D.mon for anchor tank

General Discussion
1

We need a new main anchor tank. Right now it’s either rein or orisa for that role. We could really use a third that would introduce a new option for that, and I think she has the most potential of any hero to fit that role.

She looks like a anchor tank. Her model is built looking extremely durable. It just looks stronger than any tank we have in the game, and has opportunity to play unlike anything we have. When I look at it. I see that awesome hulkbuster suit from the avergers movie that was putting the beating down on the hulk.

We also know it’s a shield tank so it helps enforce that role.

With its size too it looks like a good candidate for some CC resistance as a passive if anyone were going to get. Something that big isn’t going to get knocked around easily. I think that’s something all main tanks would appreciate with all the cc comps now.

Chu describes her tough and protective. What better words to describe a main anchor tank. I think she’s a solid option.

Do y’all think she’s the best candidate for it or is there someone else you think fits that role better?

I think it’s still a little early to have D.mon added into the game, but she does have a shield in the D.va Cinematic

D.Mon is the hero that I want too. You are right, we need a new anchor tank. And D.Mon is by far the coolest option I’ve seen. She would be a great addition to Overwatch!

Maximilien really? What makes you think of him for a anchor tank? I see him going the Dps or debuff support route, but I’ve never thought of him as a anchor tank. What would be the general idea for him?

Not hating. I think he’s probably one of the most interesting characters

Screw D.mon, and any other member of meka squad. We already have D.Va to represent them. Give us junker queen. Give us jetpack cat.

Lol yakuza was asking me if I thought waifu. This is pretty much all the reasons for me. xD

Boi we have roadhog and junkrat to represent junkertown with that logic. I’m not against her just had to point that out :joy:

Fair enough. Let’s not get into Overwatch and Talon representation :stuck_out_tongue:

Still. Just pumping out more mekas is the most creatively lame thing they can do.

Hey I don’t see who not🤗

Pump out sure but if done well and they create them right I can definitely see them as being a favorite faction. They like the cool younger overwatch squad essentially. It’s just a matter making them feel like they are in fact thier own heroes :slight_smile:

I would love D.Mon as the next hero because it would be nice to have another anchor tank that can compete with Reinhardt. Having a large mobile shield is just so important for getting through the chokes in less organized play.

14

Well, I have some ideas. It’s somewhat preliminary in nature, however.

15

I’m happy with whenever! Just of course sooner the better to me xD

16

At this point I’m prioritizing based on whom’st would work best at mid-long range.

Seems like Brigitte type shield for the mech.

I would be frustrated unless her silhouette is dramatically different from D.Va. I feel like the Meka look very similar, and with D.Va skins it’ll just be worse.

Trying to tell one character from another is very important in a game like this. Mistaking one unit for another unit can be more than a small annoyance.

It’s actually really diffrent from d.vas but you don’t really get to see it in the short as well. It’s very apparent in game how different they really are :slight_smile:

each hero has to be something, how is “another meka” less creative than “another omnic” or “another human”?

you could even argue it takes more creativity because each hero piloting something comes with the pilot and the vehicle as opposed to just a person

personally I still think we need an evil tank, either Junkerqueen, or develop a weird rivalry where DVa supports Overwatch but DMon gets sucked in by Talon or something
