Honedtly she is not that annoying vs good team. She is situational. But not strong.
Those who have problem with her have just a skill issue.

Skill issue and own it
She ruins the game for me
Throw ALL games with Sombra and enjoyment goes up 100%

I lack the skill to find Sombra interesting to play against.

Don’t throw games. That’s just a duck move.

Yeah, promoting toxic gameplay, nothing wrong with that.
Sure…
“Guys please, the hero whose design makes her a nightmare at low and mid levels is perrrfectly fine at high levels where she is practically an EMP and Hack bot. Great design Blizzard please more!”

She is easy to counter. That doesn’t take away from the fact she’s obnoxious and unfun to play against (just like widow)

This is garbage behavior. You throwing ruins the game for 9 other people. You aren’t cute encouraging this garbage. Grow up.

You’re mostly correct. but not having a good team is not a skill issue.
So all we need to deal with Sombra’s stupid design in quick play is a group of 5 random players who have never played together before willing to coordinate, communicate and peel for each other.
Sounds like a seamless plan. Thank you my man. Who would have guessed it.
Of course. Little Timmy can’t turn around when Sombra decloaks because he’s playing without headphones or watching TikTok, but that’s a skill issue on my part. Yeah. Because baguette.

I wouldn’t do it, but I can’t deny that it would be more fun.
Or maybe the perma invis hero who can pick whenever she feels like starting an engagement with no actual engaging input that you can perform against her, while also having the ability to turn off abilities in an ability based game… just isn’t fun to play against and has been a god awful hero design for the 8 years she’s existed.

I play her sometimes. She’s about right. When in QP against less skilled players, they get destroyed. It’s an awareness issue. Hanzo is helpful against her.
Sombra has become the new bastion lol, it’s 2024 and OW is as wild as ever 
I think so many people want to think coordination of a pro level is needed. You don’t need coordination you just need consideration. If you hear hack be considerate and peel. Nobody said you need serious communication to counter the hero.

I agree. Instead of being childish I report every sombra under griefing, because she is exactly how I would design a hero in a game I hacked to grief other players. In fact, if you watch admins on games like Rust, they create a character that is invisible.
So don’t throw against her, that is childish, just report every sombra for griefing.

But again that relies on every teammate being as aware as you and in overwatch that’s extremely unlikely. As an Ana main i’m tuned in to Sombra’s so react quickly, but the amount of times she decloaks right next to a teammate and they are oblivious is insane.
True. But if they’re not, that’s not a game design issue that’s a player issue. Mistakes are how games are lost/won. Saying heroes need changes because my team makes mistakes isn’t too fair.
Fixed that for you, only the team with the thrower/leaver is negatively impacted, the other team will just get to play.
