I think I will continue to play Sombra

drop my MMR in unranked hard, till I get a 50/50WR and then switch to another, better hero. I wonder how many matches it will take.

As Blizzard intended

Matches will be easier when you play any other hero anyway lol

I am going to do the same to prepare for the Widowmaker mythic. Once I am lower ranked, it should be pretty easy to command the lobby without being forced to switch. Hopefully…

Swinging a hammer day in and day out does tend to make you a bit rusty.

Oh of course, but I want to tank my MMR.
If Blizzard truly believes that this change is fine, which they probably tested a lot, then it must be ok to do it, right?

Blizz needs data on her performance so it is our duty to play her

Yes, quite right! I am honor bound to troll with Sombra. What would the developers ever do without me?

Easiest way to smurf ever. They can’t even complain you are doing it.

It will be funny when you learn in that time how to play the new Sombra and climb instead of lose mmr. She isn’t that bad actually.

I strongly expect buffs. I am pretty sure her current win rate is sub 40% at least.

The speed her average monthly win rate is dropping is pretty amazing. Which means her win rate since rework has to be utter garbage.

If one of the best Sombra player, Fitzy, is her declaring dead, than she is bad.

Yeah, and he is one of the players was is least likely to do so. He has been amazingly positive about Sombra though pretty much all iterations.

But here we are.

She is bad though not unplayable but at least competing for bottom dps spots. With some buffs soon I’m sure she’ll be average, but her old gameplay loop will probably stay dead.

this is why i wish we could see internal statistics for heroes or have some transparency

although on overbuff for this month in grandmaster she is last place for winrate. still its overbuff but thats all we got

IF it is that bad i would expect a hotfix/buff soon but heh who knows how the devs operate nowadays. maybe its about money instead of performance or they look AT OTHER FACTORS. i am sure the biggest factor is $$$

i wonder if there are more people who like sombra than hate her :wink: (i am sure its hate)

so if i dont see any buffs or reworks or she stays in this state for a while then ya i think we are seeing balance in a different way

I think I will too. I still find her fun to play as. And I have mostly adopted to the changes. (Except how slow she is)

No. She’s much worse than she ever has been. There are far better hero picks now.

That said, I’m still gonna play her until I get banned for one tricking her and getting blamed for the losses.

I’m not sure how you could confidently make that claim two days after the patch.

she is not weak enough to do that unless you are throwing, she can burst at 250+ dps on tanks its nothing to be scoffed off.

She is certainly clunky and also buggy , so they need to tweak her quite a bit.

I think fix bugs on tp .

Give speed passive of tracer genji.

Also give her tp a etc 2 mtr it often falls short of things.

Before it wasnt a problem cause u were invis most of the time and had both speed and time to use props so now since you are throwing tp while being slow you need those etc metres.

Outside that they can allow you to start reload animation and cancel it with tp but you get reload after tp.

Im kinda liking the up time a lot more and being able to fight with team a lot.

Also been able to do flanks in larger maps with room like flashpoint payloads etc.

yeah, I havent even logged into OW in almost a month… probably permanently done with blizzard in general after seeing crap like this… Sombra is now 2/3rds of a hero… been playing blizzard games for the better part of the last 2.5 decades and I have never had the issues that i have seen in the last 12 months… WoW is so glitchy that dungeons aren’t completable, Diablo 4 is crap, OW can’t figure out what it’s doing, and racism, bigotry, and harassment run rampant on these forums with absolute radio silence from mods…just like with PVE story campaigns and everything else that was promised with OW2’s debut, sombra is supposedly getting a major buff midseason… screw this…

He also went 15-0 with her so how dead can she actually be?

Old Sombra is dead. We have a new Sombra, try her out
