I'm so sorry.

 

[antitrop]

To someone on PC: can you use her gravity well thing into the hole on Ilios and draw people into the hole?

Yup, MOONMOON did it on stream in his first game with her.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

I'm guessing those who are surprised at her skills reflecting a culmination of other hero skills didn't read this list:

A hero made of other hero abilities is sort of what I expected. I thought she'd be more like Taskmaster from MvC 3 though.

 

[Kor of Memory]

This was also the same case for Ana.

Are you sure?

Judging by this video that was posted the same day she hit the PTR, Ana seems to have everything there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a45_ASa8aek

 

[King Gilga]

Well at least it's not a little girl.

Not a huge fan of the design though.

I like the idea of a child copying the abilities of heroes they idolize in creating their own.

 

[13randO]

Quality.

 

[NotLiquid]

Tested out and it looks like my suspicions are correct. Orisa can solo tank Bastion with relative ease with Barrier > Fortify from most distances if Orisa constantly has him targeted.

 

[Regiruler]

I like the bulky design a lot, the gameplay mechanics don't seem that interesting though, and I'm not going back to overwatch.

That's evil

 

[tr00per]

Whaaaaat? What is her weakness? At least make her slow??


Character is dank though

 

[KillGore]

Does Orisa survive Dvas ult if she is fortified?

 

[Data West]

finally, a new hero in the game with less of a personality than pharah

Whaaaaat? What is her weakness? At least make her slow??

her hitbox is massive like winstons b ut winston can jump away. she cant look up.

 

[Koobion]

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?

Same thing happened in Paragon with new characters recently

So you're saying that she's a large target?

 

[Kor of Memory]

Ehh.... we'll see.

She currently doesn't have any voicelines on the PTR to look at to get an idea of her personality.

She DOES however have a few emotes/victory poses and she seems to make a "cute face" with her eyes that kind of looks like this:

^_^

As well as:

>_<

Also Vindictus once they started realizing female cosmetic items sold way more than male ones.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

We needed someone to counter the tank meta

Not add to it!

 

[sappyday]

I kind of wish her personality was basically Efi's. Like she's this big tanky robot with the mannerisms and voice of a child.

 

[Kor of Memory]

No, we needed someone to take Reinhart out of the "mandatory for every comp game ever" slot.

 

[Shifty]

They specifically mention doomfist in both the developer update and Orisa's lore video.

He's building up. Keep in mind Blizzard never intended to make a Doomfist character, players latched on to the idea after the game launched, so it was always going to be a while for Doomfist to show up.

Having watched the lore video now it does make a bit more sense, but it's still totally out of left field.
They already did a bait-and-switch reveal with the whole Ana/Sombra thing, so doing it again is just trite imo. They clearly know how much groundswell Doomfist has at this point.

And I know, I know, Fool Me Once and all that, but I'm still disappointed.

 

[Kor of Memory]

So Rein seems to hurt himself when charging into a fortify Orisa:

He loses 170hp from running into her.

I'm sorry you feel deceived but Jeff all but said that Hero 24 wasn't going to be Doomfist a couple weeks ago. They were trying to be upfront about that from pretty early on.

...so Bastion then.

Also, Hog

 

[Dark Ninja]

Does she get fucked if she get's Hacked

The Ana/Sombra thing wasn't bait and switch. And neither is this, Kaplan even went out of his way to clarify that Doomfist would not be the 24th hero. Fans just like to jump to conclusion whenever Blizzard throws out little hints.

 

[SargerusBR]

You just know Fortify is going to be nerfed to the ground 1 week after it releases on live.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Does she get fucked if she get's Hacked

Much like Rein, yes. But she has a gun instead of a hammer of course.

oh this is great, omg

Does Hacked mean no alt-fire?

 

[AESplusF]

Uhhh...not really a fan of the design, oh well doomfist hype.

 

[Shifty]

I haven't kept my ear to the ground for Overwatch news since I stopped playing it on the regular, so that would explain that. My bad.

Hello Pot, I'm Kettle. How do you do? lol

I feel this opens the path for a hero in the future who can "steal" abilities

I can only imagine the nightmare it would be trying to code a Kirby-like character in overwatch.

You were supposed to bring balance to the tank meta, not leave it in darkness.

I lolled

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Even though I said she seemed uninspired due to her abilities, I'm now retracting that statement because it makes sense in the lore. It's super cool that, like some of you are stating, the kid designed osira after the abilities of other heroes she idolized. That's really cool to think about. Works on every level.

 

[Nudull]

Yay, new tanks!

 

[Tregard]

They should just use actual Kirby

 

[Tame Deity]

I'm always a fan of 4 legged tank robots but this one looks kinda meh idk. Those alt skins don't look too good either.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Switch announcement exclusive

 

[Kor of Memory]

This is kind of funny when you remember that Kirby is only 8 inches tall.

 

[NeoRaider]

Orisa is trending on Twitter.

Thats pretty surprising considering all the other shit that's going down today.

Gameplay for those who don't have access to the PTR:

[StrangeRoboMemory]

I'm not feeling her design at all. Strikingly boring...some people seem to love her, though, so hey - opinions. Might be fun to play, at least.

 

[Akuun]

The Oddjob of Overwatch.

Have Kirby not even start with a gun. He has to eat someone first.

 

[leaf_]

Kinda ugly and why WHY another hero?
This game desperately need new maps!! There`s more heroes released since launch than maps this doesn`t make sense =\

 

[Max Knight]

I don't really like her look, and her abilities just sound like worse/slightly different versions of abilities that already exist.

I mean, I'm sure Blizzard will find a way to reasonably balance her, but overall this character feels uninspired.

But that's just my opinion. Happy for the people who like her.

Sorry but... what??
You are complaining because they released new hero?

 

[Mine01]

It's kinda true that the game needs more maps tou but a new hero is always welcome
