Overwatch 2 Fans Outraged as Sombra's Stealth Cooldown Soars to 999 Seconds in Season 13 Rework
  • In Season 13 of Overwatch 2, Sombra underwent a significant rework, regaining her Opportunist passive while also facing nerfs to her other abilities such as Hack, EMP, and Translocator.

  • One of the most controversial changes is the increase in Sombra's Stealth ability cooldown to 999 seconds, effectively rendering it nearly unusable in standard matches.

  • As a result, players would need to rely on their teammates to maintain an overtime situation for several minutes just to activate Stealth, which is impractical.

  • However, players can still access Sombra's Stealth in Custom game modes by setting the Ability Cooldown to 0%.

  • The developers may have opted to retain the ability in the game to allow for easier adjustments or reversions down the line.

  • This rework has been met with discontent among fans, who believe it has diminished Sombra's unique identity as a damage hero.

  • This cooldown increase likely simplifies programming rather than completely eliminating the ability, suggesting a potential for future adjustments.
