I love overwatch, it’s one of my favorite games, everything is just fantastic form the gameplay to the lore, so I decided that I should make my own idea to a hero, so I hope you will like it just as much as me.
It’s a tank hero, but it’s more like a tank/defends hybrid.
Name: Torwer (test name, I’m open for other names). Location: originally from Italy, now unknown.
Lore: Torwer was a new kind of omnic uniquely designed to protect land that had been taken over by the omnics, where the bastion unit was more designed to attack the Torwer unit was to stop people from getting in, it could camouflage itself in different environment, and when a group of human would get close it would strike and kill them with frightening fast speed.
In the end of the omnic crisis one of the omniums had just upgraded the omnics ability to outmaneuver humans, but before it could finish it got attacked by overwatch agents and the Italian military, in the battle the first torwers of the batch got realized, but it calculated that it would be destroyed if it attacked, so it hid itself and shut down, while the rest of the omnium got destroyed and exploded.
When it finally had woken up it found itself in a scrapyard, in a massive pile of destroyed omnics, most of its systems was broken or barely intact, so it used the other omnics parts to repair its own, but still after that most of its abilities was heavily downgraded, after it had it stealthily escaped scrapyard, and hid itself in a small forest.
After a couple of weeks, had there been started some rumors of an omnic in the forest, but when police had checked they couldn’t find it, but there were still people seeing it, until one day where it just stopped, people said it that there where a plane that took it, some rumors had even more information, they said it was a high blond man with a beard that took it.
Abilities:
the main fire is a big gun with only one bullet in each magazine, it deals 120 damage and takes 2,5 seconds to reload, but if hit by the bullet it will give the enemy a stun with a duration that’s a little longer the McCrees flashbang, it’s a projectile based weapon and the projectile is as fast as discord/harmony orb from Zenyatta.
the E ability is a laser boomerang, that does 75 damage per second you are in the boomerang, you can go through it, but you would be hit by a slow effect until you leave the boomerang, Torwer can go through it without taking damage.
the Shift ability is a lock-on, when this ability is used the enemy closest to your crosshair will get its hitboxes size doubled, but only for you.
the Ultimate ability is that Torwers primary gun will get a bigger magazine, from 1 to 20 and it shoots 1 shot per 0,5 seconds this ultimate can you hold as long as you want, but the reload speed have been changed to 4,5 seconds until you get the normal magazine back.
the Passive is a half stealth, this will make your hitbox harder to hit and if you far enough away the enemy would not see you, but the closer the enemy are the easier it is to hit you.
How I see the character being used: I will think this going to be the support players best friend, with the ability to shut down most of the flankers if they are not paying attention to the situation, and if you are risky enough you would even be able to flank with him though this would be really dangerous and almost stupid.
I hope you like my idea, if you want to you can even give some feedback, I myself think it could be a little underpowered, but I don’t know where I should buff it.
Edit, I forgot to say a some things about the character, Torwer has 400 hp with 100 of them being armor, and it’s design is higher than bastion and have a more sleek look to it.
