To be fair she can reliably one clip people but that’s cuz he clip is huge
Usually it’s not reliable since other players tend to shoot back, usually with better weapons. If i die or have to bail on a fight the other player is typically down to 1 health bar, so any buff to her DPS should be enough for me to win a lot more fights.
Start? Have you kept track of the number of doomfist threads lately?
She got nerfed over and over because of it. She was even supposed to get one when she ults and they had to take that out, then it was still too much and they made her a stationary target so she can be killed while ressing.
In the lower tiers especially where Mercy’s took half the game to get their ults, they would only use it to res a couple of teammates, so that’s around four people per game.
When she got her res every 30 seconds regardless of how she was actually performing, the res counters spiked. In the higher tiers she barely changed, in the lower tiers, she was a ressing machine.
Same. I picked her up specifically to kill tanks. I know what goes in their heads while they try to back away from me not realizing there’s an icewall behind them.
Just a tip, if there’s a Mei on defense, don’t let your tank get more than a meter in front of you. I guarantee she’s got her gun aimed at the door frame just waiting for Rein to cross.
I’m normally against a damage buff, but after the recent round of nerfs, i’m starting to want an increase in rate of fire. If you couldn’t kill in one clip (3 seconds) you can push your luck and reload (2 seconds) and try to get the 1hp with the last 1 second of the hack. It was a big risk hoping you’d survive the 1.5 second reload and hope your RNG gun favors you.
Now if you’re not going to be able to one clip, you absolutely must teleport out.
I mean, sure in a 1 on 1 I guess. But she also gets to pick her engagements more freely.
I like Sombra.
Playing as, with, and even against her, i find it fun and pleasingly challenging.
Still think she shouldn’t be able to rehack somebyd who’s already hacked, but other than that she’s fine, a little underpowered even.

I hope you are ready for an angry horde of Sombra mains and fanboys.
Also I really like Sombra, fun to play and I think she is pretty hot.
I don’t think I can take you seriously after that first sentence. If you’re gonna talk about a certain character ofc people who play it will reply to you.
True, though you will also have people who will reply just to say how trash the hero is. Which I don’t agree with.
But yea maybe the first sentence is unnecessary.
Basically I am trying to say that many people like Sombra. Sure she can be annoying, but she is not the worst hero in the game.
Not the worst. But not balanced either. I agree if the meta changed she wouldn’t be absolute garbage. But now she is. The meta doesn’t favor her and her kit is underpowered atm

Especially when she is on your team. I had a Sombra literally take 3 minutes to build her ult. It took 3 minutes for her to do 500 damage.
I thought it was obvious that I meant the current iteration of resurrect.
Takes more than 500. Around 1200~
The BS I found with old Hanzo was his instant tank deleting by looking at your feet with scatter arrow.
With Sombra I at least know I can make her retreat affording me the (moral) win, deal enough damage to stop her hacking from working or revealing her and she only becomes effective after EMP with a good follow up.
Which in some cases can be useless depending on passives and the enemy team comp.
Believe me I know that. However in some situations it can’t be as easily avoided depending on the map and situation.
Also I’m not the one always playing the tank xD
Edit: this includes a Mei on my team as well
Probs way more tbh ngl
You get 5 ult charge per second.
EMP takes 1400 charge.
180 (3 minutes) * 5 = 900.
That’s 500 points left. Damage to ult charge is a 1 : 1 ratio.
Agree, getting two nerfs and no buffs is kind of a joke.
Furthermore the nerfs they gave her felt very unnecessary.
I am not the right person to ask about balancing Sombra, but I feel a buff would be very good for her.
I do not wish for Sombra to become the new Sym.
No? test it out ingame without passive ult charge. Takes around 2.8-2.9 clips
Well atleast we can agree on that. (Tho I still hate infinite invis reee)

I dunno. To me, sombra’s damage isn’t really the issue. Like, if people want the power moved away from hack, then she either needs another way to get more assists, or she needs to be able to take better advantage of getting the drop on opponents, and should be able to go the extra mile to sneak up on people.
Or double down on the translocator being her primary ability and buff that somehow.
To me, she’s between three roles that no other character really tries to be. She’s an assist only alley oop passer for teammates(hack), she’s a stealth scout who tries to get the drop on enemies, and she’s also a strong initiator who has no mid fight moves.
They should pick one of those things and do that
OO OOPS I JUST GOT IT LOL. But yeah spychecking and shields. Also your sombra’s emp might have been cancelled in the mid of those 3 minutes.
