The game Deadlock has taken an important turn after the recent update Old Gods, New Blood, which introduces six new characters to the gameplay world, with the choice of the first determined by the community. The choice fell on an unexpected ally: Rem, a support character who promises to revolutionize the game’s dynamics.
A character with a most peculiar identity
According to the official announcement, Rem is an accidental stowaway from the dream world, lost in the city that never sleeps. This new character stands out for his unique abilities, which include the ability to induce sleep in his enemies and support his teammates. His main ability, Pillow Toss, acts as a projectile with strong recoil and deals 75 points of damage, in addition to reducing the target’s movement speed by 45%.
Additionally, Rem has Tag Along, an ability that allows him to jump alongside an ally and heal them while taking a quick nap. This move can restore up to 15% health in an instant and provide 28 health per second during a rest period. His Lil Helpers ability also allows him to summon mini-allies that will assist in various tasks, granting significant bonuses to players who receive their support.
However, it is her ultimate ability, Naptime, that could alter the balance of the game. This ability launches an area attack that puts enemies to sleep, slows their movement, and prevents them from using movement abilities, while also dealing significant damage. While the community has expressed excitement about the addition of Rem, concerns are also emerging about her potential to create an imbalance in the game.
As players adapt to this new character, it remains to be seen how it will influence team strategies and the overall experience of Deadlock. Some players are already warning that Rem could be a considerable challenge for their opponents, suggesting that the release of this character has the potential to redefine the game in unexpected ways.
