Support NeoGAF

[RedEther]

As a fan of Laura from SFV this design pleases me.

 

[Blam]

It's real. I just checked the address that was on the picture. It linked directly to a blizzard hosted site.

 

[Surface of Me]

Having lived through all of the gaming eras where people played static versions of games for years until sequels or upgraded versions hit, it is to me.

Sure, our expectations for games have now changed, but I'd still argue that five months is nothing and that we've gotten plenty in that time, never mind the fact that you have to have realistic expectations for what can come out in the months soon after launch as the game (and its flow of content) properly ramp up.

Halo 5, Rocket League, and Rainbow Six Siege all make Overwatch's post launch support look like a fucking joke. It is inexcusable.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

100% real and she looks AMAZING.

 

[Fuz]

If it's true... horrible, uninspired design.

 

[TheCongressman1]

After so many great designs it was just a matter of time until they made a character look generic.

True. Even if fake it's bound to happen eventually, shame.

 

[Spirited]

I like the design and I really can't wait to see what her kit is.

 

[Bear Force One]

Absolutely stunning. Gimme.

 

[Tabby]

100% real and she looks AMAZING.

How do you know?

 

[PandaAttack]

That's Alejandra!

 

[Blam]

How do you know?

Because the blanked out URL was from an internal blizzard site.

 

[Spirited]

How do you know?

The url that was in the picture before led to an internal blizzard site, still not sure if it's 100% legit but it seems pretty likely.

 

[Ashodin]

SFM makers and tumblr art peeps hungry

 

[Odrion]

eat shit blizzard ARG

 

[Archpath1]

Yikes

Game is dying out for me
Needs more idk

 

[Sn4ke_911]

How do you know?

Just my guess.

Also the new brawl sounds pretty cool.

 

[antitrop]

That's Alejandra!

I'm going to laugh for a week straight if it's true, because that was the most outlandish of all the theories.

 

[Arion]

Laura's design is pretty good.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Hopefully the new brawl will let us collect points to spend on Halloween items. I need those Junkrat and Roadhog skins but I don't trust my luck.

I lived through that to but I am kind of in a similar spot. Probably put a few hundred hours and now just play the game a few hours to try a new update. To be honest I think the game overall has me burnt out they could add someone new every two weeks and I would probably still would feel the same.

 

[JBwB]

Nice desgin!

Because of her SMG-like weapon I'm getting the impression that she'll have very fast paced playstyle. Could be wrong though.

 

[Speely]

I like her design. Also like the possibility of a PvE mode. Maybe this update will get me back into OW.

 

[MUnited83]

She looks great, can't wait.

 

[Drilbit777]

I honestly thought that was Laura from street fighter at first lol

 

[ShinMaruku]

BOOM that's how you start a fight and finish it quickly.
Bonita.

When I see this I just reply to myself, "Bon"

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I love her. Feminist icon.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

Guess I should wipe the dust of the game.

Spoiler

And finally purchase PS+ again.

 

[Nintendoga]

Getting Battleborn vibes from that design.

 

[Thorn]

Getting Battleborn vibes from that design.

Ew. That game is like the benchmark for ugly character design.

 

[sappyday]

So chances are Sombra will be out by the end of this month? Or the beginning of November?

 

[Lavalamp1138]

So chances are Sombra will be out by the end of this month? Or the beginning of November?

The texts seems to say she's coming out along with the Halloween update, right? So, this month.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Hope she has a cool personality and looks good in motion. Not a fan of the haircut but if I like her im sure it will grow on me....now the only question is, is she defense or support?

 

[UberLevi]

Hate that design, hopefully she has a cool skin like Ana's Shrike skin. Oh well, maybe Doomfist will have a cool default.

 

[hydruxo]

Next week. Halloween event will probably start Tuesday since the lootbox leak says the event ends on November 1st. That would make it a 3 week long event, just like the Summer Games event in August. With 100+ cosmetics, they have to give the players ample time to work on collecting them.

 

[Doop]

I like that design. I'm a fan of weird hair and robot limbs.

 

[K.Sabot]

so sombra is the bad lady from deus ex human revolution

 

[Roubjon]

What an awesome character. Hope she comes out the next week.

 

[SeanR1221]

I think she looks great.

Can't wait for her and the Halloween event

 

[Bear Force One]

Ok Blizz - Sony - Microsoft, make sure you have your patches on point next.week for this. No more waiting.

 

[antitrop]

2 Supports in a row would be extremely unlikely. She's probably DPS or Defense.

Although I could see her being a Support in preparation of moving Symmetra into the Defense category with her potential redesign forthcoming.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Wait for BlizzCon.

Symmetra is getting re designed?

 

[BossDarkseid]

Symmetra is getting re designed?

Jeff said not wholesale, like how some people want her turrets to heal allies as well as damage enemies etc. He said they'd rather move her to Defense than do that sort of change but did admit they're looking into the numbers side of things but her adjustments won't be that soon and more likely some time next year. I think.

Edit: If Sombra is still friends with Reaper then it'd be cool for her to be a sort of tech-based tank buster.

 

[Nirolak]

Wait for BlizzCon.

Um, she's in the Halloween build patch notes, so that'd be a bit late.

 

[daman824]

Event sounds amazing. Hopefully they change the time of day on Eichenwalde and add some spooky sound effects for it

Ah cool.

I'm thinking of abilities....

I bet she can make herself invisible or set up decoys of herself.

Ultimate will be making the team invisible or appear as friendlies.

 

[Dimitri LH]

the Amomentincrime Website is at 83% for those who are wondering

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Spy-like character would be cool.

 

[Fancolors]

I love the TF2 Spy, but I can't imagine a character like that working in OW. He works well on pubs with 9 to 12 people and if there are no more than two, but it's kinda hard to not notice there is a player on the enemy team missing when it's constant 6v6.

 

[labx]

Sombra's a character? Thought for sure it was gonna be something like this:

wait, what? Is this true?
