Lore
Francis Grange was a successful dentist and omnic supporter before and during the uprising of the null sector, though was not a supporter of the null sector themselves

He had his own practice and office for both humans and omnics

However, during the uprising, his office was destroyed in the crossfire between the null sector and overwatch forces

Watching the battle, one of the overwatch personnel was injured. Using his small knowledge of human biology after taking a course the year before, Francis managed to patch up the soldier well enough for them to continue.

The week later. He got a letter from Overwatch, urging him to join.

He accepted and became a crucial member during several events in the history of Overwatch.

Base damage, not crits, but can do crits

so the 3 round burst would be an alternate fire, correct?

The ult seems kinda… meh. Same goes for his mirror ability. I guess I kinda like the idea of Vapor, but if it’s a mix between Ana and Mei, it seems like it should be one or the other. Mei’s freeze is not an ability, nor does it last as long as Anas sleepdart. Ana’s sleepdart is on a cooldown, but is instant.

If Vapor is an ability and takes time to have effect, how do you handle it when you get attacked, interrupted, etc. does the effect of vapor go away, does it go on cooldown?

Now… Vapor as an ability AOE sleep is a different story. While not being instant, it has the potential to sleep several targets. Buuuut that seems like a very annoying ability to deal with. Consider that making the ult maybe?

Not sure if a dentist in between a Crusader, engineers, pilots, soldiers, scientists, etc is interesting though.

I stopped reading after the thread title, because I hate his name. But my opinion on this hero is that he sucks

I was hoping he would be involved with cotton candy because “candy floss” and he is english. Oh well. Also medical needles as weapons would be a little to similar to medic from tf2

Is it a pistol that they wield, is it a burst potential gun
