Most wanted new hero for each role in 2021

So it’s officially 2021 in every part of the world. I wish you all a happy new year!

I was wondering what new hero do you most want to see in each role? I know we most likely won’t get more than 2 new, if we even get 2, but we can dream. Here’s mine:

  • Tank: Winston
  • Bruiser: Baal
  • Melee Assassin: Lor’themar
  • Ranged Assassin: Lady Vashj
  • Healer: Vol’jin
  • Support: ? (Karax maybe, have no clue who could be a support tbh)

I would bet here Zurvan. But that’s my call.

I bet he could be a good healer with his “Repair beam”.

Ranged Bruiser? Wut?

A shadow hunter as healer?! Madness!

With the exception of Orc and Elf, I think we’ll only get one representative per WC race for a while. So chances of getting Cairne are probably low.

Would love to see how they’d implement Brigitte though.

Yeah, why not? We have two ranged tanks already. And Soldier comes with his own healing. Making him a healer would be too similar to Alex, and as an assassin he’s be too close to Raynor. And they won’t make any more supports.

No, i mean, he doesn’t fit Bruiser role at all, because he doesn’t have any kind of CC in his kit in OW.
Mei is a Tank because she surely must be in a Tank slot in OW too.
But S-76 is a Ranged Assassin only. And yes, they can easily make him different from Raynor. Having healing doesn’t make you a Bruiser at all.

About Rifleman: we already have them as ranged minions in Alterac Pass.

Tank: Talandar

Healer: Karax

Range assassin: Adept

Support: Centrius

???: The Overmind

Not all bruisers have CC. Malthael doesn’t have any. Sonya barely have any, Ragnaros , Artanis. But they could make his missile into a displacement.

She’s not. She’s a damage dealer.

In OW he is. In HotS they can make him anything they want.

Varian is a glorified footman. We still got him :slight_smile:

If mei is a ranged tank then ranged bruiser can exist too like more than just blaze (basically a bruiser) or rexxar

Theoretically, we have a ranged bruiser too: Zarya. For a support she works well as a bruiser / off-tank.

D.Va is a ranged Bruiser. Rexxar is also a ranged, however he’s melee de facto cause of Misha.

Ever played Warcraft 3?

I like to pretend that the autrocity called Reforged doesn’t exist!

D.va is a ranged “Bruiser” in OW too.

Ahem, Q…

Yet Malthael is Melee hero with A LOT of selfsustain.

She’s in a Damage slot for no reason right now.

But not Ranged Bruiser, he doesn’t fit this role at all.

Dafuq? He got Footman’s skin, but he is not just a footman, you know.

Blaze is a Tank, not a Bruiser. And they both got CC.

We already have all of their abilities in HotS tho.

Nah

Why? How did you come to that conclusion? Cairne is one of the most requested heroes right now. I don’t think they’ll ditch him because of some imaginary quota.
