I think you're forgetting a hero that already has a cone blast, short range movement skill, spinning shooty death ult, and grimdark aesthetic

My thought for Reaper is his trait would be 'people drop soul orbs when they die, and Reaper does more damage when he's closer to his target.' That alone is enough to differentiate him somewhat.

Not sure how Wraith Walk/Shadow Step would work, but eh.

The Overwatch hero I'd want to see is Junkrat, though.

Shadow Step's pretty easy, it's fundamentally similar to something like Leoric's ghost walk or Medivh's portals, pick a destination and channel a bit maybe and there you go.

They really should do this, she has a dearth of good skins and most of her kit is visually close enough to him to work.


Compared to LoL and DotA, very few heroes have good skins.

Having just played The Butcher for the first time in forever: Wow is he ever bad.



I got a friend that is a savage butcher player, but he only plays him when I go diablo and his girlfriend goes tyrande. After that he takes abattoir and lamb to the slaughter and I'm not sure what else, and he'll skip the first objective or two and rotate hard to build stacks, usually has them around lvl 10 or 11. After that he's a loving beast. You gotta engage from mounted and save your charge to interrupt or secure important kills.

But basicallly every other butcher I play with is disappointing in comparison.

Tychus' goal is to melt tanks, and TBTA is really the best talent for that. You follow through with Overkill, since his trait doesn't affect it anyways.

Making him collect tokens to Git Gud is not very good, but I think they were trying to solve the problem of Butcher gameplay being "hide in the back, charge, slam the other buttons, repeat." Otherwise Butcher feels OK.

Yeah, there needs to be universal defaults for banner/spray/announcer, and per-hero loadouts can change those or just use default.

Dear Blizzard

Please make a Blackheart announcer pack so that I can have the best default announcer on all the maps instead of just Blackheart's Bay.

Also, consider making the other Nexus default announcers their own separate announcer packs, too, if you feel like it.

But definitely make a Blackheart announcer pack.

They should do a Raven Lord/Grave Keeper joint announcer and have them both comment on your play like Waldorf and Statler.

Please do both so we can tell people their favorite map is wrong.

Mengsk, Deathwing, and Stukov are the three heroes that have had assets in the client for almost a year that haven't been released yet, so he is definitely on the radar.

Sometimes they have assets and completely redo them though. The Overmind had voice and art files in the game since Beta, but they turned him into Abathur instead.

The Mengsk files have sound effects for skills called "Propaganda Tower" and art assets for "Psi Emitter" but it is entirely possible that those are abandoned since they have been there for so long.
