i got the world record for the fastest forum reply
As someone else suggested, Blizz should just have turrets ignore her perma-invisibility so that she actually has to worry about something other than random weapon fire and infrasight.
Lol no suprise. It was MauveEllek. I havent opened a single thread this week that they werent there with an anti sombra comment no matter what the topic was. They are truly on a crusade atm.

the ability lockout is not why people hate her, it’s her ability to appear out of thin air and gank you in 2 seconds and get out for free 99% of the time.
ironically she’s really not that bad to tanks anymore unless paired with some other hero that abuses you like Mei, Cass or Orisa.
She’s hell to any moderately squishy support though. Zen, Widow, Juno, Ashe, etc. Killing a DPS once as one of these heroes gives a 95% chance they’ll go Sombra and dedicate the rest of the game to abusing you until you swap.

Sure. Just lower Widow to 150hp.
Well not really.
But Sombra is basically the dedicated
- “Keep Widow, Ball and Doom in check” hero.
They can lower Sombra, but they would also need to lower those heroes.
It is for Tank players.
On threads that aren’t even close to pertaining to Sombra
I said the same thing with the countless Brig posts when she first came out.
Here we are, months later, and there are always Sombra topics/complaints. Maybe she truly is broken??
Does she have “This is too frustrating to play against” issues?
Sure.
Does she have “Her tierlist position is too high!” issues?
No. Or maybe a little bit lower.
If a hero has been a hot topic for months, MONTHS, there is clearly an issue.
Just like disc priests in WoW: Another creation Blizz cannot balance. Too powerful or too weak. 100% case with Sombra.
Well yeah.
It’s just a Qualitative Issue, not a Quantitative Issue.
I.e. It’s a Counterplay Feel Issue, not a Tierlisting Issue
The main roadblock to Sombra lethality nerfs, is that it needs to be easier to kill Widow, to justify that.
Since Sombra is benchmarked against killing Widow.
And here’s some ways to do that.
Which would you prefer?
OPTION A:
WIDOWMAKER
Grappling Hook
- While using Grapple, if Widowmaker takes 1 point of damage, the Grapple breaks, and loses all momentum
- Grapple no longer gains instant momentum horizontally.
- Cooldown Reduced from 12 to 7 seconds
OPTION B:
WIDOWMAKER
Passive: Widow’s Curse
- All healing reduced by 50%.
- This includes healing from teammates, regeneration passive, and health packs
Grappling Hook
- Cooldown reduced from 12 to 10 seconds.
