Heirloom ideas for Characters without heirlooms.

yo, this topic is about the heirlooms for future characters. these are ideas i hope EA sees and takes in consideration.

Octane- Chain. a mean looking chain that makes a rough chain sound when u melee it. A type of chain that he wraps around his hand and whips it at enemies. it could be silver, dark grey, rusty looking. w.e. let it rattle every now and then.

Pathfinder- hardest one to think of so what i got is an animated saw. or a customized swiss army knife. or Octanes robotic leg lol. or maybe like a screwdriver or a regular builders hammer with a clean grip.

Lifeline- the obvious thing that comes to mind is the medical needle that she uses in one of her finishers, but to add to it you could choose the color of the liquid inside the needle as colors that represent where lifeline is from. this character will be easy to make a heirloom for so ill continue.

Watson- what i gathered is she deals a lot with electricity. so i though what about a key that is wrapped in kite flying string to represent the key experiment done by Ben Franklin. Now obviously keys are small. but you could make it a good size and have it glowing with electricity. and if that idea is not good enough then a double sided dagger would be fine. similar to the double sided lightsaber that the darth maul created himself. the red saberstaff. obviously a smaller version with references to electricity.

Gibby- obviously the club he uses in his finisher.

Mirage- i image him pistol whipping people. but if he runs around with a gun then it defeats the purpose of it being different and cool. everyone is running around with guns. i put mirages personality closer to what magic represents than science. so i think a magic wand would fit perfect. the one that is black in the middle and white at the ends. Make it similar to wraiths heirloom when it spins in her palm. but instead of it spinning it rolls through his fingers really smooth like. That will be hard to pull off in the creative room but it seems awesome.

Caustic. a half broken arrow that is dry at the start. but after so many kills it gets bloodier. a bloody broken arrow with like a serrated top.  I know this character is about gas but he carries arrows and honestly just makes it a easier heirloom versus a heirloom about gas. the best you could get with him after an arrow is a type of  brass knuckles.

Bangalore- I dont want casutic with brass knuckles because i want bang to have them. she is supper fast and doesnt need a weird item to disrupt her running flow visually. with brass knuckles, she could keep her same running motion and still have a cool looking customized brass knuckles on. i was think  brass knuckles with mini sharp looking claws on them, almost raptor like.

Crypto- i have no clue, but it has to be a korean weapon. best one is the steel rope dart, that would require 2 hands to hold. so both the rope and the dart on the other end. a sword of korean origins, korean dagger, nunchucks. but what i think would be best is a set of sai weapons for both hands. 

if anyone has any input on my ideas for heirlooms please reply with yours. i think these heirlooms could make the game that much better for casual and competitive players with out messing with either group of communities. Peace haha!

  • Horizon should have an umbrella I feel like it is probably one of the only items that seems reasonable for horizon.

    Animations should include twisting the umbrella and the finisher would be her using it like a rapier.

    Running animations should have her spinning the umbrella in her hand
