Will there EVER be a day that Sombra sees any bug fixes that she desperately needs…? With the new PTR update, Sombra can now throw her translocator off the map, and it will stick. This means, if Sombra translocates, she dies… so she has no escape or additional mobility outside of invis for 20s. That is almost outright death in a fight.
We don’t need a 30 millionth bug on her. She already has it where her hack breaks completely randomly for no reason at all, it’ll stop the animation while it hacks, sometimes going off and sometimes not, she does a 180 spin when translocating from spawn, hack will randomly switch the another target for no reason, hack will double or triple its cast time on a target for no reason (I tested this. I stared straight at a Tracer the entire time, never broke LoS in any way, and it took about 1.3s. It must’ve “broke” and redid the hack), EMP will occasionally not EMP targets, even within range (though, this one is rare), translocator doesn’t translocate to the location shown by the translocator, sometimes she won’t translocate at all, sometimes she won’t go invisible when you hit shift, but it’ll go on a .5s CD, same with hack, and so many more issues that basically make her unplayable. And now she has YET ANOTHER bug with translocator…
Blizzard, PLEASE fix Sombra someday… she is my favorite damage hero, and I feel like you just want her deleted from the game. It took nearly 2 years for any changes, and then she was destroyed again after just a week without PTR testing. Please SAVE SOMBRA.

Reinhardt has more. Look, I am not happy either but the overwath team are doing their best. I am sure they have plans for everything and can only get to so much at once.
I mean look. Reinhardt has bugs still in the game from 2 years.
They both have massive inconsistencies, but at least Reinhardt is still an extremely strong pick. Sombra has the lowest pick rate and win rate in the game. Reinhardt has the highest pick rate currently.

Did Blizzard ever acknowledge that the Reinhardt bugs exist? If they did, it would be nice if they said something about Sombra to.

Make a thread in the PTR bug forum. This isn’t the place for this.
Actually, it is. Because all of her other bugs have been in live since her release/her nerf. The ONLY bug here from PTR is translocator being able to be thrown off the map.
And why would Moira need to be a priority over a hero who has been out for almost 2 years as well?? (Responding to person above you) I guess the only thing I can think of is popularity. Sombra was FAR from OP before her nerf, but Sombra is an extremely oppressive hero, so people ACTUALLY playing against her made them realize her being anywhere near a meta pick is terribly unfun for the game.

The lack of PTR testing was utter BS in my opinion. They basically just chucked her into the dumpster fire because their “pro player” tracers were whining about how they were so frustrated by sombra. Buch of entitled spoiled players played a huge part in killing one of the funnest heroes cause blizzard caved in.

The other bugs were bad enough that they made her completely unreliable, but this? This one legitimately kills her. If this goes live, playing her will be legitimately throwing, coming from someone who loves her

Same… I don’t throw my translocator off the map too often, but when I do, it’s nice to have that immediate CD back. Not have to wait for 20s or just die.

I don’t remember the last time I lost a translocator, but after seeing this, I see why a cancel option would be really nice.

Fizty already created a topic about that specific bug in the PTR bug report forum.
My focus was more on all her bugs, rather than just the one. Plus, Fitzy has been trying for SO long to get her fixed, and it has yet to happen.
And he isn’t the only one unfortunatelly.
I’ve just resigned myself to wait because she seems to be at the bottom of their priorities right now. Went from maining her on a secondary account to just never playing her at all, you can still get picks but you have to work twice as much as another dps for half the results.

No.
The recent bug everyone discovered is asinine. If this goes live, I will legit uninstall the game.

There is no defending this.

I just love her playstyle so much that I refuse to give her up.
lol. Ok yea, that needs fixed. I cant imagine wanting to be on sombra, accidentally miss it and it falls of the side of Hanmura and I now have a "click this to die instantly’ button.
Sorry for you Sombra players out there. lol
Come and join the dark side, play Doomfist.
Maybe they just did that translocator change on purpose so Sombra mains can suicide even more easily and get reported even more so eventually they are all suspended and no one plays her anymore so they can delete her quietly. Someone said conspiracy?
Like, Im mad at this bug, and I main Lucio, who Sombra hard-counters.
I can’t imagine how the Sombra mains feel.
