Overview
Lou is a cheerful ice cream vendor who brings a literal chill to the battlefield. His unique freezing mechanics allow him to slow down and eventually freeze enemies completely, making him an exceptional crowd control support brawler. Lou's ability to stack "brain freeze" effects on enemies creates tactical opportunities for his team while providing area denial through his icy super. His friendly demeanor contrasts with his ability to completely shut down enemy movements.
