(Suggestion) - My take on Maximiilian as a playable hero

Add Maximillian as a ranged support that uses money for everything in the most hilarious and pretentious ways possible.

Basic attack - Throws money bags that can bounce around doing damage to enemies and heal allies before breaking (great for trick shots). Potential damage/healing on contact reduced for every bounce/collision (cuz money is falling out duh). Can charge up an attack for a larger bag (allows you to gamble on tossing out slower, more impactful heals/dmg, or rapidly tossing out smaller ones).

Support abilities are Cash Shower (throws a money bag in the air at a location for Area of Effect healing as it rains down) and Tax Evasion (subtly creates an active clone of himself with a small health pool where he activated the ability while he goes invis with a very minor speed boost for 1.3 secs to run away).

Ultimate ability is Undercut. This area of effect ability would temporarily cut every affected enemy player’s damage output in half and deal damage to the enemy player based on a percentage of the maximum health they can have (not their current health at that time).

This will never see the light of day but it’d be fun.

This gave me an idea, playable Max would make for one of the funniest April Fools’ updates, have his model superimposed on someone else’s, make him as broken as someone in the final round of Stadium (because he’s richer than anyone else), but also make him die in like 1 hit so he would even go down with a single quick melee :rofl:

An April Fools’ with a small roster’s worth of scuffed low-effort model swaps from other Blizzard lore/mythos with barely-tested-for-balance abilities would be so amazing

So Maximillian just makes it rain…

… to pay for my medical expenses???

Cassidy: They wouldn’t have to pay me to put you away.

Doomfist: Then how would you afford the hospital bills?

Maximillian enters the room with two briefcases full of Benjamins

For those who grew up on Steven Universe this reminded me of Steven’s wrestler persona Tiger Philantropist.

Exactly! He just throws money at everything and everyone to solve any problem that his team encounters.

For his ultimate:

The game turns into a 7v5 as he summons multiple random AI bot heroes for 15 seconds to help his team out :money_mouth_face:
