Sombra "Nerf This"

Virus should have been nerfed, not invis.

On another note, I main support, but when I do play dps I usually enjoy Sombra. I’ve seen the gleeful hatred that people have for her in the forums and I can promise you one thing…these nerfs will just make me Sombra all the harder.

“I will find you. And I will hack you.”

She will have the potential to do a lot more, but she’ll actually take skill now. You can’t just stand still invis for 20 seconds waiting for the perfect time to attack.

Agree on that

But as long as the pick rate drops enough for supporting offense or counterpicking, I’ll take it

she wont take skill now, shes garbage now, she took skill before, skill wins games how often did sombras win games rather than makin them miserable?

Even on paper the changes does not look all that great, but yeah I agree. The true Sombra’s main will learn and adapt and cause more havoc. I can not wait to get my hands on these changes and at least try them out.

Well, if you insist, I would be very happy to add a virus nerf on top of the existing changes!

I bet support players will still hate Sombra, maybe even more. Especially Sombra players who also play support, because these types of Sombra will know exactly when and where to act.

Am i being called to get rid of a sombra again :grin:

As someone who plays both I find these changes fair.

Sombra almost never killed me, but it was never fun to be constantly annoyed by a Sombra who only focuses on support but you never/rarely have the ability to actually fight back with that instant invisibility. And when you recovered and are back in position she is already back.

Now there is skill, positioning and timing involved to actually reach me and successfully get away before getting gunned or smacked down by me and my fellow support.

Also no more sombra spawn camping. Another plus for people who play slow movement heroes.

But now we can find you too :upside_down_face:

well been playing widow a lot today lately and i have just only a few sombras that gave me trouble. (getting ready lol)

cant wait for tommorrow

Exactly! I will keep making you Sombra haters hate your life, see you later today!

I always love to play agro Sombra, and been telling people that there are so many ways to play Sombra… instead of these “spawn camp Sombra”

I just made a thread explaining these changes, check it out and let me know what you think.

Should have made hack not a lock on.
Why do we still have lock on abilities on on damage hero?

Interesting thought: tie hack to virus but make it so virus can’t be cast until 2 sec after unstealthing

20% more damage is scary. Go invis to engage, engage at the end of the invis timer, get the kill in two seconds and translocate out. Good sombras will be able to repeat that cycle from the backline

45-47% of the time I think

And people are missing that taking damage no longer breaks stealth but reveal her location for 1 second, is again huge.

However, I will take more damage over parma-stealth any day.
