Any feedback would be heavily appreciated.
Null/Zero the Tank support
Before you ask, no this is not Venom even though some elements are based on him. Wanted to find a mix that could fit into Overwatch without being entirely unbelievable. Just hoping the originality will get Blizz to at least glance at this.
Introduction:
The names not final but I’m going to refer to the character as Zero. Zero would be a unique tank that would have some support elements. Zero is a symbiotic type of genetic experiment created by Moira.
Obsessed with perfection and wanting to collect knowledge and genetic material from everything on Earth. Literally referred to as Moira’s shadow, it’s a top secret project and bodyguard that was never separated from Moira’s body until now. Zero is basically a collection of cells that has it’s own sentient personality.
Tends to dislike all machines in general as it believes organic beings are superior. It tends to not show a lot of emotion besides wanting power and knowledge and rarely if ever smiles. It’s fond of its creator Moira but does not let her get in its way of power either. Has a berserk side that is hidden normally, screaming and roaring while activating her full power shows that hidden side. Currently works with Moira as a secret bodyguard sharing her body.
Appearance: Zero is shaped like Moira being slightly smaller than average but way smaller than most tanks. Zero looks exactly like Moira except has long hair past the shoulders and wears a body suit with a number on it referencing it’s experiment number. Could also be used with a half cat design still based on Moira which would also explain why she experimented with animals too.
Wears a re-breather at all times, probably due to the benefits of efficient air intake. Also wears metal claw-like gloves on both hands along with boots with chain adornments. Gives Zero a kind of prisoner/underwater feel to the design.
Health and Basic Abilities: 400? Capped at 1000 with full resource meter. Made to be a small tank but can gain enough health comparable to full fledged tanks. Also works into her passive.
Basic melee attack deals double damage thanks to clawed gauntlets.
Moves at a slightly faster speed than Genji and Tracer. Made to be a melee tank when not using a host body. Primary fire doesn’t deal enough damage to be a major threat and is mostly used to gain health and heal.
Passive: Regeneration: Works like Mercys passive except it also works when being damaged as well. Drains resources when healing. Your mac health is increased depending on how filled the resource meter is. These passive are transferred to your host if you have one. Does not start with any resources and does not generate any passively.
Primary: Biotic Grip: Works exactly like Moira’s beam except does less damage. Can be used with a host. It’s mostly used to heal herself and build up her max health.
Secondary: Cell shield: brings up a barrier that can be held like Briggite and Rein’s barrier. Has about half the health of Brig’s barrier but it can regenerate while held out at a slow rate. Small, but can be utilized with a host. Can be used to cover your hosts back since you can face different directions than they are facing.
E: Impulse: An ability that cleanses most cc from you for 0.25 seconds and has a 5 second cooldown. Host compatible. Helps their ally or themselves withstand cc since they have very little ranged damage.
Shift: Host Body: Fuse together with an allied hero to transfer your health and healing to them. Other abilities are also allowed but are slightly weaker with a host. You don’t exist in-game just like Meteor strike and can leave them by pressing it again. If your host dies you also are killed with them. Leaving your host splits your remaining health with them. For example if you both had 200 health fused you will both end up with 100 health after leaving them.
Ultimate: Perfect Creation: Transforms into a giant beast with enhanced speed, health, and damage. If used with a host they will get its effects instead and you can still use your abilities to assist them. The host cannot use any of their abilities during it’s duration and you cannot leave them either. They have a basic melee cleave attack like Reinhardt that deals heavy damage.
The idea is that they become powerful, fast, and extremely tanky but have no range at all. In a way think of it like Winston’s ultimate except little to no cc.
The beast would look like a cross between a werewolf and a dragon, being a chimera of many different species on the planet. Think of a deathclaw.
Strategy: The hero is a cross between support and tank but weighs much more on the latter. Deals good damage in melee range. Has poor damage at range but great sustainability with healing and gaining max health.
Naturally being fused with someone carries an inherent risk of you both dying. If your enemy knows who you fused with they might use their focus fire or ultimates to kill you both.
Zero being so defensive based means fusing with another hero gives them an edge to be way more offensive. Best played as a bodyguard type of character that enables allies to play like they are playing a bruiser type character.
Thank you.
Thanks for even reading. Nothing is final and feel free to ask questions or being up anything. Also drop your ideas here too, you might think up something way better than I did!
