According to former Overwatch League coach Félix ‘Féfé’ Münch, a viewer sent him details of what could just be the abilities and ultimate of Junker Queen. In addition, Junker Queen’s sword will have a boomerang function where she can throw it at enemies and call it back, possibly hitting anyone in the way as the weapon flies back to her. The leak also suggests that the Junker Queen will have an ability where allies will gain 100HP alongside a 200 HP boost to herself, Rallying Call. The same ability will also apply a movement buff to Junker Queen, but it’s not yet clear if it will also apply to her teammates. As for Junker Queen’s other abilities, Carnage will deal AoE damage to all enemies in front of her and apply a bleeding effect while her passive, Adrenaline Shot, will work similarly to existing abilities like Widowmaker’s Venom Mine or Ashe’s Dynamite. Finally, the Junker Queen’s ultimate, Rampage, will see her charge in front of her enemies and deal anti-healing effect while applying a heal to herself.
Blizzard hasn’t officially confirmed that Junker Queen is coming to Overwatch 2, so the kit could belong to a different hero. Even if it does belong to Junker Queen, there is no guarantee that it will be the final set of abilities. Classes and kits all change in Overwatch, even for heroes that are already added to the game. Not to mention, the transition from Overwatch to Overwatch 2 will see its fair share of changes in existing heroes as well. Thus, we can’t say for sure what kind of role Junker Queen will have in Overwatch 2 and when she’s coming, nor what will be capable of doing once she arrives. The good news is that the closed alpha test for Overwatch 2 is about to end soon. More fans will have a chance to check out Overwatch 2’s latest addition once the beta kicks off on April 26. Speaking of Overwatch 2, the select few who are part of the current testing phase have started leaking details about the upcoming hero shooter sequel. On top of the potential Junker Queen leak, we also got a glimpse of the Soldier 76 redesign as well as what appears to be a new game mode and hero roster.
