Shes cool and all but i wonder if she becomes meta one day thanks to buffs or changes, everyones going to hate her and this game forever like they already do with Doomfist.
Honestly the biggest issue playing Sombra at lower ranks is that people just don’t seem to know how to play with her.
You hack a target, nobody knows in lower ranks as less people use voicechat.
You EMP they sit back and admire the light show.
Sugar skulls would be great for helping since it would help anybody shy of using voice get the message across that an enemy is hacked. Like how you can clearly see discord orb.
I was even saying today to my friend that a command button for “about to use my ult” would help so much in lower ranks. Spamming your ult status before using it never seems to be enough. You can’t force everyone into voice so communication through any other means would be hugely helpful on all characters.
Sombra is annoying but her tricks are easy to stop with a little planning ahead and focus fire. Simply putting a mcree next to her most likely hack target messes up her stratedgy right there and it’s not like people don’t already do that when they wanna counter dive.
Can’t tell you how many times I couldn’t dive a Zen or Ana because their Mcree basically body guarded them all game. It’s the same situation for sombra.
Doomfist however can kill in the blink of an eye so I wouldn’t compare him in this situation.
Sombra is showing up be pretty decent in highly coordinated teams, but in order to get similar results on ladder it needs to be more obvious when teammates should coordinate on hacks.
The sugar skull thing has been requested so much and the dev team already has the graphic for it (hacked healthpacks…), I really wish they’d implement it especially since I’m a Sombra main who sometimes solo queues and calling out your hacks in voice comms often isn’t enough – there are too many other people shouting random things too.
