NGL, ive kind of lost hope in the devs for releasing heroes that are fun to not only play as, but with and especially against.
And shes supposed to be another flying hero if i recall?
Cant wait.

They are releasing baby d.va support with a jetpack, weird times but cool beans.
My problem is, I have it in my imagination all these possibilites to make her fun to use and have unique abilities not common in her classā¦
Then they will release her and sheās just going to be Pharah but with a conventional weapon that EVERY CLASS has and weāve seen alreadyā¦

I am always looking forward to a new hero so that I can main them for a bit until they inevitably get ruined, the same as every other hero outside of Reinhardt, for whatever demented reason. No idea why he gets to remain as a relic of OG Overwatch, but I am certainly not complaining.

Iām kinda hoping that sheās not so much a flying character (or at least, if she is, doesnāt have all that much air time) as she is independently mobile, and that she can provide team mobility while offering moderate single target healing and standard 90ish DPS. I can see Ranger having MW Echo flight which had more of a horizontal mobility component, IIRC.
Flashpointās miserable if we donāt have a Lucio, and my heart sinks if a support hardlocks someone who doesnāt mesh well with him. Itās usually Mercy but yesterday I had a game where a dude hardlocked Zen. Most of the time I would love that. Zenās cool. But cāmon, man, youāre going to sloooooooowly float around this battle royale-sized map while forcing the other support into a lose-lose situation where he either goes Lucio and force the rest of the team into playing with low HPS, or goes Kiriko while you trundle back from spawn if a Tracer or Sombra gets the drop on you? Ugh.
I think thereās a niche for a support with a Mario Kart speed strip that can be thrown on the ground. Iād have given it to LW instead of his vertical platform but that ship has sailed. Itād probably be necessary to have a cap on speed boosts, or some other mechanism, to stop speed boosting getting to daft levels.
FP maps are the worst for Walking Simulatorā¢ but theyāre far from alone. Push can be bad for it and there are various escort maps where it shows, too. So Iād welcome it on more than a few maps.

I am looking forward because is probably going to be the last appealing hero for some time.
Ngl that it is quite worrying especially considering that she is support and we all know very well how unfun that is to fight against.
For real. She looks so darn generic. Itās never a good sign when the best way they come up with to distinguish a character is by giving them an ugly hair colour and an ugly colour scheme.
Couple that with the way that characters are now releasing with the bare minimum number of skins. Yeah. Hopefully her voice isnāt too grating, either.

Itās just tired. Like theyāre scared to make too many heroes that are less āsafeā even though Lifeweaver and Ram have 63963693963 stans babygirlifying them on Twitter. Sigma has some, too! Like letās branch out a little and go back to our āwe designed Zarya for varietyā roots please. And itās crazy bc I would ordinarily like Space Ranger: purple is my favorite color and the concept kind of almost reminds me of Atomic Betty (for some reason). But itās too much.

After they created Venture, I really hope they donāt make anything like them again.
The quality of character design and personality took a nose dive. I donāt expect space ranger to be anything ground breaking

Rangerās look is like Kirikoās personality.
After seeing weaver and venture, I am totally fine with a generic character.

Says who?
I loved Queen, Kiriko and Ramattra from the beginning. Illari was fine too. Interesting kits.
Weaver, Mauga and Venture have been a complete mess though. Itās like they were designed by totally different teams which is probably exactly what is happening. New heroes aināt clicking for me.

I am looking forward to trying out āSpace Rangerā (hopefully theyāll have changed that placeholder-esque name for something better). Blizzard has yet to release a support Iāve disliked playing as, and I donāt really see that changing with Space Ranger, especially since sheās apparently supposed to be very mobile, and I like high-mobility heroes a lot.
In terms of Space Ranger as a character though (lore, design, etc.), Iām honestly not too hopeful. The design they showed off at BlizzCon really puts me off, and the whole concept of āanime waifu from a Mars colonyā just seems like something out of a particular lame billionaireās wet dream. Hopefully she wonāt also have a grating voice/personality on top of that.
