No "gentlemen" line, no go.

Also I hope we get a anti-air type of character. Aside from Roadhog's hook there's nobody that's equipped to counter air fliers aside from taking to the skies themselves.

A moderately decent sniper and a good 76 makes short work of pharah

 

[wamberz1]

No, no, after what the Spy has become in TF2, I really don't want them in Overwatch. Reaper should be about as close as it gets.

Agreed.

though now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind a stealth class that was focused on information gathering and disruption instead of GETTING THEM L88T KILLS BRO.
Like, maybe a turret sapper to help deal with torb and bastion, and something to incapacitate snipers. Could also have a focus on destroying symmetra turrets and tele's. All while focusing on reporting info back to the team.

 

[mreddie]

Fuck invisibility, maybe someone...small?

 

[UserDoesNotExist]

If it's similar to the TF2 Spy's short duration cloak, I'm perfectly OK with that. It's sustained stealth that worries me, especially with the possibility of stun-locking.

 

[Instro]

Would be nice to put my Spy skills to good use. Hopefully it's something with a sapper type ability.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Spy hero, let's go!

Spy villain.

We need more villains.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I don't really think turrets are a big enough issue to get a specific counter beyond snipers aside from Molten core

Talking PC not console

 

[J-Tier]

It would be cool to have a character that is a hunter/trapper. Able to "scent" tag and track down enemies, has an AI pet dog, set traps that alerts all allies to their location and slow down their movement, create an area that's temporarily inescapable, set fake medkits, etc.

 

[MUnited83]

Sombra it is then

Yep! Sombra=Shadow, it would be really weird if Sombra didnt end up as the stealth character.

 

[Gtagentleman]

Pls no invisibility or disguise BS.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

So many possibilities, i hope they make some truly unique and special heroes.

 

[ISOM]

Widowmaker is good against most of the cast already

Yeah but her use had gone way down due to her nerf. It will go way back up if she and Hanzo are the only ones who can spot this invis character.

 

[Corpekata]

Snipers, right? I thought of that the second I typed that out, but snipers are anti-everybody. *shrugs*

He also means characters like Soldier 76 who have hitscan style weapons and fairly decent range. He's a pretty hard counter to fliers.

 

[Odrion]

Widowmaker kinda makes stealth useless anyway

there are already hard counters for certain heroes anyway

 

[Jarmel]

Perfect fodder for junkrat.

 

[Ikuu]

So just the Pyro left for them to take inspiration from.

 

[NotLiquid]

Looks like my theory was correct after all.

Looking forward to how Sombra is gonna work.

 

[Saturday]

Yeah, I'd not thought of Soldier 76, makes perfect sense. Makes me wonder about 1v1 matchups, but I'm not sure stats like those can be found online yet.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Ok is Sombra not Ana? I thought that was her codename. Wasn't Sombra an old ex-Overwatch woman sniper around Torbjorn and Reinhardts age?

 

[J-Tier]

I think Mei kinda fills that niche. It's just an icy spray instead.

Ok is Sombra not Ana? I thought that was her codename. Wasn't Sombra an old ex-Overwatch woman sniper around Torbjorn and Reinhardts age?

Sombra is not Ana, people just assumed that Ana was Sombra. All of the ex-Overwatch woman sniper clues were for Ana. Other clues were for Sombra, people just assumed they were one in the same.

 

[rakkadakka]

Give me a hero that can detect him and I'll be fine.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Ok is Sombra not Ana? I thought that was her codename. Wasn't Sombra an old ex-Overwatch woman sniper around Torbjorn and Reinhardts age?

No, Sombra is seemingly some sort of Zorro-esque mexican vigilante.

 

[Azerare]

We need more villains.

I don't think you understand the premise of what overwatch is...

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I don't think you understand the premise of what overwatch is...

Talon and Blackwatch is a thing, son.

 

[Iadien]

I love the TF2 spy, but there's no way it could work in Overwatch as is. So I'm curious how they change it to make it work. Either way, I'm excited for it!

 

[Labombadog]

Along with 76, hog, mei's icicle and others they are also buffing Mcree to counter her more. So all good.

 

[SDBurton]

This. Game was doing so well too. RIP

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Calling it, it will be this guy:

 

[patchday]

Stealth hero might be good thing so we can more easily sneak up and one shot Bastion and Torb

 

[J-Tier]

The most interesting omnic.

Do you play on consoles? It's a lot harder to drop good Pharahs because of the nature of analog stick aiming. It's funny that they nerfed Torb's turret on console because that was one of the reliable ways to drop console Pharahs lol.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

The most interesting omnic.

The world needs more Heroes Omnics.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Yes! I hope he can backstab and sap sentries, don't forget the disguises.

 

[EmptyCanO'wupass]

Blizzard, just literally make it spy from TF2 and I promise to buy 1000 loot boxes.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I don't think you understand the premise of what overwatch is...

Reaper and Widowmaker are villains. I don't understand what your trying to say. Not every character is a hero.

 

[DanielJr82]

I don't think you understand the premise of what overwatch is...

What premise would that be?

 

[Hylian7]

I could see it happening, and no real reason where they could make Widowmaker's ultimate not see them.

Reaper is the closest thing we have to stealth right now.

 

[Rhaknar]

Sombra means Shadow, that's pretty stealth-y

 

[Saucycarpdog]

And here I was hoping for another builder. Or at least Blizzard needs to get rid of the "no builder" notification cause THERE'S ONLY TWO TO CHOOSE FROM!

 

[Felix Lighter]

Ugh, not looking forward to that.

 

[Azoor]

And here I was hoping for another builder. Or at least Blizzard needs to get rid of the "no builder" notification cause THERE'S ONLY TWO TO CHOOSE FROM!

There should be a "No Healer" notification instead of "No Support" IMO.

 

[Speely]

No footfalls.

Radar immunity ability.

Can stealth vs turrets and other "auto-hit" abilities like Tactical Visor.

Ult teleports you behind last enemy that made a kill.

Stuff.

Oh, I think you might be right, that drawing seems like final artwork for a hero unlike the other posters in the game. Robots in the game usually all look kind of the same and he looks to have a completely different style, too.

 

[Grisby]

Hrrrmmmm.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Do Omnics even drink ?

 

[Zemm]

So the first new hero is another sniper. The next may be one with stealth/invisibility? Hope the game doesn't start getting annoying to play.

yep this doesn't feel me with hope

 

[Tabby]

Didn't they say they tried a hero that could go invisible and found it to be unfun? This could just be left over unused lines, in any case I really hope they don't have a hero that goes invis.

 

[Akainu]

Calling it, it will be this guy:

So the robots are like the ones from futurama?

 

[Kyrios]

Would make things interesting I guess.

Wasn't this guy in Winston's database when we saw a lot of random people?
