Reposting this now since I really think it's a VERY VERY good idea

It would be nice to be able to change abilities hotkey for each Agent instead of it just being default for all Agents. That way if I want my grenade on Jett to be Q it doesn't change the hotkey for all other Agents.

Edit: Thank y'all for the support of this post, I'm glad most of y'all support this feature. Hopefully the Devs will respond to this post.

I believe it's also good to implement this as early as possible since getting used to different hotkeys has its own learning curve. It's also gonna make some player's life easier. I use Jett,Raze and Reyna from time to time. I adjust my hotkeys every time I use different heroes because I can't play Jett and Raze well with the default hotkey.(MISCLICKING Q FROM TIME TO TIME).

I believe this isn't an ISOLATED CASE for me and there are more PLAYERS out there who experience the same since I also have a friend who does this and we complain about it to each other from time to time. Please make this happen! Credits to the original poster, I was searching if this was implemented yet and I came by his post and I saw a dev archive it up 9 months ago. I hope they haven't forgotten it yet, or it's probably in the bottom list of the priorities but for players like me it would be a life saver. I would never need to escape out of the start of the game and change my hotkeys back to default everytime I decide to use a different agent.

This would also likely make other players more interested in other agents as they can customize it to their own comforts. I personally hated using heroes that toggle anything with "Q" WHEN I WAS A NEWBIE since i misclick it from time to time and I had no idea that I was able to change the hotkeys, changing the hotkeys made me love playing jett and raze since it was so comfortable with my mouse buttons.
