Rework STEALTH: Can only be activated when standing still for 0.75 seconds.
Remove VIRUS (optional)
Restore TRANSLOCATOR.
That easy. She keeps her identity and she’s not annoying to play against anymore as invisibility + movement = terrible.
She’ll have to use her OG translocator for setting up her instant repositioning, giving the enemy team a fair chance to scope the area and eliminate it, but Sombra will also have the card to surprise a tracker coming close to her stationary position with the new reworked stealth. Fair game, fun game.
Stealth needs to be niched. If it’s used as a crutch, it makes it miserable to play against. That is all, wisdom has been spoken.
I come back after YEARS of not playing and sombra is still a problem. They have definitely undertuned sombra and after this long I believe it’s safe to say that the character has a player bias that’s really bad.
All they had to do was find a way to match the ttk for both sombra vs any dual (after stealth) with the exception of counters. A de-stealth + hack + projectile skillshot is too harsh of a nerf and at this point might as well be a 3 part quicktime event.
Actually, a quicktime event mid de-stealth might be better than what’s going on here. (unironically one of the best idea’s for her).
Anyways, I just wanted to drop in because the devs have been making sombra mains suffer a little too much.
I would take OW1 sombra any day of the week over this. Yes, hack was busted but at least it made the game interesting. It’s a high risk/high reward character.
Sombra mirrors used to have mind games involved and if you didn’t like it, you swapped to cass or brig. if you played in a team you peeled/ played closer to the group.
How is anyone supposed to play with an immobile invisibility? Just wait until the enemy walks past?
And how is Sombra supposed to hack someone if invisibility has been removed but hack can still be interrupted?
Sorry, but this is yet another one of those dumb “destroy Sombra” posts that won’t work!
Fix invisibility by simply giving her back the delay and the obvious voice line she used to make in OW1 when coming out of stealth!
Sombra could still do what she was meant to do, and enemies had a realistic chance to counter her. Anyone complaining after that is just a noob who needs to pay more attention to their surroundings.
But people don’t understand that, and then they whine when it gets implemented and Sombra receives a compensation buff! In that case, it would either be even more damage or an uninterruptible hack — probably even both at the same time. Let’s just go all the way and remove all her abilities, and instead her SMG fires mini D.Va bombs!
ive always wanted a blind in game…and a glitched out version of a blind would work well on her i think…
instead of removing abilities she just makes your vision wonky for a few secs…dont have to give her insane burst anymore…hell she doesnt have to rely on invis anymore to get her into position
yeah its more generic, but i dont think it wouldnt feel as oppressive as getting instantly gibbed by the invisible hero…and she still has “hack” and “hard to see” aspects
I honestly think thats even more annoying but at this point why not. Everything else has been tried. Wish blizz would just sell her to a different studio with a backbone
Sombra gets around the corner while the enemy chasing, she throws translocator to set up and stand still to go invisible.
Greedy enemy who wants that kill chases, falls for her trap. Sombra surprises and get the kill or loses the fight and teleports away.
You people on here can’t come up with anything better and fair, just look at the suggestions that some dropped on here and they make her worse to play against. Blind? Who wants their screen blurry!?
