Thoughts? Personally I love new Sombra, she’s powerful and super fun to play, she might need a slight nerf but her damage output and ability to completely render heroes like Lucio and Genji useless is extremely good. Am I the only one who loves the new Sombra?
She’s not at all that powerful, there is no way sombra can carry games or actually help win fights when your team sucks, sombra has no dps power, with a bad team using sombra it’s the team as going in as 5vs6, going on stealth behind enemy and hack someone barely has any impact or EMP uses. Outside of OWL sombra won’t have much impact

Sombra is a hero that does not need a straight up nerf, even now.
If you nerf her hack, buff something else or else she’s going to fall right back into bottom tier.(Which she currently isn’t far from anyway)
Overall, I like the changes, I think it’s a step in the right direction. I’d be okay if they DID nerf her hack speed but buffed her Invisibility to compensate with either an additional second or two on Invis or a damage threshold to prevent a D.Va or random mini damage from knocking her out of it.

My only concern is her constant wallhacks on anyone not at full health. She can easily spot supports most of the time, and she was already a pain to play aggaints.
You haven’t even played her with the changes…
I don’t really like how fast hack goes off tbh. It’s also causing some problems like targets being hacked even when behind cover or hack going on cd while the target is not hacked, when you stop.
Everything else seems fine.

It’s great for me. Hack speed might be a little too fast though. Hack disabling things like wall ride and hover is great. Extra translocate time is great and the spread reduction is a godsend.

Not a sombra fan though .
After the changes , she still weak lol
Plus I don’t like her play style , Drop E , invisible , run behind enemy and spray , either get a kill steal or teleport back to where the E is set and do the routine again and again . OMG IT like doing a job instead of calling it a game play .
Ummm, what? Sombra can basically one clip any 200hp hero for free, her hack is instant and should basically be on cooldown 100% of the time, and it pretty much deletes half of the roster.

Hack speed and hack length need a nerf

I haven’t been having many problems playing against her and she shuts down some heroes who desperately needed to be brought down a peg or two.
Not really strong all that did was put people with passives on sombra’s level she still plays the same tho
She is not that strong. Her damage is much lower compared to tracer. So sick of this spam/trash sombra-threads
Sombra’s playstyle has changed massively and she is borderline overpowered because of the Hack speed change.

The healthpack nerf shifted my playstyle quite a bit.

I’m still pretty bad on her, my stats at the end of the game haven’t really changed compared to before but working around the new priorities have definitely changed how she moves. There’s nothing here that’s something she couldn’t do before tho.
It is only lower if you’re inside of Tracer’s effective range. Sombra can maintain her damage for twice the distance.
I play alot of sombra and when she came out i gotta try her new playstyle, i started off just doing the same ol same, enemy back line ult farming, EMP etc…
But i realized how powerfull the new hack and 20 sec translocator is.
First of, the 20 sec translocator os amazing, throw in a health pack and i have 20 sec, on the team fight to get out, heal up and come back, previously i ran out of translocator time and i was dead.
The new hack, man the new hack… i realized that sombra is CRAZY powerfull now to defend her OWN backline, im no pro, and i dont play against a pro level of coordination, but in my plat, low diamond experience the hack destroys a dive attempt, you gotta be ready, but there are easily enough oportunities to hack the genji, and he is dead.
Tracer on the other hand, after lots of encounters i noticed you can get the hack on her during her reload animation, you gotta be quick and ready but is consistently do able.
So i started playing her as a defender and then, when their attackers are dead, you just pick the enemy team one by one, hack is crazy powerful as is her ultimate
If you’re doing that, then you’re playing her wrong.
Right or wrong , I don’t care . You can think whatever you want .
Her play style is boring that what I think .
Wallhacks still only occur under 50% hp. You now see health bars of enemies under 100%
