SOMBRA HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Plesiades]

Just some random Reddit comment. Can anyone confirm?

Oh wow. There was an update today. I'll check it out.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Just some random Reddit comment. Can anyone confirm?

The cave of mystery sign has been there since the start hasn't it?

 

[Plesiades]

The cave of mystery sign has been there since the start.

And I remember the "Los Muertos" spray under the bridge in Hollywood. Don't know if it's the same one.

That's what I get -_-

But the new brawl is Dorado only? That's gotta mean something.

Why aren't you on. sadface

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Why aren't you on. sadface

I've been thinking about it for the last hour. And now I only have about a half hour left before I have to get ready for class. :/

I'll get on after that but it's awhile from now.

 

[Prelude.]

On live? The attack only thing? I've played it once and I was on Hollywood.

 

[Plesiades]

19 hours remaining...

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Yes, Blizzard. Feed us. More.

Fucking Reddit has the worst info. God damn.


Countdown is at 19h

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Blizzard love MGSV confirmed.

Cant wait for the Sombra reveal, love stealthe characters. People thought my Tracer was bad, wait until I master this one! Still remember when I actually scared a Genji off the map, he ran from me until he jumped off the map!

I mean there's a bunch of crap on there, but they're also the ones figuring out all this ARG stuff which then gets reposted here lol.

 

[Plesiades]

This is probably nothing, but a long time ago I went into Dorado to look around and found this iPad looking thingy with a hot cup of coffee. Now it's gone.

Just asset cleaning, right?

Spoiler

Or Sombra remote hacked the power plant from there

 

[wamberz1]

I'm just sitting here praying Somgbra doesn't have some insta kill backstab
I just really really don't want them to be a copy/paste spy from tf2. Let's see something interesting and original blizarrd!

Genji originally had this kind of ability. They got rid of it and completely reworked him because they said it never felt fair or good to be on the opposite end of it.

I have faith.

 

[arimanius]

Loving all the ARG stuff.

 

[Red Arremer]

I do not believe that instakill backstabbing is going to be a thing in Overwatch.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Man they are really going all out with this Sombra thing.

Love it.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I want Sombra to have some kind of disable, like Ana's anti heal grenade but maybe an AoE that prevents abilities from being used for a few secs.

I want her to be able to cloak (but not attack while cloaked or just after un-cloaking either)

and I want her to have some kind of mobility option.

 

[Ricerocket]

Sombra better be something really special with all the hunt going down for her in every tiny little bit of update this game gets.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I want Sombra to have what Blizzard has planned.

Those guys are geniuses, they will give as a fantastic new hero. No matter what her abilities are.

 

[Nazo]

I find it really funny that Sombra's user name on battle net is Skycoder.

I'm glad their taking that whole sky code thing and running with it.

Running and leaving a streak like Tracer. I can do this too!

 

[Plesiades]

Numbani's "Arrivals" screen glitches from time to time. Probably just a new effect tho.

Spoiler

What if all screens suddenly change into Sombra's skull at the same time?

 

[veloxStrix]

Does anyone want to run a semi-serious group quick play? I kind of want to practice some really basic strats for comp.

 

[JHall]

Watch Sombra be a useless defensive character.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Sombra is actually a 4chan shitlord whose ult is to DDoS the game.

 

[R0ckman]

Lol, of course its going to feel bad. I love getting these moves and having them used on me. I've never thought unfair when I've gotten back attacked in other games. I find it fun and exciting and mixes up things. A lot of times these games are a chaotic mess. And there are many times as Tracer Im in their back lines without them knowing just sitting there. I NEED this character to have a OHK move. Or at least for the ult.

topical

Sombra's ult makes the entire enemy team invisible to each other for like a minute.

Blizzard really don't want stuff in the game that makes the other player feel like they didn't have a fighting chance. Genji's 1HKO isn't the first time they've mentioned removing or tweaking something because it "didn't feel good" for the other player. Reinhardt's wind up on his charge is a result of this too, his original iteration had very little wind up.

 

[wamberz1]

And cuts their voice and text chat, even if they're in a group

 

[veloxStrix]

That would actually probably actually be OP. Even just the invisible thing would make most of the Supports and a few tanks pretty useless.

Do it, Blizz. Make this a DPS and Sombra only game.

edit: actually probably actually

Honestly dont agree with this when we have things like junkrats trap and mine combo, you dont really have a chance against that beyond being alert, same with being aware of possible sneak ups. All you have to do is look at the scoreboard to see sombra is on the enemy team and to be alert. Thats your fighting chance.

 

[darklin0]

The avatar in the Battle.net forums was Day of the Dead inspired, so it's safe to say that she's from Mexico.

Yep, the candy skull gives it away. I know Reaper is of Mexican decent but he does not speak a lick of Spanish. Knowing that Sombra will makes me want to spend all my gold on her once she is released.

I don't agree that Junkrat's clearly visible mine and trap combo is comparable to a stealth character with a 1HKO backstab.

Honestly I think that's a silly comparison to draw. But I suppose we'll agree to disagree.

 

[dryuriev7777]

What's sad is that if she's revealed tomorrow, it will be the end of the ARG cavalcade. I was half hoping they'd do something like put in a file in Dorado with a picture paperclipped of a woman and people flip out OMG IS THAT SOMBRA but then it turns out it's just Symmetra's evil(er?) long lost poverty stricken seemingly dead mother Batya Vaswani, also called Asymmetra, where she has 5 turrets on a ever-changing cooldown and a teleport that leads you to a random point on the map and then Blizzard starts more Sombra ARG bullshit and then laughs and laughs about how they actually have no idea how a hacker or whatever would work in this game and Sombra will never actually be in the game or even shown.

 

[Nudull]

Oh shit, we're getting a bomb drop? o.o

 

[Kane1345]

Got every skin except tracer GBR skin which is the one I wanted most at the start. I do love the Zarya skin though so I'm content.

Sombra hype!

F! K! ...in the coffee! Did you see that, Zach?!

 

[Anne]

They actually put the song somebody made out of the skycode into the game on PTR.

Also if this game adds any more instant kill mechanics I'ma be sad :<

E: All I want out of new characters right now is a utility DPS that isn't shit or tied to static mechanics, or a utility based tank that can be used to fill the Rein/Zarya role.

 

[slightconfuse]

Have they said if you get summer games stuff?

Or do you have to wait for 2020

Same time next year.

Overwatch Summer Games is an annual event. It'll be back Summer next year.

I'm thinking she's going to a saboteur. She gets enemy lines and annoys them like Tracer or Genji, but she's significantly harder to find does things that make it difficult to push/hold.

Eh do we need more tanks really? I feel like that the class that's already pretty well balanced and covered when it comes to utility and diversity. Just need that damn discord to go away.

Somehow landed the most clutch sleep darts yesterday.

A nano boosted ulting reaper FALLING FROM THE SKY. sleep darted before he landed.

A torb going molten core, darted while I was in mid air launched from a rein hammer.
