I want a hero with battle rifle
(medium fire-rate 220 shots per minute, letā€™s say high damage and accuracy hitscan weapon. No scope or anything like that, very low damage drop-off)

Make the Pyro eat really hot chili and fart out intense heat as his ultimate activates and make him say ā€œTime to fart is place APARTā€

It needs to be an aoe like Meiā€™s Primary Fire that deals damage overtime.

Iā€™d like to see flame throwers on a tank hero, like Blaze in HOTS.

Mei should have a skin where her gun is a flame thrower. Then change all of her animations to fire related things instead of ice, like a ā€œfrozenā€ enemy being on fire and her ult being a portal to the fiery pits of hell.

The next hero needs to have his weapon based on mechanical skill, not pyro style

Blah blah blah skill, blah blah blah, salty snowflakeā€¦blah. ON a serious note, we have more skill based dlc heroes than we donā€™t so no. Ana, Sombra, and Doomfist are hard to play, we donā€™t need more of them.

Notice how all the non-skill based dlc heroes arenā€™t broken or weak, itā€™s because theyā€™re easier to balance.

I believe, that after Brigitte release we really need a new hero that is not just w+m1.

And honestly, this game needs a new hitscan with an actual f**ing gun :smiley:
That would be like a fresh breeze

A Flamethrower is an actual gun lol. We also already have multiple hitscan, introducing a type of weapon is more exciting imo.

To be even remotely effective it would have to do the bulk of the damage up front. Healing is too readily available for most damage over time effects to kill people or even be a detriment. Even if thereā€™s no healer, medpacks arenā€™t super scarce either.

They are, much, much harder to balance. Loot at junkrat, brigitte, symmetra, torb and mei. Buff them and they will dominate lower tiers, but higher tiers will stay safe, and nerf them they will still be good at lower tiers, but very hard to get value in GM (pre buff junkrat to post buff, brig torb mei and sym in general).

It does not launch projectiles nor is it a weapon, itā€™s a glorified blowtorch that looks like itā€™s straight out of Star Wars.

God, I want one xd.

What i believe this game needs, is a mid-long range hitscan weapon (a firearm), because this is what it lacks. Seriously, the only weapons that can fit in these scheme is:
  1. S.76 pulserifle
  2. Mccree Peacemaker
  3. Ana biotic rifle (only when scoped tho)
  4. Widows Sniper rifle
    5. It's really not that much
