I think he’s got too much health in 6v6 and his mines last WAY too long. That said, I love his design. High skill, nothing like any of the other heroes.
Hack, virus, uzi… and he’s rolled away. It’s really not enough
It just takes team awareness to effectively counter him (just like every other hero)
And honestly, Junk traps work better than hack imo. Throw a discord orb on him too and watch him swap
Haha not that way but if you gonna put something in front of his name than it should be turd.
You’re doing the lord’s work. Bless you child and thank you for your service

Sombra isn’t a good counter. Especially now because he has a perk to give himself a Zarya bubble.
If anyone is a counter, it’s Mei. She can wall him off and interrupt his escape, but then they requires your team to follow up. But if your team starts to close in on him, he can give himself Adaptive Shields based on how many people are near him, to survive…
I think he just needs to be looked at and re-examined. This doesn’t feel right. He has a straightforward answer for basically everything. And his perks just give him increased damage so he’s even more obnoxious.

Sombra was a good ball counter in OW1. In OW2 she really doesn’t do anything – at least not to good ball players. A 1 sec hack is a minor interrupt at which point he can get back into ball form and roll away before taking any notable amount of damage. And now with perks, he can mitigate these even further with a personal barrier that can completely prevent being hacked and extra health from medkits.

Respectfully calling him Wrecking Ball that’s a good start.
Doesn’t always work sadly, a lot of times I get DPS and Tanks you’d swear they were looking through paper towel tubes because their level of awareness is just…non-existent. Even if you ping ‘I need help!’ or the enemy’s location, they just continue bouncing back and forth as if they believe that’s how you dodge incoming fire while shooting towards an enemy on the other side of the country, and then running half way back to spawn when they finally get nicked by a stray bullet.
I’m a Plat/Diamond dealing with this often enough it’s infuriating. Where are my teams of players that act like they know how to play a video game???
Half the time a good ball ends up on the enemy team, I have to play Moira to avoid getting gunned down or dial it to 1,000 as Ana and hope I nail every sleep dart. It’s either that or try and stay above everything as Lucio, riding the walls. I have to constantly disengage from fights because my DPS want to just shoot at something out of their reach all day or pump damage into the Tank in such a way that it basically gets instantly healed.
IDK ask Ana…
since 2016.
I feel like this would solve over half the issues in the game, but alas.

I’d say this is all you can do then if your team can’t deal with him. As long as you make sure your personal stats are good you’ll improve and climb, regardless of win or loss. I find Brig to be the best support to play against him rn since she is good at sustaining herself and disrupting his annoying playstyle. Moira works too if you only want to worry about staying alive and being able to get away.
I don’t think he’s that bad to deal with, he’s strong cause of the new perk and I do think he needs some slight nerfs. But other than that o think he’s pretty okay.

Probably supports that are unaware.
and poor bann choices aren’t his fault.

Give wrecking ball a stamina system so he can’t just use his mobility unlimitedly.
