Overwatch's Ana Amari Has Been Formally Unveiled

Following a vague teaser last week, Blizzard has formally unveiled Overwatch's first new character since launch, Ana Amari. She is a Support-type sniper who wields a "Biotic Rifle" that heals allies and hurts enemies. Her other abilities are a sleep dart that knocks enemies unconscious until damaged, a "Biotic Bomb" that heals allies and hurts enemies, and a "Nano Boost" that temporarily increases an ally's damage, defense, and speed.

While it's a bit of an odd one, I find the concept of a sniper that doubles as a healer to be quite intriguing. Ana Amari will allow players to simultaneously fill two roles that are not often combined, requiring a different kind of skill to play her role well.
