What is this argument? 
Iām just trying to be constructive. Iām not just trying to dismiss every point you make. Iām not even sure exactly what you meant by that oneā¦
My playstyle is engaging disruptor. Iām close to the battle, doesnāt care about the health packs, and Iām always trying to hack the enemies near my team. Usually it works quite well, because people expecting me being more Sombra-ish. Iām pretty good with managing my cooldown, and they are dictating my flow.
So now we have the changes. Which, of course, can sound lovely on paper, OP even (for some people). But despite my disappointment, I gave it a try.
To me, they totally missed the issue. She wasnāt struggling because of the stealth or translocator. I can sayā¦ she has high Latency. I mean, everything she does, she does with delay. Stealth, Hack, Trans, ultimateā¦ Everything is slowing her down.
She also faces bugs, some annoying, some disrupting the game. She struggles with Hack being unreliable. Still it can break without a clear reason, you can make an āempty hackā, rarely your hack is on cooldown, but the opponent is not hacked. Plus itās clearly not visible enough to your team.
So what we have now? Infinite Stealth and Translocator. What was the reasoning?
So far, the running feels bad, like in tar. Almost like you were caught by Mei. Basically itās, I think, the same speed as Soldierās, but somehow it feels clumsy.
Translocator is being destructible. Thatās the good thing, thatās what we are asking for, because being stuck with long duration of it wasnāt helpful. But it also can be destroyed by the enemies. But ok, now you need to be careful when you are throwing it into the enemies. Sadly itās now so loud. And sheās supposed to be an infiltrator.
Not to mention new extended range of being detected. And as WorstSombra showed, itās broken already (the sound of being detected likes to play even when you were not detected).
They also removed one of the Sombraās strength left - stalling the point. Sometimes these few seconds was more than enough to bring your team a chance to take it.
And still, every random bullet will break your stealth xd

Can you Blizzard make something good news to her?
If you said that was a buff,you are fake news dude.
She has no enough damage output,her kit is 100% worse than others damage characters

She hasnāt recieved a single āgood newsā since the first and only buff after 3 months of her release when the sped up the hack animation by 0.2 sec.
Every potential buffs (like the last one before this messā¦) was counter weighed by nerfs that ultimately made her worse.
She legit has not recieved a buff for more than 1.5 years. If anything positive has happened to her, she got a butt load of negatives to make her feel worse. She is still riddled with bugs, she feels and plays a lot more inconsistently and now thisā¦
Well, Iād say her spread was made better, but there are Sombra mains who saw it as a nerf.
Care to read the entire post maybe instead of cherry picking a single sentence from it and ignore literally the reason I said it?
But you know I basically agree with you?
I get it but that still doesnāt change the fact that the spread reduction came with the sh*tload of bugs to her LOS, hack cooldown and what have you. Sorry if I was rude, but Iām just at the point where I lost all my patience, I had so many people cherry pick what I said and make something else out of it. I was on auto pilot, sorry.
No worries, thatās the usual of Mercy threads.
Wellā¦ maybe thatās the 3-star material? Being able to make it work, despite all the bugs and being a scapegoat? xd
Well if thatās the case, Blizzard sure makes it their hearthās content to make it as hard as possible and making it harder and harder as time goes on.
The Sombra changes are completely horrible, the character is literally unplayable - you canāt use Translocator in the middle of a fight in order to perform combat maneuvers because they can destroy it, you canāt slip thruā a choke with stealth when they have 4m of detection, you canāt make half the number of jumps you could with the reduced stealth speed. I donāt actually see anything the changes give her other than being able to spawn camp - good luck actually doing anything in a team fight now.
Symmetra Turrets are more survivable than Translocator, facepalm.

Lol ikr
How would you be able to contest anyways when the detectability range is almost the size of a Winston bubble?
She might be easier now for new players to pick her up but #notmySombra
Iām so sad and disappointed by the changes.

She might be easier for starters, but you canāt get as much out of her when you get better. Now every other hero has more value than Sombra if played on an equal skill lvl.

PTR changes are usually pushed straight to live despite tons of feedback against it. Thereās no hope for Sombra RIP, again.
Whats dead may never die.

her skill floor did go down at least on paper. The problem is since you move slower in stealth even when you do find that āideal windowā for a kill one of your teammates will probably get picked. People in sub 2500 have ZERO survival skills generally speaking.
They spend too much time worrying about mechanical skills that honestly is laughably overrated.
Iām not completely sure how such changes actually made it to PTR. Disgraceful.
