Seven more weeks until Hero 28, or not?

[DQueazius-1380]

Tru tru

Very very low skill floor but pretty high ceiling

[infoinfoinfo-1287]

your point makes mine even more valid.

…Eh?
I just think it’s extremely weird to refer to the next hero’s Live release date when talking about when they’ll show up opposed to their reveal date. By the time we get to their release date, we’re plenty accustomed to who they are and more or less how they play from reveal trailers and PTR play and all of that.

When will the silence end on Hero 28? Something should come in the next 3-4 weeks then.

I mean, yeah, Blizzard gave us a hint on Hero 27 (Brig) months beforehand, but it hasn’t been that way for every hero.

Moira had no hints at all: yeah, post-reveal we found out she was in the Masquerade comic, but not a soul knew who the hell that was or their relevance until we were told. Orisa didn’t have any kind of hints up until like a week prior her reveal.

They very well might wait for ~a week beforehand to give us teasers for Hero 28. Like I said before, it’ll probably be in a month tops, unless they change stuff up on us.

Gonna go on a limb and say hero 28 will be Doomfist’s brother Doomfeet. Master of kicking. Pew pew pew!!! Or kick kick kick???

[Sparkle-21103]

I would imagine it to be the case with the reveal being late June/early July.

[Bendubz11-2740]

We’ve had a couple of small hints that Hero 28 is coming, but nothing major.

From March 30th:

@JeffreyKaplan

And Torb is not on the immediate horizon. We’re more focused on Symmetra right now… and someone else

And from April 18th:

@JeffreyKaplan

We’re about to release an update to Hanzo. We’re actively working on a Symmetra rework.

There are other older heroes that we’ll take a look at as well, eventually.

We’re also working on new heroes

[Churphy5417-1929]

can they fix and balance the game instead???

I agree they need fix and balance the game…

[Paladin-12863]

We literally have nothing, not even the faintest of hints and the hero should be out somewhere around July 20-31, 2018.

Orisa and Brigitte got hints but they were during the week of their release. Obvious hints don’t come until the hero is about to go onto the ptr.

[Lemmi-1392]

do we not? HLC remake and lijian updates ;);). Its far fetched maybe, but could be a valid “hint”. Wouldnt be the first time that blizz gave us very vague hints.

[Zaehelhm-1222]

You mean Sanjay right!?

[Candi-1322]

Please God no, balance what you have first.

[Willdebeast-1105]

New heroes can provide balance!!! Haven’t you guys watched Star Wars???

[Hendo-21641]

I’m going to be so disappointed if the next hero has a low skill floor. I want something difficult to play. I want to feel like i’ve earned my victory.

[SlayerAdam-21497]

Please no new hero, most of them made the game significantly worse, not better.
