Not because I think she’s OP but rather I’m a Tracer/Genji dive line up purist and think Tracer/Sombra is cringe. Make it happen Blizzard, bring back the best Dive DPS line up. Also Winston, Tracer, Genji, Kiriko, and Juno dive comp set up is incredibly fun to play.

honestly she does need to be nerfed like to have hacked and virus both that can be used is a bit to far even though the damage from virus can be easily undone
Sombra is such a strange character to balance. On the one hand, if you have a slightly awake support, she is rendered completely useless. On the other, if you don’t have said slightly awake support, you’re forced to change or be farmed on certain heroes.

They’re not gonna nerf a 45% winrate hero. And we need more pure dive DPS, not fewer.
Ask for buffs that make her less frustrating, to you. Every time this thread comes up the OP never offers what they want out of Sombra, just that they never want to see her again.
I get it, but also I never want to see Zen or Ana again, there’s no difference to that argument vs the Sombra one because it’s emotionally driven and subjective.

I’m tracer main and hate sombra as other dps , cause they are not sombra mains, most of the he time it’s someone using her for ease.
She also doesn’t have the staying power of genji in a dive with tracer.
I practically absolutely enjoy playing with genji as tracer nowadays.
Sombra really makes you appreciate others lol 
They should just replace Juno’s autolock with an alarm clock. That should wake up both supports and negate Sombra’s presence.

Like absolutely if the supports are just aware and peel for you achieve other and others sombra is a absolute total non issue.
Her kit simply doesn’t have any potential to overcome that.
If anything sombra rework exposed the supports blatantly.
Sombra is the dumbest worst design in the game, if the supports are good you literally don’t need to kill , i would even say don’t kill her just spray a bit and chase it away and make the enemy team have a useless dps.
Last thing you need is to keep killing the sombra enough and that player fall backs to something like pharah and becomes more useful to team.
But practically role q killed all roles except dps with tribalism as everyone made dps as a villain role and compete with it in the same team, in open q I would gladly swap to support and show how it’s done.

Honestly, Sombra just needs to lose her Permanent Invisibility. Having Permanent Invisibly in an competitive fps is stupid.

Stealth needs better counters Sym and torb turrets should target her through stealth and break it as well as Junos missiles, moira’s primary fire, and soldier/ Mccrees ultimates let her be as easy to counter as she’s easy to use.
I dont want her nerfed- Shes not overpowered.
But i still want changes for her.
Hacking from stealth as a bad idea

she counters dive… that’s her identity. every hero in OW has and needs a counter… you want to take away your counters bcoz you aren’t able to handle them?? that’s a skill issue, not a game issue.
Example: A counters B, B counters C and C counters A.
You only play A.
Your logic: take out C so its easier for you to counter B without any counters for yourself.
Sombra’s already nerfed and Aaron, Alec don’t need to inform us anymore about changes.
