Don't you have to be level 25 to play competitive? Says you're level 20.

Welp. I'm back below 1400 again.

He's over 200

I'm calling it. October 11/12, Sombra reveal, part of Halloween event, new skins, woohoo.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

HOLY SHIT

I LOVE HER ALREADY

 

[Plesiades]

Somebody uploaded an image to Deviantart, which got reposted to reddit, which got taken down because it had an internal link Blizzard link in it (some website of Jive software which produces colleberation software), which got mentioned on the Discord and I reposted here.

So non-standard way to leak something through Deviantart.

Wow. Sad for the people working on the ARG.

 

[optimus8936]

Wow. Sad for the people working on the ARG.

What percent is the ARG at right now anyways?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Well she's obviously not a tank(based on the build of her body) and they wouldn't add two supports back to back.

Yeah she's a DPS.

It'd be more interesting if they made her a tank with that non-standard class size. But she could easily be defense too.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Is amomentincrime suddenly going to speed up or something or are we actually not getting the update until the week after next? It's not supposed to end until 10/18 and it'd be really weird if she was in the game before the countdown ended.

 

[Plesiades]

83.7056%. I think it would end on October 17th... during the event. Maybe Blizzard wanted to tie the Sombra reveal with the Brawl?

 

[KiraFA37]

What percent is the ARG at right now anyways?

83 percentish I think.

 

[NeoRaider]

They should announce her today tbh.

Spoiler

I know they won't tho.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I love her I hope she's real

 

[Plesiades]

Spoiler

Maybe they do the "weapon reveal" like they did with Ana.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

What if she's support again to balance the rosters further.

 

[KyleCross]

She is not what I was expecting at all, way more Super-Villian. I was thinking something more along the lines of Cyberpunk Teen.

 

[NeoRaider]

I still think about what i said few weeks ago, that they planned stealth release for her. Just to add her to the game or something without the annoncement... makes sense imo.

 

[Prelude.]

I'm not saying it's fake, she looks credible enough (although the fact that the background is Numbani is kinda weird), but there's nothing really new or that hasn't been speculated before in the text (horde mode, Los Muertos, Mexico, Talon, Junkrat brawl, Junkenstein) so it could definitely be an elaborated fake.

 

[Plesiades]

Also remember that she'll probably on PTR for a few weeks.

Idk, wasn't the summer games put out on live immediately? They could do the same here.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Idk, wasn't the summer games put out on launch immediately? They could do the same here.

Not for a new character though. Unfortunately I need to revise my prediction. Next week she may hit the PTR and be available on live on the 18th a week later which is when amomentincrime hits 100%

MAYBE the brawl hits next week and Sombra the week after but considering WoW Halloween doesn't start until the 18th they may just do everything at once.

I really hope i'm wrong. This is fall break for me and by far the best time for a new character to come out.

 

[Plesiades]

The events go live, but heroes end up in the PTR. At least they did that with Ana.

EDIT: I think that Vault is right on the money.

what if the countdown has nothing to do w/ Sombra and it's been a distraction the entire time? >_>

Sombra might have been leaked spoilers in the links below:

Edit: more high res leaked image.

I like it I like.

 

[THe_DeiCiDe]

I hope she's a defense character, the only one I really like to play is junkrat.

 

[antitrop]

Hoping for Sombra to be a Defense hero. I like that design, too.

 

[Ramirez]

I like the design, excited to see her kit!

 

[xaosslug]

imagine if the horde mode brawl of zomnics takes place on Eichenwalde at night w/ thunder & lighting? OMGGGGG

 

[MarioHead3]

I hope she's a defense character, the only one I really like to play is junkrat.

Hoping for Sombra to be a Defense hero. I like that design, too.

If there's any sort of stealth element to her kit, I can't possibly see how she would fit into defense, but we'll see either way.

 

[Ellite25]

One of the most frustrating days of Overwatch I've ever had. Started the day at over 2100 and I've dropped into the 1800s. Had 2 draws and lost every other game. Goddamn it's annoying as hell. I'm not great but man other people just failing to do basic things is anger inducing.

 

[DevilDog]

How can sombra be real if our eyes aren't real?

OMG, an uzi... could she be another Tracer/Genji type high damage + mobility, low health character?!

i am HYPEEEEEEE

Jesus Christ, yes. Please.

 

[ohkay]

Sombra's holding a smg so she's probably hitscan and not a long range character

 

[Odrion]

Wow. Sad for the people working on the ARG.

they deserve it

 

[xaosslug]

*prays that Sombra's ult is good*

 

[Blues1990]

If this is real and not a hoax, then I have to say, this is a cool design for this character.

Bummer that people are going to complain that her body type is too identical to Tracer, Mercy, Pharah, Widow, & D.Va's.

 

[Greddleok]

Hacker? Take control of Torb/Symmetra's turrets and teleporter?

Nah, that'd never work.

 

[optimus8936]

I wonder if by hacker it means that one of her abilities "silences" an enemy keeping them from using their abilities.

 

[Prelude.]

Oh and if the pic is real I hope her primary fire is nothing like Tracer's.

 

[Blu(e)]

Looks like Laura from SFV.

 

[DevilDog]

they deserve it

inb4 the leak was part of the ARG.

 

[Greddleok]

If so, there's the Zarya counter everyone's been searching for.

like her ultimate prevents your ultimate for like 1 min or something?

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

People starting to ask for Ana in solo queue games on console. We made it.

Super fun game I love Ana when you have a good team comp, our Rein got so many boosts.

 

[optimus8936]

like her ultimate prevents your ultimate for like 1 min or something?

I was thinking one of her two abilities disabled an enemies abilities for a few seconds.

Disabling ults for a minute would be waaaay too powerful imo.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Tbh, I think both of these sound both OP and obnoxious. Her ult could be something of the sort, but this would never work as a regular ability.

EDIT: Actually, nah, not even as an ult. Competitive Overwatch would be ruined by this.

 

[LiK]

i'm just gonna buy Loot pack boxes. screw the grind. lol

 

[antitrop]

I put $20 into the Summer Games. I'll probably put another $20 into Halloween.

 

[V-Faction]

Make Sombra a "Sapper" aka Can take out Torbjorn's turrets via stealth. Same with Symmetra.

And allow her to disable "Shield recharge" on characters with that resource, like Zen, Sym, and Zarya.

Or something. Actually, I just want a cool new archetype. SMG as the weapon would complete the set.

 

[Data West]

Why would you want Sombra to take out Torbjorn's turrets?

Fucking Mercy with her peashooter can take out Torbjorn's piece of shit turrets.

 

[LiK]

I put $20 into the Summer Games. I'll probably put another $20 into Halloween.

i put way more into that just for that stupid American McCree one.

Spoiler

WORTH IT

Sombra countering what doesn't even need a counter, even on QP.
