Posting this to the forums because I REALLY hope a valve developer with some sort of power sees this. I may eventually post a more in-depth rework concept, but there are no shortage of talented Wrecker believers in the forums.
Wrecker was the most exhilarating hero I have played in a video game, ever. His kit (even through all the changes) was the most fun I have ever had online. Whether it was hitting crazy airshots with his boulder or slamming a two-thousand damage astral walk on some poor occultist, Wrecker was by far the best feeling hero in the game. And beyond just the gameplay, his characterization was possibly the most unique in the game. His voice was guttural and gnarly in such an awesome way, and his use of (what I’m assuming is) Ixian was so fun to listen to. His lore was also soooo interesting. One of Deadlock’s biggest strengths lore-wise is all of the branching factions, and all the stories that come with each of them. Wrecker showed us part of the back-end of Fairfax Industries, showing us how they interact with geopolitics through PMCs.
Really, it's just crazy to me that there might be a world where a hero as unique and fun as Wrecker becomes permanently scrapped. And that goes for all of the hero-labs heroes really. I know that in the game files the devs joke about Fathom never really being dead, which gives me great hope that eventually we will see these heroes again. With how huge the game is, maybe there's a chance that the entirety of hero labs can come back? But I feel that might be a little more far-fetched as we reach closer to an open beta. I am here on the forums just BEGGING for the dev team to consider adding Wrecker back. Please.
