Unlike Leonora, a random Omnic artist, the Queen is a former mech champion, Queen of the Junkers, and an important character to the Junker side-story as a whole.
She is the most likely candidate for hero 29, while Leonora doesn’t even crack top 10.
was leonora recently added? or was she always in the game? because if she was recently added then maybe its a hint, but otherwise… (although wrecking ball’s name was in junkertown and that flew over everyone’s head so maybe your on to something)
Every hero has been teased at some point during the 4 months leading up to their launch. Maybe its at the end, like for Hammond. Maybe its at the start in the previous hero’s origin short like Doomfist. Or maybe from somewhere in the middle like Moira. Queen was a large role in “NOT A JUNKER” Hammond, and she was a highly requested and major character before that too.
She is in the background of Rialto. The art exhibit you spawn in is hers.
Hammond was highly requested for a year/Wrecking Ball was a gladitorial mech champion. Leonora is just some artist.
Also, the unofficial pattern seems to be, introduce a hero, release they a year later. Leonora, IF she were to somehow be a hero, would more likely be 30 or 31.
oh cool! still her design looks way to cool for a backround npc. even if she’s not hero 29 i stll think she looks like she would be a cool addition to the cast.
I’ve written my theories in others thread.
I really hope an artistic italian hero. I would find boring, VERY boring, the typical American Thing introducing a Mafia “guy”.
