What stats are you looking at? She doesn’t have a top 4 PR at any rank, and she doesn’t have a positive WR at any rank except GM. She’s certainly a much more popular DPS than she used to be, but the fact that she’s still struggling for a positive WR despite being played a lot doesn’t bode especially well.
Oh you’re looking at DPS only and excluding the other roles. Not sure I’ve seen anyone do that before, but it misrepresents her popularity. For example, her PR at plat is less than half of Ana’s. But it doesn’t matter much either way because they don’t balance around PR. They focus on WR, and Sombra’s isn’t particularly good.
Okay I’m convinced. Time to nerf Hanzo. If he can consistently stomp a high value low effort hero like Sombra, the dude must be broken.
But in all seriousness, you haven’t actually presented any arguments. You’re just venting your feelings. Her PR isn’t compelling - especially when there are heroes like Soldier who are both played more and win more. And Blizz have explicitly said in the past that they’re not concerned with PRs.
There’s nothing wrong with your feelings though. We all find a few things in the game frustrating and that’s perfectly valid. But at the end of the day, like I said her performance isn’t noteworthy.
Basically have to go Kiriko and save my TP for her engages to avoid her constantly trading out with supports / whatever she “dives”.
Gap heroes - or heroes with skill floors that are just way too high. Make it difficult for those with healthy skill curves to get into the game.
A lot of people don’t understand higher ranks is about least risk/effort for most reward. Not about playing TEH MOAST SKILLY COMP EVAR!ONE!!!ONE! - you’ll get dummied by someone as good as you playing something easier. You could play some edge comp that if everyone plays perfectly will be impossible to defeat!
or you could just go GOATS which has an enormous margin for error and we know how that all played out.
The support roster is completely full of heroes with busted skill curves, the few that are actually healthy/balanced feel impossible to play.
my guy. The hero comes out of nowhere and drops a debuff on you that leaves you with 80hp and has a gun that is capable of 160DPS.
If played optimally how long does one have to react to this? If she does 90 damage Virus kills you unless you get a health pack or a support intervenes within 2 seconds.
