-that means EVERY part of her kit can be shut down by either 1 or 5 damage.
Wanna hack that guy? Too bad, a random Moira orb came out of no where and tickled you for one damage, which means you gotta wait two more seconds to try again!
Oh, you wanna stealth around with your new, dandy perma invis? TOO BAD! Since you’re moving at 50% speed, you have a higher chance of being hit by a random bullet while going past the choke!
Oh, your whole team is dead and you wanna get out with translocator? T O O B A D!!! That whole enemy team behind is shooting you, and one lucky bullet managed to hit that translocator you threw out, destroying it instantly!
If you wanna fix Sombra, stop making her kit so damn fragile. Its bad enough her damage is crap and her abilites all have delays tied to them.

Yeah I especially despise that stupid 2 second cooldown on hack. If your abilities are interruptible the least they can do is not put them on cooldown too.

This one at least is just flat out wrong, but that can be played around regardless. Simply don’t try to pass a choke during a dogfight. It’s not like you should be doing that anyways.

I just want a refund of my Sombra golden gun. Right. Now.

Where’s the fairness in having your whole kit shut off because you got winged by a random shot that wasn’t even being aimed at you?

I wish they could make an attempt at fixing Sombra without shoving more nerfs into her kit.

Here’s an idea: go around the choke using translocator while stealthed, completely avoiding any chance of getting hit by random spam. Hack your targets from behind instead of letting them shoot you in the face.
And stop whining. Sombra’s optimal play style may be getting a very slight nerf because of her stealth speed decreasing, but her versatility and consistency are getting a HUGE boost!
New Sombra is free to loiter behind the enemy waiting for the right opportunity instead of being forced to attack or bail right after she gets there. That freedom will allow for easier team coordination which is what makes hack actually useful in the first place. New Sombra is the opportunist that the hero was always meant to be.
I am far more worried about how incredibly frustrating permanent stealth is to play against than Sombra’s viability at this point.

Why all these strange changes? Just fix her bugs, give her little tweaks here and there (like the reload interrupt and TL reload) and that’s it! Again, every feedback given from experienced Sombra players is just flushed down the toilet.

Sombra was a pain in the * without the cooldown.
But I simply stopped playing her since the 2 sec cooldown broke her imo.
I’m not that experienced on her tbh, but she doesn’t feel like she’s doing what she’s meant to do.

No such thing. A mercy that pockets her zen, will do that now or 5 seconds later. If you wait 20 seconds for the “right oppurtunity” it’s gg.
That’s the first thing they teach you in sombra school.

I blame the damage interrupts. Any hero would become terrible if being shot at stopped them from doing anything.

Screw that. I want a refund of my Sombra hours. 1K for each hour pls.
One time I got instagibbed in stealth by a random widow hs aimed at another character entirely. Wasn’t even a team fight, just a completely random poke shot.

well as far as i know you’re not meant to run on a choke while a teamfight is going on, but ok, past that, translocator is another interesting one, there are only 2 options when you try to place it in desperation mode 1) it WILL get destroyed, but that’s partly your fault, since she’s more of a utility hero for team fights (wich annoys the crap out of me everytime i get hacked out of nowhere) or 2) the enemy team will corner you and kill you either before or after using the translocator.
the main point with Sombra is positioning and getting the right hacks at the right time, she was never a viable dps in every spot, and seriously that’s amazing, having a hero that can flank without being seen and is also capable of killing one or both supports at ease isn’t healty by any means, also you gotta rember that her weapon got buffed not long ago, you just have to not be far af to deal a decent amount of damage

Sombra mains are acting like they can’t go around the choke point

Sombra doesn’t feel like she is good at these things. In team fights she either gets interrupted or her hacked target gets protected by their team. Her damage is also really bad still.

yeah, the 2sec cooldown + interrupt is a bit too much
