How is it irrelevant to bring this up? As you previously stated there are already hundreds of posts saying exactly the same thing so why is pointing out her piss-poor statistics irrelevant?
Next to all of her well documented bugs it’s the best indicator we have of her current in-game state and until we get something better this is what we have.
What would you suggest changing it to? What would make it relevant?
Because statistically worst =/= worst. The issue with Sombra as a hero is that Hack/EMP is too oppressive and boring to play against. It’s hard to balance that…
You can’t balance around something being fun or not fun because it’s all subjective and we shouldn’t be trying to balance around what’s fun and what isn’t.
Additionally we don’t have a good measurement of how strong Hack or EMP is because of the sheer number of bugs that affect Sombra’s kit as a whole.
What? EMP is boring to play against because of how oppressive it is. Out of nowhere your entire team is silenced. Of course you can balance heroes around being fun to play / play against, but not an ability like that.
Honestly, even without the bugs, the changes made it so that Sombra would get less EMPs and hacks than before the buffs. Hack and EMP are the only reasons to play Sombra and with those abilities nerfed she will always be worse than before.
Out of nowhere your entire team can be jumped by an ulting Genji, out of nowhere your team can be hit by Graviton, out of nowhere you’re entire team can be hit with RIP Tyre, the list goes on and on.
Again, if EMP/Hack is so strong and so oppressive then why is no one using her? Why did hardly anyone use her when she had EMP more often and could land Hack easier?
Oh, didn’t realize Genji and Zarya were both capable of going invisible, or the fact that Junkrat’s ult had no sound and didn’t recently get a nerf to its movement speed. Sorry, I missed those patches.
That’s true, but Reinhardt is a buggy mess that has the highest pick rate in the game right now. It kinda shows that people would continue to play any hero if they could get some value or enjoyment from it
