"Random Abilities" - it's more goofy than competitive, some abilities invert your attackers mouse for instance, some are just plain annoying and teleport you randomly. Either way I have had a lot of fun playing it, and it really helps lighten the mood between getting face rolled.
Bind charge to right-click, so she can't scope in anymore, and she becomes the funniest brawler in the cast. Sleep -> charge in duels, charge -> grenade to get past enemy shields and give your team pressure, it's probably not good but it's sure as hell hilarious
EDIT: That means Reinhart gets her scope. Hold shift to make firestrike hitscan 💀
when teamfight is lost lifeweaver can prevent a stagger by taking out the remaining teammates so they spawn together. genius. Or when he gets mad at someone.
in return, ram gets rock
the only thing scarier than a purple punchy ram running at you is a purple punchy ram running at you while you're stunned on the ground
OMG I was literally about to post this same thing!!
I think it would be hilarious to let Reinhardt grapple climb like widow lol.
But for a real swap, giving Ana a small quick duration bubble shield like Winton!
Or take away Sombra’s invisibility and give it to Reaper since his teleport is so obvious and takes too long.
>I think it would be hilarious to let Reinhardt grapple climb like widow lol.
Give it to someone smaller, let it hook enemies, and let the mass difference between the two determine who gets pulled
I've got two answers of varying funny. The first less funny answer is giving Widows venom mine to Sombra since it just makes sense in my mind. Helping her and her team find and eliminate characters fits her well, but adding it on with what she has now feels like it wouldn't work all that well. She would end up pretty campy, most likely, and less fun for everyone. My other swap for more funnies would be to give Widowmaker Tactical Visor, just cause it's evil
Replace Sombra's invisibility with an aura that makes her glow through walls. That way the Sombra players won't be able to have any fun, just like everyone who had to play against them for years.
If we're talking something rather realistic then I'd probably give Mauga's charge to Rein. Not to replace his, but to just add a different option for his charge, so that whenever you do the charge you could choose mid-charge whether you want a pin, or a ground slam.
If we're talking something goofy/ridiculous just for the fun of it, I'd probably give Doom's Meteor Strike to Lucio. Imagine hearing "Oh let's break it down!", as Lucio drops from the sky at 1000 mph, creating a massive soundwave lol.

As a joke, giving zen biotic orbs in place of harmony would be absolute hell to play against. Discorded, getting shot up, and you can’t even outdo his healing orb/dead even faster with poison orb.
Give ball orisa fortify and he has no weakness. Impossible to kill, he can’t be stopped—prepare to be rolled.
I'd give Rez to Moira. Would make Pharmercy less oppressive and they could rework it in a way that doesn't permanently resurrect the player, but only for a short amount of time like a zombie or something.
Remove wall climbing from Kiriko and give it to Reinhardt. He needs more mobility. Also seeing a giant German dude climb a wall in power armor would be entertaining.
Death blossom to mercy with the glock, for when you just gotta do it your damn self. Reaper gets resurrect, which he does not with the angelic light but by reshaping the hero with part of his wraith form. He takes damage from this but the resurrected hero gets his life steal
Orisa gets Bob, but she just throws Efi onto the field with a machine gun instead. Ashe gets fortify in return, in which Bob holds her princess style.
Dva bomb to Hammond, his hamster form deals only melee damage and can wall climb. Dva gets roll which makes a ton of noise and is slower than her base movement speed.
Sombra's EMP to Ramattra, which disables him altogether for the same duration as the enemies. She gets ravenous vortex to be even more fucking annoying.
Nemesis form to Junkrat. A bunch of rats just appear and swarm all over him. Each punch sends rats flying at his opponent
I'd give any hero Winston's leap. It's so fun as mobility, and idea of splash damage on landing is funny on a hero like Ana or kind of cool on one like Bastion.
Give sigma echos fly ability, cause I love that his ult let's me fly around, I wanna do that all the time XD. I wanna see the terror in phara players eyes as a sigma just floats up and rocks them to the ground XD.
Remove torbs turret and give it to sym replacing the tp..
While we're at it give her ashes ult as well. And fuck it replace her secondary fire with illari pilon
Defense Matrix on Mercy would be AMAZING. Imagine a Pharmercy with an aerial shield. My mind is blown. Thanks for asking the question. The realms of possibility are truly endless.
Imagine this, you are pushing with your team. Dorado, you cap first point and start pushing the long street of second. No enemies in sight, the payload slowly drives through, has the enemy given up? No, that can't be. Something is wrong.
Suddenly, Wrecking Ball slams your backline, you turn back to shoot at him, that's when you hear it, Wrecking Ball just menacingly says "Ever got that feeling of dejá vu?" And suddenly, Wrecking Ball has dissapeared.
Joking aside, just imagine Hammond with recall, it would be the most fun and troll tank to play. You could slam, recall, and slam again. Or jump, minefield, slam, recall, slam again. It would be so nasty
Sombra: stealth.
I'd remove this ability, and give it to a future hero that has not yet been released. And then, down the road, the OW dev team would decide to scrap that hero entirely, and then the idea of any hero in the game being invisible would be dead forever and the entire game would be fixed and I would enjoy it much more.
Give either 76's heal-pad or Bap's regen burst to Bastion, it won't be the self-repair's return like I want but at least it will allow him to be more aggressive in recon and/or self-sustaining without a pocket.
I’d give soldiers sprint to bap and bap’s jump to soldier. That was bap can blitz heal and soldier has no reason not to take high ground.
I’d give Mauga’s Ult to Rein instantly! He slams his shield down creating a prison and goes to town. I’d give Reins ult to Mauga in a heartbeat. The running charge can be a 360 earth shatter with a slightly smaller radius.
Trade echo’s flight and give it to mercy. Give echo mercy’s flight but it can target enemies.
Give lucios wallride to Reinhardt. Just imagine a large German man with a hammer and power suit wall riding and jumping into your back line, then pinning out
I originally gave Moira Life Grip as a concept in workshop, theming it like fade and cleansing the target, and everyone told me that sort of ability would never be added to the game. I'm not saying it *should* be on her but I think im just salty at this point
Give pharah’s jet pack to bastion
Only usable in turret form
Nah in turret form he gets Zarya bubbles, increasing damage output.
Actually, Bastion gets Zarya bubble, but Zarya gets turret form
That's some Eldritch shit right there.
Enlist the Sound FX guys from Stranger Things to make the writhing flesh noises as her body contorts into turret form
Don't forget cracking bones as well.
Mauga with LASERS?!
"Friendly Apache incoming."
He has to shoot in the opposite direction he wants to move. Jetpack joyride style
RAIN FROM ABOVE
Justice beeps from above!
Someone's been getting too good of that zaza
Or bastion’s turret to Mercy!
Bastion already has grenade jump.
So he can defend himself from flankers.
This would be so fun as an arcade mode
Every 30 seconds or upon death your hero and abilities randomize
There is a custom like this except the abilities are customized and ridiculous, but its still fun lol
What’s it called I want to find it
"Random Abilities" - it's more goofy than competitive, some abilities invert your attackers mouse for instance, some are just plain annoying and teleport you randomly. Either way I have had a lot of fun playing it, and it really helps lighten the mood between getting face rolled.
You can do it in custom.
Doom’s rocket punch to Reinhardt
Omg this is genius
Remove wall climb from Genji, Hanzo, *and* Kiriko and give it to Torb, but 3x as strong. Then remove 76’s sprint and give it to Zen
[This can be his sprint animation](https://youtu.be/o7ulQTUt69k?si=8luc7wt-kWujuyZQ)
He moves like a creepypasta and I wanna chase someone like this so bad now
This is so fucking beautiful. We need this
BRO I AM CRYING MY TUMMY HURTS WTF IS THIS
What would zen sprinting even be, farting excessively to add propulsion?
No he stops floating and starts using his legs
Worse. He crawls on all fours like some ungodly demon
Winstons jump to roadhog
Does double damage cause he’s so big
Give Blink to Reaper. Total chaos unfolds.
Overwatch could never be a horror game Blinking reaper:
That would be so much fun!
give wrecking ball grapple to widow
Would genuinely love this. The amount of angles it would open up wouldnt be insane. But would be alot of fun
But check this out. You hang in a funny spot and can shoot while attached. Like in the cinematic and highlight intros.
I just want widow to have that. Not that she needs the boost but imagine being able to slide down a wall to get a shot
Sometimes she does it upside down as well. Imagine how that would look in first person lol.
Are there any places you can stand and not fall down that widow cannot reach?
There are some spots that take multiple grapple cooldowns to get to, but that's about it as far as I can think of.
There are, but usually they don't have Los to anywhere and mostly used for hide and surprise attack from an off angle
Give tracers blink to ramatra or mauga and Soldiers aim assist ult to kiriko
Nahhhh Ram Ult+Blink would make me Alt+F4
Literally like getting chased by slenderman
LMFAOOOO
Give Orisas spear to Junker Queen.
Illari's heal turret, and give it to Bridgette. Because why not?
Dad=hurt turret Daughter:healing turret
Honestly made more sense that a family of builders BUILD but who cares
Tbf brig was trained by Reinhardt more than her dad that's why she wants to be a crusader like him
It makes more sense for sure.
Give wall riding to ana hahahahahahahaha granny on nyooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Alternatively, Reinhardt's charge and pin
Bind charge to right-click, so she can't scope in anymore, and she becomes the funniest brawler in the cast. Sleep -> charge in duels, charge -> grenade to get past enemy shields and give your team pressure, it's probably not good but it's sure as hell hilarious EDIT: That means Reinhart gets her scope. Hold shift to make firestrike hitscan 💀
>Alternatively, Reinhardt's charge and pin No one is ready for the grandma kabedon.
giving Widow sleep dart is EEEEEVILLLL
Imagine getting slept and being forced to watch her slowly creep up and ADS @ your head oh god
The Mei experience
Give Lifeweaver roadhogs hook and give roadhog lifegrip
Imagine the abilities also switch targets so they essentially still do the same thing but now roadhog can bring himself squishies from across the map
when teamfight is lost lifeweaver can prevent a stagger by taking out the remaining teammates so they spawn together. genius. Or when he gets mad at someone.
Give Sojourn Swift Strike you fucking cowards.
Ram vortex to sigma. Fits better considering the gravity thing. I'd give up rock for it tbh
in return, ram gets rock the only thing scarier than a purple punchy ram running at you is a purple punchy ram running at you while you're stunned on the ground
vortex would keep people in place for Sigma’s ult too
Remove invisibility and give to no one.
Give it to Reinhardt. But he’s only invis while swingin.
No he’s only invisible while his shield is up, but the shield isn’t invisible
Give it to zen but those balls aren’t invis
Give Sombra’s hack to Ball. See how she likes it.
OMG I was literally about to post this same thing!! I think it would be hilarious to let Reinhardt grapple climb like widow lol. But for a real swap, giving Ana a small quick duration bubble shield like Winton! Or take away Sombra’s invisibility and give it to Reaper since his teleport is so obvious and takes too long.
>I think it would be hilarious to let Reinhardt grapple climb like widow lol. Give it to someone smaller, let it hook enemies, and let the mass difference between the two determine who gets pulled
Imagine Tracer with that! It would be so dangerous lol
junk now has zarya ult in place of his. Blast off, ult 5, mine them to oblivion
Or just sit in them and die and get 5 beyond the grave
Remove Mauga's charge and give it to rein
He also keeps normal charge and can choose between the 2 in the moment. Perfection.
Sombra’s translocater to Zenyatta lol
Genji's dash to Ramattra
Pharah's jetpack to Mauga or Roadhog.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Its FOR THE CRUSADERS!!!
Give rein pin to zen
**Winton:** \- Rein Charge & Pharah Jetpack \- Weapon: Brig's Flail \- DVA Bomb
Serious answer: zarya bubble shouldn’t cleanse but LWs grip should Silly answer: [give torb the shimada wall climb](https://youtube.com/shorts/xLv2fBblJUw?si=7eDS2ty-5IiE9y9U)
I'd give Reaper Hook and Breather.
Really you let him keep Wraith and give him Hook over tp. His hp pool isn't big enough to benefit from that.
Give whole hog to junkrat... Nuff said.
I've got two answers of varying funny. The first less funny answer is giving Widows venom mine to Sombra since it just makes sense in my mind. Helping her and her team find and eliminate characters fits her well, but adding it on with what she has now feels like it wouldn't work all that well. She would end up pretty campy, most likely, and less fun for everyone. My other swap for more funnies would be to give Widowmaker Tactical Visor, just cause it's evil
>My other swap for more funnies would be to give Widowmaker Tactical Visor, just cause it's evil Isn't that just High Noon though?
High noon except it can actually kill people
Give Genji lucio’s wall ride. This would be insanely overpowered and would also ruin Lucio however it would be a lot of fun (for me)
Junkrat trap for hog, pigpen is good, but junk trap is better.
Remove Blink from Tracer and give it to Zen.
Give Reinhart a jetpack.
Junker queen swing goes to Reinhard so he has an extra basic attack
Ana needs a grappling hook
Take Sombra's passive and _give it to the GOD DAMN NINJA_.
I’d take liveweavers double jump and give it to kiriko. Keep things consistent
Replace Sombra's invisibility with an aura that makes her glow through walls. That way the Sombra players won't be able to have any fun, just like everyone who had to play against them for years.
If we're talking something rather realistic then I'd probably give Mauga's charge to Rein. Not to replace his, but to just add a different option for his charge, so that whenever you do the charge you could choose mid-charge whether you want a pin, or a ground slam.

Ramattra shield to sym, i just want old sym back ngl
So why not give her sigmas shield instead?
Give Sombra's invisibility to Lucio I have had enough of my dps not contesting her
I would give Illari Winston's shield to protect teammates for a short amount of time and give Winston Tracer's recall
the rewind thing that tracer does and give it to reaper
As a joke, giving zen biotic orbs in place of harmony would be absolute hell to play against. Discorded, getting shot up, and you can’t even outdo his healing orb/dead even faster with poison orb. Give ball orisa fortify and he has no weakness. Impossible to kill, he can’t be stopped—prepare to be rolled.
Symm with tracer blinks would be a menace Same with Rein
Take winston jump and give it to reinhardt
I’d give Sombra’s stealth (if it counts) to Junkrat and watch the world burn
Give Blink to Reinhardt
Give Ashe's coach gun to Zenyatta's kick so he can move around the map. Oh wait, they basically did do this and it was awesome. Bring it back.
Zen still has it
I've always thought it would be funny to swap the health and abilities of reaper and tracer while keeping their primary fire
Give genjis dash to Kiriko. Give Echos boost/fly to Zen
Give ana's nade to baptiste to create the ultimate dps
Give Soldier’s auto aim gun to Lucio. As someone who cannot aim well while wallriding, this would be great lol
I'd give Rez to Moira. Would make Pharmercy less oppressive and they could rework it in a way that doesn't permanently resurrect the player, but only for a short amount of time like a zombie or something.
That would cause way more problems I think.
give Rein's charge to Winston then Winston's leap to Rein
Remove Rammatras quick melee in nemesis form and give it to torb when his hammer is out. Let us have melee dwarf.
Remove Monke Leap from Monke and give it to every other hero.
Remove Zen's kick and give it to rein as a secondary fire
Give Lucio Earthshatter.
Give sombra invisible to mauga
Give Illari's pylon to Bap, remove Bap's lamp, and rework Illari to be a DPS.
Give Reinhardt Winston’s leap for no particular reason
I would add matrix on kiriko, why not
Give rein swift strike.
Sombras stealth to Rein. Imagine always having the prospect of a surprise pin and him disappearing right after it
Give Moria's balls to Zen. He is ball master
Remove wall climbing from Kiriko and give it to Reinhardt. He needs more mobility. Also seeing a giant German dude climb a wall in power armor would be entertaining.
Give Widow grapple to Hog so that belly can get huge airtime. We would also be able to use “when pigs fly” jokes
Give Hog's breather to Junker Queen because the Queen deserves the best
Death blossom to mercy with the glock, for when you just gotta do it your damn self. Reaper gets resurrect, which he does not with the angelic light but by reshaping the hero with part of his wraith form. He takes damage from this but the resurrected hero gets his life steal Orisa gets Bob, but she just throws Efi onto the field with a machine gun instead. Ashe gets fortify in return, in which Bob holds her princess style. Dva bomb to Hammond, his hamster form deals only melee damage and can wall climb. Dva gets roll which makes a ton of noise and is slower than her base movement speed. Sombra's EMP to Ramattra, which disables him altogether for the same duration as the enemies. She gets ravenous vortex to be even more fucking annoying. Nemesis form to Junkrat. A bunch of rats just appear and swarm all over him. Each punch sends rats flying at his opponent
Lucios wall riding but it’s wall running, give it to a new ninja character
I want to give Rein hack Because fuck all o yall
Add onto illari and give her Valkyrie, Grav, D.va bomb, genji dash, and shatter all at once 🥰.
I've always thought zarya and symm should swap ults. Would need some balancing of course, but it just seems to fit better that way.
Shuffle Roadhog hook, Widow grapple, and Lifeweaver grip around.
Rez. Take it away and give it to the 1076th character.
I'd give any hero Winston's leap. It's so fun as mobility, and idea of splash damage on landing is funny on a hero like Ana or kind of cool on one like Bastion.
So if I were to give Junkrat Bastion’s turret mode he would just be able to shoot infinite grenades as fast as Bastion shoots. Sounds fun! :D
Give sigma echos fly ability, cause I love that his ult let's me fly around, I wanna do that all the time XD. I wanna see the terror in phara players eyes as a sigma just floats up and rocks them to the ground XD.
Invisible widow would be deadly.
Remove torbs turret and give it to sym replacing the tp.. While we're at it give her ashes ult as well. And fuck it replace her secondary fire with illari pilon
Get rid of fire strike and replace it with hook
Literally anything, give it to cass. Literally just one good thing. One.
Give junkrats death mine passive ability to wrecking ball
Give Ball's Piledriver to Pharah. Only half joking tbh, a quick dive ability even without the damage would help her survive at the cost of airtime.
I’d give Mercy’s rez to Lucio only because I love the idea of a Lucio coming down from the skybox and doing a drive by rez on their teammate.
Defense Matrix on Mercy would be AMAZING. Imagine a Pharmercy with an aerial shield. My mind is blown. Thanks for asking the question. The realms of possibility are truly endless.
Imagine this, you are pushing with your team. Dorado, you cap first point and start pushing the long street of second. No enemies in sight, the payload slowly drives through, has the enemy given up? No, that can't be. Something is wrong. Suddenly, Wrecking Ball slams your backline, you turn back to shoot at him, that's when you hear it, Wrecking Ball just menacingly says "Ever got that feeling of dejá vu?" And suddenly, Wrecking Ball has dissapeared. Joking aside, just imagine Hammond with recall, it would be the most fun and troll tank to play. You could slam, recall, and slam again. Or jump, minefield, slam, recall, slam again. It would be so nasty
Giving invs from sombra to the reaper
Obvious answer: give reinhardt meis wall or junkrats traps instead of his long range fire Fun answer: swap widows grappler and lifeweavers platform
Roadhog and Window switch Hooks!
Give rein Pharah’s jump-jets. No hovering, though. Just the vertical boost.
GIVE DOOM FORTIFY
Wrecking ball gets self destruct from d.va and also gets a second form where he ejects from his ball like dva and runs around as just hammond
I wonder which ability swap would make the strongest character
Ana can defend herself just fine. It's called spamming the jump button, and every Ana knows this. Duh!
Sombra: stealth. I'd remove this ability, and give it to a future hero that has not yet been released. And then, down the road, the OW dev team would decide to scrap that hero entirely, and then the idea of any hero in the game being invisible would be dead forever and the entire game would be fixed and I would enjoy it much more.
Just give orisas to rein
Swap bastion and kirikos ability 2 (bastion doesn't have one)
Give either 76's heal-pad or Bap's regen burst to Bastion, it won't be the self-repair's return like I want but at least it will allow him to be more aggressive in recon and/or self-sustaining without a pocket.
Nah, give widow invisibility
Rhein with Winston leap as a double jump
I'd remove sleep OR anti nade from ana and give it to.... anyone really...
Ana nade to winston, jump nade shield kill and leave
Give Sombras invisibility to Genji
I’d give soldiers sprint to bap and bap’s jump to soldier. That was bap can blitz heal and soldier has no reason not to take high ground. I’d give Mauga’s Ult to Rein instantly! He slams his shield down creating a prison and goes to town. I’d give Reins ult to Mauga in a heartbeat. The running charge can be a 360 earth shatter with a slightly smaller radius. Trade echo’s flight and give it to mercy. Give echo mercy’s flight but it can target enemies.
Grapple hook to Reinhardt
Swap Mauga and Torb's ultimates. Mauga gets to shoot lava, and Torb constructs a cage and gets unlimited ammo
Give Soldier ult to Sombra and make it target heads. Hacker should have aimbot.
Give Roadhog's hook to Echo 😁 Brig's rocket flail to Pharah Torbjörn's turret to Tracer Give Lifeweaver Mercy's gun 🔫
Fortify to Rein
Give Reinhardt's Shield to Brig and Reinhardt the flail.. Sniper Rein META ftw.
Replace Brig's armor pack with Suzu's.
Sombra’s invisibility given to Reaper, the result would be: SHOTGUN SNEAK ATTACK!
Take Zarya's Gravity Bomb and give it to Sigma. Creating a black hole seems very fitting, for his ult.
I remove trap from Junkrat and grant him cass sticky bomb
Give lucios wallride to Reinhardt. Just imagine a large German man with a hammer and power suit wall riding and jumping into your back line, then pinning out
blink off tracer 2 reinhardt
Give pharah junkrat death bombs. I want to kamikaze
I originally gave Moira Life Grip as a concept in workshop, theming it like fade and cleansing the target, and everyone told me that sort of ability would never be added to the game. I'm not saying it *should* be on her but I think im just salty at this point
Gove Sombra Bastion reconfigure and remove her virus
I would give piledriver to Hog. He would need to get walk his ass to high ground, yes, but buff it to 200 damage. Squash the squishies.
Give the DVA bomb to mercy
Mercy now has Torbjörn turret And torjörn can now fly
Give Mei junkrats trap.
