She a blueish (ok purple) skinned assasin/sniper, not bad to the eyes if i can say, not quite talkative. She even have shoulder pad with light... alas no pointy ears

so what you think? (it just for fun am not being serious)

Seems like nearly every MOBA or hero action game in the same style has at least one blue-skinned warrior babe.

seem to me like they re-hashed the ghost version of kerrigan from Starcraft and made her an exotic color. :geek:
Kinda unoriginal in my opinion, but then again Blizzard is probably trying to straddle that fine line between a nostalgic vibe and something new. Most of the other characters are standard battle arena classes.

Blizzard HQ:
guy 1: we need a guy who builds turrets

guy 2: how about a short bearded dude who exudes essence of dwarf ?

guy 1: great! but how do we make him modern and new?

guy 2: give him a gun with a really dumb reload animation !

guy 1: perfect! but he still needs a hammer to make the turret

guy 2: and don't forget cheesy one liners like 'Hammer Time'

Honestly it looks cool but at this point it just looks too much like tf2.
I'll probably wait and see if it meets expectations before I pass my final judgment.
