Hero 29 theories?

“Finally, it is time to play my hand.”

Junker Queen for 29, Hero 30 will most likely be a hero we never heard of. Hero 31, on the other hand, will probably be the next ‘known’ hero that we have on the list that isn’t very hyped-- like Liao or perhaps Max.

Hero 30? Please, someone with a lore.
I propose Leonora Botruvio, (imho, if she exists) connected with the statues and Petra.

Huh, a bit out of left-field but a cool character to look at actually!

66

Certainly male, after 2 females (Moira, Brigitte) and one particular (omnic or animal, in this case Hammond).
In the past we’ve got Ana, then Sombra, then Orisa and then Doomfist.
I would like to see Emre Sarioglu or Liao as new hero, and i absolutely him to be dubbed in the italian dub by Pino Insegno

67

Plus i think we need another visible Omnic like Zenyatta (a robot, a true robot).
And yes, maybe an “out character” but Blizzard shows us frequently heroes that none thought about (Moira/Ana/Orisa)

Hey, Botruvio is at least a genuine character in-world with loads of potential to make a kit from (sculptures anyone?) & with possible links to Talon (Rialto exhibit) & the statues (sculptors definitely work with statues) there’s lots of opportunities for stories to be told there. Also more Omnics!
That’s a damn interesting potential character yo, don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it. I guess I try to leave background characters as background xD.

My theories are that She isn’t part of Talon, but Antonio gave her money for her cultural things. So, Leonora, give to Antonio a Statue (that in Talon castle).
She is a restorer (so i think her plus like a support) and she is probably in contact or the boss with Petra’s team for discovering and “protecting” cultural heritage.

I thinks she is ok for that hero’s concept that Jeff Kaplan talked: a hero that transforms object of the map in platform.

Honestly, i’m italian, and i hope in a artistic and cultura hero, not a “mafia guy”… That part of stereotype is already part of Rialto.

71

already confirmed that it will be anaconda

72

Yeah totally, she doesn’t have to be a part of Talon, just linked to them. She could even have her own personal conflict with how they’ve used her expertise.

Unsure about the link to Antonio, but that could at least be where her original link comes from. The statue in Rialto (Talon HQ) & the one at Chateau Guillard could well have been stolen by Talon in their more recent ventures.
The link to the dig team from Petra (also linked to Ayutthaya, Ilios & possibly Oasis) is a pretty cool way to link her to existing things too, nice!

Yeah that all helps further her position as a much more sympathetic character; one who cares for her culture & artistry. Awesome shout, there’s not a hero in OW yet that seems to have that kind of motivation either. :smiley:

73

Another clue that i found, it’s in Petra. There is a lion with wings (It’s not a griphon). The lion with wings is the symbol of Saint Marco, in Venice, so Venice->Rialto.
Of course these are only speculation

It will be Barack Obama.

That is something for Paladins.

there’s that one poster in hanamura that says 01.01.XX h ttps://imgur.com/cZfMCy4

I want the whole MEKA squad to be in the game, even if its under a year time span.

Junkertown Queen would be eh and Maxmillian seems bland

79

So you won’t argue me on Maximillien then? xD

I’m thinking of designing a hero kit concept for Leonora :slight_smile: any ideas / want to help?

I see her being a support/tank hybrid playing with structures that she can alter or floating Omnic cubes that she can position, move around & make interact with each other. Maybe magnetic fields?

Anything from your homeland that would fit in that respect? :slight_smile:

81

I want the Junker Queen! Though they put an unusual amount of detail into D.Mon during the D.VA short, so it’ll probably be her. Not complaining though, she’s cute, her mech looks awesome, and her body language during the short sets up a potential Talon story for her I feel (and Talon needs a tank). I would be here for it!

I would want it to be Lynx-17 or Overlord. Who knows, it could be Barack Obama.
