Sombra is a kid.

 

[JBwB]

The suspense! Hopefully she's a hero I can actually play well with.

 

[antitrop]

i hope they just release a completely new hero that isn't sombra

Sombra is nothing but a name at this point, so what's the difference?

 

[SOLDIER]

Sombra is a kid.

 

[ChoklitCow]

Because I fell for it. And I got corrected there and posted this here.

Ahh, the 'ol ekim_gaf > Reddit > Reddit > GAF > Ekim > GAF cycle

 

[Obliterator]

What the hell is going on when you click the site? It has a bunch of weird scrolling text

Edit - nvm I'm a moron

ACTIVATING RESERVE POTATO ENERGY SUPPLIES

never forget

 

[MissCauthon]

You got it haha

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Sombra is a kid.

That'll be the next one. The kid from the reveal trailer as the new Doom Fist.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

1 hour to go.

 

[hydruxo]

Welp. Time to watch an episode of Mr Robot to make this hour go by quickly.

 

[KnightHart]

Holy shit I just took it in that Sombra is using the alias 'SkyCoder'. Blizzard pls

Well, hopefully by the time I'm done my errands, and pre-ordering Trails of Cold Steel II, Sombra will be out

 

[falconxcrunner09]

So that guy was right. Not surprised to say the least.

 

[ekim]

Yup it switched to 57 minutes. meh.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

1 hour to go.

i hate blizzard now

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

Dunno what to do for an hour.

 

[Shinigami]

Welp, I'll be in lunch in an hour, so I guess it worked out for the best.

 

[Wanderer5]

Going to be one long hour.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Damn hoped to see the reveal during my lunch

at least the time will go by fast since I'm at work right now

 

[Vire]

Seems odd they would do it now. Didn't they just add a bunch of stuff to the PTR with the new map and season 2?

 

[Risev1]

Wait, so the countdown ended and another appeared?

 

[MissCauthon]

Diablo 3 now just updated something aswell. Maybe a new Zombra pet added to D3 lol

 

[Thewonandonly]

Question that might be dumb but what does ARG stand for?

 

[onepiecefan]

Lol blizzard trolling.

 

[Blizzard]

What else got added besides the new map? Season 2 just changes ranked rules slightly.

*edit* I forgot there are nerfs/buffs inbound for various characters.

Alternate Reality Game.

 

[Nibel]

Brehs is there really a chance that this is happening or are we reaching NX thread levels here

 

[dave is ok]

Alternate/Augmented Reality Game

Pirates go ARG, so maybe sombra is a Pirate?? maybe more like a computer pirate. Probably why he hacked the blizz forums under the name Skyloke or Skylake or what ever it was.

 

[LiK]

sick of this shit. just announce it already!

 

[cmChimera]

It's not Blizzard trolling, but just a misunderstanding on how forum timer worked. The timer hasn't changed, people figuring out the timer miscalculated.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Lol blizzard trolling.

No people misunderstood the countdown timer.

 

[maouvin]

Maybe a new Zombra pet added to D3 lol

Sombra is a squid.

It's happening and by it I mean disappointment

 

[Beckx]

no.

well, either they release the new character now between seasons, release a new character mid-season, or wait until season 2 is over.

 

[arimanius]

No people just didn't understand the timer.

Awsome thanks man

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

the links are all over this thread...

Oh man, I feel stupid for not noticing that that's actually the Skycoder avatar. Sorry 'bout that

The chances are quite high for something to happen.
I guess it'll be a reveal of the character, like how Ana got revealed.
Hype levels are on a legit level here.

 

[HabeeNo]

Stealth champ with the stealth release, leggo

 

[spindashing]

blue balls of the century right here

what if another countdown appears after this one is over

 

[Kor of Memory]

Someone set the timer an hour early. FYI.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Bro that's a clue of her ult. It adds another minute to attack and dwindles a minute for defense

 

[TheYanger]

Reread this sentence man. lol. Yes, you're correct, they do have to release Sombra either before, during, or after a season.
