Okay look, You guys need to stop adding new heroes. We don’t need any more brokenly overpowered heroes again for the next 10 seasons of this game when CLEARLY you guys cant even balance the current state of overwatch. Just admit it, you guys screwed up. Ever consider removing heroes? I’ve said it once and ill say it again. We DO NOT NEED more heroes in this game unless the game is fully balanced; That doesn’t mean “Oh lets add a new hero to counter this hero” instead of nerfing and buffing the current heroes. Constantly giving us events, new skins, and new heroes isn’t going to fix your problem either. I can guarantee you, Good balance to your game makes your community happier than giving us useless events and new skins.

New heroes creates new synergies. You cant balance the old roster without the new hero in mind.
It’s the only content we get excited for. Recycled events for years in a row and pretty skins get boring fast.

We need a new healer now more than ever actually. Nothing really challenges goats. Mercy would have if she kept her 60HPS and run more effectively with quad DPS… but that is an another conversation.
Stop making this damn post. Seriously I keep seeing people, in the minority, make this same damn post. Firstly, most people don’t want what you want. Secondly, new heroes add potentially new metas which can shake up current metas. Thirdly, someone made this damn post when that twitter teaser came out like a week ago. Stop it.

Define “Balance”… ?
If we only had one hero option (e.g everyone is tracer)… is the game balanced?
if we only had 3 heroes choices in a rock/paper/scissors fashion, (e.g Widow, Winston, Reaper)… is the game balanced?
If 70% of the hero roster was viable, is the game balanced?
i see having new heroes and options as a good thing.
New Heroes can help balance out the old ones, believe it or not
Honestly I wish they’d add MORE heroes. Balance problems in this game are often a result of not having heroes that can fulfill certain roles. The unique abilities from those heroes become a must-have and synergize with other must-have heroes.
By adding more heroes you add additional variations on those roles which increases the counter play to enemy comps.
New heroes help contribute to balance, mate. Since they more or less refuse to balance, I actually believe more new heroes would help mitigate the issue.
If he somehow changes the GOATs situation overall. He will definitely be an worthy addition to the roster and my hero collection.
In all fairness I don’t think even with the original roster this game would be balanced. However I do agree with no more heroes. I’d rather see the efforts put into other areas such as new game modes for standard rotation and making more maps.
All of you are saying the SAME thing. "New heroes create synergy, new heroes create new metas, etc. etc. Lemme ask yall one thing though. Is the game balanced at its Current state?
The game isn’t perfect because it lacks a lot of heroes for certain situations. 
- Pharah has few heroes that can support her in the sky but plenty that can kill her.
- Zarya is the only ranged tank that can protect heroes like Wrecking Ball/etc that play far from the team.
- We need heroes that can pierce barriers, deny healing, and provide protection against burst damage.
- We need utility heroes that can reshape the way we fight in a given match, enabling other heroes and allowing them to bypass their weaknesses. Synergy.
We need more heroes! I don’t know what rate they plan on releasing heroes in the future but I feel like “true balance” will only be attained after we double our hero count. Gutting current heroes in a desperate attempt to erase ”all the bad feels” that they may bring you isn’t the right way to balance things.
But new heroes are actually the easiest way to balance the game… We don’t have any “broken overpowered” heroes. All we have is underpowered heroes because of people complaining that mediocre characters were overpowered. More heroes will always create better balance because it means you have more options to deal with a situation instead of trying to make a tiny pool of characters all entirely diverse but also somehow equal to each other. That won’t ever happen. The game will never be “perfectly balanced” and the game would 100% die if Blizzard said they were to stop releasing new heroes.
