Sombra in lore doesn't feel smart enough

She was in her cinematic.

Then Masquerade was released - surprise, Reaper knows everything
Then Zarya comics comes - surpsise, even though she hacked that useless omnic and lure them into a trap - Zarya catches her and tells her real name

When will Sombra actually outplay anyone

I still cannot believe the girl from the bakery knew her same. Like, seriously, how? Why? It’s not like the two of them were acquaintances, and why the daughter? Why not the mother?

It feels like such a letdown and anticlimatic when the big reveal of Sombra’s name came from a girl who most likely had no connection or relation to Sombra and how Sombra, someone who is supposed to be mysterious, somehow let her name be known to a random child of all people

I heard they are going to just kill her next too.

I think she was well known in that town, (Dorado) and maybe people saw her in places around the place, so [Insert the girl’s name] could tell Zarya the last place the town had seen her, since it was indeed in the news that Sombra was sneaking around hacking things.

What lore lol overwatch lore is so weak it might as well not be there

Yeah, asking a random kid in mexico and inmediately knowing her name… i dont think she has any chance of hidding from the eye.

But if she was already well known in town, why didn’t the mother of the daughter, the baker, knew about her? Or anyone else in town? Why her, why the girl specifically?

Also, since Sombra had already began her hacking career at a young age, I would assume she would keep her identity a secret, seeing as how making your real name known like that is potentially dangerous

But wasnt she already in dorado when she was discovered by the eye? Why keep hiding in the same location?

Yeah… Now that I look at it, it does seem weird… You proved my point wrong, Kyaw and Rilgar55. (And that’s okay.) I don’t feel like I can answer those questions. :')

Yeah, Sombra have had a very rough time in the lore recently.

Her cool lore moment in the cinematic was undercut by the comic saying Talon knew about her double crossing all along and Doomfist basically think it’s cute.

Zarya, a front line soldier, outsmarts her by asking a random kid for help. Whelp.

Sombra being portrayed as a fool who think she’s smarter than everyone when in reality they see right through her isn’t really the lore direction I was hoping for.
