Reinhardt

A mighty shatter on the ground

A muffled sound

of a giant hammer swinging through the air

A charge, a pin, a sturdy unwavering wall

A blue rectangular shield to protect his friends

Get behind! He yells triumphantly

You can run

But his honor will chase you down

And firestrike you into the ground

Pride can be a downfall, but sometimes it uplifts to victory


Zenyatta

The holy monk meditates

In the village high above

Discord trifles with your life

Harmony leads you to the light

A balance must be achieved, with both at peace

An orb through the air

punishes discord’s heir

A slothful life can lead to failure

but it can enlighten all

and save from the black hole


Genji

Murdered in cold blood by a man he called a brother

Rescued by a Swiss doctor

A zombie risen once again

Now half man and half machine

He stalks his targets through the night

Fan his shuriken

And send it through their head

Wrath and envy fuel his murder spree before

He makes his escape, climbing the wall

double jumping through the hail of bullets

A short sword deflects most back, before he dashes through

Trips a bit

“I need healing”

Before reaching his peak

The dragon envelops his sword

“Ryūjin no ken o kurae!”

 

Moira

A disgrace evicted

from her lab and her experiments

A lust and greed for knowledge lead to questions

On her brilliance? Never

Her ethics? Every time

A suppressed rage guides her towards Talon

She experiments and heals the wounded

but with some benefits

She has created the perfect form

to send havoc and healing afloat

If in danger she will phase

through thick and thin

One hand heals, the other sucks essence

They fuse

to form coalescence


Mei

Some call her happy and innocent

Some call her evil

Everyone is right

From a frozen base deep in Antarctica

Frozen for millenia

Abandoned by her allies

The Ice Witch doesn’t want you to enjoy the game

If you try to escape

through a dash or a boost

She’ll freeze you in your tracks

Literally

And as the ice covers over your eyes

She’ll give a little smile

And just before you die

An icicle into your face

You wear her down to her last dregs

Oh hah, it was just a trick

and now you wait for her to come out of her cocoon

And even when she does

She will block you off

The wall has many uses

Charge too early into the fight?

No more access to your team and a quick death ensues

Her ultimate

Cute on the outside, cold as ice on the inside

Snowball will ruin all your fun

Freeze everyone in a radius

And Mei laughs and giggles endlessly

As her gluttony absorbs all

“Sorry, sorry, sorry!”
