No way Doomfist is going to be a playable hero, but I think more of a boss PvE event. I'd be surprised otherwise.

Introduced as that.

Becomes playable after the event.

 

[RedAssedApe]

what happened to that doomfist guy?

 

[Symphonic]

No way Doomfist is going to be a playable hero, but I think more of a boss PvE event. I'd be surprised otherwise.

Nah. The way the Overwatch team has talked about him and the amount of people that expect it means he's a lock for a character.

 

[Salarians]

Sounds like a fun character. Rhino beetle skin is cool.

 

[ArchedThunder]

So this is a thing.

 

[Acidote]

That looks downright like a toy. I wonder how much money they're making in merchandising.

 

[StayDead]

So it's that girl Efi who created this robot, who is designed in order to fight off Doomfist. Source: the youtube link in the OP.

I'm OK with this.

Or, as the Rule 34 will show.

Beat off doomfist probably.

 

[Exploratory]

OH FUCK YES

 

[Arkeband]

That is an ugly ass character with some pretty boring ass abilities.

 

[jediyoshi]

Nah. The way the Overwatch team has talked about him and the amount of people that expect it means he's a lock for a character.

I imagine the way people talk about him is the reason why he's on the back burner, they don't want to set a precedent where community dictates something like VA.

 

[SargerusBR]

Does the beetle one by any chance look like the crypt lord from Warcraft 3?

Edit: nevermind. Totally missed opportunity if Blizzard doesn't do it though.

An Anub'arak-like skin is totally happening.

 

[LiK]

what happened to that doomfist guy?

most likely the next hero after Orisa.

 

[hao chi]

I don't really like her facial expression, but her abilities sound interesting. I'm a bit worried that she'll be practically mandatory for every team though.

I was literally posting this damn. Anyway 3 straight female characters! That's practically unheard of right? Has that ever happened where 3 DLC characters are all women in a non all female game?

Not quite what you're looking for, but Rainbow Six Siege has had one new female every time they've added characters (they add one new attacker and defender at once).

 

[frontovik]

Bastion's waifu? Looks uninspired.

 

[ultron87]

That white legendary skin looks like a Metroid Prime suit and I'm into it.

 

[NeoRaider]

Played two matches with her and i love her.
She feels a lot like Zarya (not Zarya fan really), but like upgraded and better version of her.

Love her powerful gun and her shield. Halt is also very powerful and can do crazy things... She is amazing.

 

[sappyday]

No way Doomfist is going to be a playable hero, but I think more of a boss PvE event. I'd be surprised otherwise.

Either that or he'll be the last or second to last hero we get.


Edit: although that 4chan leak says otherwise

 

[Espada]

Looks like the 4chan leaks were right.

Wait, what were the leaks?

Anyway, this came out of nowhere but I definitely appreciate this over the long slog of a campaign that was Sombra's reveal.

 

[Symphonic]

I imagine the way people talk about him is the reason why he's on the back burner, they don't want to set a precedent where community dictates something like VA.

Potentially, yeah. I also think it's just as likely though that he's delayed because of the community's Crews hype.

 

[CertifiedFP]

That is an ugly ass character with some pretty boring ass abilities.

Yeah, IDK why, but this strikes me as a filler/Running-out-of-Ideas kind of character.

 

[Mupod]

So this is a thing.

damn, I should start believing everything I read on 4chan

 

[wildfire]

I'd ask you to Google "centaur monster girls," but that speaks for itself.

Female monster porn is so much rarer than male monsters.

Should I or should I not search this?

 

[kirblar]

Nah. The way the Overwatch team has talked about him and the amount of people that expect it means he's a lock for a character.

Keep in mind there are multiples. #2 (villain) as a boss and #3 as a playable character would make sense.

 

[Askherserenity]

Man, lame design and boring abilities.

 

[Goodstyle]

Doomfist will be a woman, calling it now.

 

[KarmaCow]

Does Fortify block things like Roadhog's hook and Rein's Charge?

edit: Looks like Bastion's Ironclad got nerfed to 20% (down from 35%)
and Zarya's barriers not longer negates knockback wtf D:

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Those skins gat damn dawg.

Can't wait to play her

 

[TheStruggler]

i feel so bad for winston lol

 

[Symphonic]

Keep in mind there are multiples. #2 (villain) as a boss and #3 as a playable character would make sense.

Isn't #2 gone? Did we ever get more details on past Doomfists?

 

[veloxStrix]

What were they?

From January.

Does Fortify block things like Roadhog's hook and Rein's Charge?

If Rein's charge is blocked, my PTSD from Armor Block in Halo Reach will kick in.

 

[LiK]

edit: beaten

 

[hydruxo]

Design of it is kinda uninspired but damn just watched some gameplay and she looks so fun to play. Can't wait to try her out.

 

[ultron87]

So, you can Halt people into pits, right?

 

[Acidote]

Do people really watch Kaplan talk into a camera for 12 minutes straight? Fucking hell he is drab.

I just did. And I know it may sound stupid, but I really respect them for committing to this level of communication.

 

[McStickenstein]

An Anub'arak-like skin is totally happening.

nyxnyxnyx

Spoiler

wait that's DOTA, and Blizzard would never do a DOTA crossover

 

[Symphonic]

So, you can Halt people into pits, right?

Yup. Moonmoon tested it earlier. That alone will make her a blast to play.

 

[LiK]

Do people really watch Kaplan talk into a camera for 12 minutes straight? Fucking hell he is drab.

He's not the best speaker but the information is gold.

 

[Trey]

her gun might be a problem. it's pretty decent on the dummies.

 

[Mupod]

An Anub'arak-like skin is totally happening.

as someone who literally dresses his Death Knight in WoW up like a Crypt Lord that'd be sweet. But they seem to be keeping the crossover stuff relegated to HOTS.

 

[Exploratory]

Do people really watch Kaplan talk into a camera for 12 minutes straight? Fucking hell he is drab.

He's at the forefront of the best company in video games. Their communication is ridiculous and sets the standard every other developer should be striving towards.

Spoiler

And they could still be better.

 

[Cels]

she's a uniquely-shaped shaped female hero. i think that should satisfy some people.

 

[Pachimari]

This is the first character design I haven't liked in Overwatch. Of course I'll give her a chance and time to shine though.

 

[wildfire]

No way Doomfist is going to be a playable hero, but I think more of a boss PvE event. I'd be surprised otherwise.

I hate the idea of Doomfist being strictly PvE. There was an MMO that actually had raids playing against pdev controlled boss. It would be cool if as a reward some could play as Doomfist and as another reward the best teams would run a 3 way vs game with Doomfist representing an entire faction all by himself.

 

[Wanderer5]

all her skins

Not bad selection. I like the blue beetle skin in particular.

 

[KarmaCow]

she's a uniquely-shaped shaped female hero. i think that should satisfy some people.

Jeff specifically pointed this out as a goal in the dev vid.

 

[Magwik]

Yep that's a Rein 2.0

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

The bulky body design makes me wish it was a male instead, as thats the body type I like on male characters. The loin cloth looks silly, but at least its not on the alt costumes.
Other than those two grievances, this robot thing looks ok.

 

[StayDead]

Zarya has been in the game since launch? So has widowmaker.

 

[NotLiquid]

Her gravity pull seems like it'd kind of counter Lucio's speed boosts.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Looks badass

Doom first confirmed final boss for the PvE mode?
