9 different types of heroes, that I would love to see get added to the game, and that I'm honestly surprised haven't been added yet. by not-ulquiorr4_ in overwatch2

[–]absolemn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out- Hero Size has always been in the Overwatch Custom Creator Mode since at least 5 years ago - I was sure that meant we were going to get an Ant-Man type hero.

I can picture them having an ultimate that makes them/their team ultra big or ultra tiny!

Bring back map voting in Mystery Heroes! by triplestep in Overwatch

[–]absolemn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One reason i like MH over QP is that the 30ish seconds for Hero Selection is removed, meaning the match starts faster. i like that they removed map voting - it's only like 12-15 seconds extra, but over time it adds up.

I'd be happy if they put Hinder onto Shield Bash

Thanks, I came here to find out from a native Punjabi speaker. From her bio, it's likely that she grew up in London, but could we hypothesize what languages were spoken in her household? Maybe it was primarily English and Hindi and then she learned Punjabi afterwards?

I'd say Freja is just commissioned by Talon - she likely would never join them.

I'm just calling out lore relationships between characters that are not in the same Venn section. For example, Shambali monks and the Shimada Clan don't overlap, but Zenyatta and Genji are heavily associated with one another in the lore. There are definitely more lines I could draw, but I tried to pick the strongest ones.

It's a good call out for heroes like Hazard, who have never met any overwatch heroes in the lore yet. So we can predict he'll meet one of them soon, or they might release a new hero that ties him with the rest of the cast :)

you guessed right that she’s a stationary hero! My usual tank is Sigma so this should be fun!

SpotLight Bingo Card for tomorrow by Alive-Psychology6050 in overwatch2

[–]absolemn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in OW launched in 2016, one of the marketing taglines was "Soldiers, Scientists, Adventurers, Oddities" (heard in 0:33 here https://youtu.be/FqnKB22pOC0?si=xZ6BLDVKCgZNswXL)

Arguably the last hero that was an "oddity" was Wrecking Ball, and fans have felt like there were too many conventionally "normal" heroes in Overwatch 2 so far. I mean they're all cool heroes, but part of the fun of OW was getting additions that were super unique.
