A friend and I were discussing the possibility of Blizzard releasing the other members of MEKA as playable heroes. At first I was skeptical, but after watching the cinematic, I would be interested to see a full MEKA squad in overwatch. Here’s some ideas about the members of MEKA (remember, these are only based on their looks, but feel free to add ideas about their abilities!)
Jae-Eun / Casino
- Role: DPS (His mech has a very speedy look; the cockpit resembles a jetski. Perhaps the mech would be much smaller in game)
Yuna / Dmon
- Role: Tank (Her mech’s appearance just screams tank. The height is greater than the other mechs, her mech has fortified legs, and the cockpit - or body - is much larger)
Seung Hwa / Overlord
- Role: Support (Seung Hwa’s mech seems to have a significantly different design when compared to the other mechs. Different design probably means his mech serves a different purpose. Although we can’t see much of his mech, his mech doesn’t strike me as a combat-focused mech. The mech seems to carry more features and gadgets than the other mechs. For example, his mech has a tiny robot that tails him. I suppose these gadgets are used to provide support for the M.E.K.A. squad - either healing or damage boosting.)
As for Kyung Soo / King, I’m not sure what role he’d assume in the overwatch roster. His mech doesn’t seem to have any characteristics that make his role obvious. What do you guys think? Is King a tank, dps, or support?
Do you guys think Blizzard will actually add these M.E.K.A. heroes? If so, what would their abilities be?
Edit: Seems like most people are focusing on the probability of the MEKA members becoming playable heroes, but I’m interested in what people think their abilities would be, or if they have any other ideas about the heroes.

Maybe later. They teased Hammond long before he got added.

Blizzard already told us that D.Va is one of the most hardest heroes to program, because of her conception, If they put one of them will be a one piece hero like Hammond, but i think they should not do this. Why? Because they failed with D.Va’s lore, putting another “token hero” is a waste of work.

Nope sorry man, you missed the interview: (Must see) The interviews
tbh i dont really care if they add them or not i just wanted to see other ideas
D.Mon is the one I would be most interested in. She doesn’t look like she would be nearly as mobile as the others, but possibly still have some short dashes.

I actually see king as dps. He has missles for heavy artillery, I can see Him being ranged
casino I see as a support. That uses speed to maneuver from ally to ally to heal them up. Green also usually signifies healing in games
But yes 100% I want them in the game

Yo creo q la pasiva de ser la misma teniendo en cuenta q son mekas de la misma generacion
True but id never call that a given though, when everyone was expecting Doomfist we got Orisa and there was no tease for her up until it actually came to release.
Yeah they really haven’t followed a set pattern have they?
Only pattern I know of is the release dates - March, July, Nov
Meaning Nov could be the Junker Queen like people are expecting or could be a curveball and be (just noticed your name haha) D.Mon. Though in all honesty as much as Id like that, I think Hammond was the “curve ball” this time and JQ will be in Nov…

Yeah I’m really anxious who it’s going to be. Personally my hopes are for D.mon. Surprises surprise right? Lol

Theres no way the meka squad or at least some wont make it into game. The meka are modelled, im sure when they were kicking ideas around of Dva changes they have many variations that would take form in the meka squad, just a matter of when rather than if on the case of them.
Ill hold out hope but I am expecting the JQ tbh and I really couldnt care for her atm haha

Yeah I would love to see them all. I was originally going for Queen but looking at D.mon for the tank slot. I just like her character so much more and think her mech just looks way more amazing. I can see her also getting a junker mech skin in the future too anyways for the rugged look. It’s kinda similar to the mech that’s next to the queens

I could see King being either dps or an off tank similar to Roadhog (basically big fat dps). He seems to be the long range artillery guy of the meka squad judging by the name of his mech (Singijeon), the missile pods (larger than D.Va’s) and what looks like railguns for main weapon.
Imagine if you could mark and area then launch your missiles to bomb it, that would be so cool.

I noticed today that the bottom of casinos mech is open.
That’s what got from his too. I can see it being a strong answer to goats comp honestly. Range plus high explosive damage and maybe light vertical mobility sounds perfect

I feel like the ranged artillery makes a lot of sense, especially when regarding the meka name, “신기전,” which is also a form of artillery used during the Josun Dynasty in Korea. The idea of marking a target area and striking that area seems dope, and powerful - maybe an ultimate ability?
