so i’ve been working on some overwatch oc template psds based on the actual hero profiles on the overwatch site, and this is what i’ve come up with–you can see it in action with an actual character of mine here.

you can change the roles and difficulty ratings by toggling the visibility of different layers. it’s not as versatile as i’d like, as you’ll need to manually adjust the placement of some elements if you don’t have enough lines of text in certain boxes. if you have multiple abilities with longer descriptions, for example, you’ll have to duplicate whichever section you want, delete the one you don’t want, and manually shift the sections (tho if you have a more elegant way of going about it, feel free to do it your way).

for the ability icon images, if you can’t make your own, i recommend finding some neat minimalist icons from sites like thenounproject and iconfinder and using a white color overlay effect on them to match the style of the icons on the original hero profiles. if you don’t have the big noodle titling and futura lt heavy fonts (which are used in the psd files) installed on your computer, i’ve provided a download for both of them as well.

and finally, if you do use this, it’d be nice if you could credit me for it by linking back to the original post if possible (i won’t lead a witchhunt or anything if you don’t, but i’m sure people would appreciate knowing the source in case they want to use the template too)
