Dae-Hyun?
Ray (The pilot of the KOTH ships)
D. Va Mechanic… nah. Honestly I was actually thinking of taking Emily, Dr. Winston, Max and more off this list.
But I am going to get some breakfast.
(Plus Ray I don’t think is a likely possibility either, how would he be in two places at once?)

That reminds me, isn’t there one older then that. One based off a kid’s drawing or something.
Well not gonna include fan heroes… till that actually happens.
My favorite still Gem.

Doubt they’ll add someone who’s barely mentioned…
Blizz always releases (A) Totally new champs (Orisa, Moira, Hammond, Ashe, etc) or (B) Passively, heavily focused champs (Ana, Sombra, Brigitte, Doomfist, etc)
Since Ashe was out of nowhere, it’s most likely a heavy-mentioned/focused champ to come out next.
Prob someone’s who’s from a cinematic most likely.
Brigitte was focused with Rein’s cinematic and she got into the roster.
Echo from McCree’s cinematic is apparently planned to be one also but is not hero 30.
The only other likely candidate who could become a hero next is the mechanic from D.VA’s cinematic if we go along with the cinematic = new hero rule…
Ashe was female/DPS so he’s more likely to come out as a male/support character (smth quite new to OW).
Who knows though, they could surprise us.
March - Well known and teased up heroes
July - Known and hyped/meme heroes
November - Surprise/Barely mentioned heroes

You know out of nowhere is actually very likely till a hint has been actually given.
Plus this whole thing that was, it’s always someone we know then someone we don’t pattern is already broken with Hammond’s release after Brig. And has just continued with Ashe.
So I don’t think there is an actual pattern.
As much as I hope it would be Maximilien, I don’t really think well have him for a long time
but man, if it were to be him, I’ll cry for one week and probably buy merch of him inmediatly
here the one I was talking about: List of Hero 29 current candidates

I gotta admit anyone expecting heroes to be released sooner than once every 4 months is getting themselves excited over nothing.
I do not see any possible way that we will get more frequent heroes than we do atm.
We might getting heroes faster now, so this pattern no longer will work.

Have any of the Devs mentioned the Junker Queen? She seemed a pretty popular guess for 29, obviously that was incorrect, but I assume that that carries over for 30. Where did she become so widely speculated from?
why faster? Did I miss something?
this vid is about faster hero releases.

To matter of fact my friend.
A pattern IS there, just elusive…
Means nothing now, if heroes coming out sooner and faster.
Sorry man, even though I listed all these Candidates.
I am 50% sure currently that Hero 30 is not one of them.
Till a Hint is given.
