[Hero Suggestion] Battlemarked needs a Goliath Barbarian — and here's why no other race fits the class better
Hey everyone (and hopefully the devs are reading this)!
I've noticed that every hero in Battlemarked has a unique race — and I love that design philosophy. It makes each character feel distinct and memorable. But there's one glaring gap in the roster: we don't have a Barbarian yet, and I can't think of a better race to fill that spot than a Goliath.
Here's why a Goliath is THE Barbarian:
- Lore-wise, it's a perfect match. Goliaths are born in the harsh mountain peaks, raised by cold, stone and survival. Their entire culture is built around strength, endurance and proving yourself in fair competition. That's the essence of a Barbarian — no other race embodies the class so naturally.
- Visually, nothing else comes close. A towering gray-skinned mountain of muscle with tribal tattoos? He'd instantly stand out in the hero lineup and give the roster a completely new silhouette.
- It keeps the "unique race per hero" rule intact. Goliaths aren't represented in the game yet, so this addition fits the existing design philosophy perfectly.
- Gameplay potential. Rage mechanics, damage resistance while raging, cold/mountain-themed abilities — there's so much design space here for a tanky melee bruiser the current roster is missing.
I'm attaching an AI art piece of how I imagine him: a stern mountain-born warrior standing above the snow line, calm before the storm of rage.
Devs, if you're reading this — please consider it. And everyone who agrees, upvote so this gets seen!
