To be fair, she is known for large amounts of damage.
It is why I think “move health pack” support sombra is a good idea.
Yes. 
She got this.

There’s a difference between doing damage when you can and having to completely abandon healing for damage.
And this isn’t like, a good strategy. It’s just a last ditch attempt to save a game and it only works if the other team is really bad.
In the old days, I’d switch to a third DPS with a Sombra.
I’m out to go swimming because heatwave. I’ll be back in the thread later 
- it looks like it will be a good one.
Enjoy. Do a cannonball.
As someone who loves one of the characters everyone hates… I’m actually not all that concerned with something obviously being disliked… just what it would do to gameplay. And Hammond is apparently a problem if you listen to forum chatter right now, just an idle observation from a forum surfer.
when you get back I wanna hear about how this would supposedly work, cause in my head putting a hacked healthpack anywhere you want even for a short amount of time is broken AF.
I mean I don’t care how they make her viable. I just don’t want her to be nothing but a way to throw games without technically violating rules.
And most of this was just QP. Man, I can’t imagine how angry people must get at Sombra in comp.
It’s been more than 3 years. If only OWL and a few top 500 players can make her work (and still say she’s bad), there is a problem, and it’s not the playerbase anymore.

One of the things that’s kinda obvious when you play MH is that people:
- Don’t really know how to play her because well… nobody really plays her
- Spend a LOT of time not actually contributing to the fight but are surviving.
She’s hard to kill because of that translocator giving her an out to an almost guaranteed safe spot so people cycle to her and then just… you’re down 1, 2 or 3 teammates for most of the game.
Not that we should balance around MH by any means, but it does highlight that A LOT of the playerbase has no idea what to do with her.
She literally exposes his head hitbox and shuts down his escape, not to mention she only does 20 DPS less than S76 against large hitboxes within 15 meters. She is the best counter to him.
You mean like Ana’s rifle where it can either go heals or damage depending on who picks it up?
Junkrat waiting on healthpack
(hacks healthpack)
Junkrat dead
I can go with that 
Yeah, exactly. It would remove the healthpack so your teammates couldn’t take advantage and would need SOME indicator its “bad” to the enemy that wasn’t a giant skull so it’d be an actual trap… but yes. Something that would add threat to behind enemy line hacking besides the healthpack denial.
The sad thing is I actually spent a bit of time learning her myself in order to counter Doomfist. I got to the point where I was at least sort of able to carry my weight. Then, they just ruinously nerfed her.
I tried myself too since I try to have at least a working knowledge of almost every character so I can contribute (another reason to play MH a lot) and I also loved the characters aesthetic but I could not for the life of me warrant using her without teammates willing to capitalize on her openings. I get so much more out of other DPS characters in raw damage and pressure per second than I do from the utility she offers, especially with the “no VC no callout” style of most of the people in my ranks.
You’re showcasing your lack of understanding on basic OW counters.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, his mom is great DPS.

The thing with this is even FitzyHere, a T500 Sombra main who has played her since release and had been able to maintain T500 with her, even when she was seen as trash, can’t do it anymore. He even commented about how she is trash. There is a huge problem with this. She never needed to be nerfed in the first place. People just complained about a hero who was barely making it as it was.
I go Sombra to keep ball, doom, genji in check, forcing them to switch off. Not sure what tier of game you are playing at…
It could be, but, I’m not sure it is.
It is a giant PITA to kill anyone sitting on a hacked health pack right now… at least with my accuracy.
Are you suggesting just ONE pack moves or the actual pack spawn?
