How does everyone feel about DPS having the weapon class? Something strong and unstable, very high-capacity, tons of rampage potential. Maybe on the glass-cannon side of things?
What strategy should a kit like that be designed around?

It is something I have wanted since 2016. I used to believe it might actually happen. Nowadays I know better.

Still no flamethrower…

I hope they make a LMG hero fun, but my expectations are extremely low if they somehow managed to make Maugas miniguns feel like wet toilet paper
He’s a tank, same damage doesn’t apply.
Mei is 100% using a flamethrower so hot it spews blue fire.
What type of kit should an LMG have, though?
LMG’s are characterized to be Bulky, no speed, since you’re carrying large amounts of Ammo to feed the Bullet Hose. So, like Bastion, this Hero will have a slightly larger than normal HP compared to most DPS or just be emphasized on Defense or mid range assault. It is not a flanker.
Stats
HP 100, Armor 150
Passive
Fortification: When crouching and not moving, accuracy of Primary is Greatly improved, reload speed improves and you’ll deploy a forward facing barrier that protects for 100 HP. Moving slightly will drop the Barrier and lose the accuracy bonus. Barrier recharges when no longer deployed.
Primary
Shoot. With an LMG, recoil is high and lowers movement speed while firing. Crouch to improve weapon handling. Has 100-150 rounds. Can headshot but good luck with that recoil.
Secondary
Auto Shotgun. Poor range (cannot exceed 10 meters) but incredible rate of fire. Only good against higher mobility targets with low HP.
Ability 1
Turret Drone. Target ally or enemy changing drone’s behaviour. Short duration with low attack but will kamikaze when battery runs out for high damage. Priority target if it is hunting you to prevent dive bomb.
Ability 2
Air burst Launcher. Fires up to 4 rockets. Rocket will detonate when it detects enemies or enemy objects near it (4 meters) dealing moderate damage. Damage is consistent throughout its splash.
Ultimate
Drone Hub. Drops in a Deployable at the target location that deploys 4 drones. Will pursue any enemy within 30 meters dive bombing them for moderate damage. Lasts 15 seconds. Any drone destroyed gets replaced. Destroying the structure prevents further drones. Drones can be shot down.
You have Bastion, so not sure why you would someone else in that role.

Not needed because TrainingWheels76 already has all three covered.
His gun has the fire rate & damage of a LMG, the mobility & reload speed of a SMG, and the range & magazine of an AR.
this clown COD-bot has been overtuned for god knows how long now, but gets a pass because he’s not Doomfist. S76 is on the privileged list with Ana, Sigma, Widow, and whoever else. These players & devs cherry-pick who to hate/nerf and favor.
Could pull a Soldier/Sojourn and make a reverse Bastion.
What’s the opposite of a grenade and turret form though?
An LMG shooting a whole mag of frag grenades as an ultimate. Lmao.

Make it hitscan and we got a hero fellas!
After seeing Marvel Rivals dps heroes , you now see HOW MANY unlimited possibilities exist . In both Tank and support roster, MR has some interesting heroes and concepts but in dps, it’s 100 times more imaginative. Especially with some melee/ close ranged heroes. Some of them kinda reminded me of old doomfist. Ow dps roster missing a hero like this. But i agree about a flamethrower one and a LMG one
