Overwatch 2 Bug Enables Zenyatta to Detect Invisible Sombra

An Overwatch 2 player has stumbled upon a bug allowing Zenyatta to spot Sombra while she is invisible. Bugs have been a recurrent issue in Overwatch 2, impacting gameplay and occasionally prompting hero removals. In this instance, a Reddit user, Twisted_tadpole, shared a video showcasing the bug, revealing that after detaching the Orb of Discord, a cooldown icon appears on Sombra, even when invisible. Additionally, a red outline surrounds Sombra, significantly compromising the damage dealer’s stealth ability.

Zenyatta, a support hero in Overwatch 2, relies on orbs for damage and healing. The Orb of Discord, when placed on an enemy, triggers a seven-second cooldown, visible as a counter on the opponent’s model. This bug diminishes Sombra’s effectiveness by thwarting her primary advantage – invisibility, which allows her to disrupt enemy lines and eliminate Zenyatta. While the bug aids Zenyatta players, it remains to be seen how Blizzard will address the issue, as the game continues to grapple with bugs affecting hero dynamics.
