All I want is for her kit to not be pure pain to play against. In other words as far away from Kiriko as it’s possible to get.
Considering how bad Lifeweaver is, she has a low bar set before her. As long as she’s better then Lifeweaver, which it looks like she will be, I think she’ll be fine.
Still surprised at just how bad Lifeweaver is. Such a WASTE of a hero…let alone support hero which already has the fewest.
I don’t really have many thoughts on the new hero because we’ve seen so very little of what she does and what her numbers are. I couldn’t even tell you from the trailer whether her attack is projectile or hitscan. If it wasn’t for the leak, I’d have even less idea.
If Blizzard are hoping that I’ll get hyped up because my imagination will fill in the gaps then they’re going to be disappointed, because all it makes me do is shrug.
The only thing I’ve got to say is that I actually enjoyed the extreme rough draft of healing turrets from that experimental Sym, as massively scuffed and undertuned as that Sym was, and I’m glad they’re having a shot at that.

I think it is one, but has 150 health. It is basically a healing torb turret.
Don’t know about the rest.
hitscan I believe.
Ditto, my hype engine broke a way ago. Now this stuff doesn’t even get a raised eyebrow. until a hero is actually playable, I really don’t give a rat at all.

Blizzard in coincidental fashion once again releasing things around other peoples releases. Introducing a sun based hero right after the reveal of gear 5 sun god nika. Have they no shame. 
How do you figure that other than the fact that they are both dark skinned women?
Here, they even posted a picture of them right next to each other. I don’t know about you, but to me they look barely anything alike…

Her legs look mechanical like Sojourns and her weapon looks like another railgun.
Make her hair white and remove the cape and they really arent far off from each other.

Everything comes down to utility and damage for supports now a days. She needs her passive debuff to be shown off a little more right now as her utility seems underwhelming at the moment. Her viability will come down to how good that debuff is. Design wise I like her more than sojourn and when she ults oh hot mama.
Her appearance definitely looks bland and uninspired that’s for sure.

Not sure her legs are actually mechanical. They look more like boots to me. But it’s not like prosthetics are particularly unique in OW anyway lol.
(Edit: Just double checked. They are boots. You can see her toes lol)
And I’d say her gun looks a lot more like Zarya’s weapon than Sojourn’s, but perhaps that’s just me.
Yeah nah, you’d need to do a lot more than that.
Just look at this image. Completely different facial structure and head shape, different hairstyle and hair texture etc. Honestly the only real similarity is that they’re both dark skinned, and even then they’re very clearly not the same tone.

She’s here to nuke Lifeweaver and take his spot on the support roster.
Can’t get any more just than that!
Can’t really tell much without knowing her full kit and numbers
cool sojourn 2.0 now in support style… exactly what we needed. not

I like the fact that she works like Ana in terms of primary hitting allies = healing and primary hitting enemies = damage.
Not sure about the turret though, it will depend on the range and the jump button is some sort of glorified Baptiste escape button mixed with Lucio’s boop, which is still a better survival ability than Baptiste’s.
When it comes to her ult, I’m thinking Raze from Valorant. Since her ultimate doesn’t seem to heal allies at all, I expect her to have a very strong healing output with her primary.
Can’t wait to find out more about her tomorrow (or tonight if there’s an Illari specific trailer).
I have to use 20 letters to ask you Why?
design meh ability uhh i dunno fear of lifeweaver 2.0 i assume
All dark-skinned woman are Sojourn in disguise - Overwatch community.

They both have a rail gun and mech legs and similar skin tones and faces. If she had white hair they would be like twins
the hair is the main thing setting them apart, otherwise very similar

Or maybe since people compare her to Sojourn moreso than someone like Symm, even though Symm skin colour is more similar to Illaries, should tell you that its not about the skin colour.
Rail gun? I don’t see it personally. Looks more like Zarya’s gun to me.
Mech legs? They’re boots.
Similar skin tones? Like I said. Both dark skinned women. Not even the same skin tone either way.
Faces? Yeah, nope. Not even close. Have a better look lol because I don’t know how anybody can say that they have similar faces. I posted an image of her face earlier if you wanna scroll and see for yourself.
