OW has a diverse set of healers, the methods of healing allies is pretty good but we need to have a new method of healing to please a certain demographic of players.
We have: traditional healing (Mercy, Lucio, Zenyatta), parasitic healing(Moira aka the SUCC Queen), healing through violent actions (Brigitte by beating up enemies and Ana by shooting allies)
While these methods are fun and useful we are in need of something revolutionary. Something we haven’t seen before.
We need… healing through the act of receiving pain.
In simple terms you heal if you take damage.
“So basically a masochist healer?”
Yup!
A strong black female support who heals others by getting hurt from the enemy.
“Woah hold it why a black woman?”
For the sake of “diversity”.
Most masochist characters so far have been pale skinned and making a man a masochist is an over used character type so it’s time we fill in the market of black female masochists
I mean I've heard how STRONK BRACK WAMEN are so who else could withstand the level of pain this hero will receive.
This won’t end well for me
“…ok but how will this hero work?”
In short:
She does not have HP but a damage meter
She can’t contest the point but she can capture it
If she takes damage she will heal people around her like Brigitte
Taking more damage results in more healing
She can’t attack anyone
She can’t be healed
Her only ability is to sprint around
Her ultimate is morphine which allows her to take even more DMG
She doesn't die but "faints" from taking too much damage for her to handle
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
She can heal anyone at any range if she takes damage
This hero is very engaging, very active and fun to play as and against her.
Not to mention the level of skill needed to make her work is on par with the glass cannon Doomfist.
“Ok but what about her lore and how would it add to the lore of OW?”
The Devs will think of something. hashtagnotmyjoblol
