Destiny has it, fortnite has had it at times. Apex legends has something similar. Its in various Halo games
The funniest game Iâve seen that had permanent stealth was called âScreencheatâ where all players were invisible, but the game was split screen.
I havenât played any other shooters where players had access to permanent stealth, especially not while also being able to move around. The other games Iâve played that did were MMOs like WoW with Rogues that would just stunlock you from 100-0 out of stealth.
no there are a couple of shooter games with invisibility, but normally its a long cool-down ability or can only be used out of combat before an encounter
You know you can still hear her, right?
And that she talks and gives away her position all the time? Every time she hacks a health pack, every time she uses translocate, every time she comes out of stealth.
And that sheâs visible for .5 seconds before the hack animation starts, and for .5 seconds after vanishing you can still see her outline?
You also know how to spy check, right?
If you hit tab and see the enemy team has a Sombra but you donât see the Sombra, try turning around and spamming fire in all directions behind you. Youâll find her.
You also know if the enemy team has a Sombra that YOUR team just needs to play tighter together so she doesnât get any value, right? Like you know that your 10 mile distant Ashe/Ana/76/Widow is at fault for dying to Sombra because they are isolating themselves and making themselves easy prey⌠right?
Arenât you like, high rank? How do I know how to deal with Sombra and you donât?
Team Fortress 2.
You know⌠the game Overwatch was based on.

No one who thinks TF2 is dead is willing to listen to evidence to the contrary.

HuhâŚ
I donât know why, but it reminded me about ghost knocking in W:A that we used to play 
bros literally never heard of tf2 lol
While it is possible to load your own stages on the GPU, this isnât going to happen in a competitive shooter.
They would have to stop her showing at all.
Halo had invis as a power up, they were on making Sombra tho. They reworked Sombra, didnât remove invisâŚmade her more oppressive in the dps matchupâŚ
Paladins has a invis sniper tho Strix lmao
Thats good advice! I think some players (including myself) need to put in the extra effort to counter a cloaked Sombra.

Didnât expect to see some one else on this forum that enjoyed this game.
Sad that its no longer playable.
Thereâs a discord group that sometimes reactivates SMNCâs servers so that people can play it. Its against the rules to link directly to the group, but if you find adjacent SMNC related discord groups you can find a link.

âŚwhile standing still. There is a resource meter when you move that depletes.
Not fully invisible as the eyes can be seen and the hero still makes audible noise, and itâs a limited time powerup.
Oh a hero which can kill instantly. That is kinda the tradeoff here.
And also famously complained about, especially the notorious âface stabsâ.
Yes, but also not really used in competition because it is so weak.
I just play QP only and have a totally new approach⌠Iâll paste it here from another comment in wrote:
I, too, have been upset about the absurdity of perma-stealth and how it immediately ruins Overwatch as a game, regardless of which team wins, for quite a while.
But I suggest a new approach.
Embrace the absurdity. Since she ruins the match, use the match to get better and enjoy the game again. Instead of worrying about the other 4 enemies or the objective, simply dedicate yourself for every single nanosecond of the match to the Sombra. Simply play âKill The Sombraâ #KTS for the entire match.
I always tell my team before the match starts, âIf they go Sombra, Iâm going to do literally nothing at all but play âKill The Sombraâ for the entire matchâ. Now, this is QP only, of course. But so far, Iâve been doing this for 2 days and had NOTHING but positive responses from my team.
And sure enough, if they go Sombra, I go into KTS mode⌠Do we win? My goal is to not even know⌠If I am playing KTS well enough, I shouldnât even know which team is winning. If Iâm aware of the objective, it means Iâm not focused on that Sombra enough.
It makes Overwatch fun again.
When there is a Sombra, you play KTS.
When there is not a Sombra, you play normal Overwatch and enjoy the amazing game that it is when there isnât a perma-stealth hero ruining it.
Itâs super simple. I highly, highly, highly recommend everyone plays #KTS moving forward in all QP matches.
My personal favorite to use is Tracer. But as Tank, I use D.Va. Support, I use Kiri or Lucio.
And remember, it doesnât matter if she kills you more than you kill her. What matters is that you focus on her every nanonsecond. The only way you lose KTS is by focusing on anything other than Sombra. You wanna hit that 100% mark where you focus all 100% of your energy on that Sombra.
Good luck and have fun!

Well, guess what, it was on a timer when she released. You went invisible for five seconds or something, but guess DPS mains hated that. I just go Winston and zap her till she leaves. Thatâs what you do - you get some splash. Zarya, Mei, Brig for AoE âbeamsâ, Moira for the orbs and secondary fire, Junkrat or Pharah for splash. She runs away? Okay, payload is free. She stays invisible spams voicelines? Even better, sheâs just waisting her teamâs time.
