  The concept of gaining sentience and your life goal becoming “lets rob these humans for all they’ve got” is so fucking good

  I dont think Max will ever be playable... but I could totally see him being the new announcer, especially considering athena is technically dead in lore

  I feel max like’s widow because she has no emotional tells. The two most likely just hung out with no words spoken or very few words, he got her a gun to match her.

  I feel that Max is the perfect embodiment of the "Vizier Ruler" archetype - essentially, he doesn't want to be the guy in charge, he wants to be the guy right BEHIND the guy in charge who's actually pulling most of the strings. Because the guy in charge has the biggest target on their back, always.

  Vendetta might be twice as unhinged but she’s ten times easier to manipulate

  Holy moly, the idea of ​​him being the new match announcer is brilliant! Nice.

  Mauga and Junkerqueen were also heroes that were hyped into existence. While I love Max so much as a character, I think it's important he stays as one of the few characters that are important in lore but not a in game character.

  Definitely could see him being like, an alt announcer and could be a fun new addition. it's kinda refreshing to have someone on the antagonizing side feel like a threat for once in this game so i do like Maximillian's inclusion and what it does bring

  I would absolutely love a Maximilian support hero like mercy where his main attack is healing (it could be called something like "Future investement") and a small secondary weapon for attack called the contingency plan

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdIvLJa9NBw&amp;t=564">9:24</a> On Freja’s release, I believe she had (still has?) voice lines with Widow where they talk about their relationship to Max. If I remember correctly, Widow is like his top mercenary or something.
