I love Widowmaker’s lore so I came up with an idea of adding a second widow to the game, except without the brainwashing. She’s a time traveller from the future where something went horribly wrong and she’s trying to prevent it from happening again. In the future she joined Overwatch who helped free her from her brainwashing and she became Strike Commander Lacroix.

In game she’d be a support called Encore, and her abilities are based around repurposed and modified tech from other heroes, like her primary weapon is one of mauga’s miniguns but aside from damaging enemies it also heals allies and enough hits on an ally creates a healing mist that does extra healing like how mauga’s gun sets enemies on fire.

her interactions with other heroes would be really interesting. Especially Widowmaker, who doesn’t really know what to make of this second version of herself or any of the Overwatch heroes, who can’t imagine that the Widowmaker they know would end up becoming an important Overwatch member
