New Idea For Sombra Rework

READ WHOLE THING

Make hack not affect enemy’s cool downs but give a speed reduction plus take away shield and armor (still effects heath packs) but EMP does speed reduction takes away armor and shield and stops cool downs and ults.

(reason… hack is to powerful against ults and cool down based heros making her ult EMP affect cool downs makes it have more counter play then hearing Genji scream at the top of his lungs then turning and holding right click. makes you use ults to counter ults and not cool downs that you have most of the time to counter ults that are hard to build)

Get ult charge from hacking heath packs.

(reason the more you help your team the more you get your ult)

Ult build time decreased by 40%.

(reason ult is really strong with changes can turn the tide of battle exp. nano blade comes out you use EMP to counter it and then the team has no cool downs and are slowed and lose shield plus armor that is to op plus heath packs give you ult charge)

invisibility has no cool down. If found kicks her out of it and has a 3 sec cool down.

(reason if sombra is going to be a assassin then her invisibility should be her 1# go to plus it is a quality of life thing)

new cool down copy cat. after killing or hacking someone you can copy there kit and turn into them for 15 sec when this happens her translocator gets destroyed and the function key turns you back into sombra. you can move during cast time no gun or cooldowns also when activated it restores your health the amount of your targets health adds shield and armor like normal exp. turn into reaper missing 50 hp but has 50 shield you had 49 health you would be a reaper for 15 sec with 1 health missing. cooldown 25 sec after deactivation need to use 7 sec after killing or hacking someone translocator resets time. you keep shield and health when you come out of copy cat back in to sombra if you came out as the reaper from above you would be a 249 health sombra with 50 shield. there is a one sec cast time.

(reason cool and a new layer to sombras kit)

Gun falloff decreased by 40%.

(reason gun sucks)

final thoughts i think this would be a good thing and would make her kit better its not game breaking her ult is maybe a little strong but i want to hear from you on meta implications fixes to this sombra and if you would play her or not i think this would be sick and i would play sombra alot more she is really bad in the current game and just got a “rework” its more like a nerf i dont play sombra but i do think she is cool and want more than a hack doing everything in her kit because right now her gun is bad and all she has is a hack but it is so effective for ult shutdown and cooldown shutdown its just not fun to play against or play in my opinion i think it would be cool all the sudden someone gets hacked then you turn around and get one or 2 shots off on the sombra but then they turn into a rein or something as there team pushes so many possibility’s tell me what you think .

Her hack should continue to counter cooldown abilities. There are many abilities that easily counter ultimates such as shield bash, charge, D.Va’s delete, charge, flashbang, Doomfist’s punch, hook and Mei’s wall.

Ult charge from shield packs is OP at low level Overwatch because then Sombra has an EMP for every team fight.

Decreasing her ult uptime by 40% would make her very hard to use outside of a tram built around her. So in solo que she would be almost impossible to use.

If invisibility had no cool down then she wouldn’t be punished for being found, and she should be punished for being found.

Turning into the enemy character adds unnecessary complications to her character (too many players to balance).

Her falloff is meh, her real issue is high spread.

I like the idea of just removing her from the game.

I agree with some things your saying invisibility would get a 3 sec cool down and kick her out of it if she gets in 2m.

Just Remove her, Make life easier

What if hacks makes your screen glitch for 3 seconds.
That seems a nice alternative and EMP could stay as is.

You don’t play Sombra, do you

I just realized this is a necro thread lmao.
