It's a map, yes, a relationship map. The icons are various organizations (LumeriCo, Volskaya, Numbani, Talon, Overwatch, Shimada Clan, Helix, Security, and that eye in the middle is that shadow organization that Sombra's backstory talks about).
The mugshots are people associated with these organizations, and relationships to each other.
And now that I look at it, I realize that Omnic that has ties to the shadow organization also has ties to Reinhardt. Is our beloved knight in shining armour maybe not as chivalrous as we thought?

Really not interested in playing HoTS just for a genji skin. Not too big a fan of it anyways.
edit: For the curious, there is the korean sombra trailer

Yeah but I barely know what's a MOBA.
Which is nothing. Radius of it, how fast it freezes and how long it lasts is just bananas. Once that sucker is blopped down your team is done for.

For those who missed it, here is Stylosa's play with Sombra with a dev

That and its awful visibility. I don't know how many times I've been frozen while standing on a platform.
Yeah, he is one of the OW devs.

She's nowhere near the pick rate of zarya. What are you even talking about.
I'm not really fan graviton bomb in Pro games either. So many team fights boil down to which team has graviton and/or blizzard up and which team uses theirs first. Blizzard is just more likely team wipe because it renders whole team 100% defenseless for long time.

It's also way easier to escape from blizzard.
The pros are going to figure out insane things to do with Sombra's teleporter, it seems to have so much versatility.
I love the idea of setting up a little "home base" at a hacked med pack, then going out on a quick 15 second blitz before returning to safety. That seems like the most standard way of using it.

I feel like the health pack hack would make her a real good pseudo support on defense.
It pretty much fucks over the flanker Heroes.

Will be interesting to see pro level aggressive Sombra's.

The second healer capabilities are insane.
75 hp every two seconds
250 every three seconds

Those of us who used to play Unreal Tournament and had fun with the translocator there already have ideas on using it in Overwatch.
Sadly no telefragging

Also hack can fuck over a lot of attack pushes. i can see a meta where it's 1 support + Sombra. Especially seeing that emp fucks over lucio so hard. Enyus already tried the same with s76.

sorry for the late response I was banned lol. But yeah I don't remember the specifics of the match other than your hooks were nasty.
Anyways my thoughts on today's news
- yay new map, although it's almost a given considering how long sombra took to reveal
- yep, sombra seems OP. At the very least she seems very fun to play as but VERY annoying to play against.
- LOVE that hero stacking is gone from QP, HATE that they didn't just add a new 6v6 qp mode without stacking. IMO there should be three "standard" playlists. The current QP as is, the current comp as is, and then in the middle an unranked playlist that doesn't have stacking and has 2 rounds on attack/defense maps. Seems like it would be a good median option instead of gutting current QP, they definitely have the population for it
- not sure what the new playlists are like exactly since I've been at work all day but 1v1 and 3v3 sound neat at first but I can't imagine they'll be well balanced at all/fun to play even. I'd rather a new mode with bots and stuff akin to TF2 or even a MOBA. Obviously it wouldn't be part of comp but it could still be neat
Proprietary. Blizzard has always done engines for their games in-house.

The next map is going to have jump pads, though, so that's gonna be fun.
I thought so. Thanks.

She doesn't have an instakill/backstab mechanic.

I honestly don't know how attacking teams will ever capture the second point when every single health pack around the point is useless for the attackers and 3x more effective for the defenders.
And all Sound Barrier pushes can be instantly countered.
Hearthstone is the only exception. They made it with Unity.

let's hope, I'm not looking forward to invisibility being a regular ability
Force is saying same thing. Paraphrasing; "Defense / escape mechanic because her DPS is low anyways"
Forgot about that <.<

Without an instakill ability it's more likely to be used to get the hack out of dodge.
Needs her right click damage reduced, the hitboxes or how fast someone gets frozen at higher than a second.
It's a bit ridiculous that shes being used as an offensive character right now.

I don't think there's going to be any additional stealth heroes. As many people from Blizzard said, it's hard to make a balanced kit around it without making it frustrating to play against (i.e. instakills ala TF2 Spy).

also are her skins up yet or just those concept arts?
I don't wanna wait til tuesday to see all of them

Blizzard uses this model in SC2 tourneys too. Maybe even HS. BO3's until finals are BO5.
Edit: Wot? BO3's and suddenly finale is BO7? lol
I'm sorry if this has been posted before, I was busy watching Doctor Strange (it was fun!), but here's a more of what Overwatch League means:

Yeah I don't think there will be any more but just having 1 hero have it as a regular ability is making me uneasy.
and yeah I agree that she seems kinda overdesigned, there's so much shit going on with her
that being said ana is great so who knows

South Korea is gonna win the cup. Russia has no chance I think, as much as I'd love the motherland to take it.
Only art for the legendaries, no models.

Seeing how much fun ana is i have Faith.
I don't have faith in them making her balanced out of the gate, but i have faith in them making a fun character.

This WC was rigged for SK in the first place with them having 3 players that are already on a team together and another 2 that play together.
