Before you go ranting that, “we already have enough DPS characters”, you are right. But, since Ashe we have only had tanks and supports being added to try to balance. I wouldn’t be surprised if Blizzard Added 2 supports, 2 tanks, and then a DPS as the hero rotation.
With that said, a long range caster would be cool, or something along those lines.
A none dps hero, either support/tank till they can compete with the number (16 btw) of dps what we have now atm.
(Regardless if this is a ideas for new dps thread.)
I would like to see zero new DPS, but if we must, I suppose a hero with a weapon that ignores shields would be interesting, like Winston’s gun or a melee weapon.
A DPS that is based on stealth, and deverision. Not so much like Sombra with her invsiiblity. The character could make holographic decoys of themselves, or other team members. Use the decoys to lead enemies into ambushes, or away from a specific area.
I’d still love for there to be a Xenomorph-like hero. Maybe a flanker, but for defense?
Free wall/ceiling climb (with changing camera angles), invisibility while not moving, and powerful (but telegraphed) melee attacks. Maybe warn enemy players that the hero is hiding somewhere nearby with a sound cue, but make the range just large enough that pinpointing their location is difficult.
I’m surprised we still don’t have a damage over time hero, maybe using fire, or poisons. Ana kinda has a bit on her gun, and ashe’s little tnt, but it’s not like their entire theme.
