Why is everyone so enamored with this ‘argument’, yet when tank players point out that having to deal with two Ana cooldowns that can instantly win a fight every single game isn’t fun, suddenly it’s ok because ‘tanks can play around her cooldowns’?
Why is it bad that other players have to constantly have Sombra on their minds whenever she’s in a game - but at least if they do so effectively, they likely kill her - but when tank players have to constantly have Ana on their minds every single game, because of Ana’s 100% pick rate, and this to at best negate her cooldowns, it’s not a problem?
What are you talking about? Sombra is still the way she is because nobody cares about that argument. You could sooner claim that Hog was OP and that would get the developers to trip over themselves to nerf him…
The difference is that Ana is fun to play as, with, and against. Most people respect Ana, even if the forums would beg to differ. And very few people respect Sombra, even if the Sombra mains have convinced you otherwise. That’s why. I ain’t evah lie.
I’d say it’s just because the Sombra hate is more unanimous. Also, the changes that they’ve made to Ana have seemed to noticeably adjust her pickrate a bit, it was exhaustingly high before.
Because I care about fun when playing video games. It’s not really an argument, it’s just a statement of fact. “I am not having fun playing against this character.”
Not really, that’s why tanks only sleep for like 3 seconds and got gigabuffed across the board a few weeks ago. But also yes, you can indeed play around Ana’s cooldowns reasonably well. If Ana had the ability to be invisible permanently that might change the story.
I will also tell you a secret people all keep talking about how the overwatch killer finals died right or lost players.
While it had issues like a lot especially they had no proper modes etc still gameplay was solid and destruction.
It failed so spectacularly cause of their obsession with sombra.
Invisible people with a one shot shot gun and tracer’s mobility.
Killed the game in a month.
And this game had timed invis on meter and detection tools, but idiots added a grenade that also made people invisible so you can practically perma stealth.
Like i remember this match I was on top of a roof and all rooftops were empty just invisible leprechauns all around.
This whole invisiblity garbage needs to go, every game that pushed it failed hard despite much better stuff overall like gits.
Stealth should be earned like splintercell or solid snake not through garbage like invisibility.
What am I fool to crouch walk as tracer genji to get stealth
While you garbo around with extra speed when invisible.
Like I’m good at dealing with stealth nonsense a lot due to generally having played games like gits etc but it’s not fun, someone coming home to chill doesn’t need this stress on them and certainly nit teammates who can’t do it either , your casual audience doesn’t want that.
And if enough players agree with that the devs might change it (as they did with the sleep nerf).
There are things that detract from the “aggregate fun” of the player base and things that add to it. In my opinion Sombra detracts from it, but that’s just an opinion. Though the QP game I just played was a decent point of evidence for that lol small excerpt from a looong log that resembles what I see more often than not:
Not many people like Sombra (as it seems to me, but I might be wrong, of course).
If they upped the detection range for Sombra she wouldn’t be so oppressive to play against. Even be harder to play as it would require what you have between your shoulders…
Ana can be tough to face, especially if it’s a good Ana but here is why I don’t want her deleted into oblivion and forgotten forever.
You can see her, you can use your abilities against her, you can get sleeped but it would happen by a skill shot that you can shield or suck or generally avoid.
Lastly, she has to heal so she’s not up your butt all the time.
She’s not fun to play against as a tank. She’s one of the most annoying and frustrating heroes to play against in fact. She is to tank what sombra is to supports (although sombra is also hated by tanks).
She actively drives tank players away from the role. You know, the role in which they need more players. Yes, that role.
