It has been a while, but Blizzard has tweeted out a new teaser image. This time related to a certain support...
Those of you who have been following Overwatch since the start of its closed beta, and even before, know that Jeff Kaplan and the crew are fond of sending out teasers. Teasers were spotted throughout the maps when people first logged in, but teasers are also occasionally shared on Twitter. After a long drought, @PlayOverwatch just shared the following:
Giving out way more information than in most other teasers, the images shows designs for a scoped rifle that appears to be comparable to Mercy's Caduceus Staff. Referenced by Torbjörn as a weapon for medics, this prototype is further confimation of a lot of speculation: Sombra, the longrange support hero. It seems that we can expect an official announcement, and even release, in the coming days and weeks.
Reddit user /u/tisbutahumbug compiled all information on Sombra just last month, so be sure to check their post out.
What kind of abilities will she have exactly? Nobody knows (except for Blizzard of course). We are thinking aimed healing bullets, as well as possible directional shields and some kind of vision. Here's to hoping for a Wanted-like sniper shot Ultimate.
