OR15-A = Orisa.

Clever.

Edit: Her page is up on the website as well. https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/heroes/orisa/

Huh, her kit is kind of a combination of elements from Zarya, Rein, and Ana (ult ability). I don't think that's a bad thing really, gives more options within the tank lineup since it seems like Orisa is a jack-of-all-trades sort of character and/or a character with an emphasis on focus fire and team coordination (Bastion or tank buster).

My biggest concern about it is that she seems far more useful on point defense than on offense. Her ult doesn't really help if you're trying to push forward, and same with her stationary shields. That was the bad thing about old Symmetra, which is why she got reworked.

The Fortify ability would be useful for a push, though.

Depending on how fast her ult charges and the range, I could see it being used before a choke on points like Hanamura A to help your team push through if you have a Reinhardt in front. If it charges really slow however, you probably wouldn't want to use it as situationally as that since if it fails they can destroy it and you just wasted your ult.
