Sombra can hack enemies to disable their abilities as well as teleport and turn invisible for a short amount of time. She's built for stealth offensive support, with those advantages offset by low health and weak damage output.
Along with Sombra, the new Arcade is taking the place of Weekly Brawls and introducing brand new ways to play, including 1v1 Mystery Duels, 3v3 skirmishes and a No Limits mode with no hero limit (essentially replacing the old format of Quick Play, which will now have hero limits in the same vein as Competitive).
