Coming up with counters to Sombra in Overwatch 2 became particularly important after her rework in October 2023. These changes aimed to make her kit more active and force her to commit to the fights she was adept at starting. This was a direct response to the biggest criticism Sombra faced. Before the rework, her Translocator ability was a get-out-of-jail-free card that could instantly teleport her to safety. While this is still a crucial part of her kit, Stealth is now just as important to consider when coming up with a counter to Sombra in Overwatch 2.
