Oniiiiiiiiiiii

More Sombra things lads

Also new maps, and new gamemode?

 

[Hyoshido]

Yes, it's a new gamemode, has 1v1 and 3v3 playable modes in there if I remember.

More Sombrero

Eh people said that about Ana and well look how that turned out. People are playing her at BlizzCon and she seems alright and she isn't even complete yet.

Sombra looks super interesting and I can't wait to try her out! She's really seems like a character with my kinda playstyle! Also, loving the Genji skin! Seems like I'll be downloading Heroes really soon

 

[littletwinclouds]

i'm so happy that hero stacking is gonna be removed from quick play

also get ready for all the sombra mains

 

[Micah]

Arcade looks freaking fantastic. Looks like I'll be spending most of my time there (plus, it seems to be borrowing a lot from Destiny's PVP).

 

[Zeiro]

I'm stoked for Sombra but her playstyle looks hellish to master

they started it waaaay too early, i think any hype was killed tbh.
but i really like her leaked concept art, she looks awesome!

What might've happened was she was meant to be released early on but something happened so they had to postpone. Sombra may have been meant to be released even before Ana since she was teased VERY early.

early sombra is ugly AF

i think early sombra was supposed to have like a sword or something?? (in any case she then became early genji which then split into current genji and current hanzo)
but ya i agree that design is uuuugly

idk i just feel like the meta will have to be completely redesigned around her now, if you don't have a sombra on your team you'll be at a serious disadvantage

The meta might revolve around her for a few days, but I'm not sure if it will stay that way until they nerf. Shutting down ults is nice, but how often is that going to be used at it's greatest potential? If I know Sombra is on the other team, I'm not likely to combo ults until we know hers is down.

they definitely need to nerf her, but tbh i don't think she'll make it through the ptr in her current state

apparently the build people played at blizzcon is a few builds old anyways so who knows really

THinking of maybe kinda sorta buying Overwatch, just to hop on that bandwagon everyone's riding.
What would be the best way/cheapest place to buy it? Straight out of the Blizzard Store via their launcher?

Makes sense given the leaked internal. I'm sure the build everyone got to play was the one devs play tested.

The $40 option via the online store is probably the cheapest.

Live on PTR now! Here's her Hero gallery!

[Cress]

No boop voiceline/10 I can't play her in this state.

 

[tobi!]

Actually got on PTR.

Excited about the new game modes! Definitely loving the 3v3 mode.

Sombra is annoying. When she hacks health kits, they STAY hacked for 60 seconds. It doesn't seem like much but the countdown can be reset halfway through or so. Also, a defense Sombra can hack all the kits before the game even starts.
I've always hated invisibility. If you play snipers, watch out. You can't hear her/see her(obv...) like a Genji or Tracer. I had an entire game where some dickhead spawn camped us. Turned invisible, stayed in a corner, then uncloaked when we turned away to head towards the objective.
Also, her teleporter thing can't be destroyed. Sucks when you see it and you know she's coming but you can't stop it.
Her cooldowns are ridiculously low, too.

Also, no BOOP voiceline wtf....

Edit: forgot to mention, you can see an icon above hacked enemies if they have their Ult ready themselves. Meaning you can use your EMP effectively.
