Sombra is being revived 🌟 So We Thought

[Somvra-1200]

@SchWiniX-2357

Hey but atleast we got a feedback to her bugs right? Well here are some new ones from 1.26
Post: Even more Sombra Bugs in 1.26

I will most definitely check this thread out, thank you for this information and link to that wonderful thread.

@Saga-1675

3 days of data and absolutely nothing changed so far except making her even more of a chore to play.
It’s like the community was right all along who would’ve thought.

Certainly not Geoff constantly telling us we’re wrong and he’s right.

He even acknowledged that nothing changed with these changes in the article that I have linked above in this thread… makes me wonder then, what was the whole point of buffing her if nothing changed?

@SchWiniX-2357

3 days are not that much overall her Pick-rate even inceast a little (for now) It will probably fall soon as many Sombra mains predict. But I dont think we will see any changes for a month at least maybe even longer

Yes, I am one of those Sombra Main that predict that her pickrate and winrate will be lower than before… she suffers more so than before with downtime.

[Somvra-1200]

She is absolutely a troll pick now, more than ever.

A lot of us called it… she just near useless now, as she does not have a specific role to fill, that other heroes with the appropriate damage output can do. People saying that you have to use her as scout, but she already did that before they gave her a bunch of net nerfs… All her strengths was weaken and on top of all that, she got even more downtime and the devs gave her even more weakness. It is beyond me that people actually she this as a buff.

[Somvra-1200]

Like I told Jessicka, they made a lot of her strong aspect a lot weaker, while giving her even more weakness. This is not a buff, nor was a change that Sombra needed. If anything she needed to be buffed and that is it. She don’t need to be nerfed every time she gets buff.

I just find it crazy that the devs really did this to an already low-pick, one of the lowest pickrate and winrate hero who was already seen as a troll pick, but it’s more so. They didn’t fix the problem, but they sure did add onto the problem as she suffers so much with downtime.

They reduced her mobility for some odd reason, I am fine with the ability to not contest, but seriously they reduced her mobility?..

[Somvra-1200]

Geoff has absolubtely NO clue what he’s doing, first they say they want to tone down emp but make her completely reliant on it anyways.
Then that they’re careful with her because she can become extremely frustrating.
They proceed to buff her being frustrating, now for BOTH teams because it basically forces her to let her team 5v6 while she spawn camps to be effective.

And now Geoff comes in and says he’s surprised that people reacted badly on these changes and that, basically, we’re wrong and he’s right.
Every single change, it baffles me more and more how he has kept his job this long, he’s not doing even close to a decent job at it.

Exactly this… He does not know what he is doing when it comes to Sombra, and it really shows.

At the end of the day though, she had literally her whole kit toned down…

EMP toned down (nerfed)
stealth toned down (nerfed)
hack toned down (nerfed)
Translocator toned down (nerfed)

Literally everything was toned down, but yet he wanted to buff her utility, while nerfing her from being an EMP BOT.

Not only that but she is even more annoying for healer mains additional to being weaker.
I played two ranks since the changes got live both had a Zen that I easily took out shortly after the round started. After that, I just swapped between hacking some key enemy to helping my team at least a little bit and Spawncamping Zen (because its the one thing she is better now than before) and BOTH Zen players got so annoyed (because Sombra can take him out without a problem and I play on EU so I’m the only one who actually uses Voicechat xD) that they LEFT the game I mean WTH that just ruined a game for 2 players because I’m doing that what the character is best for. That can’t be right, right? xD

[Somvra-1200]

I mean even before the changes, she was good at spawn killing… I guess that is what she is known for now.

[SchWiniX-2357]

Sure but these changes just buffed Spawnkilling to a whole new level (Sadly only Spawnkilling -w-) And nerf the rest of her kit even fitzy kinda says Spawnkilling is what you should do now to be of use as Sombra:

But that accualy hurts other players experience and I dont think a Character in a game that hurts player experience should be in the game. With her old kit Spawntrapping was not as efficent well at least you not only Spawntrapped and I never had a rage quiter when I spawntrapped because I only could do it a once before I needed to backup. Right now I just wait invis and with translocator somewhere far away till he is in a good place out of spawn to kill him. I never need to worry anything. Translocator will not run out, Noone will shoot me because im invis and I can attack at the perfect moment.

Her speed is what killed her even more. In a game like OW, it’s very fast paced and every second could be a turning point. Now she’s so slow that it’s hard to accomplish that.

[Saga-1675]

The hand sprint like motion she does in stealth feels almost comical now.
It’s like she’s underwater.

[Justin-17714]

idk shes really strong against triple tank dive.

I play for a team that ran scrims and doomfist sombra annihilates triple tank dive which is arguably new meta. out all the things we tried, sombra doomfist was the only thing that could stop it.

[Taco-21655]

I just realised… did Sombra just became Teemo?

[Somvra-1200]

Agreed.

Why is both these so true.

[Somvra-1200]

We just have to wait and see.

[Somvra-1200]

Teemo?

[Saga-1675]

Satan, Beelzebub, the devil himself reporting for duty

Only difference is that sombra can’t even be annoying.

[Taco-21655]

It’s a hero from League of Legends an has one of the most annoying skill set. Invisibility, DOT, blind, sprint and invisible traps that can kill squishies in one hit with certain build.

Ohhh okay, I just looked him up… lol

[Saga-1675]

Today, sombra hit an all time low on overbuff of 22.22% winrate on bronze.

[Somvra-1200]

I wanna wait until next season to see where she will be at.
