Sombra being utility is the reason that they should’ve had her in defense instead of DPS before the categories merged.
Sombra is a waste of a hero slot when you can’t kill anyone. What is the point of seeing low health enemies when a Zenyatta, Sombra’s easiest target, can still delete you?
If they won’t buff the damage (by making hacked enemies take more damage) then they should reduce her spread more.
Sombra already has enough weaknesses. Any damage she takes will render her kit useless. Translocator can be destroyed now too.
I think it goes back to the fact that Brigitte is in the meta. Her armor just destroys Sombra’s dps, on top of Triple Support being a thing. Right now the only reliable dps have high spike damage. Sombra isn’t the only damage hero struggling look at Soldier 76 for example. Hanzo, Widow, Junkrat and Pharah can chip through all the healing, where Soldier kinda just tickles like Sombra.
Yup it really would.
The problem I, and many other Sombra mains have, is that her flow is just too clunky with what her role is supposed to be.

Ya her new stealth feels super clunky. I miss the 75% speed.
I wouldn’t have any issues if Sombra could destroy armor as well as shields.
It isn’t what an EMP would do, but an actual EMP would instantly kill most omnic heroes.

That would definitely make her an effective counter to this meta. There is way too much armor right now.
Maybe stealth CD can be halved when you stay still. Sounds a little stupid…
But their really isn’t any need for that now that stealth will be infinite.
I just feel like the new Sombra kinda just throws away the urgency of her old kit. If they had a 75% speed boost for the first ~6 seconds of stealth it would make initiating feel a lot better. One of the main problems is Sombra is already slow at getting things done and she feels even slower now.
