This is gonna be very hard for me to admit but I am starting to feel Sombra might be the worst hero in the game.
- She has the lowest winrate and yet still got nerfs
- She has not gotten any real buffs (sigma and translocator changes do not count)
- The people who main her say she feels really bad to play
- FITZY said she feels bad to play
- She is resorted to being a hackbot and never flanking to actually be useful
- The heroes she does counter have better counters
- Majority of the playerbase agrees she needs buffs and tweaks
Please help our hacker gal, she’s one of my favorite characters and I would love to play her again.
I know there might be people who disagree with me, so I am ready for some salt.
However lets all agree that Sombra needs help.
Or I hope i’m just crazy and this is all meaningless.

So translocator in the latest PTR does count, no idea why it wouldn’t. Being able to double teleport and get out onto the battlefield more by reducing the time sitting on the health pack, waiting for the cooldown to finish definitely helps her in the long run. Also, I personally think about 70 percent of all DPS heroes have suffered in this latest meta, shields just suck to shoot at.

Sombra is intentionally sabotaged by the Devs to be kept out of the meta.
She’s either a meme pick or one of the strongest heroes in the game. And the Devs like making meme heroes

Its a nerf and a buff, and yet it still will not help her.
Its a buff because it means you can place a translocator in the backline more often.
However its also a nerf because it means you get punished for using it during combat and getting it destroyed.
Truer words have never been spoken.

I guess I can see where you are coming from. Maybe just a slight tweak to her translocator from 6 seconds to 5?
Nope technically and factually genji is the worst hero in the game. Deflect is dependent on the enemy firing at you with projectile, dash is dependent on the enemy being low enough hp to kill or to kill after a dash. Ult leaves him super vulnerable, using deflect during ult waistes potential damage, blade takes two swings to kill a 200hp character, more then half the line up of characters counter him as well so no sombra isnt weak especially when she has the get out of jail free card that is translocate. Oh edit and to add the multiple bugs he has that blizzard decides to not even acknowledge.
That would be OK, but I think making it back to 4 seconds would be even better.
This would not be game breaking and Sombra could really use this buff.
Fitzy at this point sounds bipolar to me, he said on August that Sombra is in a bad state, but now he mentions something along the line that the translocator change is a step in the right direction?
Being able to avoid death isn’t particularly useful when you contribute basically nothing to your team.

Avoiding death to utilize ult without a stagger yeah sure bud her ult is why she is used its been that way for her since the beginning of her release.
and she still poops on Bastion!
This has to be a joke right?
Until Sigma’s release Genji was constantly 3-4th most popular DPS, with above average winrates
It literally took a Tank to have a 100% pickrate, and to totally warp the entire game around them, for Genji to fall off.
Sombra was viable for half a meta, not a must pick, not needed, just a viable option; and they nerfed her back into being worthless
She’s so worthless, that a meta she was made to counter (Tank related) she can’t even COUNTER. Think about that. She was made to counter tanks; we’re in a meta that is built around a tank, and she’s hot garbage
BUT MUH GENJI ISN’T ONE OF THE BEST DPS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS D: D: D:

An EMP every now and then followed by a 5v6 for a few minutes is exactly that. Contributing basically nothing to your team.
And the lack of anything else that actually does something in her kit is exactly why she isn’t used.

Sure bud stay within your zarya bubble nothing can hurt ya there
Finally someone else is acknowledging this.
She’s by far the worst hero in the entire game on every platform. The minute she gets made even remotely usable, people throw a temper tantrum crying, and she gets nerfed back into her hole. It’s like she has to peek out her blinds every 6 months and then can step outside for a few minutes.
You can’t just complain “hack is annoying.” Yeah, there are a lot of things in this game I find “annoying”, but that doesn’t mean I want the hero unusable across the board.

Has ingame proof with Top 500 players having a lot of Genji thoughtout every season until Sigma
Has countless meta reports showing Genji near the top
Overbuff until Sigma showing Genji as number most used DPS, with a 52% winrate average
Huh interesting… Seems he was pretty viable regardless

At least Genji can still get a solo wipe and can actually kill stuff.

As far as stats go she’s pretty much been the worst hero in the game since launch, OWL is the only place she’s been meta and we still see her get nerfed because less than 1% of the player base gets too much use out of her.

She didnt get any damage buff with the new 2/2/2 system , picking her right now result in a dps loss for the team, maybe they will nerf her hack and buff her damage.
