Play it on: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, Windows (Steam Deck YMMV)
Current goal: Convince myself I like Sombra’s rework

Sombra, one of my main heroes in Overwatch 2, has undergone an extensive rework…you may have seen me share my feelings on it elsewhere.

Gone is the hit-and-run build that let her retreat from a fight by teleporting across the map. Now Sombra can teleport only a limited distance, and it’s much easier for enemies to track her. Sure, her opponents love this, but having been a dedicated hacker-fan for years, her new style has been a very painful adjustment for me.

But even if I can’t translocate across the map, it does feel pretty damn good when I do manage to make a quick escape and cloak just in time for enemies to miss me. The damage stack she gets from her Hack and Virus combo bleeds enemies dry pretty quick. I miss the old Sombra, but maybe I can still play one of my favorite Overwatch characters in a new way. — Kenneth Shephard
