Finally... have been keeping up with the ARGs.. took forever for them to finally show this.

Next week she will be in PTR... shouldn't be too long until she turns up in regular play.

I'm thinking she'll be terribly OP for a week or so before they nerf her a bit. I think Blizzard does this on purpose to get players to spend more time playing her so that more are likely to get skilled with her, making her viable even after the balancing. Will be very interesting to see what her DPS output is like, because it seems like she's got a couple of abilities that will be very powerful... removing a Reinhardt's shield = useless Reinhardt in many occasions. Same goes for Zarya who won't be able to get charged...

I wonder how the "hack" ability will work... if it's as easy as placing a discord orb on someone (but with a bit longer cooldown) I think it'll be way too powerful. Hope they do something like Ana's sleep dart...

Already slighty overpowered

looks like my kinda hero  can't wait to try her out myself.

Her skill set explained!

So she can see low-health enemies through walls?! ...AND she'll pretty much always have the return-beacon up since it lasts 15 seconds and has low cooldown. :blink:

Prediction - she will be OP for the first week

I reckon they will release her to the game (i.e. normal servers - not just PTR) the week season 2 of comp ends, so they can balance her for the start of season 3, 1 week later.

This is quite an interesting read actually

Im quite excited to get a new hero. But God damn do I want some new maps now too!!!

[Gunda]

Sombra live on the ptr now, along with the new games modes

[main]

Sombra looks great fun and it might become my favourite character to play. But I agree with Chaos, hope they make more maps soon. Koth and payload maps, because they rotate so quickly during an evening play.

ive been thinking since the blizzcon announcement she looks really really fun think i will end up spending some time on sombra lots of cool tricks to come im sure

[Chaosphere]

Rumours are that Sombra is coming to the main game soon - perhaps even today - along with many of the other changes from the PTR.
