Number one reason I can't get into Overwatch is the movement.
Character design like this is a close second though.

Fuck yeah! A new tank that's all I've wanted
She's female on purpose for the exact opposite reason
There are creative ways they could have bypassed this or even made her slightly older.
Either way, I don't want to turn this into a negative thread. So it's a start.

That user is a thirsty ass dude who wants every game to look like Dead or Alive so I wouldn't bother replying to them tbh.

Watching moonmoon now, she looks like so much fun.

I've definitely seen her face before.... Think it was when I was playing HOTS yesterday and there was a lucio on the other team, and his icon kept switching between this face and his...

I like her Nvidia themed skins.
Part of her kit makes me think she was designed so Sombra could have a hard counter.
Orisa is really good but right now I get the impression that she's heavily contingent on her active abilities. I thought Tracer would be good against her but the gravity pull might say otherwise.
I expected Bastion to be a hard counter to her but her gun is so good that she can theoretically tank Bastion on her own. She can drop down her projective barrier, fortify once it goes down and kill Bastion from long range while he's too busy picking down her barrier.

Can't stand her default head design but the legendary looks sick.

They waited for Launch night of the Switch to drop this on us.
Blizzard, what is wrong with you!

"We feel that humans who are horse-shaped are not well represented."
Honestly, making a quadrapedal unit one that moves really slow is strange. All of its abilities are things other units have. Imagine if they made it so you could ride it. That would have been unique.
The "Oh!" highlight intro is a must-have, hah. (I'll never get Potg)

I'm really happy with her design. It was kind of overwhelming at first but after seeing the skins and highlight intros I really like it.
The Carbon Fiber/Protector skins look great.
One thing I did catch recently re: player perceptions of gender ratio- a gigantic proportion of the male cast is masked or robotic, and that's something they should really try to avoid w/ future male heroes. On the flip side, they have definitely needed more variety in silhouettes on the female side, and Orisa's a great addition on that front.

Yup, they definitely wanted a Reinhardt alternative.

Even though PTR just exploded and won't start any games, she's insanely fun. Very very much so. In the vein of DVA.
Her Dynastinae skin is also the best.

Didnt notice before how expressive the eyes are. Very cool
I'm guessing she wont get one. Like Ana, she got a origin trailer who also didn't get a cinematic trailer.
Y'all are crazy, she's adorable and i love her!
Any given newchampion Hero on any given game with this sort of character set up seems "OP" and "Broken" while the community leanrs to use it and counter it.
Any given new

She is definitely my new Tank. Love the beetle legendarys.
Her and Ana would be best friends in the first half of the Season 3/Beyblade meta.
In fact I think they still might just make for perfect synergy. If she gets ulted and places her Supercharger behind a barrier, she could mow down an entire team. This is ignoring the fact that she can pull anyone who tries to get out of dodge. At least Reinhardt has range issues while Roadhog sacrifices control if he wants crowd control damage... but Orisa? NOPE.

I think a Pit Lord skin would fit her better personally.
I would argue not at all. Nobody knows how to play against her yet, but all her skills are balanced IMO.
I could see them lowering the damage on her gun to make it more like DVAs.
Everyone said the same thing about Sombra when she was revealed.
It's OR-15-A, as it's a modification of the base OR15 unit.

If youve played Armored Core youd know a quad unit is slow. Im pretty sure Orisa doesnt slide around either(in AC most if not all quadraped units slide to move faster) so it means shes top heavy in that regards.
Literally when any new hero arrives or are re-tooled they are labeled as broken. People are funny.
Of course he'll be playable. Why wouldn't he be?
