Overwatch’s New Hero Shion Copies Apex Legends’ Homework but Gets a Better Grade

Since Overwatch’s big relaunch, it’s been dropping memorable heroes at an impressive rate. The five heroes that came alongside Overwatch dropping the 2 from its name are all winners; fans love Emre’s Halo vibes, the long-requested Jetpack Cat’s lifeline allows for some wild teamwork, Anran’s quick, fiery style feels fresh, Domina’s Emma Frost attitude took the internet by storm, and Mizuki can be a beast in the right Support player’s hands. Sure, Anran’s face model needed a rework and Season 2 hero Sierra suffered from questionable balancing and a debatably “boring” design, but the hype around Season 3’s Shion suggests Blizzard has hit another home run. However, for Apex Legends fans, she may actually look a bit familiar.
