Orisa is the new hero being added to Overwatch. On the "PlayOverwatch" YouTube channel you can see the developer update where Jeff talks about her. In short, Orisa's abilities consist of: a deployable shield, an ability that's effectivly Graviton Surge and her ultimate ability is like Mercy's damage boost but it goes on the floor and can affect multiple allies.
My thoughts on Orisa - She will be used a lot for three, maybe four weeks just so players can see what she's like then she might die off a bit. Due to her abilities, she will be mostly used on defence and as a tank (I assume) that's a good thing because I feel like we need another tank hero to join the party. I'm excited to use her and am hopeful for what she brings... hopefully it's good. I've watched a fair amount of Twitch streams and I now know that Orisa is very good at holding ground and laying down lots of covering fire and being a large target to hit and to distract the other team. However, the hitbox for her head is as big as Numbani, so snipers have an easy shot against her. But there are still changes to be made to her so we can only wait. Here's to another character! Also with this upcoming update there are some changes towards characters that even I didn't see coming. Characters such as Ana, Sombra, Winston, Junkrat, Zenyatta, Orisa and Lúcio. Sombra: Sound effects and VO distance for entering and exiting stealth reduced to 15 meters. Her translocator's cooldown had been reduced from 6 seconds to 4 seconds. Winston: His barrier's cooldown now starts when the barrier is deployed instead of when it ends Zenyatta: The Orb of Destruction - alternate fire recovery reduced from 1 second to 0.6 seconds. The Orb of Discord can now target players through walls. Junkrat: No longer deals damage to himself with his grenades Orisa: Magazine size reduced from 200 to 150 Ana: Sniper damage decreased from 80 to 60, her biotic grenade damage has been reduced from 60 to 30 and her healing grenade from 100 to 50 Lúcio: Projectile speed increased from 40 to 50, the "boop" now considers vertical orientation, songs AoE has been reduced from 30 meters to 10 meters, healing-per-second increased by 50% (affects when it's ampped up),the sound barrier radius reduced from 30 meters to 10 meters, movement speed increased by 30% when wallriding and he now receives a speed boost when jumping off of walls. My thoughts. Ana got hit a little too hard, Lúcio is now waay more viable as a healer and now much more fun to play. Everything else I can deal with. -Ben
