A shoutout to my favorite people

Just want to give a big thanks to my current favorite people in game. The random duo who instant locks Main Tank-Support or Support-Support in QPC every match.

I totally get you are doing it in QPC because you like winning, and having those roles in this mode is a huge leg up on the other team, so I’m not saying you’re selfless or anything.

But as one of the “selfish” people who are playing QPC so I can dodge 15 minute queue times(plus rematches are fun too), you guys give the mode some stability and help keep it from just turning into death match every game.

So a huge thanks from this Sombra main. I’ll continue picking you up from spawn, making packs for you, comboing EMP so you can get PotG, and peeling relentlessly as a small token of my appreciation.

You guys are awesome and let me OT my favorite character without spending 75% of my time waiting on matches.

Thanks!

glad you enjoy qp classic

this is by far my favorite game mode at this time

I will as a support main say, tho - and not apologetically, just matter-of-fact-ly - Sombra is very hard to support.

Many support actions give her position away, what few times she is even close enough to be healed

I wish there was a solid way to support her

New QP lost a ton of it’s charm with rolelock.

I completely get why they made every match go back to queue, but stumbling into a good lobby and battling back and forth for 5-6 quicker “rematches” was some of the most fun this game had for someone who usually solo queues. Kinda sucks that only can happen in QPC now.

Honestly, some of us legitimately enjoy tank/support and just hate roleq that much.

On the bright side, she doesn’t need that much, and can easily get to a more supportable position when she does.

I’ve also seen some gutsy Mercies (Mercys?) take advantage of my approach paths to fly across and damage boost me when I unstealth. It almost feels cheap letting Sombra kill stuff quickly, especially since the Mercy flying by draws everyone’s attention away long enough to pick off a healer.

Not to say that’s easy, either, of course. You have to trust teammates to give you a way back out afterward.

I do it for boxes and I miss Classic sometimes.

I don’t even like the dps role that much at this point, Sigma’s more fun.

All the supports I play have guns so I just make sure to shoot her Hacked targets.

I completely agree. Like sure, I love heals during a hectic fight as much as anyone. Lets me stick around and land that second or third hack. And I LOVE Discord, makes her tickle gun just melt through stuff. Repair Pack when she destealths is also fantastic.

But honestly, the best support a good Sombra needs is just keeping those other 4 alive. If the team has a solid base that can’t be ignored I get way more freedom to roam and harass. If the team is dying quick, suddenly red team can turn around and spend more time hunting me down in the back.
