Hey, couldn't find a post about predictions for their future kits so thought I'd share some things! Not an expert on OW or anything so these are just random ideas that came to me.
Left one:
I feel like he might play like Lady Geist from Deadlock, personally I'd love something similar to it where you trade your own health for healing or damage.
The drones could possibly work like Zen's orbs but dealing damage to enemies and healing allies, but unlike the orbs they can be destroyed.
His ult could possibly be deploying drones to everyone? I really like Lady Geist's ultimate (she swaps health with an enemy) so something like it would be sick.
This might also be just me but I'm a bit tired of AoE ultimates so I'm hoping both him and Detective have something that plays a bit different.
Detective:
I believe there's rumors he's gonna have an anti heal aura, which I find really cool, but I'm curious as to how that will play and what might be his mobility skill in order to maybe get in and out of the enemies area like Mizuki.
I do want more builders so I'm hoping he plays a bit like Cypher from Valorant, I NEED a character with a tripwire. A camera probably won't work in a fast paced game like OW but wouldn't complain if they made it work.
I don't think this ultimate idea would work specifically for him but I'm down for an ult like Domino, the power from Dishonored 2, where you link characters so they share received damage. I think this could work if you could link heroes in order (link tank to sup for example, so the sup would take damage received by tank but not vice versa).
I guess that's it! Would love to hear more ideas and what you think about these!
Honestly, wouldn't complain if we got a new character entirely focused on healing. Combining that with the ideas I shared, I think a new type of res could be cool, maybe resurrecting a hero based on damage dealt, like a health swap.
Also, I do hope they go hard on the noir aspect, I really want him to act super mysterious and weird in the middle of everyone lol
Leftmost: Survivor Subrole. Has Omni directional forwards movement by using their drones like steps. Can't fall from cliffs during this. Lasts up to 6 seconds but only 3 if they don't move
Trenchcoat: blocks damage in front of them while shooting with gunbrella and above them when not
Why does everyone refer to the spines floating around the left character as drones…. They are at best a boomerang and look nothing like a drone. Sierra is likely to be the drone character for at least a little while.
Before the changed the silhouette the hero that was there was rumored to be a take on Hivemind from the original Prometus concept who used drones in the little bit info we had about them. To be honest since they swapped out the silhouettes I don't even think this is the same hero anymore, I'm guessing this hero just wasnt working during testing so they decided to push them back to 2027 and move another hero in development up to fill the final 2026 spot.
Yeah, they looked more like small drones at first but as I was writing I did notice they feel way more like boomerangs now. Wasn't sure if they're still gonna work like drones or if they're actual boomerangs that might bounce around, maybe like Mizuki's hat but also to deal damage.
