One thing I'd love to see Valve do for Deadlock is create short educational PSA-style videos for each hero.
Not Talking about Meet the Team videos I'd expect those will eventually come, but actual character introduction videos in the form of educational psa that help new players understand a hero's kit while also showing off their personality. So say you select Mina Ha for the first time and seeing a button that says Introduction or Watch PSA. Clicking it would play a short animated video narrated by the hero's voice actor or something similar to fallout's psa voice, teaching you their abilities, playstyle, and role in the world.
The style I'm picturing is similar to the old S.P.E.C.I.A.L. videos from Fallout 4. Deadlock already has an amazing visual style in its Learn to Play menu, so the foundation is already there, they'd just need to animate it.
I think this would be a much better onboarding tool than traditional hero spotlight videos because it'd fit the setting of deadlock so well. It would make the roster feel more alive and give every character a memorable introduction.
Please tell me other people can see the vision here, because educational PSA-style hero introductions would fit Deadlock perfectly.
