Make Sombra invisivility temporary again

She just spam hack, virus and kill as soon as u are away from ur team even 1,5 seconds. Then proceeds to spawn-kill the remainder of the match. The main reason to be so OPAF is her permanet invisivility, which should be removed in exchange for a temporary one like in OW 1.

Also, doesnt make sense than her hack hability can deny so meny ultimates, but this goes for another thread

I dont think permainvis is the issue. It’s that they allowed her to hack directly from stealth. Giving her the virus ability also just made her even more of a watered down cheesy assassin.

That said, I would gladly take any variant of OW1 sombra over what we have now.

It’s just that what we have now doesn’t make any kind of sense. I haven’t hated a character this way since brig and doom in ow 1.

Try:

  • working with your team
  • have reaction speeds faster than this crappy “New York” style pizza my friend picked up
  • have more awareness than the can of Monster I regret drinking five minutes ago

Yeah but thats just because of her ability to hack from stealth (giving you very little time for counterplay) and virus giving you essentially a free 100 damage. She used to take skill to play and was very aim intensive to secure kills.

Try:

  • Stop drinking monster, is bad for you health
  • Delete sombra

She unstealths upon hack and is revealed during hack, which means it doesn’t really make a difference

She directly doesnt give you any react time. And the problem of coordinating with ur team is that it doesnt happens at lower ranks (this happens to me on low dm btw).

It absolutely does make a difference. It allows her to engage directly from stealth (she also unstealths faster in OW2). In OW1 she is forced to engage while visible, so the same action of hacking someone required unstealthing near them.

Fair; I misunderstood what you were saying at first. However, sombra as a character is not that great rn (she’s fine) so I don’t think she needs any nerfs.

I dont think shes overpowered either (with the exception of how hard she can counter widow), but i do think shes more annoying and cheesy than she was in OW1.

Didn’t she have a 5 second ability lockout in ow1?

Yeah, which is saying something :laughing:

Just my opinion, though.

She do. Makes no sense that hack can deny an ultimate or the fact that she can delete any supp in 2 seconds

So can every stun cd. The tradeoff is that hack isn’t a skillshot but takes a bit to complete, while other stuns like Javelin are skillshots (with a massive hitbox) but are faster.

So can other dps in an ideal environment.

  1. Hack was made permanent to keep Sombra playable. She may not absolutely need it, but it’s necessary for smooth gameplay; otherwise, less skilled players won’t be able to manage anything!

  2. As long as invisibility is a passive ability, that’s not going to work anyway. We already don’t have control over the activation, and now you want to add a duration? No thanks.

  3. Sombra is not OP!

  4. Spawn camping isn’t really worth it. Yes, it ruins your own game, and that’s definitely not cool, but the trade-off would always be 1 for 1, and it doesn’t matter whether she goes after a DPS or a Support!

  5. Let’s say we revert her to what she was before the rework. What would you give her to compensate for the loss of invisibility? If you’re calling for a nerf, you should have suggestions!

I don’t think it should cancel any ultimate tbh. It’s way way way too easy to hack someone out of an ult. Cassidy, Sigma, Moira, Orisa, they all get hacked out of theirs every single time if there’s a Sombra.

How could not be OP if she cancels ults like mcree, orisa, sigma,moira, ashe, etc. with a 3 SECONDS cooldown hability??? Are we crazy? :joy::joy: Also, spawn camping makes the experience of playing this game awfull and go supp againt her is the biggest piece of dogsh1t ever

If she’s so OP, why is she the weakest hero and also the easiest to counter?

And were you off fetching chalk during math class? Otherwise, you’d be able to count to six and know her actual cooldown!

It’s a 6 second cooldown. 3 seconds if you hack a non-player entitiy (healthpack, turret, etc.) of if she’s interrupted while attempting to hack. You’re free to be upset about her abilities, but at least be upset at things that isn’t misinformation.
