About

One thing that sets Overwatch apart from its competitive FPS cousins is that it's truly a MOBA, and in the vein of other MOBAs hopefully Overwatch will one day reach the point where fans can see their work in the game. Until that day, I intend for Overwatch Hero Concepts to serve as a gallery recognizing achievement in custom hero concepts, as well as a workshop for authors to collaborate on ideas. The goal is to accept new contributing members through exchange, and grow as a community of theorycrafters. We can influence Blizzard to add more community-driven features, and maybe even influence their hero design process, as well as help the community cope with new heroes by discussing them before they ever happen.

Shared Canon

The goal of this website is to weave a shared fabric of lore and synergistic custom hero concepts that would all work together if added to the game. That means trying not to overlap niches, characters, backstories, skills, and tropes. That also means an acceptance of each other's ideas, and to that end in order to appear on this "main" page, you must first contribute feedback and receive some feedback. Right now this site isn't set up to make that exchange especially easy, so you can submit concepts and exchange feedback via Reddit (see link at bottom of page).

What's the Point of Submitting?

In a game like Overwatch, there are only so many ways to fill each niche. By working together we can make better heroes, let everyone participate, and still give the best ideas all the attention they deserve. For now the main benefit of submitting is to see your idea on this site, but once enough traffic comes you'll receive plenty of feedback. Contributing authors will eventually receive elevated privileges on the upcoming project I've got coming up...

Coming Soon: A Full Message Board

I've hard this under way for a Dota 2-related project for a while now, and as soon as it's done I'll be releasing an update to both this and my Dota 2 personal page for all users to access a full, Reddit-like message board.
