I hope it’s true. Also it hints McCree and Winston’s inclusions too :>

Mei’s interactions with Mercy, McCree and Winston :3

Thats a 3 times big no from me unless they change their kits massively, even more than Mei’s.

Would be absolute awesome!

I think the only one who’ll get a kit change is Mercy. I don’t think McCree and Winston have similar heroes in the game (Mei was similar to Jaina so they changed it)

Compared to the overly expansive roster possibilities we get from other games I’m not really enthused at being flooded with Overwatch heroes.
Out of 32 playable characters in the Overwatch cast we already have 9 available to us. Having nearly 30% of the characters is pretty good representation and I just hope we get more cool/silly heroes or even unexpected ones like Lunara.
I’d take a regular dwarf with a gun like Hemet Nesingwary over another overwatch hero.

Shoot, shoot, shoot, dash, Aoe stun, shoot, shoot, shoot. Sounds pretty familiar to me.

Winston is similar to Tyrael but thats not really a point. The point is that he enables dive by design and its scary as hell. Some kind of heavy dive (meta) is the worst thing that could happen, we’ve been there. Heavy dive is not healthy since it removes assassins/healers with weak selfsustain from the game. Again, we’ve been there.

Pharah, Ashe&Bob or nothing :F

Ugh Mercy, we have Lt Morales.

Unless we they make her some flying nuisance like the majority of the overwatch heroes

Just remember, characters had voice lines to interact with Deathwing when HotS first was released. It means those characters are likely, but not necessarily any time soon. The reason they do this is to keep from having to bring back in the voice actor (and pay them again) when they only need one or two lines from them.

We have DW the dive-king, do you really fear more?

Yeah. I think they can do the same thing like they did with Zarya and Ana. They reused most of their voice lines from Overwatch. They only actually brought them in for interactions and Clicking voice lines.

How exactly does Dwing enable dive? By… being able to dive? Where are shields, attack/movement speeds for his team?
Does Illidan enable dive? Does Dwing make Illidan better at diving?

so many questions D:

He jumps to the backline from the sky and your backline have to retreat, if they won’t get melted by his mighty presence. :smiley: At least in lower elo. :rofl:

If the dragon has the big attention like he wants to, it might enables it for Ilidan as well? Ilidan can still closer the gap with on the hunt.

Yes please
PLease put Mercy into the hands of COmpetant Devs rather then those morons over at the Overwatch team

Coming in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
:stuck_out_tongue:

Nooooo. LET THEM BE IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW (Btw. There must be at least 2 heroes in 2020)

Is there a source for this?

In one of the AMAs they said there would be more than 1 hero in 2020.

There are data mined interactions for a bunch of heroes. I wouldn’t look too much into it.

I don’t have the link now since I’m using my phone, but I’m pretty sure it was the latest ama that the devs said there’d be at least one more

2 heroes, yes, but not from Overwatch. Since support heroes are unlikely my bets are on somebody from Diablo. Druid has yet to make an appearance and there are a fair few enemies who could be turned into heroes. Oh and there’s also the promised Kyle Vlaros from Blackthorne.

Sounds like placeholder clips taken from OW
