Really looking forward to seeing Sombra being revealed, this healer sniper combo isn't something I've seen before that much.

It certainly is. The notion of combining the role of long-range elimination with healing from afar does seem unfamiliar, although didn't the Medic from TF2 have that magic crossbow that could heal allies from afar?
It actually seems kinda ingenious too, since it'd probably get snipers to play a support.

Yes, that crossbow also had the effect that the longer the the syringe (the crossbow bolt) travels in air the higher the heal/damage output.
I wonder if her alt fire is going to be Soldier's healing field. Could be really cool to see a DoT/HoT hero which could zone, DoT and HoT their own team.
I'm so interested to see how it balances out. Like i could see a sniper/healer being fucking annoying and almost OP in theory (Going to try and kill a sniper, you damage then, they hide behind a wall for a few seconds, they're at full health again) sounds annoying. But they've done a really good job at balancing the other heros out i feel. I've not once yet felt like if i was against someone one on one that i would lose straight away even if i tried. (Unless it was Reinhart vs Mercy but you wouldnt put yourself in that 1vs1 situation unless you're an idiot)
Nothing says she can heal herself
A healing sniper?
Zenyatta?
I'm a bit new to the Overwatch thing - just got the game a few days ago. How many new classes are they throwing in?

Only 1 is confirmed to be worked on right now and that's the one they teased but we can speculate that there will be 2 others later.

Doomfist, sondquake, and sombra are the three that have been teased so far iirc.

Ana Amari could also be separate from Sombra too.

Well, there was also medic gun in Killing Floor that allowed you to shoot syringes at allies as well.
