The title, what kind of character play style do you wanna see in overwatch that isn’t already exist because I really want a character that’s a proper flamethrower, just a big gun shooting a huge cone of fire. Maybe have an inherent damage resist to fire as well. And I thought it would be fun to see what the rest of the community wants to see in future characters playstyle wise

A tank that redirects damage to themselves
A good sigma does that already
Why not a taunt skill? Like the tank gets damage reduction like Mauga and also redirects all damage to themselves, so the tank won’t just get destroyed taking all that damage.
Combo with genji deflect could be crazy tech
A big ass magnet
Fun..... I want to see us all having fun.... That is all.
Another hazard style tank tbh
You sicken me. Bro looks at you to get kills.
I would love to see a summoner that summons little guys that move around and do stuff. Either a tank that constantly poops out little guys to take away the heat from their main body or a support that sends little guys to heal allies. Cool way to differentiate them from just being mobile turrets is to make them melee.
I've had an idea for a Necromancer character for a bit now. Hear me out. They'd be an Omnic, one of the "zombie" Omnics from Australia, the kind JQ fought in the Outback. Ramattra has that one Necromancer skin, which is what inspired this. What if, in a bid to get some more true Omnics alive again, Ramattra went to Australia and began taking these feral zombies en masse into his ships and began developing a way to undo their savage nature, making them regular Omnics. This Necromancer character would be among the first to be brought back, and would be incredibly loyal to Ramattra for it. Now they can use the same technology Ramattra used to revive him to control drones like a Necromancer, maybe feeding off bio matter in order to keep his drones up to play into the Necromancer archetype a bit. Not sure what role they would be, I could see it working for DPS, tank, and support, but I think it'd be a neat concept.
Hard light horse and chariot that your teammates can ride to point in
I want to ride Orisa
another support that has some form of shield for sure
Symmetra OGs crying
Something other than fucking dive
Me when I cant sit still the whole game and get easy kills
I just want an AoE based support. That's it.
How would that be different than Brig and Mizuki?
Io from Paladins but in Overwatch. More specifically, a hero will a fully controllable pet that can be moved, attack enemies, capture objectives, and heal teammates.
Give me a flamethrower already
Fun fact both wrecking ball and mauga had flamethrowers in their beta kits
Mei 2.0 then?
Please just copy League of Legends more OW. There are so many unique types of characters. I would like more diversity other than DPS does the pew pew, has a movement ability and a skill shot.
I've heard enough give the new character two movement abilities, a self-heal, and something that annihilates squishes... oh and nerf genji :3
I dunno how they’re gonna make it work in OW but give me Singed
A true flying tank. Give me Angela in overwatch
Well you'll be thrilled to know that D.mon is an eternally flying tank with melee coming soon this year
As long as it doesn’t have auto-aim abilities on a cooldown, it can be anything at all.
A true trap setter, bonus points if it is a healer trap setter like in Evolve
Idk but I love this art so much
Shotgun support. I want a support whose answer to being dived isnt CC or zooming away. It's squaring off with a shotgun for close range blasting. Certain supports do sort of have this style, like brig, but they arent threatening up close, where we have plenty of supports who are threatening at range (Ana, bap, illari, zen.) Bap is to emre what I want the new support to be to reaper. One you really don't want to just jump on as a flanker for free (but would be vulnerable to long range to compensate.)
A tank with true offensive melee gameplay, not just hold mouse 1 and swing. Feints, cancels, movement tech. Doomfist is too assassin oriented so landing his punch is too feast or famine. I want something more brawly.
You should try Chivalry. Overwatch isn't the game for those mechanics
A character with a bubble gun like Zarya had during this year's April Fools event
An actual Utiltiy Support.
Could be Sym, could be anyone.
Give me a Support who doesn't heal. We have plenty of Supports that have mountains of it. And before people say 'Oh, but Supports need healing', they don't. They feel like they do, because there's so much of it. But so long as a Support has utility that:
The Utility can provide just as much value as healing. If not more, as these are the kinds of Heroes you'd see true Support CCs on. So things like:
If a Utility Support had 2 ways to prevent/reduce damage OR weaken the enemy, and one of these more longer cooldown, but higher impact, CCs, with some kind of defensive Ultimate, you'd have a Support who's just as capable at supporting as any of our current Supports.
I just want blizz to buy the Paladins IP and integrate those heroes into Overwatch since Hi rez ain’t gonna do shit with it
Do you really want a character that turns people into chickens
They already started doing it anyway, Mauga copied Raum but made his kit not as fun
A mage type hero with no cooldowns that uses a resource meter instead.
Proactive support that is capable of providing some temporary overhealth that isn't just an ultimate
there is enough character imo
Fair
i want someone that has a totem as an ability. Like a bigger, destroyable soldier field. Or someone that places clones. Basically i just miss ying and grohk from paladins
i want a tank that has a sentry of some kind, obviously it would have to be very limited but barik from paladins was super fun i wont lie. we have builder dps and builder support so id like to see a builder tank.
"Zoning" DPS with a goo-like gun
I came here to say this too. I want something that plays slow and tactical and slows down the fight to be on their level. Zoning with goo sounds amazing. Like maybe they have limited goo they can goon out, so they need to place it in doors and stuff. Maybe a goo wall to help block sniper fire, but it still allows characters to pass through.
So Torb’s ult?
Shielder Support, like Karma and Lulu from League.
Some sort of minion/drone character, an illusion character, or a character who can "collect" bullets like sigma grasp, and send it all back as one ball with equivalent damage.
More trap like characters. JunkRat is the only one till Hog had pigpen then it was removed and Widow’s is barely noticeable if you count her. I also want to see more elemental buff/debuff. We have six characters that do damage over time, Mauga, Ash, and Anran, for fire, Junker Queen for bleed, Sombra’s virus, and Widow’s poison mine. Mei can freeze you, Haz and Venture for earth, and Winston can hurt multiple enemies with his tesla cannon. Moira and Reaper for dark, and Life Weaver and Sym for light. I’m not going to go down the whole roster, but you get the idea. The big three I would highly be interested to see would be a character that has a wind/air, caustic/toxic, and maybe another character that does electric damage. I know we already have a variety of elements, I just don’t want another damage over time, it’s kinda getting old fast.
A lot of the older characters are sci-fi twists on common archetypes (knight in shining armor, cowboy, ninja, angel). So with that in mind: Pirate
Anything but fucking poke.
I’ve wanted a support focused tank for a while- one focused on buffs/debuffs. Brig is the tank-player’s support hero, but we need the support-player’s tank hero
A tank that can summon illusions that block damage. A melee tank that can paint barrier shields A support that can heal barriers and constructs A support that can effect cooldowns A support that can lower gravity allowing for higher jumps
A support reparing the shields and bareers
A support with a shotgun. It can heal if you want, I don't care.
an armored core
A builder support. What Symettra was originally intented to be, but better support.
Theme would be part porkour, part
Builds jumpads for his team. Can bounce off obstacles for speed boosts. Major perk gives the jumppad healing. Ultimate is bascially a repolsor fields which blows everyone backwards in a sphere around him.
I want to see a character with an ability or ult that lets them borrow time similar to Abaddon from Dota 2. They could evade death in exchange for a penalty, like a longer respawn timer. For example, when Character X drops to 10% HP, they can activate (or it can be toggled) the ability to restore full health, but their next respawn takes 5 seconds longer.
I would love to see a character that can share their ultimate charge with their team or even just a single teammate. I think the concept is worth exploring tbh. Ultimate tracking is something that people already do, and I feel like it would change the math in a way that would make navigating that very fun.
If anyone knows the Force a Nature weapon from tf2, i would love that in overwatch. Some physics based movement tech with high burst and skill expression. That or parkour in some form but idk how well thar would work in overwatch *cough cough* genji wall climb
Support with 100% CC kit, no damage and no heals. Just be annoying and make your opponents unable to move. I don't even care if they're good or not I just think the clip compilations would be funny.
Either a tank like a Brewmaster Monk to stagger damage, or a dps like a Beast Master Hunter with a pet who does more damage than the character itself. I think both would bring a slight uniqueness to the table.
Stadium.
I loved Crypto in Apex with his drone mode. It was really cool. Something like that in Overwatch would be neat! Junkrat kinda has it on his tire already.
Id love to see a small battle royal style game like apex.
Dragon. Somehow.
I want to see a hero where their ultimate makes anyone in a radius reverse their controls. All forwards goes backwards, all Es swapped the Q, etc etc. this could lead to extreme chaos and really funny moments of ppl wasting their ults
Scortch titan, I want to burn shit and create zone control with barrels of fire.
A tank with Moira’s secondary would be broken, but I like chaos mwah ha ha *coughs*
i want the gundam mech guy from neon junction to be playable
I'd still like a drone based support, like that old hero concept from 2017 Tara (anyone remember her?)
I want another builder character. Maybe a lumberjack who can throw axes and place a log on the ground that he can climb vertically or roll on horizontally? Maybe he can pole vault with his log over gaps/to high ground? Or maybe we could give him a chainsaw...could call them True North or Woodchuck or something corny. I'd also like to see another Junker Hero. This one could be a electric-themed support that helped design the junker arena tech? Maybe she could place a wire that allies can use to get across gaps like Symm tele, but she can also place it in a way that deals DoT if an enemy trips over it? She could also have some sort of modified defibrilator as a weapon for healing/dealing damage, maybe with a passive where she heals an additional X amount of health to an ally when she heals someone below 75 percent? I think her name would be Livewire.
I'd really like another engineer. Maybe one that uses drones... but in a more creative way than Sierra.
I want titanfall or a jetpack cod and im clearing not getting it anywhere else so it would be cool to get it in ow. Some soldier and pharah hybrid with wall running maybe
A true pet class support who reduced damage from incoming fire
How about a support who’s best at making distractions and confusing the enemy team? I mean yeah,they’ll definitely heal in some way or another,but that doesn’t mean they can’t have somethibng unique to them.
