How do you come up with such cool ideas! Really wasn’t expecting perma stealth to be a balanced thing (People always meme about blizz never making stealth characters) but this is fine when she has a good amount of delay and taking away her power to contest. I’m totally gonna start putting hours into learning to use her gun well enough from now on.(though does her primary have any changes?)

Off topic : Though still feels bad about Ana I cant still call my self a sniper with her now that sombra became a completle stealth hacker/assassin(They both were great heroes to be complained about a lot now ana is alone) ana still isn’t a sniper :frowning:

literally changes nothing regarding supports, it just lets you set up without ‘rushing’

It terrifies me as a sniper main. She can just take her time to get right where she needs to be and dive you for free after lining up that sweet headshot burst.

Also, remember when you tried to nerf lucio’s speedboost when leaving walls? Expect a similar reaction to nerfing sombra’s speed. Slowing down the game is never a good idea.

And I think everyone would prefer being able to contest objectives with limited stealth to this, you’re “buffing” her while pushing her in a direction that’s only going to hurt her desirability in the long run.

Basically, just please actually take player feedback into account this time? like we’ve begged you to with every single change you’ve pushed to live while ignoring us? please?

“Been here all along”.

After taking her time getting close enough to your head to kill you before you even notice.

There will be players sitting in stealth for most of the match. It will be a Blizzard approved spectator/AFK mode.

Rightfully so, depending on how they go about it.

You will be surprise about how many hanzo player do not use sonic to uncloak invisible sombra. It happens all the time in lower rank fights, especially in MH and Training AI.

PS: Will we ever get more bots for Training AI? I would love to see brigitte and pharah in Training AI. There’s essentially no way to practicing shooting pharah other than in an actually game vs players.

I knew all that time spent in TF2 spy checking would come in handy eventually!

Also how is 75% movement speed too strong? You literally made sure she cant contribute at all while invisible. Its just positioning nothing else, after you remove stealth contest.

So no changes for her weapon? Not a single little buff? What the point of being infiltrator if you struggle to infiltrate?

If you don’t want to straightforwardly buff her weapon, just give her Opportunist passive bonus damage effect against low HP targets.

these are both really exciting changes! i hope her gun maybe gets a tiny bump too, since i could see some of the caveats of the stealth change being a nerf in some capacity, but mostly these sound great!!

Infiltrating doesn’t involve her weapon though. She couldn’t infiltrate because her stealth duration was too short and gave her little time to get where she needs to be and observe what is going in time to do something when she does come out of stealth.
