Sniper character do not belong in this game at all
Glad to see they're bringing the game in a horrible fucking direction
>>344038448
....So some kind of long range healing ability? I don't get it
>>344038448
>waaah no guns, no killing
I wonder if Mercy realises that by healing Overwatch agents she only prolongs conflict and suffering
>>344038448
>a healing sniper
Implying retards are going to switch off from Widow/Hanzo if nobody picks support.
>>344038701
Mercy wants the develop the rifle as a method for long range delivery of her biotic stuff.
However I'm assuming weaponizing it would use the nanomachines offensively. So I guess instead of immediate damage it'd be a powerful damage over time?
>>344038762
and she has a pistol.
>>344038762
oh she knows
>>344038802
The twist isyou snipe your allies
>>344038762
>>344038897
Remember that it's likely she is the one the turned Reaper into what he is through experimenting with the tech originally. She knows full well what can happen with it.
>>344038897
>a high powered sniper rifle firing bullets containing super cancer
>>344038762
That's not mercy's problem. the thing she takes issue with specifically is her Biotic tech being used to hurt people instead of heal
So she has no qualms about using a pistol but she wouldn't use a reverse version of her Caduceus staff that saps the life out of people she tethers.
>>344038448
Shut up you slut you made a cyborg ninja.
>>344039087
Can't wait for everyone to pick Sombre and miss sniping heals considering how piss poor average Hanzo and Widow's accuracies are.
>>344039156
This seems to be an early proposal during first overwatch as the file was sent to Morrison and Reyes.
I'm assuming maybe it never came into fruition until second overwatch, and reaper takes the plans for "Sombra" to use
>>344039202
well he was a ninja to begin with, she just made a cyborg
... with shurikens in his arms yea okay I see your point, Ms.Zeigler what you doin
>>344039269
They'll just make it like the Killing Floor 2 medic and have the darts track targets as long as you're aiming in their general direction.
>>344038448
its gonna be widow all over again
either they do shit all and lose your the game or that roadhog is literally unkillable because the god like sniper headshots him 500 health heals every half a second
>>344039180
that sounds about right.
It looks like Sombre might be some sort of plague sniper or something.
>>344039179
>>344038897
This.
>>344039180
What if Sombre's attack is essentially Zarya's laser except super long range and requires a line of sight to continuously do damage over time?
It would pretty much be the opposite of Mercy's heal staff that slowly takes people's life down over time.
>>344038448
>>344038701
A healing Sniper sounds fucking useless unless it gives you OVER health.
There are a few characters that are already done and fully playable, I don't get why they don't just fucking release one.
>>344039579
>long range hitscan laser
nah fuck you it'd be impossible to keep a bead on anyone
Design an ult that Sombra would have to make her viable compared to Mercy or Lucio while being a PURE support ult
You can't. Ranged healer seems shit anyways, she would have to out heal Zen for it to be worthwhile. All these maps are chokepoints and tight areas so a ranged healer has no spot.
>>344039809
That's the point, that way she wont outshadow Hanzo or Widow and it would be an interesting new mechanic for a sniper.
Also support sniper anyways.
WHERE'S THE DOT CLASS, BLIZZARD? WHERE'S THE FIRE BASED CHARACTER THAT DRAINS YOUR HP OVER TIME INSTEAD OF BURSTS GODDAMNIT
I mean the idea sounds cool, but I really don't see how they can make it worthwhile. I'm mostly interested in seeing what sort of ultimate they give her.
>>344039962
Mei was supposed to be a poison character originally :^)
>>344039962
all i want is a techy necromancer type dude that summons little skely omnics and drains health and puts dots on people and shit
>>344040095
Would have been a lot better than the fat cunt we have now
I want an anti-shield character that isn't Symmetra.
YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
TFW SUPPORT MAIN
i bet she wont be op at all.
>another gimmicky support that won't be able to compete with lucio/mercy
>>344039846
Gives all allies lifesteal for the duration
>>344040095
Still less toxic than the current version.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEOukJtSCnU vid About commp
>>344040371
Seems terrible. Mercy saves a lost teamfight, and Lucio counters ults. Lifesteal does nothing when the other team has the advantage and everyone dies in 2 seconds anyways
>mercy uses the slippery slope argument
Give them a inch, they take the whole mile.
>has sniper rifle
>shoots like junk-rats launcher
>Ult is a shitty hologram
THANKS BLIZZARD
Someone must've been playing Xenoblade and gotten a kick out of it.
I don't think it's going to translate as well into Overwatch.
>>344040553
Oh I'll give Mercy an inch, if you know what I mean.
>>344040675
Please go in depth? I do not understand.
>>344040654
>so what, we're gonna heal her by shooting her?
>>344040343
No pls nopls no sparks copypasta
I bet you ANYTHING it's going to be a sniper rifle that shoots heals over time and damage over time.
Left click pops a DoT and right click pops a HoT. The HoT probably autoaims at your allies a little. The DoT probably bypasses Rein/Winston shield, if not shields in general (fuck you zarya you whore).
Looks like she's got a grenade-mine of some kind? I'd guess it's a defensive emplacement like Venom Mine. Maybe it radiates a constant sonar effect like Hanzo's Sonic Arrow.
She'll also have a mobility move, of course, probably a climb-up-walls thing. I'd like it if hers could stop mid-wall and you could just sit there. That'd be fun.
As for her ult... if I had to guess it'll either be a worthless support Ult (something like your whole team gets a big HoT) or an actually useful offensive Ult (the entire enemy team starts ticking down for 20 hp per second and it doesn't stop for half a minute)
so shes gonna fire AOE heals
>>344040796
Oh I'll give her an inch of depth, if you know what I mean.
>>344040343
>headshotting niggas with full charged revive gun
fuck that game was fun
>>344040908
lets be real, the concept of healing bullets has been around for a while
>>344040675
>>344040902
That's not really something to be proud of, anon. A one inch penis is abnormally tiny
>>344040908
>valve invented shooting people to heal them in video games
Really grasping for straws now.
So, ideas:
Shift: Load Bionic Canister, essentially swapping between either Healing Biotics or Damaging Biotics
LMB: Primary fire will depend on canister loaded. Healing canister will heal a set amount of HP quickly over time. Could either be a low fire rate and high HP gain or the opposite, where you can stack multiple heals on one character for faster healing. Damaging Canister could instead deal damage over time to enemies hit, again you could stack multiple shots on an enemy to make a more toxic DoT on them. Initial damage is either low or nonexistent
RMB: Zoom ala Widowmaker. Not sure if any firing modes should differ
Ult: gives allies lifedrain
I'm not sure what you could use as an E ability
>>344040987
they nerfed her railgun's damage falloff, so shes a bit less busted.
>Been playing LBG in MonHun for the past two weeks
>Spend way too much time administering long-range suppository healing shots to my hammerbro because he keeps getting hit like a retard
>Now this is coming out
it's like poetry
it rhymes
>Brazil Overwatch twitter has a slightly different picture that includes Amari's name (Pharah's mom) in the to section along with Reyes and Morrison.
>>344038701
>how does a long range shooting ability work?
I guess nobody played killing floor. You literally just shoot people to heal them by certain amounts with cooldown. If you miss then you don't heal. That's it. It's useful as fuck in Killing floor especially since it's a game that revolves around a group of people like overwatch.
>>344041147
Blizzard pandering to the lowest common denominator, as usual.
>>344038762
Oh fuck Mercy being the ancient evil all long would be god tier tweest for overwatch. Making the conflict between repear and soldier and being the secret dark hand of talon. It literally would work.
What if it's like the UT shock rifle only with heals? M1 being a laser that heals. Good distance
M2 being an orb. Offers some healing but when shot with M1 it explodes for a good aoe heal bomb
>>344041247
brazilios dont buy games
>>344041371
>expecting people to reliably do shock combos on consoles
There have been so many times where I'm playing Zenyatta and I cannot properly heal my team because I'm pinned around a corner by a 76 or a McCree or whatever that'll pop my ass if I try to get out. Peeking out and applying a 90HP HoT was somewhat decent in those situations, however, and most of the time my team would clear the threat and I could come out, or sometimes I'd even get the drop on him when he wasn't focusing suppressing me and actually kill him myself.
I don't know what they have in store for Sombra but it better not make Zenyatta obsolete.
Im expecting poison damage. Would fit in of a defense/support harraser.
>>344041247
Pandering? In what way?
Doomfist when?
So Blizzard is just trying to distract people from the Competitive mode piece of crap by announcing a new hero?
>>344041076
>keep swap between healing and aids
>e throws the canister in the bottom right of the diagram with either poison or healing. think a grenade version of widowmaker/soldier things but the damage/healing is in one burst
>firing rate depends on zoom or not
>zoomed will be slower rate but high healing/damage
>unzoomed will be low healing/damage but very fast rate
>since its a mercy staff knockoff the shots are lasers and have no air-time
>holding a charge while zoomed will make the shot more potent, high burst healing but low uptime on constant healing
>ult should be a shock combo from UT
>>344041579
Holy shit I JUST realized they're releasing a sniper support when we literally already have one and it's debatably the worst or second worst character in the game
You guys ready to never see Zeny again?
>no damage
She better be amazing
if she doesn't constantly pester phara teammates about not finding a husband i will be disappointed
Guys what if her rifle doesn't heal and it's the little grenade thing that does
What if it's like a worse version of 76's heal but it literally just sits there on the floor forever
Like
You can poop out an immobile Lucio with a smaller AoE every, like, 12 seconds
And the rifle shoots canceraids DoT bullets and nothing else
>>344039846
Supply Drop.
Aoe stun, drops healthpacks and armor packs for your team and shields up the area for a time.
>no fire weilding hero
What the fuck blizzard
>>344041839
Mercy makes several references to not wanting her Biotic tech being used in the exact opposite of it's intended purpose. Meaning obviously it will be.
Wasn't Pharah's mom meant to be dead or something?
Also isn't she as old as 76 at this point?
Are we getting a grandma character or is she an ageless vampire necromancer like Mercy?
>>344041147
It's only been known since forever that Sombra = Pharah's mom.The odds are high that a certain 76 is her father
>>344042163
First I've heard of this
>>344042109
Pharah's mom's status is unknown. Dead, alive, or gone rogue, nobody knows yet.
>>344041247
>translating is now pandering
?
>>344042163
Sombra is assumed to be a sniper and Pharah's mom is confirmed a sniper. This is the only known correlation between the two.
I assume the healing mechanic will be
>Shoot enemy
>Friendly players around enemy you shot leeches life off of your target.
My best guess on how a fucking sniper healer will work anyway.
>>344041607
>Im expecting poison damage.
Would there be headshot damage multiplier?
>>344042109
>grandma character
that actually sound kinda cool
>>344039962
Blizz said they don't like DoT
>>344042545
>Genji's dash originally had a DoT on it
>removed it
yap
>>344040368
Or she'll outpace them.
Ult makes the next 5 shots when used on dead team mates revives them.
>>344042382
>>344042250
Must be living under a rock, there is a reason they've shown so much of her, especially in the artwork. She is the only character in the original team poster that wasn't in the game yet.
>>344042819
That doesn't mean Pharah's mom is Sombra.
>>344039962
DoT's are shit in shooters you cancerous twat.
>A support I'd probably love to play and actually be good at since I'm a pretty good sniper in vidya (although I really don't like Widowmaker/Hanzo)
>Everyone and their moms will be playing her for months after release
Fuq
What if she has a soldier 76 ult, but it's with a sniper rifle and she can force-confirm shots again and again
>>344042545
What about widow's venom mine
>>344042985
What do you expect? People not to touch the new hero at all?
>>344042985
If a widow or hanzo can actively stop the cart or people capping the point, I have no problem with you playing them. Most of the time people who take the role are just shit at it.
>>344042985
Unless she's mediocre/shit.
Then people will stop playing her real quick and fall back on mercy/lucio.
>>344042934
Trust me, Sombra is Pharah's mother.
>>344041965
What wow clone is this?
>>344042819
It's still just speculation at this point.
Where are people getting the name Sombre from?
I hope she isn't a secondary support like Zen/symmetra. I want a hero viable as the team's only support that isn't Lucio or Mercy
>>344043438
I mean the character would have to be broken beyond belief to be better or on equal ground as lucio/mercy.
>>344043552
Then nerf Lucio and Mercy :^)
>>344042109
If pic related is actually her, she might be a cyborg like genji.
>>344043512
Aren't there more names revealed that don't have playable characters yet? What makes people think the new hero being revealed is Sombra?
>>344043230
>>344042934
It's fairly obvious, shown off all over in the artwork and there are already a multitude of voice lines that allude to her in the game. Sombra is a sniper who wears a mask to hide their appearance and it just so happens that her mother was also a sniper who """""disappeared""""".
>>344043718
Probably going to happen eventually.
Don't know what you'd nerf for lucio though. Mercy obviously just needs her ult to charge slower.
>>344043735
fuuuck that's sick. glad they're adding more cybor characters.
>>344043745
Blizzard has stated that the next 3 heroes are Sombra, Soundquake, and Doomfist.
Who honestly gives a shit when Lucio is the only viable healer?
What a shitty game
>>344043812
>Don't know what you'd nerf for lucio though
I can see his healing radius taking a hit. That or rate of HP replenishment for himself being lowered so he isn't consistently healing himself faster than he's taking damage or something stupid like that.
>>344043735
that screencap looks like a widowmaker skin
maybe its a placeholder for the model, who knows
>love playing widowmaker when its suitable to do so
>don't mind supporting when it isn't every damn game
>egyptian waifu pharah
>>344043950
[citation needed]
>>344043812
>Make her ult charge slower
>Her ult becomes even more precious
>Makes playing Mercy less enjoyable
>Makes her even more of a target
Yeah no. If anything Mercy needs a buff, some sort of personal defensive ability so she isn't just a punching bag that has to hide.
>>344039846
Fire biotic inverter at the ground or wall. It will absorb and deny enemy healing in radius and redistribute it among allies.
>>344043793
>reyes in the dark
>morrison in the light
This was the last time they met as friends. Pottery.
>>344044125
I'd rather her stay the same over her getting buffed.
>>344038448
i'd slippery slope mercy
>>344039962
Guldan is next in heroes of the storm and he plays exactly like a wow warlock
>>344044541
>Exactly like a WoW Warlock
yeah until they removed Fel Flame because ''muh warlocks can't have any mobility, thats a mage's job''
>>344039745
>Over health
overhealing?
>>344043950
>Soundquake
>Doomfist
Where have they stated this? If so, I'm hype, but I think you're bullshitting.
>>344044220
why is reyes emo BEFORE he got turned into a spooky ghost?
>>344040908
most of the retards who use this don't even know you can heal with it anyways
>>344039809
>He can't aim a lightning gun
Please don't tell me this is the average skill level in OW
zenyatta is already obsolete trash lets make another support who will overshadow him even more
i hope with an extra support they won't feel guilty about moving symmetra to defense, where she belongs
>>344044684
Jelly of Morrison
>>344044684
He grew envious of Morrison since, despite the two of them developing the concept for and eventually initiating Overwatch it was Morrison that was dragged into the spotlight as the primary focus. Reyes was there, and it's implied he was only just tolerated by the rest of the members of an Order that he went out of the way [with Morrison] to create. He eventually headed Blackwatch, the "shadow ops" variant of Overwatch which was the start of a descent into egomania, envy and other shit.
I really wish there was a dedicated comic telling this shit in detail so we don't have to pick up bits and pieces.
>>344044809
they're gonna buff zenyatta soon, they already discussed this. get with the times anon
Would be interesting if the took the route that Evolve did with its support and medic classes.
Sniper could heal allies, amplify damage, and/or tag enemies so they'd be visible through walls.
Of course all these would be fairly weak as should the base damage to e fair.
>>344039809
>Can't aim a rail gun
DUDE
>>344045167
Hitting someone with a singular hit isn't a problem, keeping it on someone at long range to do consistent damage would be harder.
>>344044076
I think it might work if they keep his healing radius the same, but apply a dropoff in the amount it heals based on distance. it would force Lucio to more actively stick with the team, rather than just having to skate around within 50 feet of someone
>>344045281
No it wouldn't.
Unless......you were a console gamer. You aren't right?
>>344045312
That's a solid balance.
>>344038448
I don't think it's Sombra, doesn't seem Shadow like at all.
I thought shooting was how you healed people with Lucio when I first played him, I was disappointed that wasn't the case so I'm happy they're gonna add a character that can actually do that.
>>344038448
fuck off to /vg/ you cancer
>>344038762
Technically, Mercy has killed every overwatch member and herself multiple times.
>Matchmaking still dog shit
>Game still an unbalanced mess
>Lets release some new heroes so the good goys will buy up them loot boxes!
Classic Blizzard.
>>344041965
game?
>>344044649
Google the names and you'll find all the info, various videos and interviews. They even recently added what is believed to be images of soundquake to a few maps, they tend to add teasers to the maps when a new hero is on the way.
>>344040368
Nope. Like Zenyatta, D.Va, Mei and all the other classes that were added in the beta, they will be extremely overpowered the week they are introduced and nerfed into oblivion and the next.
>>344045369
>All new heroes are going to have to be balanced around console players, so there won't be any abilities that require skill to execute
>>344045442
shut up spic
>>344046104
Console is being balanced separately from PC. Toblerone had a massive turret damage nerf on consoles.
>>344042163
That makes sense, granted I think that Reaper and Mercy had a thing to be frank.
>>344045785
>No
>No
>Yes
Step your game up
>>344044081
In one of the videos the devs say before making a new models for the character they take Widowmaker's model and slap some new characteristics on her to see if they're balanced.
>>344045078
The other important thing is Reyes was "Get the fucking job done" while Morrison was "Everyone goes home alive" and the higher-ups liked Morrison's style better.
>>344045951
But man that one week is golden. I hate CSGO and only played it because for years it was literally the only thing my roommate would play but I had tons of fun with the first few days the revolver was added to the game. All those spray pattern memorizing faggots couldn't handle a railgun.

>>344046104
Luckily that's not the case, consolefags get separate patches. Torb rapes console kids so he got nerfed there.
>>344043793
>McCree and Pharahs mom
You just KNOW
>>344046562
How fucking tall is McRee. Or, how short is Genji?
>>344046427
I'm nowhere near to a blizzdrone but saying that is just straight up lying
>>344046370
Guess that really helped Morrison be the poster boy for Overwatch while Reyes would put the mission before the man. According to Pharah's comic Sombra was the same--though Winston and Morrison [in-game] will relay to Pharah about how much of a good person Sombra was when she was in Overwatch and about how they loved her dirty underwear to which Pharah disregards their praise because Sombra was either emotionally distant, neglectful or just never around because the mission came first.
I really hope Reyes wasn't on his own. I know it's hinted that the other members just tolerated him and favored Morrison more but I really don't like the idea of Reyes being "that guy". It's too easy to paint him as the villain though he did do a nefarious thing by attempting to murder his best friend out of a dangerous cocktail of envy, desperation, spite and impotence.

Good character
>>344047196
Damn that art is good.
>>344046959
Woah.....
This...THIS is good bait.
>>344038448
Wonder if this will be more like Killing Floor mediguns or TF2 medi xbow. Honestly either was the only way I'd see Sombre going, since the sniping will have to be toned down to leave room for Widow while adding another much needed support
>>344047067
you do know how weak that is
healing from mercy and literally any other healing source is so fast and you don't need to aim
this literally needs to full heal to be viable + give a buff
depending on how fast the sniper is or if it needs charge
I saw this tiny-ass spider-robot thing in the hero concept art.
One of my friends said it could work as a stealth character by being extremely small, invisible to sentries/turrets/mines/whatever and being able to just walk normally on walls and ceilings.
I have had a raging boner ever since.
It won't happen, though.
>>344046809
I'm still not getting where Sombra = Phara's mom comes from. Just using the same weapon isn't enough.
For all we know a Talon sniper dueled Phara's mom and won then took her gun as a trophy
>>344043793
Does Tracer still have breasts?
I think that machine in her chest cannot be removed due to an accident right?
>Sombra is Spanish for Shadow
>Pharah's mom
What?
>>344043950
No they haven't, people just assume they are because we have the most info about them.
>>344047385
You're thinking about this more than Blizz ever did.
>>344047306
I hope they don't make her sniper an offensive weapon desu. It'd be lame if she was just a combination sniper-healer but worse at both than the dedicated heroes
>>344047591
Something about her being out of sync with normal time flow without it
Which is why she's still as young as that picture while everyone else aged
Except for Genji(?) Do cyborgs age?
>>344047796
So does she still have breasts or not?
>>344047591
Iirc it's not surgically attached or anything, she just can't take it off
>>344047716
Oh shit, Reaper's mom confirmed
>>344047716
They speak Spanish in Egypt you retard
>>344047716
it's possible that she cut her hair and changed her name
but i think they're going to try and push an "actual mexican" character who has lines on dorado since reaper/reyes isn't enough
So... it's going to be like a sniper version of the medic from Killing Floor?
>>344047716
They're just nicknamed Sombra by the locals.
That's not necessarily they're real nor preferred name.
>>344047895
Why wouldn't she?
So, who will be next after her?
>>344045078
Reaper had a hard life

>Lucio can heal 6 heroes at the same time within a certain radius
>>344048471
It's probably note worthy that this image doesn't have alot of the main cast we have now. And its not just "overwatch" only type characters; as per lucio
Mei, D.va and Zyra are missing for example, and some of the characters imagined originally could have been reworked.
I have a feeling we'll never see that biohazard type dude because he looks/fills such a similar role to a "mei" type character just imagining his weapon alone.

I'm assuming this is supposed to be some picture before Mei was a part of Overwatch itself, what with the extra no-names in the picture.
>>344048913
Pharah is 5'11"
>>344039407
Isn't that just Zenyatta's orbs?
Could be simple like a slow bolt action rifle that does a bit less damage than widowmaker, can fire shots that heal people, rather than heal overtime its instant, ult could be to provide everyone on the team with a damage buff similar to mercy.
>>344047591
She clearly still has breasts.

Tank looking dude on the right, radiation suit guy on the left and the robot in the middle are the three most visually developed ones. I'm going with the tank.

>>344049529
we have a while to go before blizzard is comfortable making clone characters, right now they want to be pretentious and make everyone super different which doesn't actually work and leads to very obvious heiarchies like mcree being a better 76 before the patch and a worse 76 after the patch
Should i play comp mode? Will i get anything else besides a fancy gold weapon?
>>344038448
What's the point of a sniper-healer when you already got Zenyatta in the game? Unless they're going to repurpose him.
>>344050082
A shitty comp-related spray and a shitty comp-related icon.
>>344050009
My point is it wouldn't be a clone just because it looks similar
We don't have characters that do reliable slows yet for instance
No significant damage over time heroes
No stealth heroesthank god

Zenyatta theoretically is like this:

New hero could lack a debuff, require skill based heal, have little or different damage
Overshadowing is a balance issue, not a kit issue. You can just tweak numbers

You talking about not being able to focus down a healer gave me a thought.
What if Sombra is a stealth character? It's not as if she's going to be an offensive powerhouse. I could see her defensive skill being some manner of stealth. I mean Sombra even means shadow.
>>344051262
Dirty Bomb has more players than Battleborn

My friend works at blizzard and I can confirm that the next hero is Sombra and she is Pharah's mom, and she uses that healing snipe rifle as a weapon.
>>344052452
she was 37 when overwatch disbanded and morrison was a strapping young lad
morrison is now a 60-something year old grandpa
she's still "37" because she's an ageless biotic non-human creature
>>344052303
i don't know if the hologram thing is right, but take a look at the disco ball looking thing by the image of soldier's healing field

Time to stop posting anon
>>344052582
is there any proof for this? not saying you are lying its just that ive basically read everything about this game and from what Ive gathered she was in her twenties when she was apart of overwatch
So can we finally admit blizzard has payed shills here? Since people were saying le range healer sniper long time ago fucking disgusting CAN YOU FUCKING SHILLS LEAVE THIS BOARD?
>>344052219
The game really needs more melee characters. We a new healer to differentiate from Mercy/Lucio and we certainly need a useful sniper class that's not Widow/Hanzo but so far only Reinhardt fills the melee niche, I hope hes next I want an offensive brawler.
>>344043745
Reaper has an audio clip mentioning Sombra.
I think it was "where's sombra when you need her."
>>344053121

>>344049661
She'll also undoubtedly have the worst hps to offset her essentially infinite heal range with zero danger to herself.
If she can outheal any of the current support, it will completely remove and point to those characters, since she'll already be the best healer at delivering damage by being so far from the front with a literal cancer rifle.
>>344049502
>executive producer DAN SCNIEDER

>when you realize tracer gets the bullets back by rewinding time so they're back inside her guns
>>344050374
And her codename.
Reaper is really called Gabriel Reyes
Sombra is really called Ana Amari
that works
>>344054320
such stupid fucking shit if she can do that then she should be a bona fide fucking timelord and be able to age people forward to their deaths and timewarp everywhere.
>>344042163
>The odds are high that a certain 76 is her father
No they're not, retard
>>344054694
You think she can't?
If tracer can't take off her time machine thing, how does she take a shower?
>>344054887
Maybe it's waterproof
>>344054887
She has a special built privacy room where she can take it off
we can just imagine it has a shower and all that shit
>>344050374
I seriously hope that means that Reyes and Amari had a thing. Pharah's story implied that her mother always put the mission before the man--and Reyes did the same whereas Morrison was about everyone making it through alive. While it stands to reason that mostly everyone gravitated toward Morrison it's good to know Reyes wasn't alone in the god damn dark because it'd be too easy to make him into a villain that way. However if someone else felt the way he did it gives him some nuance.
What does it mean?
>>344054987
[citation needed]
>>344039156
Reminder that Reaper is just a cloud of nanomachines with Reyes' memories.
>>344055121
If Pharah's character comic actually reflects the truth at all, Ana's lesson to Pharah through her old colleagues was that the team is your family. Which does seem inconsistent given the way Pharah talks about her in game.
>>344055372
>The team is your family
>Not your actual family
>Pharah was neglected by her mother
>Everyone loved her mother and she was a great teammate
Makes complete sense
>>344055526
When you put it like that, I guess it does
>>344055249

>>344048471

>>344048903
top middle is a suave lookin' motherfucker
>>344055227
Apparently quite a lot of heroes "plug" into their weapons.
>>344055372
Pharah actually comes to resent any positive remark Morrison, Winston or Angel tells her concerning her mother. Her mother always put the mission first and as such Pharah didn't get to see her. It can be assumed there was neglect there, be it on purpose or not we won't know until Sombra is released.
Also Pharah is bitter. Overwatch got all of the time with her mother that she wanted. Pharah got the same tattoo and trained herself to join Overwatch because she wanted to be a part of her mother's world. To be acknowledged. By the time she came of age Overwatch disbanded and her mother mysteriously disappeared so that dream jumped out the window.Guess that's why they call it windowpane. Windowpane. Pain. Get it?
So that's it. Mommy issues. I'd like it if Ana was distant when she was home and only felt alive with her team.
So is Overwatch already dying? I wanted to buy it but it sounds like lots of people have quit already.
>>344055836

Angry Joe made a great video about Overwatch. Overwatch is only medi core, because it has as good as no content.
So many sucking Blizzards dicc that they don't realize, that they are stupid. If you destroy Overwatch competition (like Battleborn), Blizzard will screw you over big time.
Will Blizzard make updates? Yes, but they will only release bad updates and safe the good ones for a time with more competition. If the shills wouldn't have attacked Battleborn, Overwatch would have 2 new Heroes and new maps with a great competitive mode already. But thanks to the sucking and destroying of the Battleborn reputation, Overwatch has no competition and saved all the updates for later.
>>344043793

It seems mostly the same
>>344052389
Even if they do they said they would never add unlockables that change character stats. They want everyone to have access to everything that isn't cosmetic from the start.
So even if they do add weapons (which they won't) they'll be free and unlock immediately for everyone.

Same with Tracer. My honest guess is Soldier has hyper aged
>>344041965
Shame engineer was fucking useless when I played years ago.
>>344055227
Clearly not the same rifle
>>344039745
It looks like you shoot one of Soldier 76 healing things which would be much more practical than trying to headshot your allies.
>>344063468
It fits if you consider shit went down fast and 76's near-death turned his hair white for reasons.
>>344063684
well this is concept art
could still be the same gun
>>344063935
Ana was also in Overwatch before Mercy was, and still used a long rifle of some sort.
>>344064197
No one can say whether the gun blizzard tweeted is from the present OW or the past OW
>>344064320
The Brazilian and Latin American twitters for Overwatch tweeted a different version of the blueprint that say A. AMARI in the recipients. I think it's safe to say it's old. Even before that the fact that it's being sent to Reyes too would indicate that it's old. The rifle that Ana is shown with is pretty consistently the same looking in the promotional material we've seen of her so far and significantly different looking than the biotic rifle.
A healing Sniper Rifle sounds pretty fucking OP to me

How will they make Sombra viable without making Zenyatta obsolete or "Discord Orb the hero" exactly?

I don't want to live anymore.
>>344064967
Her normal shot will do more damage but she probably won't have any manner of damage amplification effect so Zen + Discord will probably still do more damage. And no Zen rightclick equivalent. And her heal will probably be slightly more involved than looking in the general direction of your ally and pressing shift.
>>344064967
Sombra has to be LOS
Zenyatta doesn't
>>344055850
That he is. Probably won't ever be playable though.
>>344065549
Also I imagine that her gun doesn't do any Widowmaker bullshit so she's probably going to have a pronounced weakness in close range. If that's the case I hope she has some kind of utility/defense/escape outside of healing and shooting.
>>344065549
Zen's rightclick isn't worth much honestly
>>344065618
Zenyatta not being in LoS means he's not doing damage which means he's a wasted hero pick
His heal is 90 over 3 seconds without LoS, that's pretty shitty. Sombra will probably heal for about the same amount with just one tap and then she can also duck around a corner just like Zen
>>344065936
>I hope she has some kind of utility/defense/escape
>Literally building a better Zenyatta
>>344065493
Just wait 3 months until your sins can be washed away and you begin anew
>>344038448
So the rifle has the healing equipment integrated, but possibly coming from the smaller barrel below the main one? So the main barrel could be damage dealing, and by the looks of it, it's nothing light. Probably slow as fuck, anti-material, good against armour. Looks like Soldier's healing thing has been used to create a grenade.
Not sure how this could really stand out with two strong support characters, might be an improved Zen.
>>344066124
Otherwise she's just Zen without discord orb and strictly worse. Something needs to fill that space.
>>344066310
>might be an improved Zen
It's really looking that way.
I sincerely hope they just rebalance Zen into an Offense character and have Sombra be the long-range support.
>>344065493
>playing support in comp
8/10 times if you're losing the game it's because your offensive classes aren't doing enough
and i don't know how the fuck you put up with not being able to switch to obvious counterpicks because you locked yourself into support

You grab your own people out of danger and shoot them in the face to heal them.
>>344064858

>>344068235
Why not just make it that if she just kills someone in general they can't be rezzed? She already has a fucked up cancer gun that uses Mercy's tech. Although you should probably have to actually be the one to kill them rather than just getting an assist.
>>344038448
New overwatch hero
>>344068617
Or maybe rather than that, Sombra has to inflict some specific amount of damage for the character to become unable to be rezzed, but if Mercy heals that damage Sombra has to redo it. You could even scale it per character.
i knew it would bea healer
guessin those are heal nades or a aoe stationary healing turret
>>344068991
if sombra really does end up doing damage over time i think it's fair that it lasts like a second or two and if they die while under it they can't be rezzed
>>344038448
Why don't they just release the punk rocker chick guitarist hero? Its supposedly already playable and tested.
>>344043793
This pic reminds me, you don't get nearly enough interpersonal dialogue between Genji and his old Overwatch Team mates
>>344069261
Yeah, I think it's fair that if she has a passive ability to be able to dunk someone else's ultimate they should have the ability to be counter-negated somehow. Rather than just soul sniping or being put in some perma-status until the revive.
Assuming her bullets do anything than shoot but surely they're going to have some manner of side-effect, right? At least as a cool-down if not a passive.
