Разработчики Overwatch 2 опубликовали новую статью из серии «Еженедельный сбор», в которой регулярно делятся разной информацией о своих подходах к работе над игрой, успехах и неудачах, новинках и прочих волнующих их и игроков моментах. В свежей заметке авторы поделились подробностями о новых подкатегориях ролей, которые появились в 1 сезоне «Правления Когтя». Weekly Recall: Sub-Role Call! Have you found yourself bewildered by Emre’s charming voice lines, trying to figure out how he deleted you? Are you more easily distracted by a laser pointer than Jetpack Cat? Same.
We don’t blame you! With five new kits to learn and one of them being a flying cat, there was plenty to enjoy (and potentially miss) during Spotlight and the Season 1: Conquest release. But tucked inside all the new hotness is a big gameplay shift: Hero Sub-Roles. They might be passive but they won’t be quiet, and they’re critical for both casual and high-level competition.
The old “one passive fits all” system is gone. In its place, each role has split into focused Sub-Roles, with every Hero assigned one to match their playstyle. It’s a sharper definition of who Heroes are and what they bring to the fight.
Flankers flank better, bruisers brawl harder, tacticians get more tactical...you get the idea. Sub-Roles are meant to grow with Overwatch and with you, just like everything else. We won’t just set-it-and-forget-it, as we’ll be watching closely to tune as needed.
