Pick the OW hero you would like to see added to the game the most.

If you’re one of those people that don’t want any OW heroes then just don’t vote? Or maybe just vote for the one you’d hate to see the least.

I voted for Reaper because
A) We need an OW villain
B) He’s awesome

Winston

He’s the voice of the franchise, he should be in the game already instead Zarya or D.va.

ehh…D.va is pretty popular I think. Zarya though? That was a headscratcher (and fuel to add to the fire that was the SC2 event). Probably the least popular hero of the game.

Anyways, I voted for Widow. Snipers are neat. And she’s one of three ones I’m remotely interested in.

Not too interested in OW coming to heroes, especially now that we have so many heroes and reworks (compared to 2016 when tracer hit).

Reaper’s kit isn’t large enough to fill up all the buttons. I think Moira would be fun. Heals and damages like Whitemane, but with no CC and an actual escape. Coalescence would be quite good in team fights, exciting possibilities for another heroic. Her orbs would work well with maps like Dragonshire or TotSQ where there’s a lot of walls and tight spaces. High healing output at the constant risk of having to move close to the enemies to recharge. My only question is whether or not she could recharge off of minions/monsters/elite, or just heroes.

Something simpler, something doesn’t bring problems to the game. I think Zenyatta would be the best. Based heroe, with the coolest skins.

Winston or Moira would be welcome additions.

i stand by thinking that zen would be perfect.

pros:

  • high damage support
  • amazing sustained single target healing, and with abathurs hat nerf this slot is now open
  • gives us a debuff character, which the closest thing to that we have is valeera
  • kit is easy to translate.
  • would be squishy and unable to self heal to counteract high damage and good healing
    Cons:
  • people blindly hate overwatch characters

ok quick abiity rundown:
Q: healing orb, point and click ability: put a healing orb on an ally, they heal for X per second (thinking 100 at lvl 1?) last untill cancelled, limited to 1 target
W: Charge, activated: activate to make your next auto attack hit 5 times, long cooldown.
E: orb of discord, point and click ability: lower the armor of the target by 25%, limited to 1 target.
R1: transcendence, activated: Become protected for 3 seconds, during this time you move at 120% increased move speed and heal all allies for 1000 per second.
R2: embrace discord, activated: Become protected for 3 seconds, during this time, you move at 80% move speed and lower the armor of all enemies by 50.
D: tranquility: while both orb abilities are out, gain +50 life per second,
D part two, unbalance: when only one orb is out, stop regening life and lose 15 armor

Looks like I’m not the only one who wants Reinnhardt.

Though I’d like to see how they would work Zenyatta.

You could do this:

Trait-The Reaping
Q-Hellfire Shotguns, skillshot, probably in a cone and deals more damage to closer enemies. 6-8 charges.
W-Wraith form
E-Shadow Step
R1-Death Blossom

Zenyatta or Reinhardt

But how do you put his AA on Q? It’s weird enough that junkrat lobs grenades in two different ways. They had to give tracer’s melee a button in hots just to fill up her bar. Not all overwatch heroes translate over well. If he had an alternate fire that could easily be his Q, but he doesn’t. Even in overwatch his kit is pretty bare bones. You also have the balancing nightmare of his shotguns fall off damage and the varying distances at which he’d be able to AA. I just don’t see it working.

Plenty of more well rounded dps that don’t need extra hoops to jump through in order to make work. Soldier, mei, mccree, ashe, torbjorn, etc.

Brigitte because they ruined her in Overwatch so make her great again in HoTs. Also another melee support to fill in the ranks. Or moira and zenyatta.

My personal pick is Sombra. I’d love to see a disable-focused stealth support (support support, not healer). Runner up for me is Mei.

Neither was Junkrat, Ana, Tracer, or Hanzo’s. Each of them got around that.

But not as popular or significant in the games’ universe as Winston.

Yeah, honestly i could care less about OW heroes, especially with the incredibly slow hero releases, now im just more concerned with getting the big names of WC3, D2, and SC 1&2. I’d be fine if they didn’t release another OW hero for the next 3 years for all i care. But if they were to release an OW hero, winston just feels like a given at this point, he’s far too iconic in that game to have not shown up yet. But know Rein is pretty popular too, so id have no issue if he were to show up instead.

Well, since we have Anub’arak and Abathur already, I guess that’s just Duriel left.

I like realistic ambitions!

“Looking for Baal?!”

But yeah, and Baal.

I would consider Baal to be closer to an arachnid. Does that count as a bug? I dunno what the line on that is.
