Overwatch's Numbani Map Updated On The PTR, Doomfist's Glove Missing
As usual Overwatch is teasing with a number of enigmatic messages and updates to their game's universe. Earlier today a tweet from the official Overwatch account reported a confrontation at Numbani airport in which multiple OR15 defense units were destroyed:

Then the Numbani map was updated on the PTR. And a few Redditors have taken screenshots which show Doomfist's glove missing from the payload, along with the destroyed robots. And remember the interview from the other day? The 11 year old genius robotics inventor Efi Oladele discussed the OR15 robots which we see destroyed. "And someday, my dream is to build something that can keep us safe, like the new OR15s! I think that would be great." Is she about to build something to keep us safe?
That fist sized crater we see in the images makes me think Doomfist, but Jeff Kaplan said hero 24 is not who we think it is. So now what's going on? Maybe whoever stole the glove is the new Doomfist. But what does it have to do with Efi Oladele?
What's the point of the payload without Doomfist's glove? All these questions and more.
Got to hand it to Blizzard, they know how to charge up interest. I haven't even played Overwatch in a bit but now I'm curious to see who or what they're about to reveal.
