I bet the next character will be a full offensive like reaper and you'll get entire teams full of them.

Reaper isn't a full offensive though. He's a flanker. McCree, Soldier, and Phara are your full offensive heroes. Reaper gets murdered trying to charge in. I think that's he biggest confusion with casual players. They just look at their category and think they can do it all. Tracer and Reaper are meant to distract, not be front line attackers. Junkrat and Mei are really the only heavy hitters that can go front line defense, They can be played like attackers, but the rest are mainly backline, and Zen and Ana are not suppose to be main healers, they are complementary. But in QP, once someone picks Ana, forget anyone else being a healer. That's why i always pick Zen after someone picks a healer. Reaper only got overly picked because he looks cool. Hes not picked anywhere near as much anymore over the more powerhouse offensive heroes. When 76's buff comes through, it will probably be even less. It just baffle me that Ana's newness hasn't worn out yet. Even if some jackass plays a flanker like a frontliner, its better than having zero help in the healing dept. I don't have time to stay in Ana's line of sight. We had a boss Lucio on our team the second half of the night and we were unstoppable. Healers are everything, you can mix and match the pieces for everyone else.

Time to get yourself a good pocket healer DX, I'd nominate myself but I don't have the game yet

I just can't imagine why people on console can't get it through their heads that Ana is not a main healer (same with Zen but it seems Ana is the main problem here). If you just look at her abilities she screams support healer as in she's supposed to support Mercy/Lucio. I'm almost afraid to come into this because I'm going to rage if people do this to me because my first goal once I get the game is to get good with Ana (I'm already great as Mercy so I don't need practice on her and my Lucio game isn't bad but it could use work) because I prefer to play the support healer roll and not main healer (and I guarantee my ass will stick to the tank if no one plays an actual healer, fuck supporting a team that won't do whats necessary). This was always my main worry with this game since no one wants to play the roll of Tank or Healer (and the few that do get frustrated because they're stuck in that roll though some do embrace it) that I'd be stuck in that roll because I'm a team player (which is odd, I'd rather be dead before I mained a healer/tank in an MMO (yes I have White Mage at 60 in FFXIV but I don't main it (and I'm mediocre at best), I'm a dps all the way (hence why all dps classes are 60 with the exception of Black Mage and Summoner) which is why I main Ninja/Monk).

I get the feeling that if the next character is Sombra its going to be a pure damage hero as what little we know about her points to her being similar to Reaper in a lot of ways (a flanking type, which might work as a defensive character but I doubt it). I honestly don't think they'll bring in another tank for quite awhile (probably when they decide to bring Doomfist into the game, he sounds like he'd be more of a tank based character (that is if they ever decide the bring the new one into the game, apparently he was just an afterthought for plot sake)).
