The way Sombra is in Overwatch 2 is a little broken. She was already just all around a better version of Tracer in the first game, there was no reason to buff her- especially as much as she has been buffed. The infinite invisibility and ability to hack super fast while invisible is not okay. If she as much as looks at you when you activate your ultimate, the ultimate vanishes and you lose your charge. She doesn’t contribute to being a flank as much as she should now, as all people tend to do is do small burst damage and then camp the nearest healing packs. She was already a very very solid DPS, and she was just all around better than Tracer. The way she is now is just a menace to Overwatch.

Tbf she’s significantly less annoying than OW1. But yeah, she still seems to be quite obnoxious and annoying to deal with. But I’d take OW2 sombra any day of the week over OW1 sombra.
Sadly, zenyatta still seems to get wrecked by OW2 sombra, just as he did by OW1 sombra. But there’s no more stunlock from DPS doomfist at least.

Dps Doomfist had no stun since 10 months. If you mean punch stun ok yes remove that and give back dps doom and nerf punch damage to 0 and gundamge by 50%.
I do feel like EMP is a bit strong right now. The rest of her kit is alright. But EMP is a mostly unavoidable 40% loss of health that can easily swing a fight.
Now that Hack is back to a flat 4 second cooldown regardless of what you use it on I think they should reintroduce the “interruption” cooldown. They removed it because having to wait 8 seconds for getting tickled sucked big time, but now that you can hack while invis, on top of the massive buff it got (8s of universal wallhacks + damage buff), AND less shields to block them, you should absolutely have to wait 4 seconds if it gets interrupted. She gets way too much value and her only real counter is playing far outside her range
You are actually joking right??? His punch was a stun and always has been
She is not invis while hacking, she becomes visible during and for a short time after it lands. And honestly i don’t think people quite know what they are asking for when wanting it reverted back to the old Sombra, the old five second silence hack would be far more powerful in the current way they have everyone reworked.
She’s only shortly “Detected”, hardly enough time to catch a glimpse of her before you’re already hacked. But yea I don’t think she should be totally reverted, but definitely tuned back. Some people aren’t reasonable with their ideas of balance
Sombra as a hero is inherently bad for the game, Hack should only be for EMP and maybe health packs, rework her
The damage bonus on hacked targets needs a reduction for sure! Was playing matches as her tonight and just nearly instantly deleted a discorded tank.
Yeah she needs to be adjusted so less skilled players have a better chance.
