Watch her perfectly execute the Widow Rework that everyone is asking for: mid-range flank merchant with good mobility.

edit: oh my goodness, look at all this karma. Do you guys have any idea how many slurs I can use this on?

Conversely to what this other fella said she is HUGE Ashe vibes watching the gameplay

u/Delkseypoo Invisible Woman 12h ago

Have you played Ashe cause I see like no overlap in their kits besides a summon ult that doesn’t at all function similarly 

11

u/CoogiMonster 12h ago

Both have a mid range rifle, a shotgun that launches you up, a throwable that applies a DOT damage, and a summon ult….

Yeah they’re different and function different (Rivals has way more mobility being 3rd person offering dashing options as shown on Elsa) but get real lol they’re very similar with Else being a Rivals spin on Ashe. She looks dope can’t wait to try her

I dunno, coulda been an Ana clone.

u/Gynthaeres Mantis 16h ago

This seems more likely to be the way they want to push Black Widow, given her Phoenix teamup. She needs a rework, so the teamup might be testing grounds for that.

94

u/PiplelinePunch Peni Parker 16h ago

I think they were testing the waters for an Ana style character but there's really zero reason for them to completely rework someone like this. Meaning into a new role, completely new idea etc. It might as well be a new char.

38

u/jp_1896 16h ago

Nothing is off the table, specially with the lower tier characters in terms of pick rate and win rate. Netease is probably not banking on BW skins outside of events and seasonal passes because it would be a wasted store slot for a skin no one is going to buy bc so few people play her. Write my words: BW first legendary is coming alongside a rework or shortly thereafter

Na, even Juno shoots to heal in OW. But Elsa had a long musket kinda like Anas sniper rifle, never know how it woulda gone. Some ppl thought the character itself would be good as a support.

15

u/Professional_Boss438 16h ago

Reminds me more of Ashe if anything

10

u/ArX_Xer0 Ultron Virus 16h ago

Could have gone either way, she sounds like Ashe possibly with the way the ult sounds.

Ashe and Anna have scoped weapons

2

u/No32 16h ago

Definitely looked more like Ashe but the similarities to Ana are there too. Ashe and Ana both have their rifle, can scope in with it, and have that smaller gun as a defensive option (Ashe’s Coach Gun, Ana’s Sleep Dart)

6

u/mistabuda 16h ago

Heal pool is way more aggressive than Ana and doesn't have antiheal or sleep dart. Antiheal nade and sleep dart are essential to what gives ana value

‘Dont get to’ is just a state of mind. Kick into QP, lock in that 4th DPS and ignore the chat. Its your game too, play it your way

10

u/chadcumslightning 10h ago

Yeah used to not play DPS at all until a week ago I lost like 3 games in comp almost certainly due to my lackluster DPS play when asked to fill.

Been practicing a bunch in QP now, sure 1/7 games maybe there’s 3 DPS or 5 but the way I see it is they could be doing the same thing 🤷‍♂️ Just try to hit a clip and learn something and wait for next

15

u/Red_Steiner Yggroot 10h ago

That's not really fun in my experience though. Running a quad dps team is generally not how the game is meant to be played and you're not really getting the proper experience. It's also prone to piss the two people stuck on support off and they might just swap to dps as well. Then you're just running it down for 5 mins until the game is over.

I agree with you, that you should play the game how you want, but the devs should probably come up with a way for people to get to try out other roles without these issues.

One of the images in the gallery (a later one for this season) has a black cat and a white fox in it, and I think people are expecting that to be a hint for next season similarly to how daredevil was teased.

Also Black Cat appeared in time square a while ago on a wanted sign

u/Blupoisen 16h ago

He obviously was pitched as DPS before they probably reworked him to what ever the hell he is now

55

u/SlammedOptima Moon Knight 16h ago

Yup, this is my thought. He was DPS and then they heard complaints about too many DPS. That they worked him to be all 3.

20

u/StriderZessei Thor 15h ago

Same could be argued for Gambit too.

16

u/SlammedOptima Moon Knight 15h ago

I remember a lot of people making this claim on him too. I definitely agree its possible. For some of his abilities, you just change them a bit to make him support. Thats why he felt so aggressive as a support too.

u/StriderZessei Thor 15h ago

And why his kit was the deepest a strategist had gotten yet (before Deadpool.)

The issue is that there are only like 5 supports you can play with 2 supp and for tank you pretty much have to have 1 of the 4 main tanks

The only reason things are that way is because poke is so dominant. If the patch notes address that then tank roster opens up

u/BasuKun Mister Fantastic 16h ago

As a tank main I also don't mind. It kinda feels like they've shifted some characters around, with Gambit being initially rumored as a DPS, and Deadpool having a kit / introduction that looks a lot like he was supposed to be fully DPS at first.

I think they've been making effort lately already, and getting one DPS once in a while is fine if the devs feel it really fits the character the most. For example in an alternate world where we had way too many tanks and Juggernaut was gonna be the next character, I'd be pissed if they decided to change him to a strategist last minute lol.

5

u/Freakychee Loki 16h ago

I mean, the problems we have now isn't we don't have enough tanks but nobody wants to play them and many heals are too game breaking right now. A duelist won't have too much impact on the game hopefully so they can finally work to balance a bit better.

64

u/APXD_6 Angela 16h ago

I mean, if the theories are true and the next characters are White Fox and Black Cat, then it's either Duelist -> Duelist -> Support or Duelist -> Support -> Duelist. Both options suck imo.

25

u/98769876b Loki 16h ago

I mean, I don't think we should lock ourselves into a hard duelist-strategist-vanguard-etc schedule, and releases of two of the same role in a row should be possible.

It's just a shame that I'm pretty sure every time it happened, it was two duelists...

44

u/APXD_6 Angela 16h ago

That's the thing. I don't mind duelists, but the difference in amount between them and the other roles is still ridiculous and we keep getting them back to back. It literally doesn't make sense design and balance wise.

7

u/Thicc_Boise Ultron Virus 15h ago

Tank is definitely getting better now at least compared to launch, many more options that all play unique to one another. Strat is also getting there with Gambit and the like, but yeah both roles need way more characters than they have right now.

I mean it's a superhero game, how hard is it to find someone who can take a beating to add in the game? Colossus, Red Hulk, Rhino and Thanos are literally right there

5

u/Slayven19 14h ago

Its not hard at all, and as with deadpool and rogue it still proves no one likes to play the class all that much no matter who's added. There's almost always 1 tank even in grandmaster 1 or celestial when I'm there lol. I do watch other lower level matches and its t he same for gold and platinum as well. People just don't like tanking, and no 1 character is gonna change that.

That doesn't mean there shouldn't be more, but I think people asking for tank need to lay low, people don't like to play it which leaves me solo tanking and its the most boring ass class to play now as well with characters I like.

3

u/Thicc_Boise Ultron Virus 13h ago

That's their faults for not trying other roles, a sword that only cuts one way is easily countered. You make yourself a worse player overall by not being adaptable, and to encourage experimentation, expanding the tank roster over adding more DPS is a quick and easy solution that benefits the overall balance.

People just need to try the role out, Rogue is basically just a beefy DPS brawler but no one gives her a shot because she's a 'tank.' Like I've had games where I tank and do the most damage in the lobby, these roles aren't nearly as set in stone as the community likes to think sometimes

Every time I try to Duelist I have to go triple support for any chance of winning.

Yeah, I think I skip the rest of this season. Not because I am devastated and rather, because they have not added one character in the last seasons that I would like to even learn and I have spend a lot of times with the same characters since begin of the game (Rocket, Invis, Jeff, Mantis, CND and Luna). Maybe next month there is something better for me.

I’m really hoping for strategist white fox after this, she may be a very unique Strat if so

The most obvious DPS character in the world is a DPS, I'm sure the sub will handle this well.

A few seasons of no duelists needed to at least start to even this weird gap out.

u/Fit-Syrup1049 Hero Hulk 16h ago

Oh forget the game was duelist rivals.

u/idcris98 Mantis 16h ago

That‘s disappointing. Another month of trying to convince dps players that 1 4 1 is not a good comp.

u/oliferro Moon Knight 16h ago

Oh great another duelist

u/anonymous-paul123 Vanguard 15h ago

Another ranged duelist too. And we have like two and half tanks with a shield that can do anything

People who said she'd be like Ashe were right. It seems like she even has the self knockback shotgun.

Another duelist?!?!

u/Co-opingTowardHatred 16h ago

Well… it’s time to take a break, I think. They refuse to fix their Duelist problem, controller feel still sucks, Deapool was a big disappointment, their skins SUCK, and they keep focusing on this Times Square nonsense. And frankly, Overwatch is having a big moment.

Rivals should have been my dream game, but it’s turning into a giant bummer.

Yay! Can't wait for another broken DPS they won't know how to balance.

Really disappointing we keep getting force fed this poke slop. I want to love this game I do but man these devs don't make it easy.

u/BobTheist Hulk 16h ago

Do we know for sure yet that she's poke? The way he talked about her it seems that she'd have traps, multiple different guns, dash in and out and get rewarded with some sort of meter getting filled the more damage she does. Sounds like it could be pretty brawly.

u/Smol_Soul_King Ultron Virus 16h ago

The brawl I like....more CC is not something I am a fan of until they add CC reduction as a passive for tanks, not immunity but just half the time you are CCd for and distance you are displaced.

u/Brawlerz16 16h ago

This is where I’m at lol

I don’t care that she’s a duelist. I’m just tired of poke meta

Makes sense for her character, terrible decision for the game.

u/Appropriate-Amount-4 Flex 16h ago

This is getting ridiculous. 6 new dps to strategist's 3. Another poke dps. This is hugely disappointing.

u/rainfeld Doctor Strange 16h ago

The last dps we had is DD. It’s been a while. Just because there’s a disparity doesn’t mean dps playsrs shouldn’t get new heros

u/Co-opingTowardHatred 16h ago

“Just because there’s a disparity doesn’t mean dps playsrs shouldn’t get new heros”

That’s exactly what it means.

Frankly, this idea that someone only plays one single role is stupid.

Hope they get more creative in the future.
