Moira is also going to take and EXTREME hit with these changes, especially because she only works in deathball and that will become almost entirely negated, especially if there is a Torb present. I’m pretty sure she will drop to one of the lowest pick rates in supports next to Brig.
Her Pickrate in both GM and overall.
Moria seems to be only strong in lowerranks and Brig is not close to the lowest (Ignore Sym)
Disgusting how long they’ve left Sombra like this, honestly.

I would like to mention that Sombra may have a weak dps but she makes up for that greatly in her hack ability and EMP. These are probably the strongest abilities in the game and can easily cause a team fight to be won instantly.
P.s Sombra can hack passives so if she can hack a pharah then free elimination, solider is just squishy etc etc.
She’s in a good spot in my opinion and wouldn’t need looking at after all something has to hard counter her hack and why not torbjorn? I mean people discuss how annoyingly hard and irritating it is to interrupt hack and get hacked. I think she will be fine and just have to have a lot more awareness to what is going on instead of holding out the hack in someone’s direction…
They are only and ONLY strong with a Team to back it up without that they are completely useless also the game makes it really hard to actually follow these up on how hard they are to see.
Also something like Graviton is way stronger.
They are not free eliminations they are simply reduced to a fair fight with Sombra (a gunfight where she has the weaker weapon) If you got Solo killed by a Sombra you simple got outplayed (at least as DPS and as Not Doomfist)
Only good in Proplay is not a good spot…
And I don’t have anything against a Counter it’s just that she is already bad enough.
(Hope I didn’t sound too harsh I tend to when talking about Sombra but I don’t mean to so I’m Sorry if I where rude)

I play her a lot too, I play her in comp. I play her in arcade and I play her in quick play.
I can easily dominate a 1v1 without hacking. It’s the game of playing sombra as a assassin. Wait till they’re low and retreat and then destroy them. She doesn’t feel bad to play (for me). Only the damage drawback on hack is annoying but that is there to stop her quick cast time.
Honestly Sombra players complain almost as much as Mercy players!
(That was a joke…)

I swear people have been saying “Sombra is good, people just don’t know how to play her, you need to communicate” since the day she was released.
Do we really need to be in Diamond and up to get any use out of this character? Can’t she be balanced to be viable for everyone instead of just a small fraction of the playerbase?

Then you outplayed your enemy great…
That very very ineffective… Do you wait in stealth for them to go low? because
- Hunting a Low HP target is not a 1v1 but a (How many people however damaged the enemy) v1
- Waiting is Stealth for something makes the game 5v6 aslong as you stay in it.
I personly don’t think its annoying the bugs that random breaks it are worst.

True, I just don’t think she needs buffs because she has such strong utility in the form of hack and emp.
She got hack buffed and is often considered extremely unfun and annoying to play against (sombra surprise rework!) If they were to make it better or easier to use it would get very annoying very fast not to mention oppressive af

I’ve got about 400 hrs on Sombra and am more than happy with where she is right now. She’s going to be fine
I don’t think just buffs would be a good idea.
We should nerf her too or she will because very Strong in Pro play. (We could just remove infinite Stealth and solve that Problem but Bliz and Reverting… yea…) But she needs some changes small once but she does need them.
(Just for example the all famous Sugar skulls and an increase in her base movement speed to match that of Tracer or Genji
If you want to nerf anything for that just nerf the Charge rate of her ult.)
True, a increase in ultimate charge would be a good trade for increased movement speed/damage.
And it’s vital they do fix the bugs with hack because that’s what let’s down her hack a lot of the time. Like her broken wrists bug

Thats a question of the rank your playing at accualy xD.
Till Gold She has the higher Pickrate and the higher Winrate in Acually all ranks xD
But yea Sym really is bad right now would like to see her get some use in Pro play.
The Sombra EMP bot/ Scoute still right now is really boring to watch sadly.
Yep, rip me the sombra/symmetra player whose stuck in GM because he used to play Mercy and supports but now prefers Dps but has the aim of a cold child.
I kid you not I’m stuck in Masters/Grandmasters when my dps gameplay is probably gold tier… I usually am the reason we loose or I get carried a lot of them time. I feel bad and usually just swap to moira, lucio or mercy…
Plz halp

No. They aren’t. People thought it would be, but it turned out to not be the case.
Everytime i meet a sombra in my team that doesn’t do the shotcalling, i do it for them, and we nearly always win, sombra’s good, really good, she only requires coordination and that’s it, and if the enemy’s more coordinated than you, you lose, it’s kinda the same as doomfist, if you punish him for getting in, he sucks, but punishing sombra’s way harder, since she never really “dies”, she only tps away.
