Overwatch's new hero 'Sombra'. Give us some info about her.

[Ealyssa]

So all this bullshit cooldown hype was for another cooldown ?

I'm out, hype killed. GG blizzard, Ana release was actually more interesting/surprising.

[Raetary]

srsly tho, they should just announce her already.
this teasing is getting quite a bit too far.

The vast majority (and so people are assuming all) of the twitter stuff was determined as being fake:

Ah ok, thanks for letting me know.

[Raetary]

EDIT:
nvm, turned out to be just a good photoshop.

Why would someone who idolizes Soldier go and help the person who wants to kill him?

Who knows what happened between then and now? Besides puberty, lol. All we know is that Reaper knows her and is seemingly friendly with her unless his line has a different meaning and it's speculated that Alejandra is Sombra because she's Mexican, seems interested in becoming one of the "heroes" and there is a 23 under the poster she rips off the wall. She also feels bad for the omnic and refuses to hit him. Sombra also has something to do with omnics.


Also, her mother says she worries about her and that she's "at a crossroads" and that she's afraid that she could be "forced to make a choice that will decide the direction of her life". This is said just before her encounter with the omnic where she made the choice not to hit him. She seems a little rebellious as well and tired of how things are. I think a teenage girl eager to make a difference somehow could easily get herself into hacking. Sombra keeps repeating "information is power". She may not have military training or high tech guns but she has knowledge.

OH, also, the voice actress for Alejandra was asked if she was doing any more work for Blizzard and she said she wasn't sure if she could share details yet. http://imgur.com/WgJIhB7

4%

on this rate, it will take days to complete.

Point is, the % doesn't increase at static intervals. Also, the page source shows how it's pure text - but this can easily mean there's an automated process somewhere we don't have access to that simply overwrites the entire page every time; in the end they're just some text lines.

The more likely option imho is that the updates are triggered by something. People is looking out at that and if they really find it's like this, the process can be sped up much more.

Also, to increase the hype: there's a theroy running around involging Junkrat/Roadhog. Everyone knows about Junkrat's "hidden treasure", that suddendly made him a 25million$ criminal and forced him to hire Roadhog as bodyguard. Point is this:

He came to notoriety when he discovered an extremely valuable secret in the bones of the omnium.

Sombra and all the amomentincrime stuff looks boht tied to Junkrat and Omnics. The website shows an initiated communication to all omnics - hence people is speculating around a convincing theory that all of this is not only about Sombra, but also about a horde/mann vs machine new gameplay option.

Shouldn't she just say no... I mean, as soon as you say you're not sure if you can share details, it usually means you must be involved in something to say that in the first place..

yeah, but then people complain they lied. "I can't say anything" is the perfect best answer you can give

At this point they may just hold off on it because they find it fun to tease us like this

[Nyoken]

I hope it's gonna be some omnic that has stealth abilities.

Stealth would ruin this game, please no!

Chances are as they add more characters and emotes, they'll need her to come back in and add more voice lines for them. Or perhaps she will be involved in the TV show that is in development.

Very likely it will be a temporary state like Genji reflect or an ultimate - perma stealth hero would be hard as hell to balance (though we have multiple "wallhack" skills that help in that direction).

Even automatic stealth that breaks over action and/or damage taken will be pretty useless in fights as the game is spammy as hell and there's a truckload of aoe involved. I could be a bastion firing randomly and get Sombra out by sheer luck (which will be extremely fristrating). It would be like wow rogue stealth, with the excpetion that stunlock is non existant and most combat is done by range, making the "opener advantage" really small.

However it could be an awesome anti-turret tool and would make attack/defensesetups much more mixed. It could negate the turretes/drones aoutaim and allow for flaking stationary targets like bastion and snipers (while both hanzo and wm have "scanning" abilities that can see through it).

Honestly i think it would be interesting. However its not needed and Sombra could be working differently with no issues.

[Raetary]

considering the amount of AoE and gun spamm, not really, if she's a stealth hero she will have a hard time getting decloacked by random shots in a direction.

in other words, spammzo ftw!

Hasnt it already been hinted that Sombra worked with Morrison/Reyes before they became S76 and Reaper in which case that would rule out Alejandra by a fair few years.

i think we can all agree on what kind of pc sombra is working with
