I would say that Sigma kinda is a mix between old symetra, Reinhardt, zenyatta, Doomfist and Moira. Let me explain.
Old Symetra’s moveable barrier
Reinhardt’s Tanky-ness and where he deploye he’s shield
Zenyatta’s floating and he’s Orb
Moira’s sientist kind of look and Moira has orbs that you see her holding before she throws them out similarly to how Sigma holds his orbs
Doomfist: He’s meteor strike is very similar to Sigma’s ult but the difference between them is that Sigma lift up the enemies and slam them down and Doomfist just do direct damage
Note. I’m not complaining I am just curious why blizzard decided to make him in the way that they did
First one I’ll grant you, it’s like the 2.0 version.
The rest, no. He’s got Zarya health, but less shields, and his temp shields are tricky to use and on a massive CD, he floats in a completely different way, and not all orbs react the same lol. His go round corners for one…
I feel like people just want to whine about un-originality without even thinking about it lol. Plus, have you ever designed a hero in this game? It’s harder than it looks.

Yes, and OW started as copy of TF2 so who cares ? It cannot be easy to create new hereos.
The more the will add heroes, the more you’ll see similarities unless they keep creating new gimmicks and mechanics.
Ironically its by creating more heroes with or without similar abilities that the game will be easier to balance.
Well blizzard has more or less said this is how they work… they may rework character if they think abilities don’t work well for them then add them to new hero’s later…
further more Sigmas kid was originally mostly planned for Mauga but that plan got changed…
maybe since moira got reverted not be able to evade stun they might add that to a new hero later on…
