Guess we'll have to wait until May 2019.
Love being put in a losing game with 6 seconds left.
[QUOTE=Jarokwa;51884100]personally it kinda reminds me of those [b]robot chicks in Wildstar[/b], but i can see what you mean by bull, maybe a minotaur-styled robot?
anyway, i really hope this is just some kinda 6 day countdown or something and that we get some actual content next week.[/QUOTE]
Mechari-styled hero?

I'm completely ok with this
smurf accounts are actually ruining this game for me
nearly every fucking qp game i play has a grand master tier smurf on the enemy team destroying my plat tier team as either hanzo or widow
i get that its fun for them but it's ruining the fun for everybody else
As long as it isn't as... obtusely designed as the women in that game
Anyone else on a total losing streak on QP? Can't seem to find a decent team who actually cares to save my life.

Actually though if Zarya's reactor is the normal sized one, and she needs a mini one, I'm leaning towards maybe a defense hero. A tank would probably have a full reactor, Zarya's isn't THAT big.[/QUOTE]
Are you sure Zarya's reactor is normal sized? The mechas in Volskaya cinematic had much bigger ones, so my guess would be that Zarya's is a 'portable variant'.
Also, how is Efi going to get military grade defense technology such as Tobelstein and OR-15 without being a villain or at least an antihero of some sort? Highly dubious.

Infinite budget. Her parents are super duper mega ultra rich, and also she's famous.
Might even get a government contract or something.
I feel like the fact that she was present when the bots that she needs to build her robot were attacked is [I]pretty damn[/I] suspect. I don't know [I]why[/I] she would take a picture of it, but I mean even the way it was shot means that she had to at some point be standing in the spot that the attacker would have been standing when the attacker attacked them. My conspiracy theory is that she stole the doomfist and punched the robots into the wall with it, then stole their robobits to build her robot. I don't think that Blizzard could pull this scene off in a short or comic without it being the most ridiculous fucking thing ever, but Blizzard's never let that stop them before.
[QUOTE=usaokay;51884334]Have to say this is a step above the Sombra shit they teased months before her initial reveal.[/QUOTE]
Each drop of information is adding more to what we know giving us more to speculate on whose going to be added and what they're going to be like instead of the Sombra """ARG""" which told us what's happening up front and repeated that fact every few weeks until release.
why do widowmaker still exists

Efi wanted to build a robot to protect people like the OR-15s. Having been present at the airport and seen the destruction caused by Doomfist and how the OR-15s failed, she probably took a picture for later reference to plan her own robot.
Neither Ana nor Sombra were added to the game on a season start, so I don't understand why anyone expects new hero to be added in the beginning of Season 4.
If anything the 'hyping up' for the new character has only just started. I expect new hero to be released at least 0.5-1.5 months from now.
Also next animated short should totally be Junkrat + Roadhog, but it will most likely be the new hero, which appears to be a [b]frikkin robot[/b], so that's cool.

I dunno man. They're pretty tame compared to Blizzard's females.

If blizzard delays for a month after their initial tease they've learned literally nothing from the sombra arg

At least it won't be a timer going for months on a random website that then does literally nothing upon reaching 100%.
I noticed this happening way too often, but in Mystery Heroes I seem to switch into the character I'm looking at in the spectator camera almost 50% of the time
Like I'm Symettra -> I die -> spectator vision is focusing on a friendly Mercy -> I switch to Mercy automatically
It happens so much it's almost scary, sometimes it even switches to a hero I'm thinking about at that moment :v: Anyone else?

[QUOTE=Riorio;51884523]why do widowmaker still exists[/QUOTE]
Because all FPSs need a sniper class if they want to truly be an FPS
Even if said FPS has gameplay that thrives on player interaction and snipers as a gameplay mechanic are based around the complete opposite of that.

These are terms used in FPS games to describe classes that are made to excel against snipers.
"What are flankers and snipers"?
Overwatch design confuses me.
We gave Widowmaker a mine and a hook because we didn't want her to be weak to flankers.
Then how do you kill her?
Beats me. :eng101s:

Balancing X by making it weak to X isn't how good design works.
Also see Oizen's post for the flank part.

Winston and Genji. Also any tank if they can get close.

Jump at widow,
she hooks away
you wait 5 seconds for jump to come back
you continue the engagement and pray her team doesn't react in the huge ammount of time she can buy herself.
Thrilling.
Totally hope that the new hero has some cool skins. Ana and Sombra got some really cool and unique skins when they released so I hope that the next hero has the same luck.
I don't care if it's Efi, Doomfist, or someone completely different -- new hero needs a punk or goth skin. We have a distinctive lack of them and there frankly need to be a lot more.

the point is widow is a very selfish character besides pressing her ult every now and then and has one of the higher skill floors in OW, so you get a lot of people in pub who suck at her and are useless. At least a shitty Lucio, Reinhardt etc are still of use.

Having a shitty reinhardt might as well lose you the game.
For better or worse Reinhardt dictates the entire game right now.

I mean I think it could actually be pretty fitting. After all, Efi IS the right age group.
