New Hero Designs like Juno

im really getting sick and tired of these new hero designs basically taking all of the OG heroes’ kits, then stacking them all into one character, and make them all better.

and people wonder why the OG heroes are always left obsolete or generally bad. because what’s the point of playing them now that these new heroes are basically old heroes’ kits mashed into one hero and being much better than them? i dont get it.

it’s almost like they took unused alternate abilities from pve, combined them, and slapped a character on top…

nah that would be nuts.

The OG cast is still more popular than any post-launch hero save for maybe… Ashe or Ana.

First, there’s nothing wrong with putting variations of old abilities on a new kit. They aren’t going to play the same just because they have one ability in common.

Second, Juno looks like a D.Va skin. Be upsetty spaghetti about that if anything.

If that’s the case then i would expect a skin bundle of D.Va cosplaying Juno and Juno cosplaying D.Va.

I’m still waiting for powderpuff football skins. Imagine Rein with pom-poms.

That is a reason to be happy to me.

Sym has her dedicated cult fan base though

Kiri has one too and by the looks of it bigger

they are og cast now

I agree with you, but I also don’t blame them for doing it.

If you think about it, there are only so many niches they can cover before they’re inevitably going to have to spice things up a bit with their hero designs.

If you ask me, there’s no winning no matter how they go about it either. It’s truly one of those pick-your-poison situations where people will complain no matter what.

If the developers keep adding more niche heroes, people will complain because, more often than not, those characters almost always end up being very situational, and people will also complain if there’s design overlap with already-existing heroes, where if the new character is just a better version of what already exists, or vice versa, people will get mad. There really is no winning.

Kiriko and Sojourn?

I see what you mean sort of, her movement seems like a Lucio/genji/pharah hybrid…which sounds cool though

Her blaster healing/damaging depending on target is very Ana. Never really liked that, there must be some sort of lore explaining how that works hah

Anytime there’s a “homing” ability like 76Ult or Torbs turret, there’s going to be someone mad about “skill-expression”

Can’t wait for the drama this weekend

What about Soldier, Reinhardt or Mercy?

Which ones?

Sojourn doesn’t appear to be that popular. Seems to line up with Echo.

Soldier 76 doesn’t even have mains lmao. Everyone only picks him after their first dps pick doesn’t work out

And yet, still more popular than the post-launch roster.

To be fair he’s the gateway hero. His kit was literally made so basic so that people from more traditional FPS like COD can adapt more easily.

Yeah, someone said that this is what Echo should have been honestly.
