Excatly they took away the power from her EMP then put it in her hack but that was annoying so they’ve nerfed and bugged it. Now how about you put the power in her gun so she can be a DPS like she should have been after the rework.
which pro cried?

The main point you missed is ease of use. Hanzo is so derpy that most people jerking their mouse or moving their analogs randomly can hit 3/6 Storm bow shots. Sombra requires intricate understanding of literally everything going on in the game.
Nothing in her kit fundamentally changed though, just some “better” numbers. There was nothing new to learn.
Again, as they improved, her stats would have improved, and more players would have cottoned on. That didn’t happen, the opposite did and people learned how to deal with her, so she got worse.
why do you get sad as playing as rein. He’s still fun in my opinion.

Gonna shamelessly link a list of Sombra’s bugs and their various examples, which is part of the reason why she’s in such a bad spot. A list of Sombra's Many, Many Bugs (6), Now with more LOS Bugs! - #80 by Xaron-1831

This would be nice - as it stands she sort of a poor man’s Tracer in many ways.
Oh please leave.
There’s nobody that would agree that Sombra is being treated fairly.
One of the biggest and most unprecidented changes wasn’t put on the PTR. The big change put all of her power into her hack, then bugged out her hack. The PTR wasn’t even used for it’s intended purpose of bug testing.
Please don’t talk if you don’t know what you’re talking about.

That does not make sense. Just because they didnt took that option, doesnt mean it isnt there.
To be fair, there were plenty of non pros who were complaining about Sombra. Like, a good portion of the community. But you need somebody to blame, right?

When will Sombra finally get the fixes she needs?
Pretty much sums up Overwatch as a whole these days. Wahh supports are having fun nerf, wahh Sombra hacked me nerf. Meanwhile in the land of Genji uh…slight decrease to deflect cool that took how long?

She got better in high end play and got worse elsewhere. Only in GM did her win rate go up since the rework. Her pick rate before was abysmal and her current pick rate is still abysmal. Sub diamond she still has both the lowest pick rate and win rate last I checked.
You get less emps now and thus they are more precious. Before in lower elo if an emp didnt get follow up no big deal you could get another one by people using your hacked recharge stations. Now hacking health packs is practically pointless. Now you get to mine emp again and chances are if you were getting things done (which is hard with brigitte armor) they will probably just swap to hanzo if they havent already.
A good portion of sombras problem is hanzo. He is really oppressive across the ladder. Dont give me he is a high skill floor hero. His skill floor dropped faster than a hooker’s panties with his rework. Whereas sombras skill floor went up post rework

No, her win rates barely changed in GM, and her pick rates, while more exaggerated than other ranks mirrored the exact same big peak followed by a very rapid drop.
People got used to dealing with her there as well as they did everywhere.
Right now she enjoys a 0.27% pick rate in GM.
Dante posted another useful tweet about the devs stupidity to nerf anything these stupid forums want
https://twitter.com/Danteh/status/1009565995504058368Like Tracer was totally balanced in pro play. Right?
Its not like he moved on to Tracer after they destroyed Sombra and is now Salty that Tracer doesnt have as much solo carry potential anymore.

They did keep in an I on her just a big I the covers the list of her problems and possible fixes.
No one on forums or at lower ranks felt Tracer’s ult killing tanks was a problem. I have no idea where that came from, I’ve never seen that as an issue raised in a full 2 years on these or the eu forums.
Except it was true? Multiple streamers leaked that the pros were unhappy with Sombra, and they kept asking for nerfs.
They’re literally the reason why she got nerfed.
