Its really painful to us as players that you want to be so supportive of this game that you want us to do whatever you say as developers but have a problem with the obvious when you claim you listen to the community. Of course you guys come up with skins, designs and maps but honestly, let this go down in history
Sombra being as hated as she is and the developers refusing to see it, yet let it continue on proves that either you cant accept reality or you want us to just be quiet and let it be. I have never EVER seen such avoidance by game creators as this when something that can be FIXED in less than a DAY isnāt.
You REMOVED MEI from the game once, remember that?
Yet you claim that sombra isnāt defined by what we think and what we are telling you. I dare say that even as CREATORS of Sombra that you arenāt dealing with what we deal with and I think that is where the connection is. You dont feel the disappointment that we do as players because honestly you developers do not CONNECT with us as players you only see as users of the game and therefore you are ABOVE US since you can wave your wand.
You care to an EXTENT but this is the one moment in history that it proves BEYOND a shadow of a doubt that you clearly ignore what you dont want to do and there are MANY MANY MANY players, people on social media and other platforms telling Sombra needs to be nerfed or even REMOVED but you just REFUSE to do it.
Its not a REWORK that is needed and you know it, its abilities that cause US to be frustrated by a character that can sneak up behind you that you canāt see coming, hack you and mess up your situation like ithe character does.
There is NOTHING , no amount of skill anyone can develop that can make them able to stop invisibility. A hack that actually canāt be stopped or blocked.
Until you remove the hack and remove her ability to walk around invisible then you again do not support your goal of ābalanceā that you keep on talking about.
Remove her hack and invisible or remove her from the game
Iām not going to look for the list again but we have hundreds upon hundreds of examples of them listening to the community
Need not look any further than 6v6, hero bans and map voting in past 6 months
They canāt do everything the community wants (i have my own list of long time requests that have never happened)ā¦.especially when the community often struggles to have a consensus on anythingā¦but suggesting they donāt listen is BS of the highest order
And as it pertains to sombra specifically theyāve already mentioned several times that changes are coming
To take it a step further on Sombra, she needs large scale identity changing alterations. That takes time.
It means first you need to theorize a plan. Then you need to test out and get the numbers right and make sure it plays how you want. Then after that you need to book a slot with the art and animation team so they can make everything needed (they just canāt take a task randomly thrown at them as they most assuredly have a schedule).
i think it has got to the point where sheāll have to. Feels like she canāt have invisiblity and hack anymore or sheāll just get banned 90%+ of the time lol.
I mean I donāt know that any future version of her wonāt get the same kind of treatment (she now has a stigma)ā¦.but I donāt think older versions of her get the current treatment sheās getting nowā¦.i think there is a place for her in the game
Thereās a hundred different ways they can go with herā¦.but i donāt want to see her not be sombra if that makes senseā¦her name literally means shadowā¦.and a cyber hacker or whatever is baked into the characterā¦removing either is basically deleting the character
Mei was removed because of a game breaking bug though right? Couldnāt she phase through ceiling and attack through walls. Like she actually was breaking the game. Thatās why she was removed. There is a huge difference between game breaking bug and iām annoyed by this hero. No hero has been removed because youāre annoyed by it. Changed absolutely. But not outright removed
Sombra needs rework, venture needs rework, freja needs nerf, mercy needs rework and overall damage reduction across the board is what I would like to see happen
If a character needs to be changed it should be changed. Whats the point of retaining identity if no one likes playing her or playing against her. Iām sure Blizzard will come up with a convincing rework and we are sending them mixed messages when we say that we donāt want her changed
I guess it depends on what people mean when they say identityā¦.the game has had a lot of reworks but I donāt think any of them have actually removed a characters āidentityā (even though weāve had roles changedā¦.i donāt want to see her kit changed to the point where sheās no longer recognizable as āsombraāā¦.and thereās plenty of room to work with there imho
Alternatively, they need to stop listening to the community. They never really get it right regardless. The difference would be negligible. BUT it would be their vision.
Doesnāt matter what they do to sombra. The community will still whine and cry that she needs to be changed.
Hell they cry and whine about every single character in this game. If they started listening to the community.
Genji would one tap
Doom would be back in dps
Pig would be bacon
Mei would have all her skills they took out (even though they took them away for a reason)
Mauga would still be overly broken
Hazard would have more
Sojourn would be useless
Widow would be a sniper no more cuz u all cry about headshots
Dva would no longer have her mech
Zarya would be buffed for no reason
Orisa would be buffed for no reason
All supports would no longer self heal or damage. they would be straight healers but even that would still make people cry saying Supports are to broken
Dps would have more dps passives
Tanks would be like a piece of paper
I mean I could go on but u get the picture. Sometimes they devs really need to stop listening to the big streamers and this community sometimes.
Because games like this will never be balanced.
Everyone is never gonna be happy about characters
There will always be favorite characters in game. (get over it if its not urs)
Might as well get over it. Sombra is annoying we get it. But she is so easy to deal with no matter how u want to spin ur victim card
