Halfred Glitchbot Hero Concept

Backstory
Halfred Glitchbot was created by a group of Hollywood stars to be the best director of all time.
They were called the Film Actors Guild and they claimed he would create movies with drama, comedy, and scenes where the characters survive things only because they’re important to the plot.
His first movie was Space Conflict I: The Menacing Phantom.
The film was about an old war veteran telling kids to get off his lawn and sit down; however, the kids find out the old man is actually… A MENACING PHANTOM!
The cinematic was considered a brilliant work of art that only intellectual Torbjorn players would understand.
Glitchbot went on to make many other movies such as: Family Dad, American Guy, Jurassic Bark, and The Emoji Movie II.

Primary Fire: Criticism
Hal criticizes people for any flaws he sees.
Enemies feel less confident, but attempt to deny any mistakes by using gold medals as an argument.
Glitchbot will also cite your career profile, yet he will label you as a boosted Mercy one-trick if you hide your profile.
He will then explicitly inform you upon why your main isn’t hard, why you are garbage, and why he could play your hero better blindfolded.
This has a 66% percent chance of making the enemy team’s Genji quit.

First Ability: Union
Upon activation, Halfred summons a Union Representative to investigate any harsh conditions he is facing from his employers.
Anyone caught harassing Mr. Glitchbot will be fined one million dollars and be forced to make a public apology.
Harassment includes: refusing to pocket him, using a stun ability, using auto aim, citing pickrate and winrate statistics to show why you disagree with his opinion, and b-tagging.

Second Ability: Interview
(Female Dog) Bot sits down and gets interviewed by his opponents.
More likely than not, Halfred will send his opponent to the Shadow Realm.
Here are some of the potential results of using this ability.

Mercy: “Why are your movies so violent?”
Glitchbot: “I don’t know. I think it’s because of the influence from my co-workers, like the one that brings dead people back to life.”
Mercy: “Are you being suggestive, Mr. Glitchbot?”
Glitchbot: “The only suggestive thing here is that Witch costume.”

Tracer: “Have you thought about adding diversity to your movies?”
Glitchbot: “Such as?”
Tracer: “A character me and my girlfriend Emily can relate to.”
Glitchbot: “I already have plenty of annoying side characters.”
Tracer: “That’s not what I meant.”
Glitchbot: “I know.”

Mei: “How much will tickets be to your next movie?”
Glitchbot: “I honestly don’t know, but I will make sure I’m the only one who can afford them.”
Mei: “Can you give me some free tickets?”
Glitchbot: “No, why don’t you ask your science friends for some?”
Mei: cries and runs away
Glitchbot: “It’s always the adorable ones.”

Ultimate: Lights! Camera! Action!
Hal unleashes his stando power to reveal something so mind blowing that even M. Night Shaymalan wouldn’t have thought of such a plot twist.
He reveals that Overwatch is actually a movie, and not a video game.
It’s not just a movie; it’s his movie!
Halfred has been directing EVERYTHING the whole time, even the developer updates.
Finally, Hal releases his movie to the public and is recognized as the best director of all time for the best movie of all time: Overwatch II: The Salt Continues.

Tl;Dr Jesse McCree is a great name for a cowboy!

Might I suggest an alternate ultimate power?

Mary Sue - make one allied hero gain unbelievable and ridiculous powers that he/she has not logical reason for obtaining simply for plot convenience - for 20sec.

*The lore can go suck an egg - we have a movie to film (and I need to get paid)

I was hinting at how they’re British.
They’re is definitely no minority group people associate with Tracer.

We could also give him another ability:

Plot armor - makes a ally invincible for 7 seconds.

Pharah: “I’m a bag fan of your sports movies; have you considered adding some diversity to them?”
Glitchbot: “Such as?”
Pharah: “A character me and my very close friend Mercy can relate to.”
Glitchbot: “I already had this conversation with the high-pitched Ellen rip-off!”
Pharah: “I meant a female lead character.”
Glitchbot: “Suuuuuuure.”

EDIT: Link me the thread and I’ll see what I can do.

I think his ultimate should be called ‘Dues Ex Machina’ and a huge clapperboard falls from the sky to instantly eliminate all enemies.
