Overwatch 2 devs have confirmed that changes to Sombra are on the way, however fans of the hero might have to wait longer than they had hoped in order to see her restored back to her former glory.
While Overwatch 2 is swarmed with new content at the moment with the new Battle for Olympus event and much more, the game is still suffering from its fair share of problems.
Most recently, Overwatch 2 has been suffering from major balancing issues. Despite the dev team promising to address and fix these changes, the Overwatch community has been calling on Blizzard to get on top of this issue sooner rather than later.
One hero that has been highlighted more than others is Sombra, with players voicing their concerns online about how much the character has been nerfed since the original Overwatch game.
Actively working on some changes for Sombra, but won't be for Season 3. Hopefully have more to share soon!
