I have been starting to play Sombra lately because the new shieldfest/stuns meta, I like her and also trying of making her my main DPS. (I am Flex player tho)
I use to play her going behind the enemy backline, hacking the obvious targets and telling the team. + hacking their medpacs and trying to finish low health targets.
But it seems yesterday I was having a bad day and doing awfull with her. This season I had bad luck placing as solo queue going 3/7. And yesterday after a match the enemy team asked “lol, was Sombra throwing? Must we report her?”. But I couldn’t read my team reply on time, because I am one of those which quit once the “Defeat/Victory” pop to save time. After that I logged out inmediately and didnt play again the whole day fearing of reports and end up banned.
Am I playing her wrong? Should I quit playing/learning her and stick with my mains? What should I do?
I am honestly looking for advices because after how I have been doing lately I am starting to fear an Accidental Ban for “Trolling” when I am actually trying to help. And TBH I dont want to smurf…
Tips would be appreciated.
Well, you need to be careful with new Sombra to not stay too long is stealth.
I still hold myself on the 6s from before the changes only rarely I wait longer for a Zen to shoot out his charged shot (or similar situations) to engage.
Then you will need to learn the timing of TL to dodge mass dmg (dva bomb, Doom ult, etc.) your shortly invincible when using TL so you can use that. You will learn it by trying and failing or atleast so did I xD.
But with the reports and flaming you probably will need to live She is still a bad hero even if the meta favors her.
Tilling teammates will always flame the Sombra if you played well or not I learned that the hard way xD.
I mean I hade multiple people telling me to kill myself before we even where out of the Spawn just because I played Sombra…
And if you’re a meta player I suggest learning something else She is not worth the effort you need to put in to learn her. Play her if you love her playing her and her Playstyle.
Well, the only thing you can really learn without just playing is how her Hack works: All Heros which Passives are Hackable
Or maybe her bugs and what you need to be careful of: Even more Sombra Bugs in 1.26/1.27/1.28 [With Video's]
I’m just gonna say this.
Sombra’s not a pick that always work.
Don’t pick Sombra if it’s not needed. Don’t pick Sombra if there is no follow up.
That’s litterally the only thing everyone seems to be forgetting about her.
It’s not the “to go” pick.
The best way to learn her is to create a tryhard group for qp. You’ll have teamplay and people actually trying but won’t get reported.
