The Overwatch 2 Season 13 patch notes are here, and while it’s a quiet season for most Heroes in the multiplayer game, Blizzard has, once more, reworked how Sombra’s kit works. Whether it’s a nerf or a buff depends on who you’re asking, though. The current consensus is split between thinking it’ll make Sombra a more balanced character who can’t just slip away from any danger and those – like me – who regret seeing Sombra be reduced to another flank-style unit. We have Tracer for that, Blizzard.
The Season 13 patch notes are also full of tweaks to maps, mostly changes designed to stop people from camping out at spawn points or extra cover and, in Mumbani’s case, the removal of a particularly bothersome tree.
Also included is a reminder that Overwatch 2’s Halloween event is live now, and the My Hero Academia crossover goes up soon.
