100% agree on this. I can’t really imagine WHAT personality goes with that design, I’m ancient enough that I never played any of the Mega Man roleplaying games, so I can’t even base a hypothetical KU personality on that…
Although now I’ve pretty much decided he’s going to sound like Stinko Man 20X6 from Homestar Runner

Can you look into opening up lore completion via private matches? I think this would appease the community. With matchmaking the way it is I see this as viable

We’re looking into it. I want to be sure when we do, we preserve the integrity of a few challenges that were legitimately earned (like Worthy of Song and Pentastrike). So, this requires some new backend features that let us tag some challenges as ONLY completable in games with random matchmaking.

OMG!! Think I just found my new favorite character! He looks freaking awesome and the suit is badass! Was really hoping for something I wasn’t expecting and you guys didn’t disappoint. I am really excited to play him (support is my favorite thing to play)!

I get the feeling he will act like a super hero, maybe a kid/teenager like voice. I’m not sure, but the design to me just makes it seem like he’ll think he’s a super hero, hence the support abilities. Rescuing people and helping out.

I really like him. He’s Mega Man with a Gearbox twist. For comparisons sake:

(Kid Ultra)

I also thought of Astro Boy as well, which isn’t a bad thing. Unless we’re talking about the Astro Boy movie staring Nicolas Cage.

As if Overwatch fans weren’t already crapping on Battleborn character designs… Kid Ultra is… eurgh. I love supports too so it’s like. Guh. I’ll stick to playing Reyna until we get more badass girls.

I actually like his design. It’s reminiscent of those old Saturday morning cartoons on TV.
I will save everyone from danger and put all of the bad guys (aka the enemy team) in jail (aka the ground).

I also wanted more male supports, so this definitively works for me… even if he is a synth, er, I mean magnus.

I was praying we would get another support before these 5 dlc characters were up, and I got 2! The Battleborn roster was severely lacking them

There are plenty of badass girls and boys in Battleborn. Don’t make this a gender thing

All I gotta say, is if Kid Ultra doesn’t have either a silence, wound, reveal, or some combination of the 3, then I’m gonna be disappointed
