Sombra has had 99% pick rate from my 30+ games

I don’t mind the occasional Sombra picks, but clearly Blizzard screwed up here when Sombra is being picked in nearly every game I’ve had this season. Even more than Juno.

As a support main I won’t lie, I nearly one trick Kiriko but this season has me pretty much one tricking her rn because of Sombra. Still have to worry about D.va nuking my health bar as well unfortunately.

They shouldn’t have reworked her. Pre-rework she was only occasionally picked, and almost exclusively played by Sombra mains.

Now she’s a go-to pick for dps players.

But when you got those Sombra mains they were effectively dead weight to their team and translocator was essentially a get out of jail free card. I feel like if they removed the bonus on virus from hacked targets she’d be much more bearable to play against.

You shouldn’t rework the hero because some players are bad at playing them.

She somehow is now beating Tracer and Genji for top pick…which is impressive…and scary.

I mentioned this in another thread but maybe someone else can confirm:

I feel like Tracer (one of the few viable dps counters to Sombra) got a stealth nerf against her.

I used to be able to take a Sombra head on and kill her over and over until she swaps. Now, Sombra seems to be able to continue her Hack through Tracer’s Blink. I’ll Blink away mid hack like I’ve always done, only now it seems like I’m getting hack applied anyway when i come out of the Blink, making future blinks while dueling difficult to pull off.

Anyone else having that problem of Blink not stopping the hack from taking effect?

I’ve personally found things a bit more delayed from time to time than usual. But, I chalked that up to Internet. Anyway. I don’t think that interaction got changed but rather game is laggy.
