Overwatch 2’s lead hero designer Alec Dawson lastly addressed one of many largest burning questions that followers have about upcoming hero stability modifications coming to the sport in season seven—what to do with Sombra?
In a blog post on the official Overwatch 2 website today, Dawson addressed the upcoming Sombra modifications and gave gamers probably the most element we’ve seen up to now regarding her rework. The Overwatch workforce will likely be pushing Sombra right into a “extra committal” function when partaking enemies or a workforce struggle, which might trace at a nerf to Stealth’s cooldown.
The workforce additionally plans on making the hero really feel like she’s having a extra lively function in a match, versus her present hit-and-run tactic her package is forcing gamers to make use of in an effort to be efficient. Dawson says the workforce is attempting to realize these objectives whereas “upholding her present hacker id and playstyle.”
It’s unclear precisely what “extra committal” means. One would anticipate that it implies that Sombra’s Stealth and Translocator will likely be tweaked in order that Sombra gamers can’t simply stealth in and teleport out repeatedly in that annoying style—as they have a tendency to do.
The Mexican hacker all the time appears to be a scorching matter so far as stability is worried, and it is smart. She’s the one stealth hero within the sport, and her hacking potential may be infuriating to play towards at instances.
Dawson, on report, has referred to as Sombra the roster’s “problem child,” and since then, the devs confirmed a rework on her package was coming in season seven, which begins this October. Nonetheless, till now, nobody has given gamers a lot in the way in which of particulars relating to the upcoming tuning.
We’ll be taught extra within the coming weeks when Dawson guarantees to present a deeper dive into no less than one new potential that’s coming to her package, however till then the overall ambiguity of Dawson’s notes on Sombra right this moment leaves extra questions than solutions about what’s coming for the sneaky Talon member.
This isn’t the primary time a dev has mentioned that they plan on preserving Sombra’s “hacker” id, and particularly when studying in regards to the “lively really feel all through her package,” it’s tough to inform precisely what Blizzard is planning on doing when this rework goes stay in a number of weeks.
