The 30th hero, Baptiste, was added to the Overwatch Public Test Region (PTR) on February 26th. Baptiste is the first hero to be added in 2019 and the 7th support hero in Overwatch who uses a rifle similar to Ana's to heal allies from a distance. His weapon, the Biotic Launcher, is a hitscan rifle that can inflict damage on his target with 3-round-bursts, but it can also fire healing biotic projectiles; the projectile heals all allies within an AoE. Unlike Ana and Brigitte who have rather restricted mobility, Baptiste can jump to higher ground with his passive ability, ‘Exo Boots', and can attack and heal in mid-air. He has two skills, ‘Regenerative Burst' and ‘Immortality Field'. ‘Regenerative Burst' continuously heals Baptiste and nearby allies over time, similar to Brigitte's Inspire or Lucio's Amp It Up.

As Battle Royales are finely balanced around not only hit shots but dodging them as well, any character with a larger hitbox is extremely hindered in ways that unique abilities rarely make up for.
Activision Blizzard loves making money. So much so, that their Chief Executive Officer, Bobby Kotick, during their most recent earnings call began his statement with: “We once again achieved record results in 2018.” What followed was him stating that the company would be laying off around 800 individuals but that’s a different story altogether. A few of the company’s entities: Overwatch, the Overwatch League, World of Warcraft and Hearthstone have reliably brought in income for the company in recent years. What has struggled-- and likely one of the reasons why developers were moved off the title and onto more profitable ones-- is a way for Heroes of the Storm players to be incentivized to spend money in or on a title they love. This isn’t a recent development either. All a die-hard fan of the game has to do is visit Blizzard’s official gear shop online or at a company-sponsored tournament and you will see very, very little Heroes of the Storm merchandise. Why this is so perplexing is the concept of Heroes lends itself well to merchandising.
