but why is there a hero designed to stop people from having fun? Her being able to aoe hack as an ult seems fine, but hacking people every few seconds shouldn’t exist. If the goal is to design a fun game I mean.

In a competitive environment (competitive means you’re going against other players, not that your performance is being openly judged), every hero is designed to stop other people from having fun in some way or another. Be it killing, healing, cc, or invulns, fun is being restricted. In exchange for this, you get to interact with other people. The problem is a lack of sportsmanship. A lot of online interactions are polluted by anonymity. You don’t see that often with in-person games like sports or tabletop games, because there are real consequences to being a wangrod (especially if you’re into a niche game like DnD or various wargames, have fun finding another Warhammer group after you’ve burnt bridges in your home town).

Take away every hero’s abilities and nerf them down to just guns then?
If you want to take away from one hero might as well bring all down to just basic pistols and then you can draw pistols at dawn!

Impact hammers only, let’s go.
No too OP Rein gets a generic pistol it’s the only to make the game truly balance, Everyone get normal pistols and no super powers, in fact everyone gets generic army uniforms.
Overwatch is too much, Rename it… Call of duty.
I’m talking Unreal Tournament impact hammers. It’s like Widow duels, but without the skill and all of the latency.
I’m fine with her abilities and the character generally, but I want less of her. She’s not as warping to the game environment as when Widow is omnipresent, but you still have to assume she’ll be in every game and plan accordingly.
fun is a subjective matter. present a non-subjective issue with sombra, and i’ll happily discuss it.
more subjectiveness.
Dev’s goal is usually balance. Fun is Subjective, Balance can be recorded and tested.

Final Destination! Rein only!
I played a bunch of QP Sombra last night and I find myself a bit bummed out when the enemy comes out on Doom/Ball. I want those heroes to have fun also so kind of avoid hacking them (Ball, less so)
Character is just too easy to play because of infinite invis and fast tp, very hard to misplay with this kit.
Blizzard should have kept a timer of invis since she got released so you actually have to use your brain when going for a flank.
she isn’t designed that way
at all
none of the heroes are designed that way
Sombra represents a different kind of challenge than most of the other possible opponents, but in the end, thats all it is…a different kind of challenge
and as others have said…fun is subjective. I dont find Genji to be fun, personally, but that doesnt get in the way of embracing the challenge to defeat him

I think she needs a rework.
I mean, I love playing her, but I think a rework is on the cards.
Considering she just got a rework less than a year ago, and there are about 20 other characters that have yet to get a rework, i highly doubt that any major changes are coming to sombra… youd be better off getting good, or leaving than hoping they vastly change her

tracer, doom, ball, (heck almost every tank these days) quite a few supports and a number of DPS fit this.
it’s designed to milk money from people who are addicted; not to be fun. It for sure used to have a lot of passion in it and a dev team that seemed to truly strive for fun and a level of balance at the same time (however flawed the way they went about it was) but ever since we got team 4.5, that’s been out of the window and I don’t really blame the dev team for this.
