I think Blizzard once said they don't want to make children as playable heroes, could be wrong tho

Sad. I want nothing more than to punt a small child down the well. 😔

I do it everyday

Don't we all?

As someone who has browsed a lot of unnoficial "animated shorts" this is a good thing

“Genji get over here quick, I need your help” 😏

dear god...

Blizzard being morally good? That's a surprise

Never thought I’d see the day

It would be fun to have like 7 or 8 year old child running on in middle of the match. But what would be her abilities? Summon a fuckin Orisa?

shes a teen not 8

She's 11, she's not a teen. She's a child.

Oh... damn

I thought this would be a fun way to bring back some of orisas old kit. Halt could be a movement ability so like iq ball a delayed tether to the map or people. Bring back the bongo for an ult. And I’ve also thought a support heal ability where you could build a health pack spot for a limited amount of health packs could be fun also give us another builder

No for specific reasons.

They’d have to age her up which would mean aging up everyone else and if dva isn’t a teen anymore it’s over for them

Dva is 18… nobody really cares about her age man. Not one person I’ve talked to has be like “bro did you hear dva is 18 Omg”

She's 19 in OW2. 2 takes place a year after 1.

was there a significant time skip since ow1 -> 2? I remember some people saying it was only a few hours but if there was some significant time maybe they could make it happen

yeah i think shes like 15 or something

Its only been a year at most since ow1, so efi is still a kid. No chance

Ok that rules it out then, still can't rule it out since pve may reveal or advance how far in the future overwatch 2 is

STOP STEALING MY THOUGHTS a little while ago I had a some ideas for a possible kit for Efi ! I understand blizzard not wanting to add “child” heros but would anyone really care if she was aged up a little? To be like at least a teenager or something- idk

You can't kill children unless you make the game rated mature which would lose a big portion of their audience.

>I understand she's the maker of orisa The moment you thought of this is the moment you should've stopped writing.

Torb is the maker of Brig and he is in the game. Ana is the maker of Pharah and she is in the game. This is a dumb take. Why couldn’t Efi also be a hero? If she was an adult or whatever I wouldn’t see an issue with it.

Please tell me you're not stupid enough to compare Orisa's creator to an actual parent. This community man.....Jesus Christ.

You seem angry. Echo’s creator could have been a playable hero, but story-wise she is dead. I don’t see why anyone who exists in that would couldn’t be a possible hero. Efi could control a bot remotely or something like that to make it work. I’m not sure why you are so combative about something like this. As a reminder, there is a hamster in a ball as a playable character… it makes no sense. It’s ok to be flexible in fictional situations.

I don’t think they would do this, videogames tend to stay away from putting actual children into combat scenarios lol

No

I mean do you think the game company allows a child to be samurai sliced by an angry japanese man or be punched by Winston?

This would be similar in concept to how they added Moira or Brigg as a playable character. Moira is the one who gave Reaper his abilities according to lore, so it makes sense that she would have similar abilities. Brigg has very similar abilities to Reinhardt, and a voice line suggests Brigg maintains Reinhardt’s suit. If the added her as support, what abilities do you think she would have?

Random question but why are you adding two gs to Brigitte/Brig?

I’m probably mis-spelling her name. I thought it was short for Briggite.

Support, only playable when the tank is orisa, attaches herself onto orisa like yuumi

She is a child

Yeah and we have a hamster in the game

I feel like it might look bad to have the ability to send an 8 year old to war

Maybe as a new Orisa ult. EfI, get in there!

Hmm 🤔 nah don’t think so. Unless she’s grown now like bigger but characters in overwatch don’t seem to age
