that but there's not much cover up on the walls, and with the way dashes currently work the only dodge you'd have would take you off the wall.
Controls I imagine would be kind of like wall-jumping except instead of jumping off the wall you jump on and can move around up there

1000% agree. This is one of the most interesting proposed mechanics ive heard of. God would this be so cool!!

so like:

3 - highclimb - passively, input a movement command when performing a wall jump to gain bonus movement speed and walk on the wall for a duration instead of jumping off.

cooldown - 18s

duration - 3.5s

movespeed - +3 m/s

upgrades

1 - gain +1 m/s per enemy hero you pass by, give the speed buff to allies you pass by for 2s

2 - +4s duration

5 - +300% headshot damage during highclimb

Maybe a character that could shift their gravity. The only problem I see with this is having to go around and making sure all surface geometry is correct, but I imagine that's pretty much a one-time-thing.

Gravity shift as an ult would be WILD.

Seeing how this character would probably be very mobile you could make it a dedicated hero with high damage single shot fire, like a sniper healer mix
