Boooooo! Should have been Doomfist.

Doomfist is on the way, we know they are working on multiple heroes at a time and that there are/was more than 1 in the later stages of development. So its probably her and Doomfist that were the later stage characters.

 

[xviper]

so when do we expect the new hero to come to consoles ?

 

[Kinyou]

I think a Pit Lord skin would fit her better personally.

True, that would work pretty well.

Thinking about it, an Immortal from StarCraft 2 could also work and would fit the robot theme.

 

[LiK]

After seeing her emotes and highlight intros, she looks like a very cute character.

 

[benzopil]

so when do we expect the new hero to come to consoles ?

1-2 weeks max

 

[Symphonic]

Love the design of the new hero, and her kit looks really fun as well.

Sad to hear they're rolling back the Bastion changes though :/

They're not? Just modifying them so he can't withstand constant fire from any hero.

so when do we expect the new hero to come to consoles ?

Tuesday if she's balanced, next Tuesday if she's not.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Worst desing in the whole character roster.
And not becuase the rest are all great, that they are, but becuase this one is clearly VERY inferior.

EDIT
Wow, the legendary skins (the ones that change the face i suppose are the legendaries) make it look even worse.

 

[Croc]

What are they changing with Bastion?

 

[Satch]

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

Its a Lucio skin! i love this

 

[LiK]

What are they changing with Bastion?

lowered Ironclad to 20%.

 

[Magwik]

Zarya bubbles no longer negate boops
BLESS

 

[KarmaCow]

What are they changing with Bastion?

They're just reducing the Ironclad damage reduction to 20% (from 35%). Everything else seems intact.

 

[Symphonic]

I think the mask, drum, horns, and legs are really inspired. Carries South African culture wonderfully and identifiably.

Body is kinda boring.

 

[sappyday]

Damn she looks fun to play.

 

[shintoki]

Design is trash, but the hero sounds great

 

[YuriLowell]

Wow worst character design in the game so far.

 

[Swiggins]

She looks super powerful in that youtube video.

People said the same thing about Sombra and look how that turned out

 

[Croc]

Awesome. Sounds good to me. I liked most of the changes but he was just too hard to kill.

 

[klaushm]

It's OR-15-A, as it's a modification of the base OR15 unit.

Thought of it as OR15.4 or OR15-4, like patch 4 in semver. But the A work as good as that hehe.

 

[QuantumSquid]

Boring design.

 

[Neoxon]

Orisa actually looks pretty fun to play. She may actually replace Reinhardt as my go-to tank.

That said, judging by the blatant Doomfist mention in the Orisa origin video as well as the 4chan leak, he's probably next in line to be playable.

 

[Big Chungus]

I don't know why, but it looks to me like a robot mexican maid.

huh?

 

[xviper]

i gotta admit, i'm really disappointed

i wanted a Offense hero

i already main 3 Tank heroes, Reinhardt( my favorite in the game), Roadhog and Winston

i wonder if her shield could stop Reinhardt's charge, hope not

 

[veloxStrix]

I'm not sure when centaur robots became boring. This is news to me.

 

[NotLiquid]

i gotta admit, i'm really disappointed

i wanted a Offense hero

i already main 3 Tank heroes, Reinhardt( my favorite in the game), Roadhog and Winston

i wonder if her shield could stop Reinhardt's charge, hope not

The last character was already an Offense one. The game needed either a new Tank or Defense character.

 

[TheOMan]

So a winston/zarya hybrid?

And Zangief.

I mean Reinhardt.

 

[Zen Aku]

Bastion about to get a waifu

 

[SDBurton]

She looks awesome!

 

[KillGore]

The shield has 900 health, can be tossed pretty far, it seemingly lasts until it breaks and the ability immediately goes on cooldown (12 seconds). Wow.

As someone who wanted to main Winston, this is extremely disappointing. Winston's shield starts its cooldown once it breaks and has less health.

 

[Symphonic]

There are too many offense characters.

Next is likely defense.

 

[Apathy]

Its a Lucio skin! i love this

Naw it's a genji default skin

 

[Shaanyboi]

Out of fucking nowhere.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

I don't like the design at first, maybe it'll grow on me.

Can't wait for the ingame chatter between Orisa and Zenyatta

 

[Bronx-Man]

"Let's make a tank"
"Ok"
"Give her a machine gun"
"On it"
"Fuck it, give her a shield too"


Blizzard, you absolute madmen

 

[xviper]

i know but sombra was a HUGE disappointment

 

[Sanke__]

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?

Paragon

 

[Sou Da]

everything about her kit is insane. she plays like a character in a single player game.

 

[Zen Aku]

I know but I'm a HUGE disappointment

I think you got hacked.

 

[Symphonic]

i know but sombra was a HUGE disappointment

To you. She's been picking up popularity recently and likely to pick up more when Orisa starts getting play.

Doesn't change the fact that we need more of other heroes before we start getting more offense.

 

[AWizardDidIt]

She looks amazing. I don't get the complaints about her design, I think it's pretty unique for this game. I'm usually a Rein main but I could definitely see switching to her.

It's pretty cool how the first non-egyptian based African character is this high tech robot. Lots of neat cultural embellishments on her too.

 

[GearDraxon]

Not really feelin' the design as the first thing that struck my attention were the banana horns.

Look, people have been saying Overwatch is "too horny" for some time now.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Yeah, i think the body is basically the problem for me. And thats probably why I think the legendary skins are worst. They take out the most interesting part of the design.

Its not bad design, its just super boring.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

The design is of her is great. It's the abilities that seem uninspired. There's nothing really unique about em. Just a mishmash of other characters stuff.

 

[LiK]

PTR servers dying lol

 

[SilentRacoon]

What's wrong with the design? It looks like something plausible for an eleven years old kid to come up with, I think it's charming and they made it with that in mind. Or is people taking issue at the lack of breast and ass to arouse your thirst?

 

[Syf]

Pretty meh character design but at least they didn't drag it out anything like Sombra.

I do like some of those skins though. Reminds me of Talandar in SC2.

 

[Kor of Memory]

The design is of her is great. It's the abilities that seem uninspired. There's nothing really unique about em. Just a mishmash of other characters stuff.

The Grav-net ability is going to be great for "Boop"ing people off the world. Get people close to the edge, launch it over the side, activate it, and watch the enemy team get sucked off the edge to their death.

That's pretty fun.

 

[cakely]

Awesome! Looks great. Ties right in with the hints as well.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Bastion finally gonna get the hook up.

 

[maouvin]

Ilios well tho

The orb stopping and pulling in mid-air is big.
