These are fan-made hero concepts meant as ideas to explore rather than finished or fully balanced hero proposals.
The numbers and abilities have mostly been tested “in my head” so far, because apparently my brain is the only QA department I can afford. They would obviously need a lot of in-game testing and balancing, or could simply be used as inspiration for completely different ideas.
What I’m mainly interested in is whether the underlying mechanics and gameplay loops could bring something new or interesting to Overwatch.
One of the main ideas behind these concepts is easy to pick up, but hard to master. The heroes should be accessible enough that casual players can have fun with them without needing to understand every interaction, while still having enough depth for experienced players to discover new ways of using their abilities.
Ideally, I’d like a hero to have abilities that seem straightforward at first, but where a really good player can eventually find combinations, interactions or uses that nobody originally expected. Basically, something that is easy to understand but has a high skill ceiling.
I’m therefore less interested in whether every number is perfectly balanced right now, and more interested in whether the mechanics themselves could create interesting gameplay, decision-making and moments that feel unique to Overwatch.
I’d love to hear what you think about the concepts and mechanics themselves.

Hero Overview
A defensive support who manipulates light, reflection, and refracted energy to protect allies and punish aggression.
Rather than blocking damage outright, Aegis redirects enemy attacks back toward their source and rewards careful timing. Every shot fired into Aegis risks becoming a weapon against the attacker.

A few questions for anyone who took the time to read through the concepts:
1. Which hero would you personally like to play the most?
2. If you ignore abilities, numbers and balance for a moment, which core mechanic sounds the most interesting to you?
3. Which hero do you think would have the biggest impact on today’s Overwatch?
4. How would you personally play them?
5. What hero combinations, ability combos or ultimate combos do you think could emerge?
6. Which hero do you think casual players would enjoy the most?
7. Which hero do you think would become the strongest in high-level or professional play?
One of my goals was to create heroes that are easy to understand but difficult to master.
I’m less interested in exact balance numbers right now (thats the devs problem 
) and more interested in how these mechanics could affect gameplay, team compositions, decision-making and player creativity.
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
But let’s just say it was a fair amount of time and leave it at that
