....So the Queen wields an Axe (queen as a hero confirmed) (stop hating, it's not clickbait... it's real)

From the leak we know from her point of view she wields an Axe…

And that’s it for now…

Do with that info as you will.

Edit: (Aka Queen has a point of view model, which confirms her. If that wasn’t obvious to some of you.)

Edit2: that means the evidence she is a hero is right in front you guys… so this isn’t clickbait, they are literally using her model as a hero.)

An axe passed down to her from her father before she was sent away for safety

So Sojourn, Junker Queen, Mauga, and Shimada Kunoichi are pretty much new characters for OW2? Got it.

Huh, this is neat. Alright then

Junker D.Va clearly does :roll_eyes: :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

… Honestly still we don’t have solid finishing leads on Mauga or Fox Girl.

But we can solidify JunkerQueen now.

I was about to pop into this and be like, Symmetra has an axe now?

I understood that reference.

As Mafia-like funny as I think that is…

Queens arms pretty much confirm it her.

I think it’s safe to assume Mauga will probably become a character, as Blizzard have said that he was initially going to be released, around the time we got Sigma. But the kit they designed, didn’t feel right for him as a character, thus that’s why we got Sigma.

Also he was teased even further with Baptiste.

She’s likely a tank, if she’s playable. Not much of a shock there.

On one hand, I hope shes a builder tank with the whole scrap mechanic, maybe borrowing from old Torb for helping teammates survive a bit longer w/ armor

On the other, we technically dont have a true melee DPS yet.

On the third hand, there are no support junkers yet.

That’s why Jeff needs to put Link in the game.

It’s a Shooter game, melee-only heroes are bad design (which is why Rein has fire strike and Brig has whip shot).
