I don't give a poo poo about disguises, what I miss from TF1 was feign death. THAT WAS EXTREMELY! MY poo poo!

NObody knows what Sombras gonn be like except that they snuck in a bunch of voice lines a few patches ago about being alerted to hidden enemies, which is also when they added voice lines about the new map.

Spy would be cool, if it was less loving useless than the TF2 spy. Spy is a cool concept though.

the tf2 spy was really strong at launch, and just got worse and worse as people figured out how the game worked and what they were doing. i'm extremely fond of the class, personally.

overwatch is already designed in a way that makes it really hard for the spy to work, though - being able to see all your team-mates silhouettes and death indicators and so on. it'd have to be a completely different design...

I can't believe Sombra and all dlc characters from now on are going to be snipers

Spy is a really cool idea, but relying on disguises and cloaking for most of what it does just makes it too weak. I think Reaper fulfills a lot of its role in Overwatch, really.

So far we know that Sombrah is a sniper whom has stealth and uses stances to switch between melee and ranged and also can heal. The backstory is that she's pansexual and plays the flute.

yeah reaper has you checking your back and he can "cloak" to escape danger if poo poo doesn't go his way. if sombra is a techie, its probably gonna be a defense class that can play some mean keep-away with traps , but we'll see

i really want a true flamethrower/shottie offense class though, something tough that can actually fight in the frontline

Spies are worse than Snipers in TF2 because only severely mentally disabled people keep on playing them, and even those people know better than to keep playing Sniper when they're blowing dick at it.
