My temporary guess: The Hero will be like a DPS Tank like Roadhog (Does damage the same using different (melee?) weapon(s))
But Unlike Roadhog’s “self heal” mechanic, this “Tank” will have a “Self Rez” mechanic. (non ult ability, the hero has 400 hp and the self rez has a long cooldown like Mercy.)
Still debating on last ability and Ult (seeing where the meta goes and what’s needed.) (Weapon switching maybe)
(Aka: This is my old concept for the Queen.)
edit: (debating on a “Throw” mechanic, which depends on the weapon equipped.)
edit 2: (maybe Ult is some type of song ability…) (Which makes her temporarily like a Main Tank)
I think it’s gonna be about that suit-dude that was added to the Masquerade comic background. I think they’ll focus on damage reduction rather than prevention.
I’m guessing they will make another crusader but with a gun as a nod to warhammer 40k.
Similarities: both can charge, they have a shield
Differences: Austrian, has GPMG or a wrist mounted cannon, smoke grenades and the ability to switch to a melee weapon but has
a bit less reach, a bit less damage but a bit faster swinging speed.
As a bonus he does care about honor but winning and achieving his mission while having a “the strongest will survive” mentality as his men did in combat to not let fallen soldiers distract them unless saving them was beneficial all the while being mostly cold and machine like, the only form of human emotion you get out of him is mocking the cast at how flawed they are, tactically and character wise.
Ultimate would be a defensive or offensive support ultimate,
“more gun” or some form of winstons ultimate but with lots of steroids, charging and melee.
Yea, I too would prefer the next tank to have way more range.
Or at the very least, have a lot of defensive skills that they can apply on ranged allies, like Zarya.
Yea? That’s pretty cool! I’ve been wanting them to bring in Destiny’s Warlock for a while now with its self res. I always felt like a self revive would work better on a support or DPS. They could go two routes, in my eye
Self Revives + Boosts skills and cooldowns - Classic Destiny. You could pop this without being dead of course and just take the reduced cooldown. It would work well for a Support due to the increased period of healing and feel closer to Mercy’s Valkyrie rather than Transcendence, only with more utility depending on their kit.
Temporary Self Revive + Boosts skills and cooldowns - Feel like this matches a DPS better. They could pop it outside of death too. The goal is to raise yourself from the dead to wreak havoc and take a few more enemies with you. The hard part is the timing - after the duration finishes it should boot you back to spawn so you don’t stagger too much. Mercy ideally would be able to revive you while you are still up and fighting.
Thorn Aura. She deflects 50% of the damage back for 6 sec. Reuse 15 sec
Blood Lust. She gains a shield for 50% of the damage she deals for 3 sec. Reuse 8 sec.
Passive: Berserker losing HP increments her damage she deals and her movement speed.
M1: Scrap gun, like roadhog’s right click but with less damage and 10 bullets.
M2: Thorn Dagger, projectile 80 mt per sec, makes the target bleed for 50 damage in 5 sec, slows the target 15%.
