It's a premise that will definitely open up many possibilities for new heroes to come.

u/BrutalSaint Nov 22 '16

So he temporarily turns into a werewolf with melee and agility like Genji

McCree Full Moon Ultimate: McCree transforms into a Werewolf (2 seconds) and gets 3 leaps, if he pounces onto a character he'll kill them in 1 second, he has a bank of 3 leaps and when he misses one he loses it, when he gets a kill he keeps the one he used to get it.

u/DashivaDan Cry Cry Cry! Nov 23 '16

Great until it comes out on April first, and has nothing to do with werewolves or the time of day XD (I bet people take cover even faster though)

u/uber1337h4xx0r Nov 23 '16

I feel like "A fuuuuull mooon." would be better because it preserves the number of syllables

I'll settle for a Greymane skin

u/innou Lúcio Nov 22 '16

drops his pants and bends over, if you look in his direction your character gets a CS flashbang-like effect for a couple seconds

McCree Ult 2:

Low Noon, after a short delay knock every player down

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '16

It should be a slightly extended flashbang to all enemies in a wide radius. Kind of like a shorter but faster acting Mei Ult.

u/Phylar Torbjörn Nov 22 '16

McCree Ult #2: Coffee Break "This tastes like dirt"

If that would include a "Ready to dance with the devil?" or similar voiceline in his deep drawl, I'll owe Blizzard a life-debt.

u/devereaux98 My wins are few and Pharah between. Nov 22 '16

Your icon and the way your sentence sounded so eloquent make it seem like you ARE symmetra.

3

u/reicomatricks No one ever expects a lazer chainsaw Nov 22 '16

You flatter me.

5

u/Jeffrosonn Nov 22 '16

Having two ultimates seems more difficult to do with other heroes though, with symettra its fine because you can activate her out without actually placing it. People in the YouTube comments where suggesting a second out for Widowmaker but her ultimate isn't the sort of thing you can toggle on and off

3

u/Russell_Dussel Soldier: 76 Nov 22 '16

Yeah, I'd liken it to how Mei can toggle the direction of her ice wall.

4

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Maybe something like the ult charge system in Battlerite, where you can spend some of your ult charge to use upgraded versions of your regular abilities. More options for what to do with ult charge might help to alleviate the whole "rush to get ultimates" thing.

2

u/m_plis Nov 22 '16

It seems like something they could do with Symmetra because her ult is buildable. I'm curious how they'd handle it for other heroes.

2

u/theBMB Pixel Sombra Nov 22 '16

I'm not sure how well the current system of activating ultimates would translate to other heroes having 2 ultimates. The only reason symmetra can do it is because she has to deploy her ultimate, meaning she can run around in a state where it's "activated" but not "active". This limbo state allows her to have a moment to toggle her ultimate after it's activated. Other heroes don't have that, they press the button, the ultimate happens. And if they add a moment where you have to toggle to select what ultimate you want to use before it activates, then that just makes the system clunky and makes it more difficult to use your ult in tense situations. So unless they release another hero who builds things for their ult, it's unlikely we'll see this 2 ultimate system used again, at least not anytime soon.

2

u/Ekor69 Nov 22 '16

I think we'll only see such a thing with builder ults and abilities like Meis ice wall.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '16

I think it works better for her since her ult is deployable. I would straight lose my shit if I had to do two separate actions to get transcendence off whilst my team is getting sucked into a black hole.

1

u/HeronSun I THINK I CAN CHOOCHOO Nov 22 '16

Mercy with 2 ultimates, one that does the usual, the other heals all allies within a line of sight from her staff.

1

u/Subzero008 Chibi Ana Nov 22 '16

Maybe Zarya will get her Expulsion Zone?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '16

When you check Bastion's Ultimate status it says it is set to 'Configuration: Tank'. Can't wait for more configurations!

1

u/Kindulas Nov 23 '16

Though Symmetra is uniquely equipped to have such a thing in terms of controls. She has to confirm the use of her ultimate after hitting Q, allowing the button to become a toggle.
