Just days later, the publisher revealed the new Role Queue system, which will lock teams into specific 2-2-2 lineups.

Last week, Blizzard kicked off the Summer Games 2019 event. It's been a busy couple of weeks for Overwatch. Look for more information on Sigma in the days ahead. Given his propensity for singularities, expect the other Overwatch heroes to have to compete with gravity-based attacks. Beyond his origin story, Blizzard has yet to fully reveal what exactly Sigma can bring to the battlefield. Sigma was originally teased in a strange tweet issued out earlier this weekend, with Overwatch Game Director Jeff Kaplan falling into a black hole. He was eventually freed by Talon and used as a living weapon.

During that tragic experiment Sigma sustained serious psychological damage, deemed a threat to humanity and locked away for years in a secret government facility. The 31st Overwatch hero, Sigma is a kind and brilliant scientist who has been irreparably changed by an experiment gone wrong, gaining the ability to manipulate gravity in the process. It's a villainous old scientist out of the Netherlands named Sigma. But on Monday morning, Blizzard dispatched with the more obtuse, math-based teases and pulled back the curtain on who's next. Sigma is my main tank and I still have a bad habit of doing this sometimes lol.Overwatch has spent the weekend teasing the game's next playable hero. ItвЂ™s very easy to forget and leave it damaged and behind which puts you in a worse spot for the next fight than you otherwise would have been. Lastly, always always remember to recall the shield when a fight is over or there is a pause. SigmaвЂ™s shield is one thatвЂ™s meant to be used in supplement to his shift, not as something to really protect your whole team with unless as a last resort. You should be deploying his shield for brief moments at a time when your shift is on cooldown and recalling it very shortly after deploying to get its health back and repeating in that manner. As for his shield, the trick is to not think of it as a shield like reins. The one exception to this being if you know a roadhog, pharah, etc are gonna ult soon because sigmaвЂ™s shift can shut down those ults by pretty much just eating them.ДЄlso be throwing your rock off cooldown again unless you expect ults soon because itвЂ™s knockdown is very valuable. Pretty much remember to be using his shift to absorb projectiles off of cooldown whenever a firefight is happening in order to keep yourself in the fight with more shields and protect your team. Think of his attacks as little pharah rockets because thatвЂ™s what they essentially are with their AOE. It interrupts hogs taking a breather and does not care about defense matrix or reflect. Practice until you can consistently hit genjis, tracers, reapers, charging reins, leaping winstons. The rock is an amazing tool for anyone that gets too fresh and tries to get out of the magic range and force their way up close. You want the enemy team to complain that the shield is somehow both never up and always up at the worst time. At the magic range you should have plenty of time to see hooks, sleep darts, anti nades, and ults incoming. Learn the rhythm of your opponents most deadly abilities and use that shield to shit on them specifically. You can pop it up and down pretty much non stop, abuse that. Combine that with your kinetic grasp and you will be amazed how little shield you actually need to protect your team.Дon't let your shield break. Don't be afraid to backpedal to keep the magic range. You can adjust that range a bit by bouncing the attack off the ground, but for the most part pushing actually means pushing into the magic range and staying there until they die. Practice with his main attack and learn it's exact range. Sigma has a magic range, right where his main attack explodes. With hog try to pincher attack the enemy and spam them out while comboing hook and rock. With Dva communicate and cycle between grasp and matrix.

With ball hold the Frontline and let him flank. With Orisa help protect her so she can recharge her shield. With rein let him Frontline and take off angles yourself. Never let shield out for too long.ДЄlso you have to learn your role when playing with what tank. Try to bounce orbs to surprise attack enemies. You don't protect your team on sigma often, you create space by hitting people with essentially junkrat grenades and denying important abilities with your shield. Always maintain 20m distance and try to be on high ground at all times. The main mistake people do is playing him close range or on even ground. Since sigma can defend himself with his own barrier and grasp while also having a stun and burst damage he's the best 1v1 hero in the game. So you'll still be stuck with 'off tank main lol' reputation but it's better than hog. Sigma is an off tank with the utility to cover as a main tank til his other tank recovers.
