In OW2, all DPS had their stuns removed which means Sombra cannot stun Doom.
She is now a channeled ability counter, like Hogs Breather or Orisa Fortify.
Hacking insta cast abilities or abilities with low cooldown is pointless.
Very outdated thinking, imagine if Lucio had his Boop knockback removed and Lucio mains never got the memo so now you have these guys going for enviromentals looking like a silly goose.
Sombra is quite literally one of dooms hardest counters besides Ana
You can hack while invis so all you need to do is wait for his power block. Most dooms use it to stall for time until they get their punch back so getting kicked out of it is a death sentence
Doom is a sitting duck if he gets hacked in OW2. He’s got no off-tanks to bail him out, one second without any of his abilities opens him up to a lot of focus fire and puts a lot of pressure on his supports. He’ll likely survive the engagement but he’ll be forced out the fight - which is not ideal for his team.
i messed up doom tanks quite a bit with sombra in the beta. not only can you hack him while invisible but if done right you can hack him constantly to keep pressuring him when he tries to front-line. not to say that i countered him in every game but i usually made his life a bit harder and sometimes solo’d him if no healer was around
roadhog tho on the other hand isnt as vunerable to sombra anymore and i usually tried to stay away from him unless he used hook already or im team focus firing at him. more scary than ow1 hog going against him as sombra
This is false
someone could write a whole book explaining why this is wrong, but i’ll just simply say ratio
Countering Doom is about the only thing she still does well.
Just go Zen and discord him, he’ll be melted within seconds.
As has been mentioned. Hacking in stealth gives her a lot of counter play. She probably shouldn’t 1v1 him all the time, as she is used better as an assassin and scout, but being able to turn off his block and getting bonus damage for the time means he’ll probably be running away from her more often then not.
Orisa Fortify isn’t channel its transformation it doesn’t cancel it, but it does Cancel dooms new channeled power block prevent him from gaining charge which i would imagine is a pretty good counter to him preventing him from upgrading the effects of rocket punch
Solo tanks should’ve have hardcounters. Period. In fact the very idea of hardcounters likely originated on ‘bring your child to work’ day.
If the enemy pics Sombra in OW2 you get off Doom or your match is about to be ruined. She basically makes Doom stand around and do nothing.
Imagine if mei had her freeze remov- oh wait that happened…
Thank GOD.
Toxic skilless character that removed the identity of the game with her kit.
The less Sombra, the better.
Feasting on Sombra’s corpse right now.
I mean they’re both terribly designed heroes that ruin the game and seem to cater explicitly to low-key sociopaths so I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but the less hard counters in the game the better. It REALLY shouldn’t have taken them this long to implement these changes.
Yup, sure, such a skill-less hero.
lmao. Whatever you say.
Hack is just in general a lot less powerful and I’d say Sombra is actually worse off in the build we saw. I hope they do things to help her outside of increasing the silence.
Hack is still good against Doom, but you have to be reactive with it instead of proactive.
You see him Powerblock, you can hack him and he becomes much more vulnerable. If you hack him proactively, it doesn’t last long enough to actually mean anything.
