Good.
Have you seen these forums?
Itās easy for you to say
, but who will take the responsibility if it turns out how we think, huh?

Maybe now that an OWL player gave their opinion Blizzard will actually change their mind. 
Though, I doubt it.
I like that he brought up:
āYeah, contesting while invis is not that broken. You can see itās being contested, and if you know they have a Sombra, itās not that hard to shoot around and find her.ā
Do people/Blizzard really think itās that hard to uncloak a Sombra with 1 damage, in an open 20x20? area that you know is being contested?

Yeah, so I took a break and played Fallout 3 for a bit.
(But seriously no one wants to even think about an Invisible Off Healer.)
Somebody doesnāt want their main nerfed? How shocking.
Its a bit more then that.
Damage threshold isnt applied alot. Must be some balance issue. I think Stealth should be not cancelled but you are revealed and only running is stable when you are hit

Iāll repeat what I posted in the PTR forums (feel free to provide a rebuttal):
Personally, (and Iām speaking from the view Iāve stated that she needs buffs in combat and not outside of it) I view the changes to be ultimately useless and counter-intuitive.
If I had my way, Iād convert 25 of her health into shields, make her hack and stealth uninterruptible while she has shields (normal detect for stealth would still apply), increase her rate of fire by maybe 5%ish, and give a damage bonus of maybe 10-20% against targets impacted by opportunist.
Imo, that would make her abilities more reliable within the players control, allow counterplay, and increase her damage output against her supposed intended targets to bring her output capabilities closer in line with the standard damage expectations.
Of course, this could have an exponential effect on higher tiers, I dunno, those are just my thoughts (keeping in mind my internet connection is horrible and Iām merely a bronze player with a knack for insight).
oh and the bug fixes of course

Oh good lord.
Carolina Ravassa is awful at this game and I donāt even care. I would listen to her all day long.

You missed the fact that he also confirmed that the nerfs were at the request of the pros.
Iām guessing they went this route because the bugs cannot be fixed and they donāt want to reinstate the workarounds. They nerfed the EMP justifying it by putting more power into hack and gun, then the workarounds to known bugs got removed to satisfy the complaints, which then turned hack into an RNG mess. They canāt fix hack because of an issue with the game engine, and they have a policy that keeps them from putting back the quick fix, so they decided to move power away from hack and into stealth instead.
Two different playstyle overhauls, each doing a 180 on the previous, Sombra apparently has no direction.

nobody will play nerfed brigitte, just no reason when you have zenyatta
Pretty funny how he complains about how slow the hero is to play and how Sombra is nigh unplayable with 3 supports on the enemy team healing his hacked targets, despite all the video clips showing him and his team deleting almost every hacked target and most of the matches only having 2 supports, not to mention the fast paced repositioning and target acquisition Danteh is displaying. Talk about a strawman.
Danteh is 100% right, this new Sombra is awful, the nerfs need to be reverted

Yeah because being able to contest with INFINITE stealth isnāt OP
i donāt know if you noticed, but thereās giant, bolded text saying āCONTESTEDā when somebody is on the point. Considering stealth has no damage threshold, it isnāt that hard to wildly shoot around, decloak her, and kill her.

Id say make her a non-healer support. Make her utility really shine on buffing and debuffing. Make her have different hacks, that do different stuff(changeble with interact key or the change weapon key, maybe), like making the target deal less damage, have temporary ability steal, or make the targets defense go up, or make the keys all jumbled up.
Really. There are THOUSANDS of ways one could design her. This may be not the best, but its something better than on ptr.

AT least one of them, ironically the only Sombra main in OWL could admit it. They ruined her.
And theyāre the reason why we have this one on PTR. Itās a terrible joke.

Itās not really infinite if the damage threshold is mere decimal points. Sombra canāt juke bullets forever on the point if she contests, which you KNOW sheāll be doing if you pay attention to the UI at all. Thereās not many places on any objective a Sombra can hide. . .
Try using your gun.

Not to mention that with the 4m detection radius, thereās almost no way you wouldnāt find her after a couple seconds of actively looking anyway.
