Season 6 Concept - ROADSHOW

Hello, so yesterday I was brainstorming a little concept that shows off my idea of what Season 6 could/should be. It's not a leak, it's just something that came out of my brain. I'll have a few sections dedicated to:

1. Lore
2. The new Legend
3. The map
4. The Season Quest
5. The Battle Pass

Anyway, I'm just gonna go straight into it:

1. Lore

The theme for this season, namely "Roadshow" is the desperate plea for viewers after a disaster in the Apex Arena. The lore will be based around Octane and his SO (the new legend, which I'll get to later) taking the lead to direct and restore viewership.

2. Legend

The new legend, as mentioned is a tank named "Shelby". She is an American former diva and was hired by Octane to bring more "entertainment" to the arena. The aesthetic of Shelby is a Americana pinup/rockabilly girl. You can probably imagine what that looks like lol. Her abilities are as follows:

Tactical: Revhead

Basically a boost gauge. When used she moves 50% faster for 1 second. She can only use 3 at a time, similar to Tracer from Overwatch

Passive: Stay with Me!

Everytime Shelby uses her Tac, a portal opens and teleports her allies to her gaining 10% movement speed for 1 second.

Ultimate: Flaunt it

Shelby pulls out a powerful railgun that lasts a short-ish time. Not sure how to make this not OP so maybe some suggestions?

3. The Map

We are back to Kings Canyon (yeah I know) but there is one major change. Somewhere there will be a coliseum with many boost pads, stunts etc. I don't think spectators would suit tho, so maybe an empty coliseum xD.

4. The Season Quest "The Apex Dream"

Remember this season we search for treasure packs and get artifacts? This will be a little different! In Apex matches, every first kill per day (or 25 Apex Coins) will grant you a ticket to the "Roadshow" which is an all-out TV-aired gameshow. Instead of gaining an "artifact" you build up a score and get rewards based on time-completed and "coolness" of your mission, which leads to "Ratings"! This leads them to being highly replayable and every few fans will gain you some rewards. Just like the Broken Ghost, each mission is playable either solo or with a squad of 3.

5. The Battle Pass

I'm just going to count the 4 legendary skins here. Both legend and weapon skins.

Legends-

Greaser Octane, With a mask but sporting a pomp and leather jacket. Pretty obvious.

Pinup Loba, Loba sporting victory rolls, aviators and tied flannel. Don't forget tats everywhere.

Weapons:

Beginning the battle pass is the Thunder Mastiff. looks like a classic 50s Bel-air flair with a bit of a lightning paintjob.

Ending will be the P2020, namely P1943. With a a sorta "WW2" flair.

Finally, Hope you like! This season was thought out because I'm obsessed with vintage fashion and would LOVE to have a highly replayable SQ to one-up the current one. Thanks for reading!

    @NegaJoey Some good ideas. Here's some things I spotted.
    1. From how the story is going right now, it looks like Lifeline has a crush on Octane, so that seems like the course they're taking.
    2. I remember hearing somewhere that the devs don't want to increase speed too much, or problems start happening. Not sure if this is true, but keep that in mind.
    3. The passive on the new legend sounds like it'd be annoying for your teammates, as well as being actually bad in some cases but good in others. It would be extremely situational.
    4. The ult might not be put in, since it looks like the devs want to keep abilities and weapons separate, as well as not having any abilities (besides traps) that straight up deal (meaningful) damage.
    5.They might be making a new map for S6 instead.
    Everything else seems good, although the skins could be focused too much on (American?) culture.
