More details on Ramattra
Thanks to some talks on the Watchpoint desk, the Overwatch developers for the new tank Ramattra gave some more insight on both backstory and future gameplay.
Starting with story, this hero will appeal to fans who have been looking to learn more about omnics. According to the dev team, his motives with Zenyatta were close enough to share a sibling-like relationship. At the same time, they’re opposed enough to not both remain monks. For omnics, their lives are more finite than humans and that is a core piece of Ramattra’s perspective.
As for gameplay, the video shows that the hero has two distinct forms. The regular omnic form features a staff, able to tank and negate damage for their teammates. But the other form is dubbed the nemesis form, making him more of an offensive threat, allowing him to contest backlines and punch enemies.
Ramattra statue available for pre-order
On top of the hero reveal, the Overwatch team also showed off a new item revolving around the new tank Ramattra. A hand-painted statue, showing off the top half of the character in distinct detail. Available for pre-order on the Blizzard shop soon, this is a great visual creation of the new hero for fans to get their hands on.
