Also last night I EMBRACED TRANQUILITY and was so chill I accidentally fell into the well on Ilios and couldn't stop laughing.

I think there were a dozen Zenyattas that game all in all. So peaceful

Okay so it's one of three possibilities for the new hero.

Spider tank. (not very likely)
Doomfist. (hah nope)
GREEK (probably)

But isn't the map this picture from the one with all the Doomfist banners and the actual doomfist at the end?

CONVICTED OF DISPLAYING HIS PEANUTS IN PUBLIC
I think the new hero is probably a set up, plot wise, for the eventual Doomfist release later this year. So the theft of the Doomfist will spring the new character to action, and then later we might have an event or something for the actual Doomfist reveal.

Maybe we're getting Efi's robot and Doomfists at the same time so technically that statement will still be true. Or maybe Doomfist will be a special brawl PVE boss fight

Edit: cause like come on, there's no way that damage wasn't caused by Doomfist

Playing as Mercy I'm just happy to see my name in the hud of the person actually getting the POTG.

I was playing Mystery Heroes last night. The other team had a well coordinated 4 stack, our team had me and my buddy (we are terrible at working together) and 4 solo queuers. The other side dominated us for 199% of the 2 outdoor Nepal maps. My team had been attacking from the side the whole match so I was able to walk in the front door and gun down 4 people as Bastion before their Hanzo got me. Our guys storm the point in overtime when the enemy Mercy swoops in from her hiding spot and rezzes the four I'd killed. They spend a few seconds coordinating fire on the rest of my team, overtime drops to zero, and we lose. Play of the game pops up and its that Mercy. "It's gotta be the 4 player rez" I told my buddy. The gameplay starts and its overtime already and the whole play of the game is Mercy shooting at my teammates and mostly missing them with her pistol while the rest of her team wipes us out. The game ends a few seconds into the POTG as the last of us drop. The rez must have happened a few seconds before the POTG start, like the algorithm was asleep on the job or something. I wish I'd recorded it.

Let'en my post flyen true
Iirc, that 4chan(?) leak from a few pages back said that the timeline of events is that Efi gets implemented, then there's a terrorist attack on Numbani, and then Efi's brother donnes the gauntlet and becomes Doomfist. So if Doomfist isn't the cause of this attack, then, according to that leak, he becomes the direct result of it.

That was pretty intense, huh?

So if Efi safe :ohdear: or is she gonna die in another Numbani terrorist/Talon attack and her brother (or robot creation) will become her avenger?

Maybe her brain gets put into the robot spider like those guys in Return of the Jedi. And we get Doomfist as her brother as well.

Well, Efi took the picture of the attack, so she's probably okay at the moment.

Efi will repair one of those robots, give it a new coat of paint and a conciousness, and that robot will be Doomfist's nemesis.

Doomfist attacks and is not playable yet, but Efi's spider bot saves the day and that's what's playable.

PLOT TWIST

Two new heroes are coming at once!

The reason they're saying #24 won't be who we think it is is because #24 is unknown, but Doomfist is #25 and is being released at the same time.

Just to gently caress with people.

Or maybe #24 has the gauntlet but doesn't use the name Doomfist and is instead named MURDERSLAP (original character do not steal)

I'd be way down for that, if only because maybe then there'll be less chance of people instantly leaving if they don't get to slam pick the new guy

Jeff Kaplan has said "24 is not who you think it is" and everyone thought it was Doomfist, so now nobody thinks it's Doomfist, but Jeff may in fact be on some next-level meta self-fulfilling prophecy poo poo where convincing everyone to think it's not Doomfist causes everyone to be surprised when it is in fact Doomfist.

His tweet was specifically directed at an individual who thought the next hero was going to be someone other than Doomfist.

Given Blizzard's track record of trying to fake out people, I went into this with the expectation that the new hero will be Widowmaker's twin brother, Widowermaker. He'll be an anti-sniper who deals crit bodyshots from melee range and is so universally loathed that widowmaker will make a "I'm the good twin" voice line.

That way I can always honestly say that it was not who I thought it was, and be entirely correct about it..
