Solomon is clearly meant to be one of the NYC guys playing chess in the park, Nurse Harrow is meant to play into the old horror archetype of asylum nurses. Rat king is well, Rats in NYC etc.
What interesting/weird/relevant archetype is "cute girl with paintbrush" playing into in the setting of Deadlock? She could be put into literally any other MOBA and would fit perfectly fine with 0 alteration, that's not true of quite a bit of Deadlock's cast.
Now that I think about it, they could have made her one of those spray paint artists you used to see everywhere in NYC, would’ve fit in a similar role with how they made Solomon.
Honestly this is the only critique on her ive seen that i actually agree with. Im now wishing violet was a cool graffiti artist instead of what we got, even tho i think shes fine regardless
