any thoughts on what new characters could possible be introduced for the next big update?
any hopes or dreams you want to share?
what would you like to see in the future?

I just want more Omnics

Fuck I love me some robots

Is that Nigger Johnson? With the power to Nigger-out harder than the rest?

IIRC somna or w/e, pharahs mom, has already been more or less confirmed. some kind of supporty sniper maybe?

I just hope they tweak widowmaker. dont make her useless but also maybe make her a not hitscan sniper with actual dropoff, sway, and a lower fire-rate

Healer sniper and javelin dude seems to be the most likely. Personally I wouldn't mind a healer that's actually somewhat difficult to heal with; having to actually land projectile shots on teammates to heal them for instance

wouldnt mind that

comedy gold man, you said nigger.

No, that's clearly Nigger Jensen, with the power of face-mounted shades for his eyes.
"Ah ne'r asked fer 'dis."

>she's added to the game
>people start noticing their legendary skins and coins being gone
>hear a very faint "DININ DU NUFFIN" before it happens

Why would blizzard do that?

I want a Turok type mother fucker.

Chief Overwatch.

Asspained shitskins pls

Just because you don't like Nigger Johnson doesn't mean you have to be racist about it you bigot.

How about balancing the current ones first.

Sombra or whatever. Though I want Hazmat suit guy ASAP.

Dev team and balance team aren't the same thing.

Also sassy, fat, black woman support when? CHALD GET THE FUCK OVA HEAH LET MOMMA HEAL YOU UP YOUS MUH PRECIOUS BAYBAY

Alright, I chuckled.

Female omnic

how about a nightwing type hero

>Drops Baked Pies and Fried Chicken pickups
>Pies are a moderate heal
>Chicken are speed ups
>Her Ult just has her slam down an Oven and pump out dozens of them for a bit
>Hits enemies with a frying pan, with alt fire flinging an uncooked banana pie at them that will slow them down

look at all that diversity.

gay

Reminder that you will have to pay for new heroes.
"Free" only means you can pay with ingame gold.
But there'll still be a 20 USD option. Just like in other Blizzard games.

You can either pay 100K gold or 20 USD.
Your choice.

Still "free".

almost all the male heroes have the same chin/face structure

>That EVA unit in the top left

I want the kebab remover as a hero

Or more likely Blizzard doesn't outright lie and instead just uses them to sell skins

Source me up.

The mexican in the middle looks like he is about to fuck some shit up.

>Robot
>Greek?
>White
>Robot
>Black
>Kebab remover
>Robot
>Really dark spanish
>White
>literal nigmode
>White
>White
>Mulatto
>Black
>White
I don't see a problem here

you can tell by the lineart which ones are concept art and which ones are filler

the concept art has thicker black lines and less shading, and are much much more likely to be in the game

including

>top left white robot
>guy 2 right over from top left, human with orange visor
>big red ball guy
>black girl with white hair

>girl

It's not a lie.
The new heroes are still "free".
You don't HAVE to pay a single dollar.

But there's always an option to pay with real money.

It's like a steak dinner with a vegetarian option.
It's not like the promise of a steak dinner is a lie.
There's just an option.

And if that option takes far less time than the main course, then well, that's just your choice to be impatient.

Stealth hero like TF2 spy but the ninja concept is already taken so i dont know how he will fit in.

Been hanging around trannies for so long annon you forgot what real women look like?

>black girl with white hair
are we sure, this is truly a girl? i want to believe that as well

It's almost as if most of the world aren't blond hair whites.

And this is just speculation

That looks closer to a guy that a girl.
Still waiting on Source.
>Food analogies

You're speculating before anything has been announced/released. To presume it will be one way or the other is foolish. Form your opinions once the facts have arrived.

that jaw structure is very feminine, also it's overwatch, gotta fill that diversity quota

Literally every other Blizzard game.
Remember, this is Activision-Blizzard.
Bobby Kotick is still the CEO

still hope for how nintendo handled splatoon with their updates

You want on disc DLC ?
You sound pretty cucked.

well, not exactly like that ... even though it really didnt bother me much

Source me up.
Protip: You literally can't.
Precedent is not a source.

Theoretical new heroes I might like to see

>hero that uses invisibility and stealth in some way

>hero that plays like Toby from Battleborn

>new melee based hero that plays offensively and relies on speed

It's hard to think of new good hero ideas.

Reaper if anyone should have had an invisibility mechanic. I would like to see an agile melee class, though.

what are the odds?

What am I looking at?

the newest member of the overwatch team

overwatch needs a character who just has a shitload of guns instead of just a single gun

>Birst
So she's a black chick who spews toxic mist from her levitating ear-flaps?
And wield a "magic" boomerang?

>black chick
are your eyes damaged?

Give one reason why wouldn't they?

They aren't lying because there is a free option.
So the gaming media won't say shit.
Sup Forums will complain, but you already bought it hadn't you?
Reddit will say that it's something to work hard to. Just like how they justify LoL's pay system.

You think Kotick will say "You know what? Let's not make more money. I think have enough"?

This makes more money. Therefore they'll do it.

Yes and?
Where's the source?
Precedent means nothing when the developers behind it change. It's "probable," but not certain.
Also,
>Using Cosmetic currency to buy heroes
Very unlikely.

>Give one reason why wouldn't they?
because it would kill balance and the game so nobody would buy any cosmetics ever again

and league of legends is a free 2 play game where they didn't come out explicitly and say that the entire game is designed around all heroes always being available or it will kill balance like blizzard did

why do all the brown people look like whites tinted brown

so far it looks like they try to be very careful with what to put in the game and what not

of course they could do that, but that would damage their reputation and i just dont believe that this is in their best interest to anger any fans, especially not after they told us that those updates are free to use

well, only time can tell

There are no direct hero counters in Overwatch.
It's not rock paper scissors.

Besides, if you run out of cosmetic gold, you can just pay real money for loot boxes :^)

It makes perfect sense.

If you don't think it's going to happen, or at least that it's very probable, you're in some serious denial.

You need goldsinks to keep people playing.
People even now are getting too much gold to deal with.

asspained racist white virgin

I would like a chameleon like character who could blend in to an enemy team and cause havoc with maybe camouflage or just look like an enemy team member

Maybe he could have a knife as a weapon that does a lot of damage from behind?
Maybe have a french accent too.
It just works for sneaky characters.
Like having a german accent for the healer.

Blizzard is so creative.

waaaah why arent they all white

lootboxes are completely random

if you are lucky, you could get it maybe after buying 100 boxes

that would be insane

because, especially in the case of the middle bottom row, the devs realize wider nostrils and protruding chins/mouths don't look good on women

all these designs seem pretty generic though

>everyone has white people hair or a shaved head

Pretty problematic.

that's most likely a person in a suit like Reinhardt. they seem to only be 36 or 38 years old.

Please no. The spy was okay in TF2, but sneaky invisible characters are really hard to balance. Even then, they're always annoying to deal with

Why do people still believe fake photos like these.

Is this place seriously filled with toddlers or manchildren

An Omnic martial artist.

okay so blizzard is developing a new IP for the first time since the 90's, in a to them new genre, they've got shitloads of money riding on this thing and it has been in development for quite a while and they have very likely went over all the possibilities for monetization

so why the fuck would they go out and explicitly state that the game is designed around all heroes being available at all times if they planned to break that promise(and they considered this in advance)

it's not just that they said that all future characters would be free, but they came out and implicitly said "if we sell you new heroes we are destroying the game"

>You need goldsinks to keep people playing.
no this is retarded
see dota 2

>Joke isn't funny at all
>Yeah well you're just angry!

This literally happens every single time someone says something unfunny

no one said anything like that in here.
its just speculation

besides, those were pictures of heroes from winstons computer, so we can have a glimpse to what other overwatch members look like

I'd like a non shit robot character please.

Hold the memes.

it's literally a frame from an official cinematic

thats a well done nigger character, they should probably replace that obnoxious lucio with him.

Racist scumbag.

maybe just make him a one trick pony

No more niggers.

Another healer.

More than one character.

I really wanted genji to be a melee character. Fucking hate the shurikens.

yeah those robots have some awesome white person hair

thanks doc

Just give me the evangelion at the top left and I'd be happy.

they really should make his melee attack do more damage

or at least when he tries to melee someone from behind

those robots are clearly shaved

>Namefag thinks they're entitled to having an opinion episode

Can we ever get a south american character that is not fucking Brazil.

>Mondatta is recovered by Talon and reprogrammed to preach hate and call for a revolution against the humans again
>Unlike his friend Zenyatta, he focuses on close range combat, but has the ability to buff allies with a ball that grants extra damage and debuff enemies with a ball that ticks health away.
>His ultimate is to unleash the yin Iris that makes him invulnerable and ticks health away from all enemies in the cone of his ult

Sounds fun m8.

white people dont know how to make non white characters, also its all white supremacy.

that's because he looks like Lando Calrissian

The "black person with white/blonde" hair trope is so meh

Asshurt nigger detected.

Go back to ribbit

The girl in the middle row is clearly asian.

>White people don't know how to make nonwhite characters

Spawn says hello and would like you to go to hell.

do we actually have a character from greece?
wouldnt mind seeing one for the next update

A guitarist hero.

>they go out and explicitly state that the game is designed around all heroes being available at all times
They have NEVER said this.

You are seeing what you wanted to see.
They said that the heroes would be free.
And that they wouldn't be behind a paywall.

That does not preclude a gold option and a real money option.

This is corporate speak.
You saw how long they took to finally say what their pricing model was.
They dodged so many questions.

They finally only said the most diplomatic thing they could.
That it'd be "free".

>Accusing someone of being asshurt while being a buzzword using namefag

this is just undignified

Fuckin hilarious shit right here

The ones that actually drawn and are not some weird 3D shit are going to be added in.

I can't tell if you're being facetious or not
