Blizzard has now outlined the reworks coming for Bastion and Sombra with Overwatch 2, adding that Sombra’s rework involves “important changes.”Sombra’s rework features “important changes that can dramatically affect the way she’s played,” explains lead hero designer Geoff Goodman. The devs have outlined the changes in more detail over on the Overwatch 2 Twitter page, but it seems the biggest changes for Sombra is the reduction of the cooldown time for her Hack ability, a new effect that lets Sombra’s team see Hack targets through walls, and a change to her passive ability so that she can deal 50% more damage to hacked targets. On top of this, the devs add that using Hack won’t remove stealth, but that Sombra will be briefly visible while hacking.Bastion, meanwhile, is getting a “big rework for Overwatch 2, and the team is really excited about his changes.” These include the removal of his self-repair ability and a new ability, where he can fire projectiles that stick to players and floors while bouncing off walls. Instead of Tank mode, he’ll have Artillery mode, which lets him call down a strike on three areas of the map, and he’ll be able to move at a reduced speed while in Sentry. He’ll also have a more modernised appearance and a new hat to “help him stand out.” What do you think of these reworks for Overwatch 2? Let us know in the comments!
