lucio: has an ability that is occasionally referred to in the community as a "boop"
sombra: says "boop" multiple times in official media

there's no concrete evidence it's one way or the other but I have a really strong feeling it was an early sombra gag

well it's a halloween event item
so it's much more likely to be for a character that was actually released at the time.
It's not a Lucio specific spray though, so it could just as easily be just a general thing

on the contrary, I think it's equally as likely that it was meant as a teaser for a new hero

I mean, we did have a long (albeit awful) ARG leading up sombra's release

[Regulith]

I have to admit that skin looks a lot better in-game than it did when they revealed it

black thugs bully autistic white child

[Shift Kitty]

alright, that shot right there, that's what makes genji a raiden ripoff

no male has an ass like a metal gear character

[gr8dayseth]

ah man i forgot how cool mystery heroes is
it feels a bit more like you're in the overwatch universe where if a character dies they stay dead unless resurrected but there's still constant reinforcements
pretty neato imo

I can't play 1v1 or 6v6 randoms because it might put me on Winston or Tracer and ruin my play times :(

brawl/arcade doesnt record stats

this is fantastic news

did a 3v3

only needed 3 rounds

got 8 out of 9 kills

I did a ton of 3v3s but it suffers from Lone Wolf Syndrome even worse than typical matches; at least half of the rounds I played my teammates would go in two completely different directions, even though most of the time they were in a party together

And almost every single time, the person I didn't go with would die in the first 60 seconds

Loving the pharah jet changes. Getting a lot more kills now purely because it's a lot easier to sneak behind enemy groups

I think i might throw in the towel with Bastion for good. I've experimented and played with this character to the best of my abilities but unfortunately he cannot and will not compete effectively at higher levels. Too many counters, to low mobility and pathetic recon damage. With the addition of Sombra this problem only escalates as now he'll more often than not be pulled out of his only useful feature which is his turret mode, and I'm pretty sure Blizzard doesn't even have it on the mind that the character needs a re-balance now that Overwatch and the rest of the character list has outgrown him. The only way he can be played effectively is if your team takes care of you and you rely on your team 100%. While i wouldn't say thats a bad thing, It's a particularly bad thing when he's solo-ing against just about anyone now and ends up cut off from the herd. Too many people hate Bastion via primal instinct from the beta so if you're not in an overwatch team thats made up with friends, your own team mates will leave you to your devices while Bastion aggros just about every enemies attention no matter who it is. If you disagree I'd love to hear your thoughts, but i'm finally convinced, Bastion is cursed to eternally noob-stomp low-levelers.

TL;DR: Bastion doesn't really need to be in the game anymore

not liking sombra personally so far. fun addition to a team, but not my style of play
also 1v1 matches need some tweaking imo. the maps too big, and some heroes should be removed (bastion)

[Legodude77]

1v1 should just let you pick your own hero, but whenever you win you cannot play that hero again.
