General Discussion

I am putting him back up since I am finally trust level 3 and can now do links. As of right now I am coming close to finishing the beginning of his story and plan to have it done before the end of May.

Feedback and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

Edit: I will be adding the following for him (hopefully soon): A full out story showing more detail to the lore. Art, I am not an artist so I don’t expect you to expect something amazing. Songs because he is a musician and it would not be fitting for him to not have a few.

Edit: Theme Songs

Edit: Here is his story. You can comment on it, so please feel free to provide any feedback whatsoever. Please give it a read and let me know what you think!

I’m not necessarily against pyro characters, in just concerned with characters that have more visual spam than Moira blocking visibility.

Moira’s blocking ability? I assume you mean the orbs or ult if you do mean Moira, otherwise I assume Mei because of her wall.

I do get why you are concerned with it, but it is something that could become extremely useful in the game.

I’m sorry… but pyro hero needs to be named Napalmo Thermito, with mustache…

It’s a problem when it makes for low visibility.

I’ll do another with that name.

@GreyFalcon. I see what you mean, but it is meant to be like a trap or to hold an area. It does explode after all, so it is primarily meant to be used to hold an area and keep people away from it. It also is an expanding thing so it doesn’t cover much at first, but more the longer it lasts.

Her ultimate, actually. Some people use it just for the visual blinding effect. Well, formerly. It got toned down when Retribution dropped.

I saw what he meant, thank you though.

I just changed the visibility for the smoke, increased it to a meter. It is meant to be a blinding and trapping ability, so I am reluctant to bring it up more.

I L :heart:VE this idea.

My favorite and absolutely love this ability.

Smoke Grenade-
Type: Arcing projectile
Damage: 90
Projectile speed: 40 m/s
Area of Effect: 1 meter to 10 meters
Duration: Smoke lasts up to 8 seconds before exploding or remote detonation. Smoke begins spewing on contact
Visibility: For enemies visibility is 1 meter, full visibility for allies
Cooldown: 10 seconds (begins after detonation)
Headshot: no
Self-damage: yes (40)

Because it something new, as we don’t have a hero who impair the enemy vision. It’s DIFFERENT AND I LOVE IT.

PS: I love his and Mei voice-lines. :fire: :snowflake:

A fire hero would have to more offensive oriented that defensive imo

That does not appear to be the consensus here, but thank you!

The Mei voice lines are something I rather enjoyed doing.

I thought about it with my first draft of him, but then I scrapped it to make him more defense oriented.

And he should be half naked and covered in oil…I mean, pyro hero should be hot…Literally…

This is a good idea, a bit much, but still a good idea. I will keep this in mind.

I’d like a firewall ability. A different barrier - you can shoot through it, but it hurts you to pass through it.

Hero fire the flame thrower across a section of ground, it is now on fire for some time.

Very long time ago when my English was far worse I’ve made a concept for hero with kinda firewall-like ability. You can look at it if interested. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bIAVGSkomZgKesi-UVVQTqznDCKv_RpQOHx_gfKougU/edit?usp=sharing

I love it!!! It is such a good hero :slight_smile:

I can see why they wouldn’t make it a hero from Ireland though… That would be too political for Blizzards tastes.

I would LOVE to see a hero like that.

Moira is from Ireland. Yep, this scary evil-scientist lady is from Ireland.
