What would you like to see in an Overwatch hero?
The more detailed, the better. Saying you want a new Support, or a fun hero isn’t descript enough.
I’ll link a list of all of my previous work below.

long beore they announced junker queen I had envisioned a female junkertown themed character who could throw out explosive scrapbots.
throw a scrap bot (recharging cap of 3) and it would drag itself toward the nearest enemy exploding either upon reaching kill range or running out of fuse. metal-hinged jaws with chompy triangle teeth for aesthetics. sparks constantly coming off the scrap bot as it drags itself. rickety and sparking like goblin technology in wow.
wrench as her main weapon. short range melee. hitting an enemy with the wrench collects scrap. collecting a piece of scrap takes a small amount of time off your scrap bot recharge timer. scrap could also maybe be collected from fallen allies.
tar trap as her “E”. slows movement speed when running through it. synergizes with the scrap bots since they chase you down.
my other hero idea is another science experiment animal like winston/hammond. I’m thinking some kind of gecko/chameleon hybrid that can climb walls and ceilings as well as blend in with the environment using camouflage. Basically randall from monster’s inc but with a short range plasma pistol or somehting. maybe he can grab your weapon with his tongue disarming you. idk. i just want another hero in the winston/hammond category.

Hey, I thought I was supposed to be the one making the concepts here.
I could definitely work with the first one, I think that’s really well-made. Maybe this could be used for Mason Howl, the former Junker King? There was a Master Ian video I think, theorising he could be a boss in the PvE, controlling an army of “Feral Omnics”. Crawly explodey bots would probably be a part of that group.
For the second one, see RottenTail, one of my DPS that can be found in the post I linked. I also have concepts for JetpackCat and Rescue, both are animal-based Support heroes. RottenTail is an assassin-like character, I don’t know why I didn’t give them invisibility though. I probably just forgot but I’m going to say it was probably because I deemed them to be too oppressive with both mobility and stealth.
I’d like Maximilien as a Talon off-healer… sort of an “Uka Uka”/Yang to Zenyatta’s “Aku Aku”/Yin. I think of him as a savvy business man in the backline (throwing playing cards from a distance) that can place “Bullish Orbs” and “Bearish Orbs” on teammates that would buff them in different ways with a gambling roulette ultimate that gives his entire team a buff (Either Full-Health, Overheal, Damage Boost or Damage Resist) but the outcome is random.
Maybe the OW team already have something in mind.
Err, no.
I also already have a Maximilian concept, which uses a combination of summons, bounties and surveillance. They’re in the Support category of my linked post.
Though, I do like the sound of having a buff-oriented Zenyatta alternative.
Don’t you think throwing cameras around the place is a little pointless though? I can understand something like Siege doing this because the map is small but in OW you are either moving to a different area or the information isn’t that useful.
Maybe, but I guess that means you have to be a bit more creative with your camera placements.
Wha?
When you mean camera placements… you mean static points on the map, right? like a Symmetra turret. Like these things are not going to grow legs and walk to the next area that you will most likely be fighting in.
I know. But you could always place new ones, or place them somewhere that can see across multiple points. Maybe even the Payload?
But why would you need one on the payload? Either you are defending and the UI shows you when someone (attacking side) is on it or you are a returning attacker in which case the defending team on the payload has most likely destroyed said cameras.
