Do you spycheck when there’s a Sombra on enemy team?
If you don’t know, it means shooting random empty spaces around you to “check” for a cloaked sombra
I’ll do it randomly when I’m playing a low clip hero like Pharah
I’ll do it more with a larger mag hero like Ashe
I’ll do it NONSTOP 360 spinning when I’m on a beam hero like Zarya/sombra/mei
The weird thing though, I always feel nervous when I kill a cloaked sombra, esp on a hitscan, with a pure-luck shot and I didn’t even know she was there
I always feel like she’s gonna tell team and they’ll think I’m hacking or something, so I always type “wtf” or “LOL” when I accidentally oneshot an invis Sombra to express my genuine surprisement and so I don’t look like a cheater

I usually play hanzo against a sombra and just shoot sonics in flank areas

sombras cannot comprehend a lucio winning a 1v1 so they hack and get 180 booped and then I die
Sombra cant help but make noise, so I do not worry until I can hear her.

I do. In fact, I just did that a few minutes ago. Eliminated the Sombra twice. All by myself. I’m very proud of me.

I absolutely love how the term spy checking is used beyond TF2.

When using beam heroes, I sweep before every push incase the enemy Sombra is waiting to pounce.

I do, especially as Brig or D.Va. I don’t catch her very often, but I’m at least facing in a more ideal direction when I’m doing this.

No i don’t. I used to, but it never revealed her. I just wasted time and ammo.
Let moira decloak sombra! The only support that has a viable way to spy check for her is bap and that still iffy. Brings mace only covers half of a sombras range and the other supports only shoot once or slow projectiles.
Yeah, I do this. Especially if the payload is very close to the point. Or if a support is isolated.
well i don’t do that but there are things you can do to keep yourself from being easy to prey to certain heroes
like with widow you just don’t give her line of sight you know where she is bc her shots leave a trail and you know where she could end up being at so you can avoid her
the thing w/ sombra is that playing close to corners or obstacles is really helpful bc she’ll try to hack you and you can go around that corner so it’d break or you can stay on the other side of the obstacle so she’d have a hard time shooting at you!
I main Sombra, but I usually employ a more… unusual playstyle and location camping than most other Sombra players because it gets REALLY predictable how other Sombra players play.
I typically won’t spycheck for Sombra UNLESS I’m not super worried about a fight, in which I’ll spray in some typical flank routes.
Otherwise if I am on Sombra as well, I’ll usually camp her Translocator if I can find it and either destroy it when she decloaks or kill her as she comes back.(50% timer nerf on hacked packs makes a lot of Sombra players stay on the flank too long and their pack loses hack)
No, i just turn my volume up.
She tells you everything she’s doing even when she’s invisible. If she’s just running around cloaked then she’s not really doing anything.

Oh, heck no! My accuracy stat is bad enough and is something I’m working on improving. No way am I going to purposely shoot myself in the foot (figuratively speaking) undoing all my efforts at bringing up my abysmal accuracy stat to a decent, presentable value. I’ve worked too hard on my aim concentration and am not going to just be goaded into bringing it back down by randomly shooting at empty air in all directions thanks to some DPS player on the enemy team who went Sombra thinking it would be funny way to troll me! 
Besides, why does it always have to be me, and not my other teammates? (And what the heck are they even doing??)

Yes, but I also like to stand just slightly out of position and pretend to be distracted to bait her into trying to hack me.
