Here's my idea. A new support healer. He'd carry around a huge tank of green biotic gel on his back, has a weapon that looks like a power washer sprayer. Primary fire - shoots out a stream of gel in an arc, like a combo of Junkrat and Mei. Gel heals allies and damages enemies. Alt fire - shoots out a pressurized stream that goes farther with less arc, but heals/damages slower. Shift ability - Gel Puddle, drops a big puddle of gel on the ground. Allies who stand in it are healed, but it shrinks as more people heal from it. Enemies who walk through it are slowed. Lasts 20 seconds or until consumed. E ability - Gel Tether, fires a sticky blob of gel at an enemy, applying a strong slow. They cannot sprint/d.va rocket/crossfade to move faster while tethered. Moving far enough away from the point they were hit or after like 10-12 seconds removes the effect. Ult - fires a massive orb of gel into the air which explodes, creating a large area (Mei ult-sized) of constant healing/damage for several seconds. Sort of a mix between Reaper and Zenyatta but a bit weaker than either one.

Instead of building turrets and dispensing armor, he lassos teammates with his winch and sticks them to himself as human shields. If you manage to shoot past them and kill him, it's like a bomb went off in a clown car.

Scotlander posted:On the subject of the devs making changes, on the last Overview podcast it was mentioned that there is a pro-player discord, that has most of the top Western pros in it as well as a couple of the lead developers. Apparently Slasher(Rod Breslau) found out that the devs reached out to the pros on the discord for their thoughts on the last PTR patch, but only got answers from 2 players. He's been bugging every pro to give their two cents to the devs on this patch, which might be the reason for the quick reversal of a couple of the changes. The zenyatta discord change especially didn't seem to be well liked by most of them. Polling pro players is spotty but anything that gets them to balance more for the top level of play is good.

I want a tank that can taunt which aimbots the target player to you exclusively. Make that same tank not have a shield to balance it to a nice risk/reward level and make the range about 5-10 yards.

It would be totally worth the extra balancing required for the fun of just letting Mercy shoot her pistol in one hand and heal/buff in the other at the same time.

Shooting and controlling a beam at the same time sounds really awkward to me and I hope they don't do it.

dogstile posted:Click on ally = beam. Do not require it to be held down You can even already do this in the control options for Mercy. Give the woman her pistol in her left hand, shooting with left click, and just have her right-click select her heal/buff ally and [E] to toggle between types, boom Battle Mercy online.

Rename Mercy to No Mercy, let her dual wield her pistols and guardian angel to enemies and while reloading she does some sweet staff melee combos.

Make Mercy the only one who can ignore anti-heal and wake people up from stuns and stuff. Also fill the maps with little glowing points she can guardian angle too even if there's no allies around. Also I have a million hero ideas like Doomguy Quakeman: Has like five guns, faster and more health then the average offense character. No abilities though. Third Person Shooter Guy: Camera is always in third person instead of first. Can do that shoot around cover at the cost of extra bullet spread gimmick. Splattoon: Woomy. AvP and Natural Selection were pretty fun, the hero: Just give me a bitey wall walking jumpy alien thing. Maybe lay eggs so smaller jumpy aliens things can be obnoxious at the enemy. A dog and a cat who are friends: Robots and people are cool and all but Winston can't be the only talking animal and everyone loves the classic Dog With A Knife(or gun) In His Mouth. The Pyro.

Wait, does progress towards the point on 2cp points not decay anymore? A Reinhardt just won the game for an enemy team by walking on it for a fraction of a second. They hadn't been on it in five minutes.

khy posted:If you could custom design a character for Overwatch, what would it be and what abilities would it have -Experimental Lizard Organism sent down from the moon to kill humans. Tank that plays like an Alien from AvP, crawls and hangs off of walls and ceilings, Has melee swing attack, has a Hunter-like lunge to pounce on enemies and rip them apart, breathes a DoT acid breath that slows down people hit. Ult unleashes a swarm of smaller lizards that gang up on the enemy team and can be shot. -Abroad volunteer that got sent to Australia and wound up becoming bitter and hating Junkrat/Roadhog. Offense 'berserker' hero that is great at engaging and breaking defenses, but terrible at escaping. Has a 2-shot scattergun on his primary fire that knocks people backwards, and a wrecked Omnic minigun as his secondary that takes a while to wind up and can overheat, but doesn't slow him down and uses no ammo. Minigun keeps firing even while stunned (super-counters Roadhog's hook). Can pick up spare healthpacks, and uses them in a stimpack ability to overheal himself and become resistant to stun/sleep. Secondary is a locking-on shoulder check that closes in fast but only deals moderate damage and can't be used to flee. Ultimate just fully heals him and removes his gun's ability to overheat and removes the windup. Overall playstyle is probably entirely eclipsed by Bastion/Orisa at this point. -Omnic supremacist villain who self-upgrades. Possibly a former detective omnic from Scotland. Sniper tank. Has shock-rifle styled railgun that deals exorbitant damage and pierces through multiple people, but always has a laser sight visible and only can shoot one shot per reload. Secondary fire unleashes a slow moving projectile he can shoot to explode. Both special abilities are dedicated to a magnetic shield that can specifically target either Bullets, Explosives, or Projectiles/Beams (i.e. Zarya Winston or Mei). Can only switch every 3 seconds and hold up shield for a limited time like D.va. Bullets liquidify and become temporary armor. Explosions Detonate around him and can damage enemies near him. Projectiles are absorbed and replenish his ammo. Ultimate causes him to unleash a lightning field that roots people around him in place and randomly generates lightning strikes. Or maybe he steals ultimates depending on who he hurts/absorbs shots from the most?
