Baptiste - Developer Q&A

He also replies to a friendly Sombra after she gets a kill, saying “I always liked working with you.”

Does he listen to Lucio’s music?

so lets say hypothetically, that Jean would live in real world and he would work in Blizzard…
would he have a secret (not official) account to read posts, reply and even argue with users?

just akin’ :>

The voice actor is Haitian/Canadian. It’s pretty safe to assume he knows how to say the name correctly.

The field drone acts as a construct, just like Torb and Sym turrets and Orisa’s drum: Has health, cannot be deflected or defense matrixed, can be hacked and destroyed, cannot be hooked.

“Why is this new thing you’re doing not older?”

I’m assuming it’s because the technology for time travel hasn’t been perfected yet.

Hey been thinking about it… Widow maker was our talon sniper hero, and Baptist is now a talon trooper hero… Do you think a heavy gunner and assassin hero could arrive in a near future?

both are cool. the heavy gunner with double minigun is dope

I understand the way it works, my suggestion is if the dev team would consider having it effected by CC as is it something marginally different to torbs turret, or sym’s turrets

I just feel that it should be something not only sombra can counter outside of damage

Let me refund my gold weapons for at least half price please. Also, something, something, Baptiste.

When did Baptiste Join and Leave Talon in the timeline?

Wondering at what stage Widow’s brainwashing was in, if The Scourge was still in charge, if Reyes was Reaper yet and if Sombra was already a part of the team all whilst Baptiste was around or not.

Why does blizz team need to add low skill high impact heroes .
Mercy 1.0 was fine
The reworks killed her she Always needed high gamesense and positioning nowadays you play brig brig has around the same dmg output as my widow #rank 97currently her dmg output is somewhere between 8-20kif dmg boosted (same for widow) and brig does ludicrous aoe healing why the fk goats its boring to play boring to watch .
So why add another low skill hero ??
Baptiste will just sit behind a shield all day and amplify dds damage and make them immortal gj blizz

Not at all.

None, anymore. He’s completely rogue.

Haiti.

Listen, just because they’re black doesn’t mean they’re related. Consider that they’re from three different countries with three different family names.

This question makes no sense. Baptiste was the only Talon soldier not wearing a helmet in his origin trailer.

It’s astounding to me how many people in this thread are asking questions that have already been answered, or are just completely silly.

Suggestion:
What if his nade splash did more damage that the impact to keep his single target dmg at a reasonable level.

  • Allows him to have a greater effect at damaging groups while staying the same with single targets
  • shields would be taking more damage when junk is hitting nearby enemies over the shield from high ground
  • Missed nades to be a greater threat and zone a small area, denying space for goats to walk

Players complained to no end about resurrect…why do you think adding invulnerability is a good idea?
Did the developers take time to rationalize the ramifications of not even making it an ultimate?
That’s way too damn strong an ability to simply remain on a cooldown, especially since it can work on an entire team. Releasing this hero as-is, will be a horrible mistake.

did Baptiste have any friends from the Coalition join him in Talon? If so, were they part of the troop sent to reclaim him, or is it possible that we could see more of the CC in future comics/shorts/origins?

Maybe even Archives!

How soon will it be before Baptiste is nerfed into oblivion?
You know, like you’ve done with Brigitte and Mercy?

How come they don’t get massive buffs that make them horrendously overpowered with zero skill required, like Spamrat and Spamzo?

Why are only damage characters allowed to ruin the balance and make the game a truly miserable experience?

Never mind. I already know the answer - you only care about esports.

I think they’ve fixed it on PTR.
