New Overwatch Hero

[Jessicka]

So why exactly would they add only one hero?

Because adding 5 at once would fuck up the entire dynamic of the game while people got used to their existence?

I'd like them to add 20 and take the opportunity of assured imbalance to fix problems that plague the game already.

What constitutes "at once"? What if they add heroes at the same pace as HotS?

Also, no it wouldn't. That's like, your opinion, man.

At once would constitute being in the same patch on the same day. I don't know what that pace is in HotS as I don't play it; gave it a try but, meh, tried LOL as well but same, just not my kind of game.

Absolutely think that there will be fairly regular implementations though.

I'd really like to see:

Omnic Damage-Class
Shift: Verticality
Ult: Damaging Area Denial
Ability: Immobile stealth, requiring adjacent wall
Primary Fire: Long Range Middling Damage Hitscan
Secondary Fire: Long Range Applies DoT

As long as we're idly dreaming....

Yawn...

More theories, no hard sources like um let me think.. a blizz quote about Sombra being the NEXT hero? Yep i see none of that.

So Jeff kaplan talking about it is a theory? Come on now Jaybait

We need a new sniper, since they've ruined Widowmaker. Make Sora happen please. "Where's Sora when you need her?"

I'd be really surprised if the game ever had 20 more heroes than it has now.

I think heroes will be added as time goes by, starting with Sombra and probably more Support and Tank heroes first, as they are not as popular as Off/Def heroes.

Personally I hope for like a long-ranged shotgun/canon hero, basically a hero who has Soldier 76s right-click shot as a main shot mixed with Mcrees regular shot, not as powerful as reapers shotgun, but a weapon that shoot 1 shot at a time at a long range, kind of like the gun "M1 Garand", google it and you see what I mean.

Basically a rifle, but not automatic and not a sniper rifle.

They do it quite cleverly infact. They bundle them in the core files and then release them with 2 weeks intervals, so that the first hero is properly tuned until the next one is released, think they're even banned from ranked until some time after their release aswell?

This new sniper/support hero can't come soon enough. After the widow nerf most of my games are infested by hanzos. Hopefully this new hero will give those players something more useful to play.

You're pretty much describing Pharah. Though I actually thought that it would be fun to get an Enemy Territory rifle in OW, but Hanzo shoots pretty much the same as that rifle - slow, powerful shots, and his E works roughly like rifle grenade.

Sick of Hanzos too, his hit box compensation is excessive in the extreme.

implying hanzo is not useful....

Yeah, kind of, but I want that rifle to be instant, and not slow moving like Pharahs rockets

Would love to see a support/melee class. uses daggers for close range combat. Can stealth in shadow for a very short period or when not moving. For ulti the support part kicks in and drops a healing well that is a team wide passive heal map wide, but the close you are to the well the more/faster you heal. As in if you are right next to it, you will heal to full fast, but if ypu are not in sight or on the other side of the map you will only gain a little health. if not melee, maybe short range throwing knives.

[Mormolyce]

Support sniper. She headshots you with heals.

You've been living under a rock? It's gonna be a Sombra and is a sniper(ish) oriented support hero

Some people don't frequently check the forums/MMO-C/fansites/Blizzard. Quite a lot of people actually.

Might be better to ask him if he hasn't been living under our particular rock.

In the right hands he is great. Far more people play than have those hands play him though, on any and whatever map.

That I will agree with! I understood your statement a little different
