General Discussion
1

Overlord is a SIDE Support - DPS based hero with very complex and wide gameplay.

    (use overwatch hero wiki for compare Overlord stats with other heros.)
  • (MEKA) Left Click: “Energy Laser Ray”
    Overlord can fire rapidly or hold the mouse button to charge the energy shot.
    -Can’t do Headshot
    -Is a Projectile.
    -Fire rate: 0.6s or 2.5s (shot holding time is infinite, not like Zen.)

    -Ammo clip: 30 (charged shots consume 10 ammo at time)
    -Reload time: 3s
    -Damage falloff: No.
    -Ground speed: 3m x second (this hero can’t jump in this form)
  • (MEKA) Right Click: “Increase Altitude” / (MEKA) CTRL: “Decrease Altitude”
    -Stationary speed: 7m x 1s (the speed when u move forward, backward, left, right, while flying )
    -Vertical acceleration: 5m x 1s ( the speed when u go UP or DOWN while flying )
    -Maximum flight height: 20m ( This is an anti-game-breaking limitation. )
    -Meka Fuel: 5s ( This is the time limit of how much Overlord can fly )
    THE FUEL DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY RECHARGE.
  • (MEKA) SPACEBAR: “Collect & Deploy”
    Overlord can pick up 1 health pack by standing near it, holding it inside his meka storage.
    -Press again the button when NOT near another health pack (3m) for deploy a new one
    -Meka storage can keep up to x4 health packs Max.
    -Health packs on the ground last for 9s. ( anti-overstack )

    -Sombra can Hack it , EMP it , other hero interaction, etc. etc.
    HEALTH PACKS ALSO RESTORE OVERLORD MEKA FUEL.
    (automatically uses 1 stored health pack for refueling when exhausted)
  • (MEKA) Shift: “Healing Drones”
    Overlord Meka has 2 stationary healing drones.
    -Target & clicking the button on allies send a healing drone to them.
    -There is no time or line-of-sight range limitations. However, travel time increases because drones have a fixed follow speed.
    -Each drone heals 20HP x second, YOU CAN choose whether to give them both to an ally or to divide them for more flex healing.
    -The drones has 100HP and can be destroyed by enemies. Drones regenerate every 9s.
    -Standby drones keep rotate around Overlord Meka, occasionally blocking his cabinet critical hitbox and reinforcing the meka for +50 +50 ARMOR. (self-sustain, decision making, anti-sniper)
  • (MEKA) E: “Scouting Drone”
    Overlord Meka deploy an almost invisible sentry drone that can spot enemies and give special information.
    -The drone travel in the direction you aimed, then freely patrol surroundings.
    -The drone has a vision cone —> \v/ but obviously, enemies can’t see it.
    -The drone has 100HP and can be destroyed by enemies, 9s cooldown, etc.
    -The drone give you information about spotted enemies ultimate charge and highlights it with a (ult Icon+ number% +hero name ) in your team-chat with a YELLOW color.
    -Drone sounds design need be well done for this.
  • (MEKA) PASSIVE: “Compulsory Evacuation Device”
    When Meka “Mastermind” reaches critical damage level, Overlord is ejected.
    -Same Stat & Weapon of “Baby D.va” <—> “Mini-Overlord”

    -Overlord still have ONE personal drone around him and can use his ability.
    -The drone do not respawn in this form if destroyed.
  • (MEKA) Q: “LASER GAME” & “Call Meka”
    Overlord instantly recharge and recall all drones and he eject from the meka.
    The meka will raise at 20m and stay fixed in the sky overloading the engine at its maximum by emitting 3 burning rays on the ground in a triangle movement pattern opening and closing.
    -Health packs inside storage also drop on the ground in a dangerous scripted proximity spot.
    -Ultimate “LASER GAME” lasts for 9s.
    -Enemies under the laser lose 100HP each second.
    -Press the ultimate button for call a new Meka. ( like D.va )
    -Ultimate recharge % begins as soon “Seung-hwa Shi” is ejected.

LORE:

“Seung-hwa Shi” is a member of South Korea’s Mobile Exo-Force
and the youngest member of D.Va’s squad.
Seung has a troll personality due to the fact of being born in a generation
where technology and the “internet” are at the center of everything.
Huge Geek and often time talk with gamer-neologism / nerd quotes.

Helped defending Busan from the Gwishin Omnic attack, but was injured in the battle.
D.Mon gave him a hand… in getting out of his downed meka.
Despite his young age, he is already considered the best strategist pilot in the world for Meka battles.
Always looking for an upgrade, he proposed and installed
a better and “safe…” ejection system to the whole team, after the battle.

Busan Battle.

if Seung die , a nano-bird drone report a holomessage at his family.
“mom, I love you. Please carry on, i don’t regret fighting for my country
and for protect you.”
Seung hand… tremble at the beginning of each mission.
but " it is worth shaking and try, than watching losing everything. "

This actually looks like a lot of fun!

Have you thought about doing shield for health? It seems like it would be really fitting to his design.

Also-on the front of his mech is a minigun. So it could rapid fire energy rounds. So think it would rapid fire rounds instead of strong burst shots. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey, not bad. I like these ideas! No clue as to whether Collect & Deploy is genuinely a part of their kit but it’s a nice idea that could work with the hero.

I also think you could give Baby Overlord a wingsuit for some mobility. & his weapon could be a taser that shoots a projectile, that then sticks to enemies to shock them, but the connection can be broken. Like a smaller version of what Talon uses on Winston in “Recall”.
But obviously, no genuine ideas as we have nothing to go off in that area xD.

That actually sounds super legit for the pilot. We don’t have anything similar to that!

Here we go guys, Weapon name fixed.
more ammo, fast firerate.
Scouting Drone got a VERY unique and strong buff.

about the Baby Overlord wingsuit and taser…
i think there is 2 much stuff already…
and i want avoid " stun " like taser…

  • (MEKA) Left Click: “Energy Laser Ray”
    -Fire rate: 0.6s or 2.5s
    -Ammo clip: 30

  • Scouting Drone:
    -The drone give you information about the spotted enemies ultimate charge
    in your team-chat with a yellow color, until destroyed.

Fair on there being too much. I had the idea without considering him keeping drones, which does fit really nicely; it just made sense to me as he should be largely airborne. It won’t be powerful, just allows you to glide a la Mercy, maybe a bit faster.
I also wouldn’t want the taser to stun, just to deal damage. Because yeah there’s enough stuns xD. Makes him a bit more individual than just having the same gun as D.Va, while allowing for counter-play around his Baby form’s damage as he already has extra utility from drones (& possibly a wingsuit).

Your concept sonds fun and all but I feel like a flying character like this would be quite hard to balance. Right now, even with her clunky flight, Pharmacy is a nightmare in lower Elo and and not so good in higher Elo (because you have to put balance in the middle).
Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but you have to stay out of mech for 7 seconds after deploying your ultimate, then call your meka again (let’s say it takes 2 seconds, like dva’s). That’s almost 10 seconds of you with limited or no fight potential during a teamfight. With 150 hp and no mobility sounds like a punishment, not an ultimate.
Anyway great work, I really like the idea of drones!

This is the reason why i denied put shields or more than 250HP.

The existence in the game of Mercy pocketing and Brigitte armor.
Take in mind that is a Meka, is about a Roadhog size hitbox in the sky.

Widomaker and Winston are HARD COUNTERS.
Dive comp in general quickly get rid of the 1HP healing drones.
(i’m thinking of rise drones hp at 50 ,100 , or 120.) idk

The ultimate is for Area Denied & Control.
You are out-Meka with 150HP and one drone, weak for sure.
but good luck for the enemy team go inside and fight
during the “LASER GAME” let’s say… in overtime :S

Thank you for the feedback and suggestions <3
GIVE ME MORE GUYS.

Yeah I guess I could see that as an issue too lol

Woot! I love this concept! Nice job!

Any concept for Overlord is good in my eyes.

Personally I see him as less of a troll and more of the “unsure because I’m young” kind of character. We have a lot of cocky characters on the roster. It would be refreshing to have someone genuinely scared to be there.

Is a good concept but for me i would remove the passive for logical reasons(Same as baby d.va and we dont need another or that), and for health pack skill it is a good idea but i change to only my team can pick it and have only one with is reset if overlord pick up some.

What if you made him like abathur from HOTS? He would need to find a safe place to camp and help his teams with expendable drones that he spawns.

You can manually control drones individually. Think cameras in r6. The drones have movement similar to spectator cam.

Idle drones not manually controlled would aoe heal in some way. OR maybe transform into hp spawns.

I love the laser game idea. Each drone could shoot a lazer at another drone; creating a lazer field.

How this would work in game is another problem entirely.

No baby Overlord if mech dies. He dies when mech dies. The baby pilot just doesn’t work well in Overwatch right now idk.

Just ideas focusing on the drone aspect of your hero. This is some great stuff!

I don’t see why healthpacks can’t stay neutral, if u drop it in the right place
or moment your team should get it with a bit of comunication and planning.

Small details like that are for give enough Counterplay room

I can maybe give him a different weapon when is in “Mini-Overlord”
but the kit is already a bit overloaded. :confused:

Normally i don’t give a lot of attention to these fanmade concepts, but this actually sounds really cool
