Sombra has always been a somewhat controversial hero in Overwatch 2 due to her unique playstyle as a damage character. Unlike other heroes, she avoids direct confrontations, relying on hacks and stealth to tilt the odds in her favor, creating situations that are far from fair for her opponents. Additionally, her ability to effortlessly escape further adds to the frustration of both teams when she's in the game.
Considering these challenges, it comes as no surprise that the developers have committed to reworking her, as revealed in the season roadmap.
The trailer, titled "Heroes Can," showcases a snippet of Sombra utilizing her well-known translocator/ultimate combo, but it's the subtle changes that piqued the players' interest.
One noticeable alteration is the appearance of her translocator. Given that the translocator serves as a safety net for Sombra and contributes to the frustration of facing her, it's reasonable to assume that it will undergo changes in the rework. The question on everyone's mind now is: what will these changes entail?
The complete Sombra rework is expected to arrive in "Season 7 and beyond," as disclosed in the Season Roadmap, which also provides insight into the future of PvE in Overwatch 2. Excitement and anticipation build as players eagerly await the unveiling of the revamped Sombra and how she will impact the game's dynamics.
