Do you think younger, human, teenage heroes would ever be a possibility?
It would make the younger generations of Overwatch players feel included and have a character that they can relate to. The only reason I see why this may never be a reality is due to the obvious problem of maliciously murdering small children for entertainment in a video game. What do you guys think? If you’re a young player I’d love for you to present your own ideas.
we have
hammond and orisa who are under 18

Orisa’s handler is also incredibly young, if that answer is acceptable. I don’t remember her name.
Also, as has been proven time and again, young kids don’t care about young kids in media. No kid ran around wanting to be young Anakin, they wanted to be Han Solo or Luke Skywalker.
There, I’ve fixed that.
Don’t think the ESRB would look too kindly at children being killed in a video game

Wow you think Hammond isn’t a person? How offensive
/s
While it might be cool to have a teen hero, there’s not really a point in it from a gameplay or lore standpoint.
i dont think there will ever be non adult human heroes in game truthfully, probably because they dont want to deal with the problems associated with it and overwatch wouldnt accept members that are too young anyways

Human? Probably not.
I don’t think Blizzard want to go younger than Brigitte (23) or Dva (19) for both rating and PR reasons.
Technically there are younger heroes, like Hammond and Orisa, but they raise less of a fuss since they’re non-humans.

Hi there. Why don’t you take a seat right over there.
You mind telling me why you posted a topic like this on the forum?

I don’t think we will ever see a hero under 18 that is a human. Robots or animals will most likely be the only option.
I’m sure some of the characters wouldn’t mind. You’re forgetting Mei is in the game.
Nah, never going to happen.
Shooting kids etc…
Hammond is only 14

Who cares.
I’m so sick of people thinking video games have to cater to everyone all of a sudden. They’ve did just fine for a long time without SJWs pulling this BS of thinking this is what we need to do in video games.

Mei is early 20’s. Would you be feeling good shooting to a 8 years old kid?
Well, the internet doesn’t care lol
Yoko Littner, 14 years old, 1999 r34 images
Megumin, 14 years old, 588 r34… you get the point
I can go on forever, in all reality the internet is going to do its thing regardless of age o the character lol
Also the ESRB rating considering you’d be killing children. Not to say being scared of the r34 isn’t part of it.
She is actually 31. 40-ish if you count Cryo-Stasis
