Let me know your thoughts on Space Ranger by dropping a comment below!

[ozzy]

this is how you correctly tease a new hero, remember how ow 1 characters were teased, orisa and doomfist on numbani, echo on route 66, they used to do this and I'm so glad they're doing it more now

[sparquisdesade]

The morse code is a dig at jay3, meaning jay has finally landed a pulse bomb

[mikediaz]

I miss this way of teasing new heroes, it’s so charming and actually generates a lot of hype

[shiroimarcio]

Juno (the godess) is also mother of Mars (the Roman god)

[Tinte]

A day on Mars is called 'Sol' so she is essentially saying 'seize the day.'

When i'm at Dorado i got jumpscared by the pod i legit thought it's a bug

[cyberchocolate]

I'm betting that the photograph in the escape pod is of Mei and spacerangers mother obviously meaning that spaceranger is the daughter of Mei's friend from grad school.

If Space Ranger had to come to earth because of ANOTHER colony disaster, then somebody’s gotta the Lucheng people to get their sh*t together cuz they’re failing badly lmao

[stevenlamarche]

Gog damn it overwatch we have plenty of good guys and redemption heros, but little villains, specifically villain support. I want a second villain support to assist Moira.

[victorcasaca]

i know the skill is called SPEED ring but I want to point out that Kiri is the only support that reduces cooldowns and Mercy is the only support that can fly

[danielacosta]

Surprised nobody is speculating her utility is baptiste’s charge jump. She’s got those huge boots and devs said she has high vertical mobility. Could also be like mercy where she glides in mid air using her jet boosters

[luxeno_]

out of all support releases, i feel like she's been the most anticipated. She definitely has the potential to be the next Kiriko in terms of popularity

[SmoodGraphics]

I hope the marsh colony becomes a map sometime in the future because I miss Horizon lunar colony
But it will never come back because it’s a 2CP map

[Kakkisable]

It would be strange for the playtest to arrive in the middle of a collab event. My guess is it will be after it.

[justaguy]

Placing a ring and people going through it to get a speed boost would be a really neat idea.

[RN-Soonk]

After hearing the speed ring part, makes me theorize that the speed ring is placed on an ally similar to zen orb (unique to him only) which speeds up cooldown/ mov.speed/ or attack spd. If killed or taken a specific amount of dmg, the ring falls off which only the last player or space ranger can see on the map. She’ll have a high vertical mobility ability (flight/ super jump) to allow her to retrieve the speed ring.
And if really similar to zen, then another ability to reduce enemy movement speed or cooldown

[mintytheslime]

Just gonna point this out, there is a better fit for a "this game is going to get fast" style ability. Because maybe the speed ring won't boost movement speed, maybe it will boost attack speed. That lines up better than a flat speed boost since Kiriko is the only support with a way to increase attack speed. And perhaps the "faster" is referring to the time to kill as opposed to just moving faster? That's my take on it anyway.

[crunch]

If space ranger is Mei’s friend’s daughter, and left the colony because something bad happened, possibly her mothers death, that’s another person Mei has lost.

[HazelFE]

I think it’s possible that the space ranger we saw at blizzcon is an older design of the character before they wanted to work her story in with Mei resulting in her being aged up from that original design, I don’t think it’s likely but maaaaybe
