📋 About This Mod
I randomly saw an artist by the name of redpharoah post a concept of Gru added to Overwatch, you can find that reddit post here! Cavity was kind enough to help me out with a model that would translate to Magneto's body in Rivals and it is a pretty close translation once fully in game! I really appreciate the time that was taken to help make everything match the way I was hoping while fitting into the Rivals skeleton that Magneto had. It is obvious that this could not have been done without Cavity.
I added audio that replaced all 389 voice lines, all icons except moving Lords, a new accessory (with the moving sprites), as well as replaced the ult with of course the moon.
Keep me honest if something is off. I considered doing a Minion over Rocket but I think I will let someone else do that :)
