TheGamer • • technology
Key Points:
- Blizzard announced major reworks for Overwatch heroes Sombra and Roadhog, set to debut in Season 5 on October 6 during BlizzCon 2026.
- Sombra is transitioning from a DPS (damage per second) role to a Support hero, focusing on aiding teammates rather than dealing damage and reconnaissance.
- This marks a significant shift for Sombra, who has undergone frequent redesigns, with her last major rework occurring in October 2024.
- Roadhog's rework aims to emphasize his role as a team-oriented Tank, enhancing his supportive capabilities while maintaining his distinct personality.
- Both reworks represent Blizzard's effort to redefine hero roles and identities to improve team dynamics and gameplay variety.
