Blizzard's Overwatch Looking Good

I've been reading a lot lately about Blizzard's new team-based arena-style first person shooter (jeez, that's a really long description--think Team Fortress 2) Overwatch.  It's currently in development and hopes to proved an alternative to the aforementioned TF2.

One of the more interesting articles I read described one of the two  most recent characters added to the game.  There is a character called McCree who appears to be some "old West" style gunslinger and a muscle-bound female character named Zarya.  That's right--I said muscle-bound female character.  She reminds me a lot of the heavy from TF2--she totes a big gun but can do more than simply mow down the baddies--she can also launch bomb-like projectiles that appear to have a devastating effect.  She's part heavy and part demoman...err woman.



The thing I like best about Zarya is that Blizzard decided to make a non-traditional female character.  All the other female characters seem to be of the pantsless, stealthy/snipery, castery variety.  She also has rockin' pink hair.  Who doesn't want to have rockin' pink hair?
