NEW HEROES
Ril:  The Butcher is the first new hero that was announced as part of the Eternal Conflict update! You can see a demo video of The Butcher via the link in the show notes. [Go over his passive, Q, W, E, & R]
Kali:  Trikslyr announced on the forums that Overwatch characters will only be added to Heroes after Overwatch officially launches. This makes sense, it seems sort of silly to release characters from a game that you can’t even play yet into another game.
