People always say her damage is low, or she cant do any burst damage. This would make her more lethal as a DPS, and it would reward Sombra for landing a hack without being locked into a god awful two second cooldown from any source of damage.

Honestly, the people who say her damage is too low are not the greatest at the game. She can 1 v 1 most of the cast once they are hacked and if you have decent tracking and aim while going for headshots… She does her job. Always has. The last thing she needs is more damage. Literally any other change would be more beneficial.

I wouldn’t say there bad at the game all of us felt bad when we started Sombra with her dmg didn’t we but with some training you get used to it.

Yes yes and yes.
You can hack a target, land almost all shots, but you can’t outdamage a healer pocketing them. If that happens, you need to reset, which burns game time.
She needs this

Honestly, I was pretty good at Sombra day one. The character really connected with me and I already had a lot of practice from Soldier and Tracer. But yes, practice makes perfect. There is NO doubt that when your aim is messed up on Sombra, it is FAR more punishing than virtually any other character. So I get the problem and why people want more of a safety net to confirm their kills. I prefer they retain that need to have perfect aim because you can have perfect engages, especially now.

Basically this, if you aim for the head and track her damage is decent sure it isn’t comparable to Tracer or Soldier 76’s sustained damage but it still gets the job done. Having infinite stealth and dealing extra damage to hacked targets would make her extremely frustrating to play against.

You can never have too much DPS. 
This need to be a thing honestly… If a support can not only make an enemy take +30% damage to not only from Zenyatta himself, but from his entire team… Then I see what is the issue to allow hacked target to take additional damage from only Sombra.

She is clearly not meant to be a predator like DPS killer who comes out of stealth and just drops a person. If that was the goal, a spy like 1vs1 DPS burst “winning” sort of hero they would have already made her that way.
She has always been utility first, DPS 2nd… Players are not really meant to 1v1 with her.

This is literally what her stealth and translocator changes were for

Having infinite STEALTH already is BROKEN… You want even more?

Hacked target takes reduced healing perhaps lol
I played against a Masters Sombra and let me tell you, I was shocked by the difference. This person one clipped a Hanzo and Moira in occasions, all by herself.
DeadLamb, let me explain something to you mate.
She will still be that utility based hero that she was designed to be… She is not going be this “Predator like DPS Killer” when she come out of stealth as she need to de-cloak, find a target, hack per say the target that she been tracking, and set up to proceed to either informed the enemy who has been hacked and help eliminate that per say target.
I have no issue with them making her utility first and damage second, but then need to make her utility actually work half the time, and worth wild… I am not going mention this as this should be a given, but it need it’s bugs fixed to make it consistent.
You are saying players are not meant to 1v1 her, but the hard cold truth is that many heroes CAN 1v1 her even when they are hacked.
I like this idea of making the target only take x% more damage only by Sombra. as this will promote players to be more aggressive with hacking heroes.
IF a support like I said, can not only add a debuff to the target to receive 30% more damage from himself and his teammate on a NO COOLDOWN, then I don’t see the issue with them doing the same with Sombra, but make it only take x% from Sombra and Sombra only.
EDIT: Now of course there are other ways to buff her, that is if Blizzard actually just buff her instead of buffing her just a smidge and nerfing two aspect of her kit.

Because most sombra mains on the forums are low ranks that lack good aim.

How is infinite stealth broken exactly?
I take infinite STEALTH with my WINSTON anyday…
All the efforts that TAKE ME flank the entire team to start a small offensive on the supports then jump back to my team. Now imagine doing this with ZERO EFFORTS cuz i can flank with a FREE-TICKET
So please give me infinite stealth with winston…
I’m fine with this idea and makes sense, But then hacked time goes down to 3 secs.

But this not Winston though… it’s Sombra.
