I would die for Deadlock’s new hero Rem, who also has one of the best easter eggs I’ve seen in a competitive PvP game

The gaming community is voting on which of Valve's six new heroes will debut in Deadlock, with players favoring Rem, a charming nap enthusiast. Rem has unique abilities: Pillow Toss, which damages and knocks back enemies while reducing his cooldowns; Tag Along, allowing him to leap to an ally and heal; a third ability that introduces a smaller companion for assistance; and his ultimate ability, Naptime, which slows and immobilizes opponents, causing them to fall asleep and take damage upon waking. Rem is the first of six new heroes set for release, with the next character to be unveiled on January 29. Additionally, there is a Rem-themed easter egg in the game featuring a secret bedroom with details like plush pillows and 'vote for me' posters, along with tiny companions and surprises.
