Overwatch Introduces A New Gravity-Defying Hero, Implements A New Role Queue System
Overwatch patch. Sigma is a tank with the ability to control gravity allowing him to stop incoming projectiles in mid-air, create gravity barriers, and lift enemies into the air before slamming them back down with deadly force.
“Sigma is an eccentric astrophysicist and volatile tank who gained the power to control gravity in an orbital experiment gone wrong. Manipulated by Talon and deployed as a living weapon, Sigma’s presence on the battlefield cannot be ignored.”
The patch also features the new Role Queue system. In the old matchmaking system players queued up for a match before choosing a role. With the new system in place, players first choose a role before they’re matched with a party which effectively solves the problem of having too many DPS heroes in a team with no one wanting to play as a tank. Unfortunately, the new Role Queue isn’t designed to work with Quick Play just yet but should work fine with all other matchmaking modes.
Before you test out the new system, go ahead and check out Sigma in action in the video below. You can also head over to the Overwatch official site for more info.
