3000 credits, wasted

General Discussion

You’re making a fool of yourself. The developers implemented this change on the PTR because they believe this would make her stronger. However, they are interviewing some of the high rank Sombra players because they want feedback; they want to get a better idea of how to make her more viable or more powerful. The only problem is that you don’t have any hours on this character, and yet you are acting like you know better about what role fits the character in the game than those who have hundreds/thousands of hours on her(this includes the high rankers they interviewed). You people are the only ones saying “spying/scouting is her primary role”.

Based on the posts you made on this thread, you even ignored what the high-rank Sombra players are saying. All you did was come up with this awful “scouting” argument; you’re not actually proving anything.

It’s truly hard to comprehend…

  • how some people have no hours on a character, yet they want to sit and argue with those who have tons of hours on that character
  • why some people are lying about having lots of hours on Sombra.

No, I am not “making a fool of myself”, I am making kind of a fool out of you really. Look, I’m not the one who came up with this “scouting” thing. Here, let’s see what the PTR notes say…

Developer Comments: These changes allow Sombra to more easily play as an infiltrator and scout for her team, as well as give her time to pick and choose when to reveal herself to ambush her enemies.

Now, you are trying to tell me yet again that you know better what their vision for this character is?

Furthermore, you seriously think that these changes are aimed at Sombra mains who simply want more power and not the 99.33% of the playerbase who isnt playing Sombra?

I hate to have to be the bearer of the patently obvious, but here we go:

The aim of the changes is to increase the overall pick rate of Sombra

In doing so, the experts in why people are “not picking Sombra” are not those who regularly pick Sombra, you are as far from the target demographic as one could possibly arrive. You have made the choice to accept her, embrace her, and maximize her. You are as far from an expert in “why people dont play Sombra” as one could possibly get, and your echo chamber is a large group of people who have literally no expertise in the topic of “Not playing Sombra”.

The top reasons people hate playing Sombra are precisely the two things that are being changed. People dislike the undue artificial stress that a 5 second invis window creates, and people disliked their primary escape tool being so volatile and clumsy to dispatch and use.

Your amazingly astute example of a response “no one who already plays Sombra is asking for those changes”. How does it possibly not dawn on you that those already playing Sombra have zero insight of any kind into why people who REFUSE to play her do so, or how what you perceive to be as perfectly acceptable is among the primary reasons for her pick rate?

Then you tell me that I am the confused one? Haha

Well you’re not making a fool of me at all either. You honestly think this change is going to increase her pick rate; that’s debatable. I know they want to lower her skill floor, but I’m sure people would go back to their own different mains since her skill ceiling will not be high enough.

So I can still say you’re confused buddy. :smile:

I keep hearing about adapting to a new playstyle but what is her new playstyle? Can you give me some tips? I wanna learn!!! :smile:

Fyi I bought this skin before they implemented these changes on PTR.

I don’t want those 3000 credits back. I just want them to give her proper buffs. I’d much rather them implement changes that would not make me feel like not playing her anymore, than get those 3000 credits back.
