Just stop posting about nerfs/buffs and live with the ever realization that Sombra is Ana tier now.
We all quad tank hamster ball teleporter now.

Also youâre super loud when detected while invis; youâre supposed to be a stealth character. Honestly, keep the 5 hp on translocator with the ability to destroy it and remove the rest,imo. that way she gets a QOL buff along with some bug fixes (though Iâm still not clear which ones since the patch notes donât show much of them)
We donât want infinite invis and translocator, and the tradeoff in order to allow for it isnât worth it; yes, it lowers the skillfloor - it makes it easier to find opportunity, but itâs a hard nerf to higher skill play.

Sheâs always been below ana tier. Her pcik rate and win rate have almost always been lower! Heck, sheâs even lower than bastion tier, and Mei after the power creep, before her nice little buffs (hooray sniper mei - more skill play 
)

The downsides adversely affect higher skilled play while making lower skilled play incredibly easyâŠsheâs a 3-star hero for a reason. Theyâre not just what we didnât want; theyâre a huge net nerf in the end.
âWait, Sombra, Look out!!! Your stepping in the zone of Hanzoâs sonic arrows. The enemy can see you! Oh wait, âŠyour notâŠâ

are you speaking English? I cant decipher what you are trying to say. Devs do know much more than you about sombra. they have stats and numbers you could never see.
I never played Sombra on live, I played 1 game with her on ptr and went 18-2 with a 15 kill streak, my translocator wasnât destroyed once, because I hid it, lol.
I mean, of course pros and her mains have much to say about it, but as someone who never plays Sombra, Iâm having lots of fun with these changes.
I even considered maining her.
But, you know, just one plat scrubs opinion.

Stopped hoping for âA better Sombraâ after morons started to complain about her hack.
I really despise Blizzard for their âchoicesâ on Sombra, as it does ruin the characterâs playstyle heavily.
Luckily I still have Doomfist- until morons complain again.
Luckily I still have Brigitte- until morons complain again.
Luckily I still have Lucio- because morons never complain about him.
I canât respect the balance decisions Blizzardâs made in the last 2 months, as itâs made me question whether or not to stay with the game- and if it wasnât for my friends, I donât think I would stay much longer.

Wrecking ball is gonna ruin Reinhardt for me. Ive seen multiple people on the ptr smash through a choke point, sym can bypass them entirely. If rein cant fight at the choke he really cant fight anywhere. Least soldier got a buff, guess iâll be play him but oh wait mccree got a buff and he already counters soldier⊠guess im screwed.
Itâs incredibly nuts how OUT OF TOUCH the DEV team is.

If having infinite stealth is a nerf and the ability of âfreeâ flank then i dont know what these people want.
Sombra will be a total ANNOYING-PEST when this changes go live, imagine a character can FLANK-OVER-OVER and OVER with zero risk of death? and we still having people complaining about that is HILARIOUS honestly

have you ever tried playing sombra currently. the likely hood of you actually using stealth in the middle of a fight is about as good as you taking roadhog in a 1 vs 1.
Her translocator was the only reliable part of the kit left and now it makes more noise then symâs old shield generator so finding it isnt an issue for the enemy and it has a whooping 5 hp to stay alive with. Random splash damage can kill it.

No but as a Sombra enthusiast I DO know what makes her fun.
But not the experience.
I played a few rounds as the new Sombra, she is objectively better on large open maps where chokes are not the issue. Getting past spammy chokes is now a little harder but the 4 meter distance is really not that far.
She is definitely able to do more for her team on the large open maps, making callouts about enemy positions, etc. She definitely gets to pick where she fights and if you coordinate with a friend then she is getting a pick and out safely.
The one problem Iâve had is that previously the cooldowns dictated flow, you often took fights you didnât want to take because youâd been out so long that TL or stealth was about to expire - Now, you stand there watching for a weakness and strike at more critical moments, you end up with less ult charge because youâve been more reserved, little bit of win the battle lose the war.
She feels more strategic but less impactful during the time she is âscoutingâ.
Iâd say her ability to secure kills has gone up but as a result she outputs less damage per kill and if her team make a mistake her impact is not exactly enough to recover compared to tracer/genji.
I think the changes for infinite duration are good for her, destructible TL is an acceptable trade but again she is trading power. She gets more strength in one area and is losing in another.
I think she should be allowed to contest the point but after 1.5 seconds of contesting her stealth flickers revealing her location for 0.5 seconds every second - The 1.5 seconds should reset if she exits and re-enters stealth but not reset if she stops contesting. This would allow her to still contest but have a definite limit on how much.
I think maybe people who are hacked should also provide Sombraâs passive to sombraâs teammates for that person. This keeps to Sombraâs theme of information is power and gives hack some auxiliary power without further increasing itâs direct power.

Might as well as revert this and the hack nerfs or just remove Sombra
Sombra can already be an annoying pest without these changes. However, being annoying does not win games. Seriously, what does infinite stealth even mean when you are useless in combat?

ah so the same thing that happened to bastion
