This basically sums the rework and everything wrong with it and how sombras about to become the worst hero if these go to live
You mean REMAIN the worst hero, right?

i mean, torbjorn was still worse than sombra, but this rework makes her worse than torb and torbs getting a rework.
Plus mei was pretty bad before this patch.
On the PTR tb > Sombra. New sym also buff tb. Hit-scan buff also buff for tb (indirectly)
you get what i mean lol
Yeah. There is always a ābutā to it.
Indeed. They simply ignore the concerns and built it all around the things we donāt need. But at this point and seeing how the āusualā >balancing< works, we shouldnāt be surprised. At all.
Itās kinda sad they are so eager to kill the killed hero.

sadly, yea youre basically right.
So disappointed they changed stuff that no one asked for and are only making the hero easyer.
Sadly I give it 98% chance they will just push this to live with tiny tiny tweaks like they usually do.
PTR is just to find some bugs and it seems no one at Blizz cares what the community actually thinks about changes.
Letās see what happensā¦

If thatās the case I might as well just delete the Battlenet launcher all together, no reason to have it installed if I donāt play any of the games anymore.

Sombra only has a higher win rate than Sombra at the Grandmaster level. Is she better?
As a Sombra main Iād have to agree on most of these points. Balancing Sombra has got to be a mathematical nightmare; in a straight-up 1v1 sheās weeker then most dps characters, however any slight buff to her dmg/spread/etc would turn her ambush into an assassination.
Not to rise out of the blue 3 days later and revive this argument, but I canāt help noticing how these sombra changes are now on PTR and a lot of people seem to have cottoned on tot he fact that they are net nerfs to her and donāt help her or make her better, because they push her into a niche, weaken her playstyle, incentivize poor teamplay, and donāt address any of her actual problems whatsoever.
All things I said would be true in this thread, repeatedly.
For Sombraās sake I hope thereās enough of a community outcry to save her form these awful changes, but that probably wonāt happen. So good luck, and have fun.

Prayers that the Sombra doesnt hit two full magazines on them? sureā¦
well doomfist is a 99% deathchance if he catches any 200hp hero of guard. When you hear that doomfist charging up his alternate fire youre basicly already dead.
Genji can almost instakill McCrees or Widows with a row of headshots and a dashā¦
gitte can kombokill tracer without a chance of escapeā¦
Dont you think, Jeff, that 4 meters detection radius in not going to help infiltrate as well as decreased movement speed? Or 2 visual effects, which play when Sombra uses translocator (destruction of translocator + sombra teleportation)? They are not made Sombra easy to play, they are made her even more weak. I think you would better try to decrease invisibility anymationās duration and increase damage up to 10% onto hacked enemies.

That was Geoff, not Jeff xd
Plus, to them itās a success, so nothing to discuss here.
These changes cannot go to Live.
But they will. And all we can do is to watch her fall.
I see the critique of Sombra changes all around. Nobody really likes and/or understands them. I wonder if Blizzard will listen to community on this oneā¦
Man i donāt get why people are whining they canāt contest anymore with sombra, a good lucio is better at stalling then sombraā¦
