Overwatch 2 Season 7 Unveils Sombra’s Rework Success, Teases Roadhog’s Overhaul, and Promises Support Hero Adjustments

Overwatch 2 Season 7 brings various updates, including the long-awaited rework for DPS hacker Sombra, addressing concerns about her indefinite invisibility. The rework adds constraints to her Translocator, triggering an automatic teleport after being thrown, and introduces a Virus projectile for additional damage when combined with her Hack ability.

In the Director’s Take blog post, Overwatch 2 Director Aaron Keller acknowledged the success of the Halloween-themed co-op modes and provided insights into Roadhog’s upcoming rework. While the rework won’t be ready for the mid-season patch, it’s anticipated before the end of Season 7. Changes to Roadhog’s shotgun primary fire and healing ability, Take a Breather, are expected. The most intriguing aspect is the introduction of a new ability for Roadhog, adding complexity to his kit while retaining the iconic chain hook.

Keller also addressed support heroes, expressing the team’s intent to enhance their survivability, recognizing concerns about their vulnerability. Specific changes to individual heroes or the health-regenerating passive are anticipated to ensure a more balanced gameplay experience for support players.

As BlizzCon approaches, Overwatch 2 fans can anticipate further details on Roadhog’s rework, support hero adjustments, and the exciting reveal of a new Tank hero for Overwatch 2.
