From a blizzard employee

Hello! So I want to make thing clear about hero development and who are we working on.(Everything in this thread could be changed)

Next hero?-Our next hero either is a support or defense hero as of who they are one of them is Hammond who most likely not be our next hero unless will do the same thing with doomfist.Hammond is a summoner type hero who can summon gorillas and command them to attack,defend or attack specific hero(ex:make every gorilla attack mercy.)But the problem with Hammond is we felt that he's either too weak or too strong. as of making this thread Hammond has 75hp and 75shield with a passion that keeps him from getting one shot and also a jump pack that function like Winston's but it's shorter and has no cooldowns.While his primary fire is not in yet(currently using torb model and gun) We want it to be a throwing weapon of some sort. Overall Hammond will definitely be change later with some of his abilities(mostly his gorillas). As for our support we have 2 supports heroes.one of them is a offense support hybrid who use boomerangs and has a life steal effect(although Geoff goodman want to change the life steal effect because it didn't fit with the hero's personality or lore yes lore)and the other is team shielding/healing support

Hero's ult?
Yes I made a section for ultimates(All these will most likely be change)

Hammond-Big guns:calls in his best unit in battlefield which is three gorillas with laser guns (yes pretty bizarre)

Support hybrid-while the ult doesn't have a name yet it's a poison global effect like widow's venom mine but deals 15 damage per second

Shielding/Healing support- Another global ultimate works like symmetra's old ability provides 75 Shields to allies(is lost upon death)
