Is Sombra technically the worst hero in the game?

How is picking Sombra a self-propagating unit of cultural evolution?

Or are you just putting meme in front of whatever you want? Because that’s the true meme - misusing the word meme.

Damn you sound sad. Have it ever occurred to you, that maybe not everyone on this forum is a native English speaker?

Now sorry for the tone I took at the start of our conversation, but people like you annoy me a lot. Those who just come to any game and be like “Oh, I don’t like this and that. So it should be nerfed”. Sombra, Mei, Bastion are heroes just like others. With mainers who like them. They have as much right to have fun as you. They most likely find other heroes annoying too. But I don’t see them calling for nerfs.

This is the dumbest rhetoric I’ve ever heard
These people aren’t complaining about their counters, why are you??
First of all, I don’t complain because these heros counter me, I complain because they are incredibly frustrating to play against. Idk what crack you are on, but some people can’t 180 turn and immediately hit a sombra in the span of .65 seconds it takes for her to land a hack, this ridiculous notion “Just counter them LAL” is ridiculous, hope you also aren’t about to complain about ANY HERO EVER being op because they all had counters. You wanted to counter brig on release? Run a brig of your own lmao brig not op we good.
You don’t like sigma? Plenty of heros counter him.

You mixed in one pile OP heroes and just “annoying” ones. Then said a lot about counters. Please state clearly what you want me to answer.

And hack is not that powerful:

  1. You have more than 0.65 seconds to counter it, if she goes out of invisibility. Going out of invisibility IS LOUD.
  2. If she’s not - you should’ve seen her approaching
  3. Even if she hacked you, she has one of the weakest weapons in the game and you still have yours.

There are some heroes like doomfist, who rely on their abilities a lot and hack is dangerous for them. But, for example, Soldier 76 can shrug it off and just kill Sombra easily.

Hack is not that powerful lmao, hack for the majority of the cast is a death sentence.

  • It seems like the Sombras you play against have no clue how to play the game, you hide until the fight starts, once the enemy starts pushing in and is invested in the fight you uncloak from a safe position and hack. There is very little counter opportunity here, tanks are invested in the fight, supports invested in healing the tanks and dps inveted in killing the enemy tanks, and a 5 seconds stop in any of these people using their abilities (Overwatch isn’t an fps game anymore lets be honest) is an absolute death sentence if the enemy team have any resemblance of awareness or communication. It’s very easy while your on the forums to say *OH just be more aware LAL, that 1 second time period between where you have all your abilites and have none is more than enough but this is just not how it ends up in practice.

  • These next 2 points have to be a joke right? Further evidence that either you have no clue how to play this hero, or your teamates have no clue how to play this hero.

Also the distinction between annoying heros and op heros is irrelevant because according to your logic since they all had counters no one should be complaining.

I will stop this right here. I had this conversation numerous times on this forum and I know how useless it is to use logic against pure hate. Have a nice day.
