I have a lot of experience, at a high competitive level, using invisibility mechanics in hero shooters. And I can tell you what matters is most is not ever how long you can stay invisible, but from what angles you can attack and how meaningful your attack is when you finally break ambush. Sombra has non-decisive damage and her mobility has been extremely hampered. If sheās easily detectable on approach (increased visibility range), canāt navigate unusual approaches (lowered speed and ability kill mobility tool), and doesnāt clutch once she arrives (bad spread, middling damage, a range so small itās offensive to everyone involved) she is not an assassin - sheās a waste of time. Every second counts. If youāre spending it contributing no damage, no pressure, and no hitpoint soak you are effectively turning it into 5v6 while you wait for your next four meter gap to turtleshuffle your way in.
Once again, Blizzard is totally incompetent at design.

Youāre right, it literally fixes none of her problems. Stealth and Translocator were okay, itās hack that was letting her down.

As I said, we just have to wait and see.
If there is anything I learned from patch notes, is that donāt judge too quick. OP heroes can be balanced, bad heroes can be balanced too.
I am not saying itās a buff, itās just a change for me.
Maybe to test it perfectly, we can create a custom comp game with people at the same tier to see the results.
Heck, just 1 minute from the new hero got released, everyone screamed OP.
Itās a complete disaster, I guess Iāll just go back to playing anything else now because every hero is better.

Iād rather play Pharah into triple hitscan zen than play Sombra ever now. I would probably be more effective as Pharah against triple hitscan zen than playing Sombra in any situation now.

It is Not a buff the Problem is Not the how do i go into the enemy. The Problem is getting out there alive and with the a kill or anything u wanted but the Bugs and Amor makes it impossible to play her right now

This is so sadā¦ Well when we play together, if you ever need a MOT (Mercy One-Trick) I am here. 
Or I might play Mei since they finally removed her fall-off damage.
Iām disappointed by this āsignificant changesā too. But, honestly, why are we talking about it? Itās pointless. Everybody knows that PTR changes always go to live. Right now giving feedbacks to Blizzard is just a waste of time.

I thought the changes could be bad but I NEVER thought they could actually make Sombra worse. Holyā¦
This has to be a joke. Did the devs even talk to a single Sombra players before creating this monstrosity patch?

And that was, I guess, the only thing weāve been asking for. The rest feels clumsy and annoying.

Yeah maybe sometime, Iāve been playing Sombra and D.va for so long that my Pharah aim is awful now. Iām gonna have to practice again.
I got you with the damage boost.
