Overwatch - Sombra ARG

Sombra is (probably) a yet-to-be-released hero. Blizzard has been toying with its fans by releasing very cryptic information that led into one of the most frustrating ARGs of all time. The Overwatch community has been going nuts over this ARG for some time now and you can read a summary of the speculation over on Reddit here and here.

Sombra, whoever she is, speaks Spanish and is most likely involved with Blackwatch (the faction with Reaper and Widowmaker as its figureheads) who are the apparent bad guys in the Overwatch universe, although what each side represents and is fighting for isn't entirely clear. Neither are their motivations.

Personally, I am hoping that Sombra plays an effective defensive hero role, as all Defense Heroes are typically less useful than the current holy trinity of 2 tanks, 2 dps, 2 healers.

Hearthstone - One Night in Karazhan Wing 3 Released

Out of all the cards released so far, Barnes has probably received the most positive attention (the most attention - negatively - goes to Purify). However, the most underrated card thus far, in my opinion, has been Swashburglar. This card, along with a few other cards designed to increase card draw without resorting to Gadgetzan Auctioneer, has breathed new life into N'zoth Rogue for me.

Here is my current decklist - at the time of writing it has a record of 12 - 1, though this is at low ranks (since I have been using only experimental decks since Karazhan was released) and is also a small sample.
