Just like they did to Sombra. She is so far from what she initially was, what initially made people enjoy playing her. She is now a completely different character, A utility dps they tried to turn into another assassin. The community and the devs have decided her initial feel doesn’t matter, her initial playstyles don’t matter, her initial identity and even reasons for picking her (being the character to reliably reduce ability spam but not be super offensive) doesn’t matter, The initial Sombra players don’t matter.
Hero identity is not an excuse anymore I want Widow and Hanzo’s “ohk primary” identities to be assassinated as well. It doesn’t matter if they’re worse versions of other characters afterwards, They also “ruin” games, they are also annoying, that’s apparently reason enough regardless of stats or where they are in the meta.
Edit: It’s funny seeing some of you reply with the same garbage gaslighting and are missing the point which is literally in the second sentence and last paragraph. It’s not about her lethality or strength, she’s not the same character. It’s not about infinite invis or even reverting hack to the same ability it originally was, it’s about the character being warped into another kind of dps and having her original playstyle and identity assassinated and it feels extra stupid when they just buffed Hanzo back to preserve his (and defended Widow’s as well). Sombra wasn’t designed to be an assassin type of damage character yet they are trying to change her into one, we don’t need another one of those and her mains never asked for it.
It’s like if they changed and warped Pharah’s kit to play more like Torb or Sym and become a builder instead of a flyer, if they warped Mei’s kit away from a what it is into a flyer like Echo or even into a squishy flanker like Tracer. It’s not about giving it time or realizing she’s “stronger” at all, this is not the same kind of character people grew fond of playing in OW1, warping her into a worse, clunkier version of other characters is not the solution and never was the solution. It’s also time they stop listening to bad sombra players, non-sombra players, and stupid people about what they think Sombra should be, they will “adapt” to any sombra playstyle and have defended each garbage rework decision anyway.
They’ve shown that character identities can be completely changed because of complaining, regardless of how strong the character is or how much they are played, Widow and Hanzo being stronger, being complained about a lot, being player much more, and being meta much more, warrants their identity assassination as well, especially if it’s their primary OHK like Blizz believes. And the one silver lining about what did they to sombra is hopefully people start complaining about Widow enough to get it to happen to her.
