Seriously, we’re at the big 30, and well know it’s either gonna be lackluster or someone we don’t expect.
SO, ALL YOU BOYS AND GIRLS (and devs, yes, i know you scim most threads, so listen up)
Let’s say, blizzard gets out of their ivory tower and opens a contest for the PLAYERBASE to make a hero
essentially, they open the contest about 4 months before the next hero, give or take, and they allow people to send in their fan made heroes for the contest.
this would give them not only more time to work on content outside of the heroes, but give something back to the players (lord knows they need to)
now obviously, there would be pre-rules made
1: the rights to the character must be freely given to Blizzard to put into their Overwatch IP
2: The character must have Art and a well thought out backstory, no lewd designs or half baked lore (like Ashe)
3: Blizzard must be allowed to reject your idea if they feel it is out of place, either art style wise or lore wise, but they are allowed to file it away for future use.
4: the Devs are allowed to edit your design if they feel the need to, whether abilities or design, but have to keep to the core design in some way.
This MIGHT fix some of the broken reputation Blizzard has created over recent events, and will give them more time to make other content, half the work is already done for them, they just need to model, animate, and set it up in game
