Smolder -Overwatch Fan Character Concept

Smolder! The burly Bangladeshi with a penchant for pyromancy. Smolder plays like a fire mage, using burning techniques to scatter his foes!

I feel like defense heroes don't get the love they deserve. For Smolder I wanted a character who could act like a shepherd, deftly corralling the enemy in the direction of his choice to allow his teammates to fall on to them at the best angle. Smolder's kit revolves around damage that spreads and retriggers on targets that bunch up or attempt to take ground. His Particle Hostility ability is the signature of his skills, making two enemies burn each other based on proximity. I also wanted a character who could absorb the energy attacks that barriers don't to add some more counterplay.
