Hard Light Spear DPS Hero

Occupation: Vigilante

Age: 20

Category: Offense

Affiliation: The Philippines

Stats:

HP: 200

Movement speed: 5.5m/s

Appearance: Sibat is wearing a hard light armor that protects him as well as provides a platform for the hard light generator for his spears.

Personality: Sibat is a polite and earnest young man, born and raised in the slums and has a strong sense of justice. Loyal to his friends and family, Sibat would do anything to protect them.

He chanced upon an opportunity where he got his hands on a hard light generator. Building an hard light armor from scratch and attaching the hard light generator to it, he created a spear of hard light in his hands.

[LMB]: Hard Light Spear

Sibat thrusts his spear, holding will trigger a thrust-combo animation.

[RMB]: Light Throw

Sibat launches a hard light spear projectile. Recharges slowly.

Sibat’s quick feet allow him to sidestep around enemies

[LSHIFT]: Piercing Throw

Sibat charges his Hard Light Spear and throws a projectile that pierces through enemies.

[E]: Pushing Strike

Sibat attacks using his spear, his powerful attack also launching him back in the opposite direction.

[Q]: Dual Spears

Sibat pushes himself and his armor to the limit using two spears, one in each hand. Increases his damage output for a small amount of time.

Hero Name- Sanjay
Real Name- Sanjay from Symmetra comic idk his full name lol
Affiliation-Vishkar Corporation
Heritage-Indian
Relations to other heroes- Symmetra (in comic)
Summary or backstory- All we know is the little we see of him in the comic
Category- Main Tank. 2 star difficultly. 400hp (200 health, 200 shield, similar to Zarya).

Lshift/Ability 1 - Shield Generator: Similar to Symmetra 1.0, Sanjay can give allies 50 shield to add to their health pool. 8 second CD.

E/Ability 2 - Shields: Sanjay has 3 small deployable shields, each with 600hp. 3 charges on 8 second CD. They function similarly to how Orisa deploys her shield, or how Symmetra deploys her turrets, Sanjay has 3 charges of deployable shields in the size of an half oval (I would say about the size of Symmetras old photon barrier, cut in half. The shield acts similar to Orisas shield, it stays where you deploy it). Since it is smaller and has less HP, it is why he has 3 charges, and can deploy up to 3 small shields at once to protect your teammates. (I think this is a great new idea for a new Main Tank mechanic. Main tanks need to have unique and different ways to protect their teammates, and this is the best Idea I could come up with so he can differentiate himself from Rein, Orisa, and Winston).

Q/Ultimate - Ultimate: Photon Matrix
“Photon Matrix established, get in there!”

  • When used, all allies (including Sanjay) within a 35 meter radius gain a personal barrier (Similar to Symmetra’s old photon barrier.)
  • The barrier would stay in front of the hero and would move with them.
  • Barriers would have 600 health and would last for 15 seconds or until they’re destroyed.

Passive - None

Have no idea what he would have for main weapon, but something to do with Light energy technology.

Sanjay Korpal

He is also on the council of leaders for Talon, which makes him more interesting. Ive always liked the idea of him becoming a tank as well, hardlight can do literally anything they want it to do.

But I am against reintroducing Symmetra 1.0. Theres a reason why they removed giving people permanent shields as an ability, and it wasn’t balance. It just feels like a waste of a button, where you need to tediously wait 8 seconds to give shields, then wait another 8 to give shields again until your whole team has +50 shields. And if someone dies, you gotta give it back to them, wait 8 seconds… Its just not fun.

This is pretty interesting, instead of having 1 large shield, you deploy a bunch of smaller ones. Though maybe you can make them smaller and on a shorter cooldown. 400 hp on a 5 second cooldown, as a rough idea (specific numbers dont matter). Making the CD too long just makes it a worse Orisa in the long run (Hers is 8 seconds), but its a cool idea I’d like to see.

The ult sounds pretty cool. Of course, numbers are something to tweak, but a personal barrier projected in front of you for all allies? That’s a pretty cool ultimate, I would love to see Blizzard try something like that.

Yeah, most of the abilities I’m not sure about lol just kinda made them up, could definitely have a different E/Ability 1. But I think the 3 charges of smaller separate deployable shields is a pretty neat idea for a new main tank

I was quite fond of the very first Sombra design, the one with knives, so I thought this.

Hero Name - Kiku
Real Name - Kiku Shimada
Affiliation - Shimada clan
Heritage - japanese, ninja
Relations to other heros - despise both Genji and Hanzo
Summary of backstory - After the mess made by Hanzo, the Shimada clan was in ruin. Kiku was the youngest daughter of Sojiro, was still a little girl when a conflict for inheritance of the head of the clan began. In those years, she trained, became tough and learned how to get what she wants even remaining in the shadows. Now the clan is revived (they have grunts as we have seen in “Dragons”, someone has to pay them, so it’s still active) and she is the one ruling it, maybe behind a puppet-leader that she manipulates. Her task is to get control all over Japan and to find and kill Hanzo (she still belives that Genji is dead. Maybe after her first meeting with Hanzo she will learn the truth)

  • Hero Name - Dreamer
  • Real Name - Unkown
  • Affiliation - Independent
  • Heritage - Greenland
  • Age - 41
  • Relations to other heros - Good friends with Zenyatta, Dreamer was a student of Zenyatta a couple of years before genji. knows about doomfist and Efi Oladele, listens to Lucios music.
  • Summary of backstory - He grew up in Greenland with a loving family and lhe learned alot in school, he was more than 5 years ahead of everyone else in his class, he knew english fluently and over 50 digits of pi at 4 years of age, when he was 5 he fled from his home to “become greater”, he had his own shack that he made different inventions, and he had been working on a plane for a while, he said to himself: “today is the day that i test the plane, and fly to atlantis!” The plane had all sorts of abillities, wich are powerful in their own way, and some are kinda useless, but anyway he called his plane, Then he started the motor of the plane, that was now out on the big frozen lake right outside of the shack, and he flew. He flew so far, He felt the air flowing through his long, braded hair. He had made his own working power generator, that gets power by wind, so the plane could fly forever, after a while he saw land. He saw a big palace. He landed. He then stepped out of the plane and was greeted by Zenyatta, and as he had never seen an omnic before, he was frightened. He ran away, and he found a cave and hid in it, he then got out his portable bed, and his plushie called “Fadi”, a brown bear. He ate some food that he had with him and then went to sleep, Zenyatta was very worried for the new kid. He was searching for him all night, and of course he found him. Zenyatta picked the boy up, and took him to his secret room. (new 3v3 map perhaps?) When the little boy waked up he was very scared, but zenyatta meditated and that made him feel calmer. After that they became very good friends and Zenyatta discovered many things about the young boy, but there was one thing that he never said, His name…

    Gameplay Details
    HP - 200 (150 hp, 25 sheild, 25 armor)
    Primary fire - Slime launcher - Shoots out green pools of slime that slowly damages the enemy and reduces speed by 60%. takes 1 ammo per slime pool, has 15 pools before reload. he has a 4 second reload, giving him the longest reload in the game to date.
    Secondary Fire - Magic Grenades - Dreamer throws a grenade that heals allies that you hit and reduces all of their ability cooldowns by 6 seconds - takes 10 ammo.
    Lshift/Ability 1 - Brade swing - he starts spinning and his long brades (that are now down to hes feet) grab on to any enemies that gets in its way, and throws them away after 2 seconds, 4 second cooldown.
    E/Ability 2 - Calculate - Gives an ally a pair of glasses that predict where the shot is going to go. works well with junkrat. 8 second cooldown.
    Q/Ultimate - Fly Away - “Im going to atlantis” calls the plane and gets in to it, now he is basically d.va with unlimited boosters, the plane has 1500 HP (500 HP and 1000 armor), its active for 30 seconds, while that seems like a while, its a very weak ult. The plane is primarily used to boop of enemies of the map, as it has a big knockback scalar, it has two abilities, “Smokefield” throws out smokebombs from the bottom of the plane, which creates a field of smoke for 10 seconds, which Dreamer can use once during the ultimate, and “Restore” which gives the plane full HP, which is on a 25 second cooldown, so if you use it once in the first five seconds u can use it twice.
    Passive - Believe - gives everyone in a small radius 2 sheild (very slowly declining) for every damage they take.
    Other Information - nope, i have alot to tell you about Dreamer, but thats it for now.
