Competition - Guess the new hero!

[tired adder]

Hey everyone! We thought it'd be fun to do a little competition to try and guess the next hero - if you get at least one factor correct, we'll give you a temporary coloured role when the kit/hero is revealed. I'll also give whoever gets the most right 200 Overwatch coins, and I guess we can randomly pick someone if there's more than one!

Use this template and spoil your answers, if you don't mind! If you wanna update or change your answer later on, that's fine too. Also don't feel obligated to fill all of them in, just any you a theory for:

Hero or character name/design:
Weapon:
Ultimate:
Ability one (for example, E ability):
Ability two (for example: Shift ability):
Ability three:
Anything else:

And no pressure, this isn't super serious! Competition ends when the kit or hero is revealed I guess LOOOL

We have not decided yet but the role will probably be a light pink!

||Aurelia: Design is that of a roman centurion. She wields a bannered spear that shoots projectiles at the enemy
E: provides a small shield to the ally that absorbs damage and converts a portion of it to healing.
Shift: is a cleanse. Just a cleanse. No invul, no health regen to it. Just straight up, factual, cleanse.
Ultimate: She leads the team into battle providing a small damage buff to allies and giving everyone a slightly bigger shield than her skill to everyone around her.
Ability 3: Her auto attacks mark the first enemy they hit causing subsequent auto attacks from her to deal increased damage||

Also I really like this thread idea. We should do these every hero release. Would be a lot of fun

||Name ?? one of the scientists who helped Mei in doing research that got her to Ecopoint Antarctica, he was not sent on the mission but was to meet up with Mei's team to provide supplies. This never happened though, as her whole base was assumed dead. He later was part of the rescue mission. He is a doctor and biologist, and has funny voicelines like "well you're not a penguin but this should get you back on your feet for now" joking ab the fact that he is more suited to helping animals than people (plus cute vls for healing hamster and monke) also he is shorter than Mercy and has a bit of a baby face which lead him to be underestimated by peers in his field.
Weapon: he has a bow which can shoot similarly to ana, his arrows are filled with a solution that can heal or do damage depending on who they hit
Ultimate: He mixes two beakers together and shoots this charged arrow from his bow. this detonates an explosion that does significant damage and inflicts a poison effect, while giving his teammates a burst of healing
Ability: Scientific Examination, use this on an enemy and they will become illuminated to team members with their health bar and ultimate charge revealed
Ability: Healing drones, similar to snowball (created in the same lab!) can be thrown out to heal with an weak aoe that follows its target
Ability: Shield regeneration, this allows him to biotically regenerate shields, of any kind.||

sorry the abilities r kinda random but they're what I could think of hahaha

||An elf guardian
Weapon has 2 modes. Red wisp that hits an enemy and stays on there for awhile, then goes to a nearby target. 2 Charges.

Blue Wisp heal ally over time. Can heal one person at a time. However it requires no line of sight, just range. 1 Charge.
2 wisps can only be released at one time. 1 heal, 1 DMG wisp or 2 DMG wisps.

Ultimate : She sings out her channeled ultimate which brings a group of wisps to her and then it flies to each of your allies granting a burst of one tick of healing then reduces duration of cc by x%.

Ability one: Throws a yellow glob down on an area which slows enemies and speeds up allies and heal them as well.

Ability two: When a blue wisp is on an ally, recall it back to u and gain a speed boost to yourself and that teammate for x seconds within x range. When a red wisp is on an enemy, Slows down that for x seconds then it blows up dealing minor damage.

Ability three : Blue wisps bring his friends to create a bubble of protection. When attacked, it deals damage. Can be applied to self or allies.

Passive, For each time red wisps that are linked to an enemy are killed. You gain a shield. Up to 5 stacks(50shield), that shield can blow up and do damage according to the stacks u have

The devs gave a hint the hero is gonna be cute. I'm assuming either a cute kid elf or animal tamer||

Hello! Does this challenge include trying to guess the abilities of || the new Meka support? (Overlord)
Or does it not count since we already know his identity? (if his kit was revealed I'm not aware of it lol) ||

||I'm thinking about Hero design here:

So, I feel like the new hero might be fairly Gender™️, if that makes sense? Maybe it's wishful thinking, and Blizzard just isn't brave enough for that, but I feel like they're going to be gender divergent in some way. If, failing that, maybe they're gonna be female and high femme, which I feel like is more likely than a masc-presenting male, so this is maybe more of a bet against the new hero being masc-presenting male than "for" any other trait.||

||Hero design: Most uwu hero of all time, they look adorable, have pigtails etc.
Ability one (for example, E ability): Can give one of your allies a random buff (speed, damage increase, damage reduced, etc.) or one of your enemies a random debuff
Ability two (for example: Shift ability): Could make a clone with 1 hp that lasts for x amount of seconds!||

[tired adder]
