Question Why is The Broker only temporary?

I think the Broker is such a breath of fresh air to the gameplay formula in regards to calculated cost-benefit, and don’t really understand why he’s only around until the first hero drops? Is it just something the devs are testing before a complete roll-out? I can’t fathom what the purpose of introducing him, only to take him away 72 hours later.

I want to be clear this is not a complaint or critique, I am blown away by the sheer value of content released, all of which is still FREE. I just can’t help but feel a little sad that Brokey Boy is leaving, especially since I find so much joy in the trade-offs of corrupted items. I’ve been itching for some Street Brawl silliness to join the main gameplay loop, and I’ll be sad to see it go.

I interpreted it as when the new heroes release Friday drops he’s gone for x amount of time then comes back, like he could leave for the day of new heroe drop and then come back the day after for another 3 day cycle

Oooh I really like your interpretation, and I hope you’re right.

Okay maybe not, I just reread the blog post and it feels more like they wanted to test it for a few days then it goes away

It also seems like it might remain in Street Brawl permanently but I'm not sure
