You don’t know how to play in a team? Don’t know how to position yourself? Don’t have a clue about “off angle”? Don’t worry, Sombra is made for you.
It’s easy to surprise your opponent, since you’re infinitely invisible. Your mere existence is enough to give your team any value, because you can literally be anywhere on the map. No need to think.
To help you take kills, here’s a hack for which you don’t need to aim, and which prevents the target from using its spells, so it doesn’t run away. What’s more, it synergizes with this other spell, the virus, which bursts harder if the target is hacked and applies a DoT (which goes faster if the target is hacked), so you’re almost guaranteed to take a kill if you fire a few bullets to complete the assassination. And if things get a little messy, don’t worry, you can TP to save yourself. That way, even if you really suck, you can escape. With a bit of luck, the DoT will do the rest.
This hero is an aberration. His mere presence
- Creates a climate of paranoia (shoot at any opening or corner because she might be there).
- Prevents you from being aggressive, as you always have to use part of your kit defensively to try and find her.
- Forces a systematic 2v1, because otherwise it’s an almost guaranteed kill for her. And you don’t know for sure who it’s going to fall on.
- Forbids flanking, because she has the completely unfair advantage of being invisible 90% of the time.
- Forbids certain heroes from existing (80% of Sigma’s kit can be cancelled by a simple hack, Widow has no time to defend herself if she’s in scope…).
Add to that a volatile assassin kit, and sprinkle in harassment-based gameplay. Congrats, you’ve designed the sickest hero ever created for this game.
