As if she doesn’t do enough dmg already (with aim that is)…
How about just making hacked targets have a sugar skull appear in front of their heads that’s only visible to Sombra? It doesn’t outright increase her overall dps but it will definitely help tracking for head shots.
Infinite stealth with the ability to actually nuke targets before they can turn around and fight back since you will always get the drop on them would be the worst kind of game design and utterly broken. This is why sombra’s current damage is completely fine. Sombra is not an assassin.
And bursting targets through healing? Heck no, that’s insane amount of damage for a character who’s invisible all the time.
And people cry about discord being so op, do you really want ANOTHER damage boost stacked in there with discord and damage boost? No. Just no.
No more characters like doomfist who can just go in and delete people without being able to contest.

Nice idea theft 
Completely untrue. Sombra is one of the worst duelists in the game.
I don’t even play Sombra and want this. She is a character that should be sneaky and get kills.
LOL, not this again. Please provide links mate as to where these coaches are saying that she is brokenly overpowered.
Additional Information: currently Sombra is seeing less time in the contenders now as many teams are countering the Sombra effectively more so now than before. Not to mentioned that Sombra was ran majority of the time to hard counter Hammond and Lucio. Not to mention that majority of the heroes that are being ran in the contenders typically by pass D.va’s Defense Matrix…
I will wait for the link as I haven’t heard nor read anything saying that Sombra is brokenly overpowered.

Im not really suited to make a call on whether or not sombra is or isnt in need of a buff/nerf but this just sounds right
Sombra do more damage on hacked players?
Let me check.
Sorry, Computer says No
Hack causes havoc to the enemy team.
Hack a rein shield and he dies quick.
That’s actually quite clever. The problem with Sombra is that she can’t have too much damage because otherwise she’d just pop out of invis and kill any 200hp hero but this way her otherwise low damage could be compensated while giving the opponent time to react to it. I’d second this

Sounds like you either hacked the wrong target or attacked the wrong target
That’s kind of the point of a healer though.
HAHAHA
Now take into account Brigs armor she provides the enemy team, now take into account a torb change coming into the future, not only does these things s**t on Sombras ability to deal damage, but more people will be demanding a buff to Reaper and other heroes as well with how prevalent armor will be.
This fanciful 1v1 scenario only happens consistently when spawn camping, this doesnt take into account teamfights where people will be pocketed, or will be bubbled, or just isnt in the vicinity of team8s.
Yes Sombra is a great 1v1 hero, but this is a team game.
I haven’t read the whole thread, but I suggested something similar before for Sombra.
A hacked hero’s primary weapon could do 10-15% less damage due to the hack/emp, for duration of hack/emp, instead of buffing Sombra’s damage output.
And this will be the moment in time where tanks will become 100% useless.
to be honest, I’m not sure I’m a fan of this proposal? I mean it’d be nice, but her needing a teammate to follow up is incorporated in her design.
Id say yes, this encourages hacking before shooting, as of now sometimes.indont even hack my targets before shooting to not alert them

that’s overpowered for her, you realise sombra deals good damage right?
at the right range she does 320 dps with headshots
upping that 15% means she is at 368 dps with headshots
you want sombra to literally take away the ability to do anything from other heros, and have tank deleting damage?
no.
sombra is already a must pick at pro levels. she is fine, learn to play her with team work, or move on to a hero that is a more solo playstyle.
she would be OP with burst damage
She isn’t anymore her pick rate is drastically dropping in prolevel how I said she was just a surprise EMP bot. It’s not relevant what some coach said everyone that plays Sombra can see that.
And she never was a must pick she got counters in a lot of games.
Besides what most Sombra mains are asking for is:
- Increased base movement speed to match Tracer and Genji.
- And better Visuals on hack.
Both would barely change anything at pro level they don’t have as much troubleshooting faster targets and they have Teamwork that’s almost not possible for normal ladder.
