[QUOTE=Grandzeit;51308517]Symmetra is going to be a big deal for Sombra players, and I'm sure her November update will make her even more efficient at dealing with Sombra.[/QUOTE]
I don't think the turrets can hit her when she's invis... which adds more problems for Symmetra, now that there might be a character that can stealth past her defenses and kill the teleporter directly.
I get back from work and we're 6 pages in to a new thread, of course Blizzard gave Sombra news.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;51308536]Not like most of the characters aren't tropes already[/QUOTE]
That's... not really an excuse. I mean, some are fairly literal copies of other things, but there's some pretty great designs in there, still (have you seen something like Ana or Symmetra anywhere else?).
[QUOTE=Grandzeit;51308540]What would be good female character design then? Short hair? "Normal" hair? Short hair with bright dye?[/QUOTE]
Most other female characters in the game are pretty great, actually. It's just that with Sombra all I knew was "hacker girl" and the design is completely in line with every video game hacker character ever, a very generic one for this kind of character.
But hey, tastes differ, I guess, so I'll drop it.
Mei will be world class top tier spychecker now.
I dunno. I feel like it would be easy to make a really unique skillset based on the video, with map interactions and camera feeds and acrobatics, but instead we have this weird superflanker we didn't really need with [I]another[/I] disable

... but will be pointless without her walls and iceblock, very low survivability for mei right now because sombra.

That'd require every map to be overhauled and updated to fit the abilities of a single character.
That's a lot of work for a single character
[QUOTE=ApertureXS200;51308572]... but will be pointless without her walls and iceblock, very low survivability for mei right now because sombra.[/QUOTE]
And I am completely fine with that.
I'll hold out that maybe she has some cool skins but Sombra s standard design is so dull
It's identical to that woman from deus ex or metal gear rising
I'm not super psyched about a new offense character or her abilities either
Just lost a game because mei can contest long enough to completely nullify a teamwipe. Awesome.
Speaking of Sombra's looks, what's up with those shoes

Except that she has a great gun.
And sombra needs time to hack anyone.

WHAT ARE THOSE

and that's kinda the amount of work I'm expecting from blizzard given how high profile overwatch is
[QUOTE=Mikemaximum;51308596]WHAT ARE THOSE[/QUOTE]
Toe shoes.

Gotta ask if this dev team has even played tf2, people give valve too much shit considering you cannot take the intel, cap a point or contest/push the payload when you are invis/bonk'd/uber'd etc so clearly they need to start doing what people are actually asking for once. Seriously if this game ever gets CTF and 12 vs 12 I will literally never stop playing.

I think you're giving Ana a little too much credit. Her outfit is pretty much the quintessential fantasy sniper outfit.

Why does reaper teleportation makes him go into an animation, makes you vulnerable and prone to getting killed when Sombra can just throw teleportation pod and instantly teleport to it?
[QUOTE=Mikemaximum;51308596]WHAT ARE THOSE[/QUOTE]
I think she's just wearing tights without shoes

It's not an excuse, it's just how characters are made. Unique ideas are VERY rare to come by, and often they're garbage anyways. Most things are iterative. Symmetra and ana aren't entirely original either, both borrow a ton from previous existing ideas.
And really, just look at the overwatch cast. Most of it is pretty blatant. Two japanese dudes, one a bowman who talks about honour all the time, a cyborg ninja both with huge thing for dragons. A cowboy... who literally just had prosthetics jammed onto him just to make him fit with the game's aesthetic. A german with a healing stick fused with a guardian angel. A dwarf engineer. A black (i kno hes brazillian) DJ. A chinese woman wearing snowclimbing garbments who.... has ice abilities? woah. D.va is literally fucking from evangelion. Most of the overwatch characters are unapologetically cliche, doesn't make them bad.

You are incredibly quick to formulate opinions when you haven't yet played this character.
[QUOTE=ApertureXS200;51308614]Why does reaper teleportation makes him go into an animation, makes you vulnerable and prone to getting killed when Sombra can just throw teleportation pod and instantly teleport to it?[/QUOTE]
Because Reaper has a better get-out-of-jail-free-card with his Wraith Form, and allowing him to get up close to people super fast with his ultimate and shotguns would be criminal.
[QUOTE=ApertureXS200;51308614]Why does reaper teleportation makes him go into an animation, makes you vulnerable and prone to getting killed when Sombra can just throw teleportation pod and instantly teleport to it?[/QUOTE]
Because his teleport is biological
Hers is technological
Also looks cooler
[QUOTE=phygon;51308293]I play junkrat a hell of a lot and I've never heard anyone say that to me[/QUOTE]
I get it all the time >_>
[QUOTE=ApertureXS200;51308614]Why does reaper teleportation makes him go into an animation, makes you vulnerable and prone to getting killed when Sombra can just throw teleportation pod and instantly teleport to it?[/QUOTE]
hers is a recall point like tracer instead of being a long distance travel to new location like reaper, and the device is likely destructible by enemy players?
[QUOTE=QUILTBAG;51308624]You are incredibly quick to formulate opinions when you haven't yet played this character.[/QUOTE]
SO? Is this an argument? Don't i have the right to give out my speculations and my theory, and my observations? Do i have to play the character when i got a full stream exploring every of her aspect and that obviously show how OP she is? So yeah, i may be quick, but it's because it's incredibly obvious that Sombra is an OP character.
I hated Skye in Paladins and Sombra is literally Skye but in Overwatch. They got the same invis, the same high-DPS weapon godly at close range, and they got the same personality. Oh, and if we want to go far, they got the same EMP- type ult "time ticking!" shit.
There.
But... What about Symmetra's rework?
[QUOTE=dai;51308645]hers is a recall point like tracer instead of being a long distance travel to new location like reaper, and the device is likely destructible by enemy players?[/QUOTE]
They said on stream it wasn't, though apparently it was something they went back and forth on. I'll be interested to see what changes she goes through on PTR.
