As much as I really want them to reveal a new character and for that new character to be Sombra, I don't think either will be happening. Love seeing the theories and everything that's been posted, though.
If we think about which heroes need more counters then the first one to come to mind is McCree. And how to counter him = negating his crazy burst damage. So maybe she makes the enemy unable to do damage for the next few seconds? Or makes an ally invincible for a short time. Both would help against McCrees of the world. Widowmaker also I guess.
Usually I am skeptical as well, but the stuff in the OP are somewhat convincing. Maybe the character isn't named Sombra and also isn't Ana Amari, but we might still get the support sniper...As much as I really want them to reveal a new character and for that new character to be Sombra, I don't think either will be happening.

So if they do announce a new character, when would this new character come out? 1 month? Have they even mentioned how frequently they want to add new heroes?
They noted it would be (notably) less often than Heroes of the Storm (which is an insane new hero every 3 weeks), but did note that "We're also working on a TON of post-launch features and content. It's going to be a pretty amazing summer..."

Hmm and this is all free?
Until they change their mind and go "well thisnis technicall a expansion so we are charging for it"
Yeah. They're selling loot crates to fund it.
Loot crates are purchasable with $$?
I don't know when this will happen, but I really think that since there are, at present, 6 offensive, 6 defensive, 5 tanks, and 4 supports, that not long after launch 2 supports and 1 tank will arrive to bring it to an even 6 heroes in each class. If I had to guess, I'd say that Sombra will be a support sniper (but I don't think she'll be Pharah's mother), that Athena will be the other support, and that the tank will be either Doomfist or Soundquake.

Have they provided a guesstimate for pricing? I am absolutely unopposed to this, since everything that comes out of the crates is cosmetic.Yep. Weren't in beta because it was beta, of course.
Reaper/Gabriel Reyes is American. The only "latino" in Overwatch is Lúcio (Brazilian).Sombra is Shadow in Spanish. Reaper is Latino (Mexican? going by the Mariachi/Day of the dead themed skin). So she might be linked to Reaper instead of Pharah.

3 new heroes right at/before/around launch would be pretty crazy, but the game is dialed in balance wise, so it could handle it. It'd be a nice surprise.
It would be amazing but I have my doubts, main reason are looking at the unboxing for the collectors edition. They showed off the packaging on the interior, and they show all the current heroes and sadly no others. I'm not saying we won't get one more new character but 3 before launch is a bit of a stretch

That makes sense.Though this could mean she is actually called Shadow not Sombra? On those files in Dorado, 76's name was written in Spanish as well (Soldado: 76).

He looks like Machete ffs.Reaper/Gabriel Reyes is American. The only "latino" in Overwatch is Lúcio (Brazilian).
Tryna figure out what the fuck a "support sniper" could possibly be.
I guess she could snipe debuffs or dot damage or something.
He just looks like a black dude to me. Then again latinos can be black, as I am the living proof (well... technically, latina and not really black, but "blasian" lol, point stands though).He looks like Machete ffs.
Reaper/Gabriel Reyes is undoubtedly American of Hispanic/Latino descent.
Nice. Thanks for doing this!Inspired by the Sombra rumor I frame capped the heroes Winton recalls in his video. There's no one I recognized, but a lot of awesome looking concepts / art.

The stretch of characters that look similar, wearing similar armour, makes me think it's from Titan's character creator. Like premade avatars that players could choose from. At least, it'd make more sense than them all eventually becoming playable, looking as identical as they do.
Snipe your team mates to heal them

Sombra fanart and the character doesn't even exist (yet?)!
That art is like a mix of a destiny character + a character from Zelda
I dig it ether way.

Reaper says "where's Sombra when you need her"

Huh? Since when are Brazilians latinos? And being Latino isn't a nationality. Dude is latino/hispanic.
I wouldn't mind a character that basically looks like a character from "Journey"
Brazil is a Latin American country, therefore Brazilians are latinos. What exactly are you on about? Also, when did I say being latino is a nationality? My point was exactly the opposite. Reaper isn't latino, he is black. There is 0 reason to believe he isn't. I am talking about his race, not nationality, his nationality is American, as he is from the United States.Huh?

You do love coming to conclusions. I never said he wasn't latino because he is from the U.S., I said it because this latino/hispanic thing is bullshit. It gets tiring seeing people from Latin American countries being called "latino" or "hispanic" even though they are just black, white, native or mixed races. This is worse than people saying Symmetra can't be black because she is from India lol.Ah mixed the two. Still Reyes/Reaper is hispanic, which is odd to say he wasn't just because he was born in the U.S.

Do your research about trying to correct others pls.
Why does a black man have a mariachi skin then?

i'd like a character with invis. i think they could make it fun and balanced. especially if they are a support character. a genji with invis sounds OP. i also think a support sniper will finally give some better use for the offensive snipers.
Yeah. They're selling loot crates to fund it.
Can things be bought by in-game money or unlock of some kind?

You get a free loot crate with four items every time you level up.
