Next hero predictions?

[Arrashi]

Birst is some guys kids concept which a blizz artist did a -very- quick mock up in photoshop to give back to the kid and they just put the art out there for us to see, not going to be an in game character you can play because for some reason people dislike shooting guns at kids.

You can kill li li and have her lifeless corpse fly across the map just fine in heroes of the storm. Also good old "She looks like 8 but i swear mr officer she is 1000 year old vampire queen".

It's kinda different in FPS games. In HotS you're using magic not bullets and a gun...

I've always questioned the li li inclusion but then again I am not looking down a scope or cross hairs to put a bullet in her brain, I am clicking on her or putting a template under her. It doesn't matter if she is a 1000 year old vampire, the thing that matters is how people feel when they see her and have to kill her. Obviously not everyone is the same but there will be some shit hitting the fan from the populace.

Personally I am like the Tick, "But Arthur I can't hit Santa!" Arthur says, "It's not Santa! Its a maurading army of super powered street bums dressed like santa!" Tick says, "But how do you know!? One of them could be the real Santa!"

Well genn is using gun. Also, im pretty sure there are quite alot melee characters, and people are really stocked about physical violence against children.

Also don't forget a situation where a fat guy can chain her to the pole so she cannot escape while he is free to do as he pleases to her.

Well that's her fault for being Fresh Meat!

Meanwhile I'm playing Stitches thinking I just got a compliment!

[Rizendragon]

The Iso PoV of HotS also plays a role in this imo...

This is just fantastic.

We already know by a strong implication based on the designer video feeds we saw that its likely going to be Sombra, who is listed as a support sniper.

As for other future heroes:

- Soundquake (Red Armor Guy, very likely a Tank)
- Japanease Mech Girl (Uses Projections, has a Mech, possibly two heroes that can switch?, seems support)
- Doomfist (Unlikely to be a hero, maybe some kind of NPC based antagonist if they ever do a campaign mode)
- Athena (We know she has a mech out there, either its hers, or something created by her, possibly her daughter? Omincs could consider their creations children)
- Hazmat Guy (Dont know this dudes name, but we so see him in the announcement trailer in a yellow hazmat suit likely carrying some kind of toxin based weapon, seems like another Mei)
- Another Shimada (This is just pure speculation but Hanzo states only a Shimada can control the dragons, there may be more than 3 dragons, possibly a sister, brother, or their father)
- Liao (Named as one of the origional six heroes that fought in Reyes Overwatch, no idea if they're alive, what gender they are, or what purpose they serve)
- Sven (Shown in Tjorborn's Comic, though unlikely to be a hero, its not impossible given his particualrly unique design)
- Evil Omnic Villian (We dont really have an evil robot yet, since Bastion can be considered a murderous piece of filth trash but morally and lore wise appears to be a good guy)
- Brigette (Reinhardt's Squire, she seems a good option for support since she is clearly seen using a smaller rocket hammer to repair armor)

[Mormolyce]

Could use another support, but that won't necessarily limit Blizzard, they tend to just implement what they think is coolest over equal role numbers etc.

I'm hoping if they do make Doomfist, it's a new one composed of the two kids from the cinematic standing on each others shoulders. The world needs more heroes, you know.

They already said Doomfist was never being put in game I think.
Also its gonna be pharah's mom next.

Blizzard never says never!

[Mormolyce]

Though I'm not up on my rumor-milling so I've never heard of Sombra.

I thought it would be Doomfist, despite escorting his Doom Fist in Numbani. Lore doesn't matter. If it did, you wouldn't have Reaper teaming up with Winston and Solider 76.

I imagine Doomfist having the health and armor of Reinhardt with the melee power of Reinhardt...wait, that's just Reinhardt. I'm really bad at coming up with characters.

There's been more than one Doomfist, might be a new one.

[Deleted]

I think Sombra (shadow in Spanish afaik?) could work as a non-standard support like Symmetra. Brief moments of invisibility to herself and team members would be a very solid support kit, would also go a ways in giving Widowmakers trouble with temp-cloaked flankers etc.

[Deleted]

I agree I think Sombra would be more a non-standard support, as much as I love the idea of sniping "healing bullets", she seems more a utility support.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

We need a native american character.

[Sykol]

Why do we need a native American character?

Who else is gonna hurl tomahawks and have an ult where all characters on the map enter a big tipi and smokem peacepipe?

[Graeham]

I just hope there's another classically handsome male character. That'd make me happy.

S76 ain't enough for you!?

Make it native Canadian instead!

[Jademist]

Someone who uses deadly yoyos or explosive pellets shot from a slingshot.

[ManjiSanji]

I was hoping the big red omnic/whatever would be a fire-based area-control tank.

Setting areas on fire to zone people out/control points.../want

[Magicalcrab]

I'd personally love to see, like, a Birst skin for Mercy or something. Just put Mercy in Birst's outfit.

She'd be able to both kill and heel and and and she could jump soo high. o__o

[Graeham]

S76 ain't enough for you!?

He's my favourite so far. I'm using the blond, younger version of him. Once I unlock the younger Genji and Hanzo skins then I'll use them too. McCree isn't bad looking either. Though more options are always appreciated!
