"It's newly post-meridian."

Sombra, hmm? Just what we needed, another offense character. So that makes 7 offense, 6 defense, and 5 each of tank and support, assuming you are a person who takes Symmetra seriously.
No idea how accurate the machine pistol will be, I presume it'll be just as accurate as Widowmaker's assault config.
She has a stun ability similar to McCree's flash bang, except that it can presumably be used on turrets & traps AND supposedly it can disable the enemy's ability to use health packs.
She can teleport like Reaper, but has to use a thrown object to do so, similar to Junkrat's mine. This makes teleporting short distances annoying, but she can be her own Symmetra if she wants.
She can turn invisible to ghost away from trouble or run through to flank without being detected (unless she gets that Predator-esque shimmer effect while cloaked).
Her ult is to basically flash bang everyone within whatever radius, including turrets (I assume Symmetra turrets will be destroyed as per usual).
Also she has ... fiber-optic fingernails? I suppose this gives the cosplay community a new challenge.

The hacking has a cast time, but once it succeeds it shuts down abilities for a small duration. It does NOT stun and does not stop regular attacks, so it's nothing like flash bang. Where it really becomes powerful is the health pack hacking, which makes the health packs your team only for 1 minute and it recharges faster (though likely able to be countered by an enemy sombra). It can also hack Torb turrets if you can get close enough to get off the cast.

Her pistol is very much like a mix of Soldier and Tracer, more deadly up close like Tracer, but has some decent range.

Her teleport is designed to allow her to either be sneaky and traverse places quickly (like reaper) or use it as an escape (like tracer). For instance, place it nearby, stealth into the enemy, activate ult, shoot until close to dead, then retreat. You only have a 15 second window to use it though, so don't lose track of time.

Her ult is an AOE blast that happens around her (meaning she has to be close) that knocks out shields, hacks abilities (including ults, bye bye Lucio Shield), and disables any nearby turrets (not sure if this will include Bastion. Once again it's not a stun, so the enemy can still retaliate with their general weapons until their abilities come back up.

Challenge accepted, apparently. I give you Soni Aralynn as Sombra.

Aww, no more 4xD.Va + 2xMercy? What a shame.
