Besides the fact that it's not confirmed why do so many people have a problem with the hero being Bridgitte when it's just as much a possibility as Emre or Jet Pack Cat. Debatebly more possible.
-She's most likely gonna be a short ranged hero which fucking sucks, we've plenty of those already
-Probably gonna be another builder, yawn
-only new male character we have had since the game released is doomfist.
-Blizzard teasing a HLC hero almost 1 year ago and no news since then.
Some people want more males heros. They made Sombra, Ana, Moira, and orisa. Not sure if I miss any new female heros. But I would like to see a new male for once
No one has a PROBLEM with it.. but it's highly unlikely from the story line perspective. She has said multiple times shes not interested in joining overwatch. She just wants to build stuff for other heroes. This is likely similar to the Efi reveals that were spoilers for Orisa.
Bridgitte is likely the person who made the weapons or jetpack for Hammond... a character that fits ALL the hints given by the OW team so far.
They won't add jetpack cat. It was a joke idea among the dev team and at Blizzcon Jeff talked about it like it was a joke, it's just a funny part of the development history but they won't actually add a cat with a jetpack into the game
