I’d die for Impasse’s new hero Rem, who additionally has among the best easter eggs I’ve seen in a aggressive PvP recreation

Following final week’s colossal Impasse replace, the neighborhood has been voting on which of Valve’s six new heroes it needs added to the sport first. I had my cash on Silver, the self-proclaimed “scorching mess,” however Impasse gamers have pleasantly shocked me, choosing the lovely nap fanatic Rem. This sleepy, imp-like creature is the teeniest lil’ man, and is now obtainable to play within the ever-expanding MOBA. In addition to a equipment that may heal allies and make foes drowsy, Valve has additionally bestowed Rem with an extremely cute easter egg that has swiftly been found in Impasse’s hub space, the Hideout.

Look apart, Rem’s truly a reasonably fascinating character from a gameplay perspective. His first skill is Pillow Toss, which just about does what it says on the tin. Rem throws a pillow, which damages and knocks again enemies, in addition to lowering the cooldown on his personal skills.

I by no means knew Impasse may get this lovely, however Rem’s second skill is Tag Alongside, which lets you bounce to an ally and nap alongside them, therapeutic them and providing regeneration. The lovable-ometer goes into overdrive along with his third skill, although, which supplies our lil’ man a good lil’er man, who can do a chore or observe an ally.

Rem’s closing skill, Naptime, slows opponents and stops their motion skills. After channeling, they go to sleep and take injury upon waking. Feels like me when the children burst into my bed room at 6am on a Sunday morning.

Rem is simply the primary of six heroes being added to Valve’s MOBA over the approaching weeks, however he’ll be onerous to prime. The subsequent Impasse character can be revealed on Thursday, January 29, and you may vote in-game to verify your favourite follows in Rem’s footsteps sooner reasonably than later.

You’ll be able to verify right here for a full breakdown of the Impasse Previous Gods, New Blood replace, however the perfect addition could also be a Rem-themed easter egg. Sure, I am obsessed, do you actually blame me? I will try Road Brawl finally, and the new-look UI is a pleasant high quality of life improve, however I’ve not completed exploring Rem’s den but.

In case you have Rem chosen within the Hideout, you possibly can entry the air vents to discover a secret bed room – Rem’s! In addition to stacks of books, cozy pillows, and ‘vote for me’ posters adorning the partitions, there are easter eggs inside the easter egg. The even littler guys who observe Rem round can get tucked up in tiny blankets, and one is even holed up in a drawer, studying their ABCs. The Hideout’s already stuffed with secrets and techniques, however seeing this stage of element for an easter egg in a aggressive recreation is fantastic to see.

Rem should be the sleepiest character to grace a videogame since Snorlax, and he is simply as lovely. One way or the other I do not assume the subsequent character will obtain fairly the identical response, particularly if Silver brings her messy private life into the sport. Let’s hope their gameplay makes up for his or her lack of cutesy easter eggs.
