Overwatch 2 Fans Have Thrown Sombra In Jail

The latest season of Overwatch 2 has brought about some exciting changes, including the addition of a new Stadium mode and the game's 43rd hero, Freja. However, not all heroes are getting a warm welcome from the community. In fact, one particular character has become the target of players' ire - Sombra.

Sombra, the hacking saboteur, was once a fan favorite among Overwatch enthusiasts. Her ability to shut down team-wide setups with a flick of her wrist made her a formidable opponent on the battlefield. But Blizzard's recent rework of the character has changed the game forever. Gone is Sombra's infinite invisibility, replaced by a more nuanced system that requires players to utilize cover more often.

As a self-proclaimed "lapsed Sombra main," I understand why players might be eager to see her banished from competitive play. Her new abilities may have reduced her overall impact on the game, but they also made her a more frustrating opponent for enemy teams. Players who dedicated themselves to mastering Sombra's hacking skills were likely left feeling like they were fighting a losing battle.

And now, thanks to Blizzard's hero ban system, it seems that some players are taking matters into their own hands. Reports have surfaced of Overwatch 2 fans voting to ban Sombra from competitive matches, with many players expressing their displeasure at her presence on the team. It's a peculiar trend, but one that speaks to the passion and dedication of the Overwatch community.

Of course, not everyone is happy about Sombra's banishment. Some players may see her as a nuisance or an annoyance, while others simply miss the thrill of playing a character with such potent abilities. As someone who has dabbled in competitive play myself, I can appreciate the appeal of Sombra - but I also understand why she might be seen as a hindrance to teamplay.

So what's next for Sombra fans like myself? Will we see her return to competitive play once Blizzard addresses some of the issues with her new abilities? Only time will tell. In the meantime, those looking to get back into the game can always fall back on Quick Play - or, if they're feeling nostalgic, try out the new Stadium mode.

As for me, I'm excited to see where this season takes Overwatch 2. With its robust lineup of heroes and new modes like Stadium, there's never been a better time to dive back into the game. And who knows - maybe Sombra will one day be given another chance to shine.

Until then, I'll stick with Freja, the crossbow-wielding hero who has quickly become my new favorite. Her abilities are a refreshing change from Sombra's more aggressive playstyle, and I'm eager to see how she fits into the team. As for Sombra, well... let's just say I won't be shedding any tears if she doesn't make it back to competitive play anytime soon.
