New Hero Concept: Joe the Accountant

Hello Overwatch community. Got a fresh new hero concept for you:

Joe the Accountant

Backstory: Joe was born in Memphis, TN where he was raised in a medium-sized house with a medium-sized family and had a roughly medium-sized dog. He attended school and achieved average grades and then went to a medium-sized community college where he got his associates degree in accounting. He is now married and has a child named Jim and works an average-paying job at an average-sized company. His unique abilities include complaining about his boss, driving 5mph above the speed limit, and drinking out of a mug that says “crabby until I get my coffee”.

Role: Tank

HP: 1

Active ability 1: Check Phone

Joe will take his phone out of his pocket and look at it to check the time. Upon returning his phone back into his pocket, he will realize he wasn’t paying attention to what time it was and may choose to take his phone out a second time.

Active ability 2: Have a Seat

When Joes feet get sufficiently tired, he can pull up a chair and take a rest in the spawn room. During this time, he can either take a nap or check to see if his family texted him. He can also make a passive observation about how long his fingernails have gotten and how he’ll have to clip them when he gets home tonight.

Ultimate ability: Lunch Break

At exactly 11:30am, Joe can take out his lunch box that his wife packed for him and enjoy an average-quality turkey sandwich with mayo and lettuce. There is also a Ziploc bag of mini pretzels in there, but he might just let someone else have those because he is sick of pretzels.

Passive ability: Cellular Respiration

Through the power of his lungs, Joe can take in oxygen to be distributed to his cells via the blood stream. He can also produce carbon dioxide as a waste product of this power. With this incredible ability, Joe has the power to live until the age of 67 at which point he will die in a drunk driving accident.

Let me know what you guys think of this character. He may not seem super exciting, but he is a hero to his son! And, he’s still more fun to play than Mauga.

Huge missed opportunity to add Harold Smith to the game:

Should really be checking phone to see the “monetary value” of the other team, if not over $160 Usd in skins all damage done to him is reduced by 99%

Hero HP is actually 100 without accounting for Armor/shields and such.

Look at Widow, Baby D.va and Tracer, they are wearing what equates to jumpsuits with some protective elements. So their HP is 150-175.
Symmetra is just wearing a dress but since she utilizes Vishkar technology, she has 200 HP (100 actual HP and 100 Shields)
Then the HP grows the more armored the Character is.

So if Joe is just an everyman with no protective gear, he should have 100 HP.

I actually love the idea of an aggressively average person as a hero. :laughing: Like that one guy in Deadpool 2.

I was thinking something more cynical.

Hero HP: 1+ money spent on skins for this hero up to a max of 800hp

Dmg: Money spent on weapon skins on this hero, up to 200

Passive, heal team for .1hps per Coin value of their skins collection.
