What if there was 2 heroes in one that you could swap to whenever you please, like the same way Torb and Mercy swap weapons, but swapping to a different ability set or even role.
Like Zelda in the older Smash games? I guess that’s a fine concept but I don’t know how necessary it is.
It’d be unique and a new concept, it’d be necessary in that sense
Technically, this is D.Va. Even though Pilot is near useless due to her critical weaknesses, she can fit into this.
Now, a character balanced between both modes would be interesting. The closest thing I can think of is Fenix in HOTS, and that’s a stretch. One focusing on mobility while the other has splash damage with abilities could be interesting.
There are a few issues that would need to be solved for this concept to work at all:
- The transition between forms must be fast enough that it feels unique to just going into spawn and swapping heroes
- The transition must feel lengthy enough that the heroes feel separate
- One form can’t be viable on its own(like Shiek in SSBM)
- Both forms must be viable together
If you can solve those inherent issues, only then can you actually start with their real abilities and properties.
