But it really shakes things up with eight different "Legends" (character classes) to choose from, each with unique abilities that let you pick your role based on your play style.  > There is Bangalore, who provides cover for her team with a smoke canister gun and has a passive ability that speeds up her movement when being shot at. Like all other characters, she charges up an Overwatch-like ultimate ability: in her case, a wide-ranging airstrike.
