The highly anticipated competitive role queue beta has finally made its way to Overwatch on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, along with hero 31, Sigma.
Sigma is the game’s newest addition to the tank line-up, who uses gravity manipulating abilities to deal a fair amount of damage, while protecting himself and his team with the use of barriers.
He’s also available to play as of right now in competitive matches, unlike previously added heroes who usually go live in competitive after a week of being available in game. Though, this is likely due to the fact that the current season of competitive is in beta to test out the shiny new role queue system.

When the update first launched last night, Quick Play had changed to a strange hybrid version of role queue – rather than choosing a role before queuing for a match, all roles were available when getting to the hero select screen, only locking you into playing a role after selecting a character.
