(Mc1412013) #1

Any leaks yet on him/her were about a 2 or 3 weeks away if they keep there planned sched.


#2

Nothing so far.

I know many people may disagree with me on this one, but I hope they won’t keep their promise. I’d prefer them to focus on other things than on rushing with the releases of new mercs in short periods of time.
Besides, if they release another 3-4 mercs this year, people will still demand more in the future. And I don’t believe they can come up with something balanced, original and fun endlessly.

But I’m the guy who feels good with the amount of mercs we already have.

So far, any unreleased merc ability was available offline, weeks before new merc release.

The only ability left, that was able to be tested offline are throwing knives…

Who knows? Maybe they’ll be reincarnated, just like missile launcher?

Oh god…part of me hopes not…I can picture people playing said character just like Maeve in Paladins >.<

Bunnyhoppers all over the place just tossing knives at people…

Ugh… who says it has to be damage dealing? We already have guns…
Could just be a decoy, or a poisonous spread or any other debuff, or just an EMP knife, whatever. Damage dealing would be redundant.

Do you see the devs doing something like that? :stuck_out_tongue:

Aimee’s camera went from being a camera to a weaker version of Vassili’s heartbeat sensor only less effective and leaves a debuff.

Phantom’s EMP went to be a cloaking passive instead of a nade or anything you can really use tactics with.

Just the way some of these hero shooters love borrowing ideas from each other I could just see them developing someone like Maeve and that would give me nightmares in DB.

Turtle’s shield turned out fine. Used to be a lame cover that could’ve easily been jumped over.

As a medic main myself I would love to see a merc with an ability like mercy’s (from overwatch) it would be good in casual since most team mates are to incompetent to pick up med packs.It would essentially be a weaker mobile aura station or maybe the same heal rate but on a rolling cool down like rhino’s Minigun I imagine if her healing was as powerful as auras but mobile she would need to only have machine pistols as primary’s to make up for this, and a low health pool so she dies quickly when she gets prioritised (like she should).

throwing knives are leftovers from Alpha back in 2013

Well maybe that…but lets be honest…it couldn’t get any more useless? lol

I just want a merc with healing grenades or something, it’s been suggested so much, and I honestly can’t see what else the devs could possibly add that would fit

A new medic with some thing like that would be good, even though we already have Phoenix, a walking healing grenade that can come back from the dead.

So much this. I really want a heavy medic or another one with a unique healing ability. Don’t remember the thread, but I was thinking of some sort of Juggernaut medic or shaman/scientist.

I think we need a healer like Ana from OW, maybe all of those useless snipers can out their bodyshot magic to work and actually be useful to their teams? lol

I don’t think asking for leaks is something allowed. I’ll have to take this down.
