Bronze and Silver ranks are already abandoning her, so there goes the âlower skill floorâ, âeasier for weaker playersâ myth.
She still has time management, it went absolutely nowhere because you need to manage time to participate in the match. It only feels like itâs gone because the timer pressure, such as it was, is gone. The reality is the match timer and the pace of the game are still the most important influence on her time management.
For what itâs worth my win rate has gone up, but in QP mostly. I donât feel like getting banned for playing her as a one trick in comp.
This coming from someone with a grand total of 24 hours played on her? Donât take that wrong, I too donât lock my profile, so people can see how much wrench time I have on her. Maybe they might value my opinion to some extent at least.
I like the changes, but only because it completely offsets the 2 sec CD on hack, and a small change in her playstyle puts your hacks back to 30-40 per game like before the nerf.
Just people arenât smart enough to see or utilize the change as such yet.
TFW people fear being banned for playing one of the heroes.
RIP
For what itâs worth to other Sombra Mains, or people who want to get in to playing her⌠I had a few diamonds and masters sunday trying to convince me to take her into comp.
But I told them itâs a throw pick if I do, and/or one tricks get banned, otherwise Iâd love to practice her in comp.
But, until Blizzard getâs their heads out of everyoneâs bum and makes a decision once and for all about it, Iâll just stick to QP where I actually have fun playing her, and not having to deal with people on voice comms.
I just throw some music on and do my thing, and donât shive a git what anyone does or says. Does that mean I donât play smart, no, I try when my team tries, and I screw around when my team is practicing, such as 6 DPS teams.
Iâve even had people suggest I was using an aimbot, which I am not, and never have, but I just have ok aim I guess, no Iâm no Codey, but, I do ok I guess.

Well, as expected the QP crowd seems to love new Sombra (for now). I see so many Sombraâs in QP, mostly by people who have never touched the hero before. Just last match I saw someone trying to create a Sombra smurf because âSheâs so cool nowâ.
Gonna be interesting to see if they stick with her. 
Sheâs easy to play in QP because people run around on their own more, and thereâs usually only one support to try to keep a Hacked player up.
In comp, those things just donât happen nearly as often.
Sheâs countered by far more basic teamplay than the teamplay she needs to follow her up.
I just had a comp game with a Sombra who was literally complaining that we were losing the 5v6s while they thought they were doing really well because they set themselves up some nice individual plays which were completely inconsequential in the scheme of the match. We actually went on to win, because a player on their team did exactly the same thing before realising what they were doing just wasnât helpful at all, but by then it was too late.
Please notice this and add it to your thread!!

Yes, therefore less things to manage, the less things you have to worry about, the easier a hero is. If you have 3 dogs, it is much easier to handle than say, 5 dogs. Same thing with Sombra, now you only have to worry about her low damage nd waiting on cooldowns, instead of cooldowns, timers, and her low damage and large spread.
She was, they mentioned that she was originally supposed to be the third Shimada family member, let me try and find the link!
I think there is an issue with her whole kit dealing with utility, but at the same time I believe a tighter spread or a reverse bloom will help her damage as well.
Except thatâs not how it played out; in Bronze her win rate collapsed down to something like 35% as people tried to pick her up. The only result is that youâre giving people 4 minutes to do a 20 second job, and theyâre using the 4 minutes to get it done, by which point itâs too late and thereâs no point bothering. As good as it might feel to get that individual success at the end of it, itâs not actually enough.
The timers she had just tied in to the timers and pace of the game which was the more important timer. The reality is that she never had 6 seconds she was given to get the Stealth thing done, it had to be done faster by virtue of everything else thatâs going on. It was never a really a timer that mattered.
Same with infinite TL. If in that 20 seconds you didnât need to bug out, your team was on top and bugging out would be unnecessary anyway.
You were never really playing to those timers if you were playing the rhythm of the game. The extra time youâre given is illusionary, even Geoff said it made no difference, because such are the diminishing returns on using that extra time.
Which was the point. Everyone takes their use of the word âscoutâ to mean something akin to tf2 scout. But literally from day one, my interpretation on the character was âdisrupting informantâ I will be communicating everything i see of relevance back to my team, while causing disrupted meyhem. I play her and hack someone elseâs 1v1 fight so that our team wins and pushes forward. I hack the ulting enemies, even if it isnt a disable like s76âs because it mitigates their ult potential. Iâm watching for flankers and ruining their surprise. I get many eliminations, but not many solo kills. My job has always been to disrupt the enemies flow so they canât get too organized, not just âkill the support then runâ Tracer does that job and does it better. I will also add that the last three games iâve played have all individually ended with âI hate you sombraâ from the enemy team. Its been rad. My 2 cents on the matter.
Yeah, I think it is well known that Sombra is the supportive type of offense hero.
The Somvra thread is being revived 
(Or so we thought)!
Whereâs my Sombra community at? 
I was just about to revive all my threads either Tuesday or Thursday. 
Permanently invisible⌠Not really, just playing other games right now.
New Sombraâs not as bad as I thought, at worst itâs a slight nerf, but at best itâs just a re-allocation of power.
Agreed⌠I still feel as though the cons outweigh the pros, but of course I am still wrecking as normal.
