Sombra has been referred to as the Overwatch 2<\/em> roster\u2019s \u201cproblem child\u201d because of how difficult it is for the development team to find a tuning and kit for the hero that fits well with the overall game. <\/p>
But that may change soon with a rework that developer Alec Dawson teased in an interview over the weekend. Speaking with Karq and Eva Langwin during a Twitch broadcast, the Overwatch 2 <\/em>lead hero designer discussed numerous tuning changes the team is looking into, and Sombra changes are among the hot-button topics.<\/p>
With invisibility and \u201chacking\u201d as two of her flagship abilities, playing against Sombra is often a frustrating experience for players, but at the same time, Blizzard has regularly tuned the edgie Mexican hacker in a way that makes her end up underrepresented on the competitive ladder.<\/p>

In March, Dawson referred to Sombra as the roster\u2019s \u201cproblem child<\/a>\u201d in a separate interview. Despite Sombra getting a rework headed into OW2<\/em> that was followed by some more tuning changes, Dawson said that the hero is once again in line for a rework.<\/p>

Based on his statements, one could anticipate that this rework won\u2019t be during the mid-season four balance patch. Instead, players might anticipate something coming sometime in June or later during a new season update like the start of season five<\/a> or six.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
