Sombra Is Most Annoying FPS Character I’ve Ever Encountered

The fact that a hero in a FPS can be invisible a majority of the time until they attack, then disappear once low on health is ridiculous.

OW a game where positioning plays a huge part in winning team fights, and no hero has it easier than Sombra to get into perfect position to pick players while focus is elsewhere during team fights.

I often see people suggest just sticking with your team and focus Sombra once she pops up, but thats just assuming your team has health or even numbers to do that during team fights.

The silencing of her footsteps while invisible is what makes it really egregious. I wouldn’t mind the invisibility if there was just any indication that she might be near by. I don’t need to know exactly where, but it’s ridiculous to expect players to randomly shoot empty space to find her.

I wouldn’t mind being as loud of reaper in exchange for the cooldown for translocator and streath being integrated instead of a 1.5 second gap

I don’t think she is op anymore [annoying yes!], but you are %1000 correct and I share your opinion!

Doom, Ball, Genji, Tracer, Ana, Zen. I hate these characters so much more than Sombra.

That being said, I’m biased cause Sombra is my go to dps so…

These are the only things that need to happen when it comes to Sombra.

One, the community needs to do a better job of helping their teammates as well as asking for help instead of just throwing their hands up getting ticked off only to run to the forums to complain.

Two and it’s rare for me to ever ask for a nerf.
All they need to do is remove Sombra’s ability to see low health targets through walls.

What a cute thought.

Be what you want to see instead of acting like everything is a fantasy.

I had a match yesterday where I asked for help and one of our DPS went McCree and helped me with the Genji. In return I prioritized my orb on him and back him up probably more than necessary.

Some people in the community take bad situations and act like everyone is going to do that at all times, and somehow the devs are out to get them.

I hate it unless the team cares about helping you out. I got stuck dueling her on Kiriko yesterday. Sombra stopped after I kept killing her. It’s so annoying!

You know what you’re right. Playing against invisible characters in pvp games is completely normal and it’s fantasy for people to think otherwise.

Looks like u never met a good junkrat player.

Wow, the point completely went over your head, didn’t it

Dude, you’re the one who should ask for help

2/2 getting the point of the comments wrong.

Ana is (objectively) more annoying than Sombra and you could’ve(should’ve) made a topic about that, instead.

Sombra is fine. Irritating, but fine. You win duels with her if you either aim better, have vastly better gamesense, or have better teamwork.

There’s no solution for Ana other than hard nerfs, but she got perk buffs instead, cause ???

No the point still went over your head.
There will always be times where things don’t go as planned, expected or how you hoped they would. Do the best with what you have.

Sometimes you’ll get teammates that wont help, and sometimes you could have done way more for your team. You don’t just throw a fit and stomp your feet to get your way. You keep trying because there will be times where teamwork is there, win or lose.

And even if all it was about is asking for help, that you’re scoffing at, it’s better than sitting here complaining. That’s clearly not doing you any good.
