Hey guys I have written an article on Orisa, the new hero. Just wanted to share it with you guys.

http://blightgaming.com/orisa-is-a-replacement-to-reinhardt-or-is-it/

The new hero is shown as an alternate Anchor tank for Reinhardt? But can it really serve as an alternate to Reinhardt? It quite situational

the game is way too chokepoint-based for reinhartd to ever fall out of favor

I feel like she's more of a better off-tank, has the range rein doesnt while having a budget graviton on an 8sec cooldown, plus can pop down an emergancy sheild like winston (but with more HP) and has D.Va's Defense matrix

Honestly...they basically took mercy and all tanks but roadhog and forced them to have a baby

Think she'll be weak in solo queue but hopefully inspires some Korean set plays.

Unless Blizzard were to buff Orisa to the point that she's blatantly overpowered, I don't see her being a replacement for Rein anytime soon. Her kit is fantastic and when I played her on the PTR she felt really well balanced for a hero that had just been announced.

I guess if Blizzard really wanted to make her an "anchor tank" she would probably need more health and a redesigned shield that covered more area, but I question even those changes because I'm not sure if she would be crossing the verge of overpowered.
