[For fun] The last video game character you played as (In a non-Blizzard game)

Is the newest hero in the game. Good luck balancing them and giving them their kit :]

(This is the “HoTS” version of the same thread in the Overwatch forums)

Oh, that would be weird.

Well, he does have exactly three moves. Jump, tail swing, and burrow.

I guess his heroic would be absorbing enemies into the Book of Ages.

Interestingly, he could use the book to travel to the nexus. Since it can take him to any world.

I guess my Wood Elf Nightblade (only level 12) from ESO is a hero now…

She needs buffs already.

Edit: Here’s the kit

Q: Teleport Strike - Flash through the shadows and ambush an enemy, dealing 185 damage and reducing their armor by 10 for 3 seconds, increasing their damage taken by 10%. Using Teleport Strike while Sneaking increases the armor reduction to 20 and the duration is increased by 2 seconds.

W: Veiled Strike - Slash an enemy, dealing 140 damage. Using Veiled Strike while Sneaking deals an extra 25% and stuns the enemy for 1.5 seconds and slowing them by 10% for 2 seconds after the stun expires.

E: Assassin’s Blade - Thrust a magic blade with lethal precision to stab an enemy, dealing 210 damage. Deals 80% more damage to targets at or below 50% Heath.

R1: Death Stroke - Ravage an enemy with a spinning attack to deal 625 damage and increase your damage against them by 20% from your attacks for 6 seconds. Only your hero deals an extra 20% of damage for 6 seconds. Does not apply to your allies.

R2: Summon Shade - Summon a shade version of yourself to attack an enemy and fight your side for 15 seconds. The shade’s basic attacks deal 141 damage and mimic your abilities dealing 75% of the abilities’ normal damage.

D (Trait): Shadow Cloak - Activate to Sneak for 3 seconds. You are stealthed only when sneaking.
Passive (Trait): Funnel Health - All abilities heal for 1.5% of the enemy’s max health.

Guess we’re getting a destroyer from World of Warships in the game. Killing the core from 20km away with torpedoes sounds like fun. We’ll see how Blizzard implements the concept of momentum and the huge turn radius. :laughing:

Let the salt flow, it’s wall jumping, backstabbing, knife yeeting, sneaking, sniping, smoke bombing, slicing Jin Sakai.

I guess the new hero is the T-Rex from Jurassic Park.

Role: Bruiser.

  • Bite: bites people and does damage. If this kills regain health. Healing doubled vs heroes.
  • Trample: dash in a line, damaging and slowing people in the way
  • tail swipe: smacks people with tail. Does knockback.

Trait: Rampage! Does more damage at lower health. Like garroshs armor up but for damage.

Ult 1: Armored hide. Gain massive (like 75) armor for a few seconds

Ult 2: Tyrant Roar. Roar and make everyone cower in fear! (Basically deathwings ult except a cone).

I FEEL MOST ALIVE WHEN RAPIDLY APROACHING MY DEATH! seems like caustic would be coming to the nexus, basically think junkrat trap build but even worse, gas clouds that slow and constantly deal damage to you that ignores armor, he is immune to slows and has perma 15 armor. and as he would say
“Science is un-apologetic like I”

Hat Kid from A Hat in Time

Support Melee(?)

All of these are on her 1 - 6 slot thingy.

Cast one of her abilities from 1 - 6, all of them have shared cooldown.

Kid’s hat: Reveal a target for short amount of time, long cooldown.

Sprint Hat: Grant a temporary speed boost to an ally and self.

Brew Hat: Create a pool puddle that slows enemies and deals damage over time.

Dweller Hat: Reveal a blockade around you in an AoE, blocking anyone to pass through.

Time Stop: All actions and movements for enemies, allies are 50% and 25% slower respectively for 3 seconds, does not affect Hat Kid, using your hat to cast any ability afterwards requires twice the wait time.

Her QWER are talent unlockables who knows lol.

How else are you going to jump out onto the red carpet with sunglasses on? Without a car?

At least its not sonic forces OC generator.

I love this game, you got the expensions? and can you recommend them?

uh… I honestly have no idea how in the world I would balance Mansa Musa from Civ6 in HotS. :sweat_smile:

I should have picked a different game to play last…

And before that it was Artanis (LotV), Kerrigan (HotS) and Raynor (WoL). :sweat_smile:

I’m honestly amused that I don’t recall playing anything beyond civ6/HotS/SC2 recently.

I’m not even sure if it really qualifies as a “character”, a friend of mine wanted me to play Super Smash Bros. and I played Richter. Exciting stuff.
