New Overwatch Hero Orisa Revealed, released on PTR

Not really feeling the design to be honest. Maybe you can make robots only look so interesting I guess.

I love playing as tanks though, so it's cool to have another option. But nothing, NOTHING, will ever dethrone D.Va. She's the best.
 
Do people really watch Kaplan talk into a camera for 12 minutes straight? Fucking hell he is drab.

He's continually praised for his commitment and transparency. Hard to be exciting when going into intense detail like that. There's fun shorter videos out there just for you.
 
I almost hope doomfist is never revealed, but he's just some asshole you never see

Next hero

" Doomfist stole my wallet and hit on my wife"
 
Maybe it's just me, but those abilities almost sound like Zarya's.

Actually, she looks like a combination of a few characters' various abilities.
 
My first impressions:

She has the best range out of any tank. Her main gun is really good, a machine gun that is projectile based but seemingly doesn't have damage drop off (however it does slow her down).

The barrier seems perfect to protect her ultimate. She's a more offense oriented tank from what I gather.

Her fortify ability, if I get it correctly, makes her a really good Mei / McCree counter. She seems like she was made to tank ultimates.
 
The Fortify thing feels like it could help be a Roadhog hook counter.

You could potentially place her barrier and supercharge on the front of a payload, but the fact that they're both stuck on the ground feels more like a defense focused tank, which contrasts with Reinhardt being able to move with the team.
 
Seems like the newer heroes have a bit of power/utility creep. Sombra might be an exception, but both Ana and Orisa provide A LOT of utility that other heroes do not. And Sombra actually hacks health packs and silences, which no other hero can do. Interested in seeing how Orisa will affect the meta.
 
They indirectly buffed roadhogs even more because that pull will pull people away from reins shield for him to hook.
 
I think the design is a bit meh, it's not that I dislike robots in general as I love Zen it's just that this robot looks weird.

Well hopefully she got some cool ass legendary skins.

In the 4chan leak, it was mentioned they were trying to get a hero in that could be used as an alternative to Reinhardt, it'll be interesting to see if they succeeded on that front.
so I guess this means Doomfist is an attack or defense character right?
Like he was ever going to be anything but offense.
 
I do kind of wish she was remote controlled by the girl instead of being an autonomous robot. Just would differentiate her more from the other robots we've already got.

a new map where randomly throughout the match "Doomfist was here!!" tags appear on the walls
 
Who was the gaf member that said they would not do another female character? Eat crow.

I'm glad they didn't drag this like they did with Sombra.
