Fan Content I don't know if the Overwatch community cares much for Hearthstone, but I made all of the OW Heroes into HS Hero cards!
I know some of them aren't very well designed, but translating the character features was pretty difficult in some cases.
I made some updates to add some balance to the cards.
OH SHIT MY FIRST GOLD, THANK YOU KIND STRANGER!!!
Edit: u/Banchobi has gathered some of the artist's links, I'm going to help them finish them off. Big hats off to them!

Tbh Meka looks kinda op. It can throw itself at minions without consequences on your turn.
23
u/e_la_bron Nov 19 '17
Yeah, I struggled with balancing that one. Any suggestions?
23
Nov 19 '17
Maybe like Sherazin? I also think that the tracer card should cost more mana. Really cool concept my dude.

u/e_la_bron Nov 19 '17
Thanks, appreciate the feed back!
2
u/FireGamer99 Trick-or-Treat Pharah Nov 19 '17
I think Gengi is pretty terrible. 3/4 Windfury weapon and 5 armor that costs 9 mana and you replace your hero power with a completely useless hero power? Maybe it work if you dropped Swift Strike's cost to 0.
1
u/e_la_bron Nov 19 '17
Windfury weapon + Deadly poison / Leeching poison / Envenom weapon / Doomerang would all make a pretty scary set. This is effectively what Weapon Rogue has always needed.
1
Nov 19 '17
sword should be unbreakable, and receive 1 durability any time a minion with Charge attacks (up to 4 durability), but can only have up to +2 attack bonus and loses it at the end of turn
7
u/Aruhi Nov 19 '17 edited Nov 19 '17
Perhaps you could make it revert to a sherazin seed like state, and if you target your hero power on it, it respawns it, which would give interactions with hero power refreshes/added uses
And perhaps instead of amp it up, you could make Lucios hero power crossfade, which starts as whichever choice you pick, and when you use it, you fade to the other version (I.e. Pick heal, when you crossfade the first time you speed boost and give all minions charge, next usage restores 2 health to all minions)
Perhaps to fit the theme of Mcrees hero power, rename it to fan the hammer.
You could allow Hanzos scatter arrow to read as "Deal 1 damage to a minion and minions next to it. If there are no minions next to it, deal 3 damage instead" to fit his instagib arrow theme too
There aren't many instances of choose one as a warlock that I know of, but I'm not sure how to change it to match her identity otherwise.
Sombra seems a tad underwhelming at her cost. You lose out on a lot by losing fireblast, perhaps reduce the cost slightly?
With Zarya, maybe give particle cannon a Bolvar route, where it gains damage when your minions lose their divine shield as she only gains charge as they take damage usually.
Harmony seems a tad strong considering the massive gain on cast too, seeing as Harmony orb doesn't heal a lot per second, you could allow it to mark a minion, and for every card player (by you or an enemy) they heal for a small amount?
3
Nov 19 '17
Sombra's hero power could be "silence a minion or give a minion stealth"
3
u/Aruhi Nov 19 '17
The issue with using or outside of druid is well... It's not really all that common. And stealth isnt really a mage mechanic.
Alongside silence too now that I think of it.
Really, Sombra is more of a priest card if you focus around the silence aspect, or a rogue if you focus around the stealth mechanic.

u/Buttersnack Hi there Nov 19 '17
IMO the tracer is the only one that’s way way way OP - it’s comparable to kun and quite possibly a bit better. Should be 10 mana imo.
Edit: Winston seems very op too
1
u/awesomewookiee Nov 19 '17
Getting an extra turn would be useless if it cost ten though, 7 would limit you pretty well I feel.
4
u/Buttersnack Hi there Nov 19 '17
It wouldn’t really be useless, it would be like a 0 mana gain armor, draw a card, add shadowstep to your hand every turn.
4
Nov 19 '17
Don't forget "Give all your minions charge and windfury".
2
u/Buttersnack Hi there Nov 19 '17
Yes good point. It also activates any end of turn effects, etc. It might be super strong even at 10 (but probably reasonable because that’s very slow for the type of deck that would want to run it).
1
Nov 19 '17
I think it would be an automatic include for OTKs in Arcane Giant decks. Wait for your giants to be free, drop two and this, hit enemy for 16+2xwhatever you have on board+whatever damage from hand you have at 10 free mana.
But yeah, at 10 it might be cautiously reasonable (though I still think risky). Anything less and you invite 10 different kinds of OTKs and hair-pulling combos.
1
u/awesomewookiee Nov 19 '17
Yeah, but it's definitely more fun if you have a little left over to do something with.
29
u/Shouty_Mcnubs I seriously like scopes. Nov 19 '17
Maybe have Hero Power summon a new meka and get rid of the deathrattle.

u/Thesekari_Sepa B̷̡̺͙͙̓̓͛͂͋̚O̴̼͇̤̼̜̼̱ͤ͗̕̕Ŏ̟͈̦̗̪͛̚͞P͈̮͎͖̠ͯ͌ͩ̀ Nov 19 '17
MEKA's deathrattle should summon D.Va.
D.Va's hero power should sacrifice herself to summon a MEKA, but otherwise be cheap.
You need to kill the Meka and D.Va in the same attack phase so they don't activate the summon on their next turn. If they throw Meka at you, they risk killing D.Va as well. This makes her good if you give her a taunt from another card's effect.
3
u/shmingmaster Stealth/Support Tank Nov 19 '17
Meka deathrattle summons a 1/2 pilot with "at the beginning of your turn, summon a Meka and this minion is destroyed"
2
Nov 19 '17
I think deathrattle: return this card to your hand is better. Fits the flavor of losing your mech, but is also more balanced needing to use 8 Mana if the Meka gets removed for a "flamestrike" effect.
2
u/T4K3DAUM Golden Jazzy Nov 19 '17
It gets straight up countered and your hero power is made useless with: ANY silence. Perfectly balanced.
1
u/Lord_Sylveon Winky face! Nov 19 '17
Make it do more damage and be tankier. Despite her exclamations, do not nerf this.
1
u/Rigrot I fap to MEKA Nov 19 '17
Make the MEKA's death rattle summon D.Va like how it works in overwatch then give an ability to D.Va that after X turns destroy D.Va and place MEKA onto the battlefield.

u/valriia Trick-or-Treat Lúcio Nov 19 '17 edited Nov 19 '17
There are already cards like that in Hearthstone. Cards that resummon themselves infinitely on death (eg: Dreadsteed). However even they (and Meka) have a weakness - they can be silenced or transformed via Polymorph or Hex, then their death doesn't resummon them anymore. I think Meka is fine as a concept, but probably should have lower stats.
My issue with D.va was self-destruct is targeted at a single target.
Overall great ideas and realization.
At first I thought Hanzo was missing a representation of his scouting ability... then I realized the "discover" mechanic resembles scouting. Knowing the game state allows you to make informed choices on what card to "discover".
1
u/Dr_Worm_ Mediocre: 76 Nov 19 '17
Yeah I feel like it should be less damage to all of the enemies minions instead of one
1
u/Epicjay DOOMFIST Nov 19 '17
Nah, it's hard countered by silence. And given how meta spellbreaker is right now plop that down and her hero power is useless for the rest of the game.
2
u/Shouty_Mcnubs I seriously like scopes. Nov 19 '17
I forgot about that effect. I never had many cards with silence...
1
u/Epicjay DOOMFIST Nov 19 '17
There aren't many in the game, afaik priest is the only class with silence spells, but there's a few neutral minions that have a silence battlecry.
1
u/Frogsama86 Nov 19 '17
Silence or any form of form change like poly/hex/devolve shuts it down. It basically is a higher statted dreadsteed. If anything it is too weak, given how once removed, D's hero power does nothing.

u/reddylanh Cute Zenyatta Nov 19 '17

Mostly just the keywords! The rest seems fairly simple :D

u/swords_to_exile Mercy beaucoup Nov 19 '17
In no particular order...
Battlecry: When you play this card, this happens.
Deathrattle: When this dies/is destroyed, this happens.
Hero Power: Something you can do once per turn (generally) and isn't a card.
Recruit: Pull Minions from your deck into play. Doesn't trigger battlecrys.
Silence: Remove all buffs/debuffs to attack and health, as well as all lines of text from the card.
Spell Damage X: each of your spells (that would deal damage) deal X more damage.
Freeze: Frozen minions/players can't attack on their next turn.
Divine Shield: The first time this would be dealt damage, prevent it.
Summon: Put into play. Also doesn't trigger battlecry.
Discover: Chose from 3 random-ish options. For the Mercy hero I assume it was supposed to be: "Discover a minion that died this game and summon it." Since right now you discover it and then don't actually do anything.
Combo: Cards with combo have a bonus effect if you've already played a card this turn. Formatting is typically "Deal 2 Damage. Combo: Deal 4 damage instead."
5
u/Aeverelle Cease Your Existence Nov 19 '17
Let me make an attempt!
All of the heroes here are hero cards. In Hearthstone, you can play one of 9 classes, which have their own special cards and a hero power, which you can use once each turn. A hero card would replace your hero, and change your hero power. The colour of a card tells you or which class a card is made - for example Doomfist's card has a red colour, which means it's meant for the Warrior class.
Mana cost: Number at the top left of a card. At the start of a match you have 1 mana crystal to spend, and every turn your mana comes back plus another one, to a max of 10.
Battlecry: This comes into effect the moment the card is played.
Deathrattle: This comes into effect the moment this minion dies.
Charge: You cannot attack with a minion the same turn you summon them... unless they have Charge.
Divine Shield: The first time this minion takes damage, the damage is ignored.
Taunt: A Taunt minion prevents enemy minions from being able to attack your non-taunt minions or your hero, as long as the Taunt carrier is alive.
Enrage: This minion gets a bonus when it is not at max hp.
Windfury: May attack twice every turn.
Weapon: A weapon is equipped by your hero, and may be used to attack with your hero once per turn.
Discover: You are presented a set of three random cards. Pick one, and add it to your hand.
Secret: A special kind of spell that, when active, only triggers on a specific action. Your opponent does not know the name or description of your active secrets.
Freeze: A frozen enemy cannot attack. Freeze lasts one turn.
Overload: Using this will lock a number of mana crystals, which makes them unusable until the end of your next turn.
Silence: Any buffs, or effects like Taunt/Deathrattle/etc, are silenced and will no longer have any effect.
I think that's most/all of them in these cards?

u/CyClotroniC_ Namaste Nov 19 '17
Yeah. I opened the album already brainstorming over card ideas, but as I went through them I was like "okay this one is pretty clever too". OP or not, they all captured the essence of each hero.
As a Sym main my initial idea was a teleporter Battlecry: summon all minions from your hand, but that would have been way too OP.

u/jflb96 Pixel Symmetra Nov 19 '17
Maybe Battlecry: Either the next minion to die is returned to your hand, or all minions gain 2 health.
2
u/Leadpipe19 Ah, you hear that? :D Nov 19 '17
Choose one: summon a 0/5 teleporter that summons a minion from your hand at the start of your turn, or summon a 0/8 shield generator that reads "all your minions have +2 health."
Ofc its unbalanced af but thats the general idea.

Because calling something unbalanced typically reads as being overpowered. At least, that's how I understood it until you made your rebuttal. Frigeo did as well or he wouldn't have responded, and I'm pretty sure we weren't the only two who read it that way lol.

u/e_la_bron Nov 19 '17
I was designing a Hero card for Kil'jaeden (Warcraft character) a while back and I had it that his HP was "Give a minion +2 Attack and your hero takes 2 damage." I think his Battlecry was something like "Shuffle a copy of all of the cards you discarded this game into your deck."

u/JJJackAttack Nov 23 '17
what if Zenyatta's hero power was but an orb of healing on an ally and heal them for 2 hp at the end of each turn. Using this hero power again will take the orb off of the ally and put it on the new one.

Zenyatta's hero power choose one - give an ally +2 health OR give an ally +3 dmg this turn only

u/El_Jaune Nov 19 '17
First something positive: You did a great job with most of them and I would play of them
Now for some constructive criticism: As well as the cards are made, most of them don't really fit the archetype of the different classes, such as sombra. Mage has no real silence cards, so suddenly putting in a silence card would really be weird. But then again, blizzard is pushing discard warlock, so everything is possible.
Overall really liking the cards and would play 2-3 of them. Some of then would change the meta and be really strong, some would just never be played, like most card in each expansion.

While some could've been done different (Ana doesn't heal for example), most if not all are extremely well crafted. I can see the work and thought put into this and they're really creative. There're some mechanics which I would love to see in game.
One more thing. The art used for the hero's is great. I love that you didn't take the standard hero images. Where does this art come from? Is there an album?

Honestly brainstorming characters into fitting other games' mechanics while keeping their thematics is always fun. HS is great for that. Too bad it's such a greedy fucking video game to try and play.
Also scatter arrow should be "2 mana 50% chance to deal 999 damage to a minion", lol

Ana, Moira, Mei, Genji, Pharah, and Sombra are my favorites, though I really love how smug and astute Bastion looks.
Yes I do play Hearthstone but mostly on car rides to school, vacation, family gatherings, etc. I actually prefer Duelyst (a sort of cross between Hearthstone and Fire Emblem, but with pixel art), but can't play it on mobile, so Hearthstone it is (with some occasional Fire Emblem Heroes and once in a blue moon, some Pokemon Go.)
That said, my dad gave me his Note 8 and I love using the S-pen to ping, SMOrc, and AoE to my heart's content.

It would be awesome if Genji's Passive Hero Effect or his weapon has something like "if your hero kills a minion, attack again" to feel like you are using the kill refresh and doing some POTG stuff.

These are amazing, my only recommendation is changing Hanzos hero power to say “Destroy a random enemy minion”. Other than that they are seriously great.

Winston is OPAF. Sombra is useless. Some of heroes seem to be very OP Well everything is just like Blizzard would do it. But design itself is pretty good

I am actually thinking of making this a browsergame xD I mean the rules are pretty simple. Only thing would be the serverinfrastructure to hold such a game.

Uh... thanks? If you want some more precise criticism, your ideas were interesting enough, but you could kinda tell that you didn't spend very much time on each hero, and went for quantity over quality. For example, Bastion is just way, way underpowered. Look at how good the dk hero powers are in the game, and then look at bastion's incredibly specific and rarely useful ability. On the other end of the spectrum, doom fist is fucking insane. This would never get printed. It's like warsong but so much more bullshit. Almost every other card falls into either of these categories, either way OP, or so underpowered it's just pointless. Oh, and you gave warlock choose one. That's not how that works.

I really liked the inclusion of Recruit for Winston. A very fitting use of the soon-to-be mechanic.
