[MEGA-THREAD] Sombra's Base Movement Speed Changes 💜

[Coda-11530]

Could Doomfist get this too? He’s a flanker right?

I think the community view him a brawler more than anything. However, Sombra’s kit is literally the generic Flanker kit.

Too bad the community is wrong on that one. He’s an awful Brawler. Reaper and Hog are a thousand times better in that respect.

[Goldlantern-1543]

If they did this, they’d have to do it for Doomfist and Reaper, too. They’re technically flankers as much as Sombra is.

[Somvra-1200]

i don’t think she needs a buff but im not a sombra expert so idc

You are absolutely correct, however this changes are welcome as it won’t break her at all.

All this time I’ve been playing her and I thought she already moved at their speed. I’mm all for this QOL change. lol

Nope my friend, she moves at 5.5MPS which sucks because when I hop on Genji or even Tracer, I can tell the difference.

That sounds like a pretty good idea.

Thanks Hopefully the devs will see this!

lol i love you for actually calling your main ‘generic’.

What can I say

It’s something to, not really make her more consistent, but to even out all the lost time when someone sneezes at you and throws you out of invis and breaks you hack.

It’s something that is so small that it can help her not feel so sluggish and slow.

Nevertheless I think they should look once more at her, because she always needs a truly reliable front line DPS (or main DPS should I say?) so he threats the enemy team enough so they won’t allow themselves to turn around with almost the whole team on Sombra. Also that main DPS often does that little damage to unlock the picks for Sombra.

I am okay with her damage, as I can truly aim with her weapon’s spread etc. as my accuracy average between 39% - 50%

I just want her to be that silencers, Stealthy Nimble hero that she is supposed to.

I agree to be honest,

Same

id also like this for doomfist…maybe slightly higher to 6.5mps becuause he is always in there and this would give him some semblance of escape when he is out of abilities

This could apply for reaper too

We have to be careful on this suggestion as I don’t mind them, I know others will, especially with Reaper.

The reason being I said Sombra, was because she literally has the basic flanker kit, and yet she moves slower than the other flankers.

Doomfist should get it too

Like I stated above, I am not opposed of the idea, but then people will start to ask why not McCree, or Pharah, Solider 76 or even Reaper.

I mention Sombra because she is literally the basic definition of Flanker, but yet she moves slower than the actually flankers in the game despite her being the True Flanker.

I do not like that, it does not Help her at all.

She is fast as it is and can go to high places with her tanslocater.

No need to go faster from left to right

It’s ok mate, this is a place for you to express your opinion about the matter. I just want to say that this changes are superb minor change that it wouldn’t affect her at all, but make her feel a bit smoother.

Too bad the community is wrong on that one. He’s an awful Brawler. Reaper and Hog are a thousand times better in that respect.

It’s kinda of tough because what do you classified Doomfist has?

If they did this, they’d have to do it for Doomfist and Reaper, too. They’re technically flankers as much as Sombra is.

Couldn’t this argument goes for McCree and Solider 76 even Pharah?

Like I stated above, the reason why I suggested Sombra, is because her kit is the generic and basic kit for a Flanker.

Stealthy (Invisibility)

Teleportation (Translocator)

Silencer Ability (Hack)

This change would likely do next to nothing. Tracer and Genji aren’t mobile because their base speed is 0.5 higher than what others have. It’s entirely down to their abilities.

I’d love to see Sombra buffed, but with actual buffs.

[Coda-11530]

He’s a dive.

Sure, Rocket Punch can one-shot in a hectic situation but DF has no staying power. He’s too big and his passive is not enough to keep him up without hit and run.

He’s meant to dive in with Seismic Slam, Uppercut, then Rocket out. At least, that’s how the best Dooms play. Leaving him in a static location, even a location as large as the point or payload, is just asking for death. Not to mention, outside of his abilities, he’s going to have a hard time getting kills. He’s better off exposing himself only when his abilities and positioning allow it, whereas Hog or Reaper are far too dangerous and bulky to allow ear your team for an extended period, like an all out team fight on point.

The base movement speed does help, but ever so slightly.

One can tell the difference though.

I wouldn’t call him dive.

[Coda-11530]

Why not? A good Doomfist drops in on your back line from insane angles, kills someone/s, and then flies away to cover. If that’s not dive, I don’t know what is.

I thank you searesly.
What i mean it woud be nice if she were faster but that is at the bottom of the list that she needs.
My biggest fear is that the devs will do that and call it a day saying she is done now.
Witch she is not in a long shot.

p.s. I am a Sombra main and this is the first time i feel useless for my team playing her insted of another char.

It’s all about position. I supposed.

Maybe they will look at her stealth.

[Fragehardt-1291]

Reinhardt and Winston don’t need another hero who can just walk out of their weapon range.

Edit: TBH I don’t think Genji and Tracer should even have that.

[Somvra-1200]

Reinhardt and Winston don’t need another hero who can just walk out of their weapon range.

Any heroes with mobility can easily escape those two tanks.

[Fragehardt-1291]

Yeah, with their abilities. The last thing they need is for people to be able to straight up walk away even when they have them dead to rights because their abilities are down.

[Pardyo-1116]

I would take the extra speed from genji and tracer.

[Solex-1764]

Doomfist is designed to be a backline defender IMO. People just play him like a flanker, which is why there are so many bad Doomfist players. Doom’s kit screams anti-dive, but nobody plays him that way.

I can understand your frustration.

This could work too.

Exactly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

tbh I was wondering why she never had a 6.0mps base movement speed from the start. Her invisibility is clunky thanks to the start up and her teleport isn’t instant. Her hurtbox is bigger than Gengu’s incredibly shrinking hurtbox and Tracer’s hurtbox. So it’s not like she’d be broken with it.

[Magnusjun-2541]

Sombra doesn’t really need this, she just needs all her bugs fixed. You say she needs this because she’s a flanker? That’s what her stealth is for, getting into position. And you shouldn’t use it for anything else. Her gameplay is vastly different from Tracer’s and Genji’s so we shouldn’t try to compare them.
I wouldn’t mind her getting a buff, but I don’t support imbalance even when it’s a buff to my favorite hero.

I respect your opinion mate, however even with her stealth delays it feels clunky. But I do agree that her bugs need her bug fix.

[Magnusjun-2541]

Agreed, her stealth should feel more fluid, but I’m surprised they even bothered making a skin for her

That’s her Rhianna skin.
