Let's invent fun new abilities, or tune existing ones

Let’s have some fun. This is not a serious thread. Anyone caught debating “balance” will be ridiculed. Sprays tryhard repellant

  • Junkrat

Volley: Junkrat launches all of his loaded grenades in a quick burst. Volley has a 10% chance to jam frag launcher for 10 seconds. Junkrat gets comically frustrated when it happens.

Running Rat: Junkrat now deals 30 damage with the punch he does during this emote, as he should have done from the start.

  • Roadhog

Give a Breather: Roadhog grabs the nearest ally with his left hand, and presses the inhaler in their face with his right hand. The ally heals up to 300 HP, and Breather goes on cooldown. Both Roadhog and the ally remain stationary until the animation is over.

  • Cree

Flashbang: Mac is able to cook the flashbang in his hand, throwing it further the longer he holds it. Maximum distance 30 meters. There; Cree now actually counters Pharah.

  • Tracer

On the Prowl: Tracer gains 25% more ultimate charge when damaging female heroes. Exception: She gains 50% more ultimate charge when damaging Widowmaker. The implementation of this passive ability adds new elimination voice lines for Tracer.

Yes! Make damaging emotes PLEASE

  • Genji

No u: Whenever he gets a defeat, Genji can use his deflect, meaning the enemy gets the defeat and you get the win.
I used this joke on another thread and I am proud to use it again

“The Path is opened” (Symmetra)

Use tele against a wall and it automatically finds the other side of wall no matter how far away, and creates an exit portal Valve-style, and you just walk thru

(enemy can’t walk thru/shoot thru though)

Honestly, if Symmetra’s Portal worked like Valve’s Portals, it’d be a huge buff and incredibely fun.

Imagine being an enemy, looking through the Portal and seeing a Reinhardt charging in it, to end up charging you and dying. God that’d be hilarious.

Or a D.va bomb. Or any kind of projectiles that could get you killed.

Widows could get Headshots by looking through the portal and just shooting when their cursor aims at someone’s head. That would be sick.

Jesus christ I want this to be a thing. Though, I imagine the Symmetra/Widow combo on Anubis, with the Symmetra putting the Entry on the small platform where the defense always goes, and placing the exit on the sort of big arch. The Widow would have a clear view on their Spawn entrance and would have no chances of getting hit by the enemy.

Sigma- Shield rework.

Experimental Barrier replaced with Interia Field Barrier (Playing off the gravity theme)

The barrier would work largely the same as his current barrier. Hold the ability button to project the barrier and again to recall it. Has a finite health pool, with each point of damage reducing its health by 1 point.

However

Instead of being a typical “hard” barrier- The barrier is instead a field. All physical damage (Projectiles, bullets, etc. Think things that would be caught by his grasp), instead of being blocked entirely- have their damage reduced by half.

Think of Baptistes ult, but reversed.

Tweak the numbers (Health pool, recharge rate, actual reduction value, etc) as necessary- ie think of half as just a place holder to paint a picture of what itd do.

But voila.

A new, but unique defense mechanic that thematically fits with Sigma and wouldnt have given us “double shield”, but still would have worked WITH shields, without making them completely indestructible (Shooting a barrier behind sigmas field would extend the life of the barrier- But would still do damage to both sigmas field AND the barrier behind it- So youd be making progress against both abilities at once, not alternating back and forth between the two)

I also feel the field would be less “oppressive” to play against. You could use it in many of the same scenarios- Such as sending it towards a widow to reduce her value- With the damage cut in half a headshot would now do 150 damage, instead of being a straight OHKO to the majority of the cast. However from the widows point of view, instead of having this thing in your face denying you ALL value, you still have the option to get SOME damage out, instead of no damage.

I’ve had this thought for a while. What if we gave torb the ability to throw actual armor packs for teammates. They’d give 75 armor which is kept until damage is taken.

It would cost 50 scrap ( Max 200 ) which torb gains from dead teammates and opponents.

I’d also rework brig by renaming her repair pack to “First aid kits” since they no longer give armor.


Speaking of torb why don’t we rework his turret so it starts as a smaller turret ( Lets call it Level 1 ) and it gets bigger and stronger when he hits it to upgrade it ( Level 2 )

Lets also give it a temporary damage, rof and HP boost when torb ults ( Super charged level 3 ).

Torb would be so much fun to play with that.

Lets not make OW hearthstone 2.0

Zenyatta: I’m floating dude

Passive that prevents Zenyatta from falling/falling into Junkrat traps

Sigma’s experimental barrier reduces damage by half, or:

  • reflects damage

  • is invincible, but disappears after some time

  • damages you

  • is on a meter, like Dva’s DM

  • grows smaller the longer it exists

Any cool effect to make it truly ‘‘experimental’’

I’d say it would be a nerf. It means she loses a lot of access to high ground.

Rework doomfist into a tank and make him just grab you lol

Brigitte shouldve been a builder like torb who makes health dispensers, like the ones in tf2, or some variant of them

No, I meant like, her Teleporter has the same mechanic as Valve’s Portal, so like instead of pressing Interact, you could directly walk into it, any projectiles, you could also see through it…

The Teleporter placement would work exactly like it is right now, but the Portal itself would be like Valve’s portals

Increase Sigma’s self knockback from his orbs.

Effectively gives him a brand new mobility ability. Unique way to get to high ground, or even rise above abilities like Rocket Punch or Earthshatter.

Mercy needs a voice line I can be your angle, or your teufel :3
