"Sombra is being played on Contenders so she's fine"

I don’t know how a Sombra being used as a playable spectator/emp bot that can’t do much in any other way is fine to people.

If Sombra’s fine then where is she in comp? Where is she anywhere? That adjustment sure worked wonders because I can’t find Sombra on any winning teams in games me and my friends have played.

I prefer to use the word viable. She is viable by definition. That has always been one of her problems. Not great in solo queue, amazing if not the best when played with fully coordinated teams. Not much you can do about it without a full rework which likely predicates taking away some of her most unique tools.

I agree. She is viable. Doesn’t mean she isn’t a bad character by design. She’s only ever been used in pro matches as an EMP bot because trying to pull off a hack is often suicide in those games.

She needs to be changed from the ground up.

Contenders are just pretenders and they don’t matter to me. Until they make it to the big stage with the BIG BOYS and GIRL, they are irrelevant to me.

Teamwork? What is that exactly?
Without communication, Sombra’s winrate will plummet. WITH communication, Sombra is very strong.
You can’t buff/nerf that.

Sombra is fine.
As long as they fix her bugs.

TOP sombra players agree on this.

No, they dont.

people are just starting to talk about her, she also is one of the highest skill cap hero’s give it time, meta’s always trickle down.

i have been rocken her for to days now, last match i got 9 k damage and 51 hacks, we in there…

pick rate’s are one of the most useless stats to go by. just cus she is not played does not mean she isn’t good, she counters more then half the meta right now.

Actually, you can.

Better indicator for hacked enemies would do a lot to make Sombra better. It’s easier to focus hacked enemies when people actually see who’s hacked.

they buffed that already didnt they, they have a giant orgy red skull over their head also purple lines during the hack a sound q, the player should be calling it…what do you need!

the clouds open up,a beam of golden light comes down from the heavens onto the hacked target and GOD! him self says “HAMMONED IS HACKED”

The skull only shows up for a brief moment when the hack lands before disappearing and the only indicator is some faint dotted lines randomly going around their body. The skull should stay on the enemy until the hack wears off.

Fitzy himself stated that this isn’t a buff. Yes.
But he also stated that she would be fine as long as her bugs got fixed. Only the bugs.

And nothing there states anything about her not being fine.

After being in F tier since launch , having a hero ‘‘buffs’’ be the same/worst is not acceptable

It’s not a buff. It never was supposed to be one either.
It was to make her easier for beginners to play.
And that worked as intended.

Her being f tier is because of bugs and hard to play.

He also suggested shortening her reload time or make her reload upon translocating. Also having the lowest damage per game stat out of all damage Heroes even lower than Zenyatta despite people swearing her damage is fine.

You are wrong.

“I was a little surprised with the feedback online where people thought it was an overall nerf,” Goodman said. “We gave her a lot of buffs and a lot of nerfs at the same time. The Sombra changes are a lot about giving her more flexibility in how she plays, and that flexibility gives her a lot more power.”

Geoff in his curious mind was tryng to give her a buff.

yes because only god can save sombra players who refuse to communicate but want to play a hero who requires highest level of communication.

Nice to see that you can read.
