THANK YOU. I don’t how hard this is to understand.
And the buffs were obviously too much.
To merit compensation, a hero would have to be balanced, then nerfed.
Not overpowered, then nerfed.
Well, she was everything but “obviously” overbuffed. All her stats show balanced to still niche pick.

I mean the buffs were debatably too much. There’s nothing making your opinion obvious. Seeing as pick and win rate didn’t increase
I’d argue that at high ranks it did, but because she’s a complex character it would have taken longer for low ranks to pick up on it.
Especially since she’s been throwing-tier for so long.
Sooo…why was there compensation for her initial buffs then if she was throwing tier?
Her stats were continuesly falling even before the nerf. She never reached Genji and Tracer heights in pickrate.

Like I said, nothing is obvious about your argument. Just because people were loud about it doesn’t mean it was happening all the time
…Except for the fact that a hacked target can actually continue to move and defend themselves. Sleep dart also has the ability to completely shut down transformation based ultimates (e.g. tac visor, bastion tank, genji blade) whereas hack does not. I don’t think thats a remotely fair comparison to make.

MY GOD PEOPLE SHUT UP. she is fine.
I don’t think the devs would want Sombra to become “general purpose” tier.
She’s more analogous to the TF2 spy, with a hack instead of a backstab.
I think his primary point is that Moira does not have lock-on (which is a true statement that many people don’t realize), not that it’s mechanically intensive. Moira’s beam disengages the moment it loses LoS to the enemy.
I have to disagree, though - good aim on moira still has a large benefit. At 50 damage/sec the difference between 40-50% accuracy and 70-80% accuracy is a lot of damage.
I do, however, agree that her aim is nowhere close to zarya and is far more forgiving.
I played a few rounds last night and can say that these changes did not impact me at all. I didn’t even notice them. Even the LoS change was not even as noticeable as I would have thought. Granted, it was only a couple matches and I don’t think I played against any tracers 
She wasnt. There were still maps where she was good and some where she was bad at. Of course you can make her work even then, but you can do that with literally every hero. Statswise she was never even a top 10 pick. Even backed up by Jeff himself.
Sombra is perfectly okay now. She’s fair, balanced, and fun.

I actually dont feel different … oh wait I was never braindead Sombra.
She is still impactful as you hack from the side or from High Ground.

Even Fitzy who is a top 500 Sombra feels these nerfs immediatly and even argues that her hack was better prepatch when it had 0.8 second cast time. Is Fitzy now braindead?

I just wish they would fix Sombra’s bugs.

I dunno who is Fitzy. For WorstSombra is fine.
You’re everything wrong with this community in a nutshell
