The ult will be made or broken by the range.

She'll be doing the same thing as Reaper: use movement abilities to get into place, then pop ult right as Zarya pops hers.

She can cloak like a Spy and use the Spy's sapper on people.

She can also teleport, but Spy can backstab.

the double jumping character is a ripoff of scout also

is there a video of what sombra's gun attacks look like in practice, because I feel like that's actually a pretty big deal in how useful this character is

Sombra looks fun. Translocator could probably have some really cool uses since it's (assumingly) not limited horizontally like Tracer's. Playing against her seems annoying, but whatever so are other heroes.

It's going to be used as the escape back to safety after she sneaks behind enemy lines and uses ult.

I just want Blizzard to add a hero based loosely on one of their other games called something like Karrigen so I can have an ultimate that summons in a swarm of 23 Zorglins to run around and eat everyone on the map.

Nevermind, watching a stream now.

Her translocator is like a grenade on a short cooldown and she can throw it and teleport there instantly. Like think of Ana's grenade, she can huck it across the map and instantly appear there.

make the translocator telefrag, but also make it so if you try to teleport to a broken beacon you telefrag yourself. go whole hog blizzard you cowards

I guess I'll have to see how she actually is when we get to play her, but right not it seems like she's got a lot of abilities that would make her super useful even if she only had one of them.

Her left-click also does too much damage for how useful her entire kit is. She's like Tracer with more mobility, more utility, and a better ult.
