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

[rock4ever]

I dont doubt she is a person in the overwatch universe. I have doubts as to whether she'll be playable.

[Raetary]

Has blizz ever said Sombra is a playable hero?

The more I think about it, I believe she isn't playable. How would a hacker be implemented in a FPS?

by not having the character sitting in front of a pc but let her do something maybe?
the datamined sound files from a while ago imply someone has stealth.

that would be a slap in the face for everyone spending their time decoding stuff for the ARG.

And would also make it a complete waste for them to encrypt it in the first place

It's also a waste of time when everything just leads to another timer

If we assume Sombra is a character, this could tell us that you need a patient playstyle to play her well.. Or maybe Blizzard just don't have anything better to do

Well it's not going to effect her release schedule, so it is all entirely pointless. It's not like any of this stuff has given us anything interesting, just more timers. When the time comes to give us something clear, like Ana's Biotic Rifle schematics, it'll come. Until then, there's not really a lot to follow unless you're genuinely into cryptography.

For everybody here, in case you missed it, this was tweeted by Overwatch in Spanish a couple days ago:

[Off Rol] Cuando Sombra se anuncie de forma oficial recopilaremos todo el proceso con el que se ha trabajado.

[Off role] When Sombre is officially announced, we will gather all the process with which we've worked on.

Doesn't admit it's a character or a new game mode. Pretty ambiguous.

Where's this idea that it's a game mode come from? Reaper refers directly to Sombra as a person, or at the very least an entity (some form of Omnic or AI within an Omnic) who's help he wants. That would make no sense as a game mode.

people think that we might get some sombra protocol game mode where we fight some kind of virus infested omnics.

The theory is that Sombra is a god program (which are referred to as people) who is responsible for a horde mode, see my post on the last page.

Who says hacking is all she can do?

Still seems a tremendous leap of logic, even if a 'god program', she'd "friendly" at least to the half of the cast that is Talon so why would she 'go rogue' like this if Reaper wants her presence there?

Talon is like.. 2 people on the Roster unless I'm just being dumb.

But yeah, no idea why she'd go rogue since Reaper implies he wants her present.

Technically 1 officially, since Reaper is labeled as a Mercenary, but he might as well be.

Although he's a mercenary affiliated with Talon.

And is seen working with them in all the promotional material

Yeah, sure there were more than just WM and Reaper working for them in that material, I'll have to go back and take a look.

Pretty sure that's just generic grunts though. The cinematic trailer is WM/Reaper in the museum, Alive is Widow + generic grunts and whatever the Winston one is called is Reaper + Generic grunts.

Unless I'm remembering wrong, which is very possible.
