Bumping for Sombra <3
Stage 2 OWL was played with Sombra 1.0, because the maps in rotation facilitated the EMP bot strategy. No OWL matches have been played with Sombra 2.0, and probably never will.
Why bother, the devs don’t want to talk, they regret adding her to the game, that much is clear.
They had 3 weeks since they said they had an eye on her, they can see better than I can that they trashed her. They don’t want to know.
OWL Stage 2 was on the patch post-Mercy nerf, pre-Sombra buff.
It’s also worth noting this was often as an EMP bot. Where in Stage 1 only HLC attack A, was used for her healthpacks (old Mercy outweighed that potential for Anubis), Stage 2 had Volskaya defence A, Route 66 defence A, and Route 66 attack C.
A single spark of hope can go a long way
Bumping for consistency
LOS nerf sucks on her. Many people have stated to just stay on high ground and hack people but you cant really do that since apparently you cant hack anyone underneath you as it keeps breaking itself! XD (yes its getting annoying)
Maybe it would be a good time for those people to start practicing their tracking skills. 
I mean, she’s objectively a better character today than she was 2 months ago, pick rates be damned. Being an EMP bot doesn’t make the character good so she’s a much better pick now for the majority of players than she used to be.
Based on what? Your subjective feelings? The data seems to indicate she’s about the same. You may feel she’s more fun to play but that’s hardly ‘objectively’. In fact it’s the straight opposite to ‘objectively’…
The majority of people playing Sombra still have a negative win rate and she’s arguably much harder to play now than she was before when even first time Sombra players could farm HP packs for ult and be useful.
Working as intended. Quit crying about Sombra. She’s perfectly fine, and she’s better than ever.

Based on her buffs. She hacks faster, can wait to teleport longer and she shoots straighter. A character being used solely as an EMP bot is not the way you design/balance/improve a character.
So you’re telling me she was better before the buffs? That you were happy with her absurd gun spread?
How is she harder to use, I don’t get it? For the vast majority of players her hack will go off without a hitch and her accuracy has skyrocketed. They also die less because they have the safety of Translocator active longer.
Again, an EMP bot just isn’t a strong design or how you put Sombra on a path for success.
Again. I’m not saying anything other than “data indicates she is more or less the same”. You subjectively arguing that she’s “objectively better” is just unsupported.
You claim totally unsupported “facts”. If we’re just making stuff up there’s really no point in keep going…
Believe it or not her skill floor didnt go down it probably went up to be honest. If her skill floor was indeed lower you would see more of her in low elo. She has the lowest pick rate in the game granted not by much but still the lowest.
Her win rate sub plat is also the worst. She is the opposite of pharah. Lousy in low elo and great in high elo.
She got buffed so hard, nobody plays her anymore. Never change forums.

I think she was much stronger pre-changes.
Updated daily winrates/pickrates in GM:
Mar 31st = 1.21% pr, 60.49% wr (way down on the figures midway through that day)
Apr 1st = 0.91% pr, 57.79% wr
Apr 2nd (so far) = 1.31% pr, 54.69% wr
Anyone know why every hero in GM has over 50% win rate? How does that work.
