Realistically, total mayhem is a game mode enjoyed by most people in the game and allows for people to play heroes they dont usually play and have fun spamming out abilities. Sombra is the antithesis of this. She ruins the entire gamemode for everyone with the frequency of her hacks and prevents anyone from having a good time. I think banning her as a hero to play during total mayhem would solve this as the gamemode was function as intended, people being able to spam out abilities and have fun. Having sombra as an option just removes the fun factor as you cant spam said abilities and enjoy yourself.
Although this is just my opinion, id love to hear what others think and what alternatives there could be rather than a complete ban.
While I agree to a point she is also a nessecary evil.
Or else you have things like unlimited shields Zarya which can also be frustrating to play against.
They could always do what they did with Ana’s sledp dart where it’s still on a shorter cooldown but she can’t have someone hacked forever, because realistically you can’t break every single hack every single time
No, that is mystery heroes. If TM was the most liked, it would be the permanent one on the arcade. It is by far one of the most disliked outside of mystery modes outside of MH.
If not for Sombra, heroes like Doomfist, Zarya, Mei, and Roadhog would be unstoppable. Like it or not, she’s necessary for Total Mayhem to be playable.
Come on, it’s a game mode where Winston is flying around not even touching the ground, Tracer blinks at will with 300hp, Orisa fires out barriers with the speed of a vulcan, and Doom doesn’t need to worry about cooldowns.
The game was designed with the normal stats that we have now, not the 75% less cooldown, so since the cooldowns are much lower, there are gonna be some heroes that are broken.
Take Doomfist for an example. He can practically 1v6, and it’s hilarious.
Have you seen Doomfist in total mayhem? or Mei? Without her those two pretty much go unchecked as one can continually regenerate shields and not require healing while the other can point stall till the end of time.
Both teams had sombras at 10 minutes, at 15 i decided to record. It ended at 20 when the other team gave up. 20 minutes and it only got to the second corner
I get 2 kinds of games in Mayhem when I play Sombra:
I absolutely dominate and I’m constantly hacking the enemy, to the point they can’t do anything.
I get creamed and I barely get to hack anything, constantly being interrupted.
Wanna know the difference? In scenario 1, the enemy is all but ignoring me. I basically get free reign to hack them to the moon and back. In scenario 2, either they have a Winston or they’re aware that I’m flanking and trying to hack and they focus me hardcore.
Focus. The. Sombra. It’s not that hard. She’s easier to deal with than Doomfist, who’s a walking stunbot. (Doom is actually the reason I play her.)
I used to love Mayhem. Just insta-lock Junkrat and go mine crazy. I would just be laughing none stop as the infinite overtime went ever onwards. Even with Sombra, it wasn’t too bad. But Sombra and Doomfist? I never went back after running into that.
I know the mode isn’t supposed to be balanced, but I don’t know how anyone can stand those 2 together.
