Obviously so many countries are not represented yet. Off the top of my head we have Heroes from Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, England, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, France, Egypt, China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, India, Nepal, Australia, Haiti, Nigeria and Numbani (let’s count that as somewhere near Nigeria since it’s a fictional country)
Hope I didn’t forget anyone. So, if your country is not on that list, pitch a hero from your country. What do they look like? What are their abilities? How is their kit representing your country (ie maybe they practice a form of martial arts in your country)?
Doesn’t really have anything to do with a nationality, but I have a pretty cool idea! I was thinking like a weapons maker/chemist, kinda similar to Moira. They would specialize in status effects. Maybe a fairly low damage primary that leave the projectile stuck in the hit hero for awhile. They might also stick into walls. One of their CDs could turn their primary into a flame thrower for a short time, igniting enemies. Another CD could be like an oil slick that slows enemies and quickens allies, giving an okay means of escape. It might also be able to be lit to add a little extra DPS while enemies are on it (though not necessarily igniting then) I think if it’s lit, it has a significantly shorter duration. Maybe their Ult activates their projectiles that are stuck in enemies or surfaces, coating enemies in Acid. Acid could reduce the damage soak from armor, slow shield recovery, slowing healing, and maybe a little bit of damage

I like to make characters, so I’ve covered several untouched regions. One I was very surprised to realize was untouched was Native Americans, and also Greek.
Spain gets a bullfighter. I’ve had this idea for a long time, his ultimate is either a single Omnic bull which has 500-700 HP and just knocks people into the air and to the side like B.O.B or a Doomfist Punch. Or multiple 200-300 HP bulls that just do impact damage like being scrapped by a charging Reinhardt.
His ability one would be a Cape Toss that could take a few seconds to be out and catch all incoming enemy damage and capture it before harmlessly tossing it off to the side. His second ability, Disappearing Act, he could leave a duplicate of his cape somewhere and disappear towards it (like Old Sombra Translocator).
His primary would be a sword which does 75 damage a swing but also has a throw variant where body shots do 75 and headshots do 150 but the throw variation takes time to charge up to reach distances and has recall time like Junker Queen Knife.
His name could be Samuel (yes, a MGR: R reference for a Brazilian character but the point still stands). His lore could intertwine with Cassidy and Sombra since he is a disgraced bullfighter that now works as a thief for hire using his gimmicks and tools to make money while he still feels from the shame of being ousted as a fraud.

I really love the idea of something low damage that sticks to enemies and then when you ult the stuck enemies get a ton of damage. A Kiri could suzu them or Moira/reaper could fade/wraith out, but normal healing wouldn’t get rid of them.
It would be a good idea for a support hero because they would have to strategize when and where to do damage. Obviously if they just throw damage out and the enemy dies before their ult is charged, then the damage would be negligible.
Im from the US but a Greek hero would be nice! I don’t know much about Greece so my first thought for a character from there would involve Greek mythology but nobody would really be happy with that.
Wazhazhe hero when?
im from palestine. sadly i don’t think we’re getting a palestinian hero anytime soon
Yeah it’ll probably put OW on Fox News and they’ll make it sound like brainwashing or something stupid like that.
I know we already have 1 character from the UK but I’m generally surprised it’s only 1. Like the US have 4 or 5. I feel personally we need more. Not only that but I feel we need to get more representation from other nations too like Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany etc:
Give us a Lebanese Phoenician Hero already
Serbian tank hero
i want a maori from nz. hog isn’t really rep because he’s labelled as aussie.

I was thinking a parkour gymnast mobility based flanker.
The idea evolved to invlude some psionic sci fi powers
All of his abilities use a shared resource meter instead of hard cooldowns
It’s cool to see people from so many countries in the community, although I’m surprised not to have seen any Spaniards xd
I’m not creative right now to think about a kit and so on, but since I like creating characters I might get into it another time.
