After months of speculation and rumors. Hero 27 has been confirmed by the Overwatch team and much to no body's surprise, it is Brigitte Lindholm, the youngest daughter of Torbjörn Lindholm and apprentice to Reinhardt. 

Be sure to listen to this week's show, great conversation about the new up and coming hero. Click here.

She is a hybrid tank\support, with an emphasis on support but, like her master, can throw down on the front line. Her main weapon, Slaga, is a flail type melee weapon that has a little range on it. With each hit on the enemies, it provides a small heal over time to her allies that are grouped around her.

Her first ability is called "Repair Pack". It is a targeted healing abilities that will provide armor if that target is either over healed or already at full health. It is on a 6 second cool down, so its up pretty fast. Your target will get 150 health, if they don't need that much health then the rest is converted to armor. 

Her second ability is called "Whip Shot". Its a straight line skill shot that will knock back a target in front of you. It deals 70 damage and has a 4 second cool down.

Her third ability is called "Barrier Shield". Its a small shield that she lifts up in front her. Its small, only really providing herself a way to get around damage. The shield has 600 health. 

Her forth ability is only accessible when her shield is up, its called "Shield Bash". Brigitte dashes forward for 8 meters knocking back and damaging any enemy in front of her. Enemies who are hit are stunned for 3 seconds. It has a 5 second cool down.   

Her passive is called "Inspire". Every melee hit grants you and your allies a heal over time of 80 health over 5 seconds with each additional hit resetting the timer of the heal. It does not stack. 

Her ultimate is called "Rally". This has 2 effects. 1) Gives Brigitte increased attack speed 2) You and all allies with in 10 meters of you gets 150 armor over time for 10 seconds. 

Along with the origin story, Jeff Kaplan from the Overwatch team also released a developer update detailing Brigitte. 

She is now playable on the PTR (PC only). I got my hands on her and she is fun as heck to play. I do believe that she is going to change the meta. The death ball comp is back bay bay! 

This is just speculation and going by past heroes. She will be on the PTR for a week, then she will be released to the world. Two weeks she will be able to be playable in competitive. Unfortunately, will we have to wait until stage 3 to see her in the Overwatch League.

What do you guys think? Have you had a chance to play her? Do you feel she is a little too good? Do you think she is meta changing? Tell us about it in the comments below.

And as always. This is James with Game Fix. Game on everybody!
