Why K. Lee? Because we need a gnome in HotS! Mekkatorque seems like the most likely candidate, but I went with K. Lee because she has a catchy name and another female hero wouldn't hurt! Especially one that could potentially be hyper and spunky (like most gnomes).
What's Her Purpose? Siege and wave clear first and foremost, with a bit of utility sprinkled in.
Basic Attack:K. Lee throws a small piece bomb at target, inflicting normal basic attack damage and 15% splash damage to adjacent enemy heroes, mercenaries, minions. Structures take 20% splash damage.

Did you forget about Mekkatorque? Blizzard showed off his model where he was riding a chopper a long time ago. So he is going to be added to the game at some point in the future. There's your gnome.
I know this, and Mekkatorque already has several concepts (which is why I didn't use him). I wanted to use a more obscure gnome.
