Any chance we are getting both Hammon and Junker Queen? That would be a first and cause quite a “storm”?
And Jeff has stated they have no set schedule for hero releases they are released when they are ready, maybe both are ready.

That would be amazing… but I doubt it.
Blizzard seems more on pace with 1 character every 4 months, even if they do say otherwise.

I suppose but it would just fit, hints for both heroes at the same time and it would cause a ruckus.
It will be game breaking.
I want it to happen.

Yeah, it would be incredible if they did release 2 at a time.

I feel like Hammond is a redhearring.
they should of done it for orisa and doomfist, would of been a nice lore/content pack to add to the game

It’d be smart of them to drop two heroes at once or at least a hero and a map to get people interested again.

I certainly hope so, if it is 2 heroes I hope he isn’t one of them or at least not just a monkey…

“we decided to not tamper with mercy OR the other healers and release more healers because look how healthy brigitte has been for the game!!”
-Blizzard, I imagine
It would be cool if they were working together, a lot of people are saying that Junker Queen will use that spider looking mech from concept arts. Maybe Hammond was the one who made hers? Would be cool. There’s also speculation of a Lucio short coming (better be true) and some people saying Hammond might be featured in it

A 2 hero release is an awesome idea, but I wonder how it’d turn out. Would the 2 heroes counter each other, have a really good combo together, or just be completely separate entities?

So what I think at this point is that we’re getting the Junker Queen, but Hammond will be her pet in either lore or as a part of her kit (making her the first hero with a pet, which I believe has been a demand for quite a while).
For Hammond, we see the obvious hints in the form of Horizon and the recent teaser. For Junker Queen, we see just as many with the removal of her voice in Junkertown and the less illuminated poster in the teaser.
As far as I can tell, we’re basically seeing an even number of hints for both of them, but I can’t quite see them releasing two at once. I think what’s being pointed to is that Hammond landed in Australia and was taken in by the JQ, who taught him the ways of racism and mech fighting.
So yeah, that’s where my money is. Flamethrower-wielding Junker Queen with a tiny racist monkey companion.
Or something.
Edit: As far as the phrase ‘calm before the storm goes’, I’m choosing to believe Blame the Controller’s take that it’s in reference to a post on a Junker Queen thread from a while back which read, ‘Ah crap here comes the storm’ and received hundreds of upvotes. That would be a neat hint toward JQ.

Game breaking, yeah… but in good way.
They definitely couldn’t have, going off of how buggy Doomfist was on release.
I dont see how 1 buggy on release character will stop them from releasing 2 at the same time because one is buggy is because no matter the state of things it seems blizzard will upload anything is means keeping things on schedule and on time
