Emphasizing upfront: I say this as someone who thinks sombra is under powered as a whole.
My complaints arent about going against sombras.
Theyre almost entirely from the POV of having sombra on your team.
I am sick and tired of seeing sombra players just sit on their thumbs rotating doing jack squat because they have permanent invisibility to hide forever, leaving the match feeling like a 4v5 90% of the time.
Please for the love of god, remove her permanent invisibility sooner rather than later.
(And yes I know: Good sombras do actually get things done. Thing is, i have no doubt theyll continue to get things done. This isnt aimed at the âGoodâ sombras. This is aimed at the other 9 out of 10 players who swap to sombra because âI can TOTES hard counter this hero with sombra!â and wind up doing 2000 damage the entire match, when the other DPS has 8000)
Yes I really hope that Blizzard hurries up with the Sombra rework due to how immensely frustrating and unfair the character is. I have requested a status update from them, we will see what happens Formal request for a status update on Sombra's rework
My newest idea is to up Sombraâs killing power, but make it so that she canât go invis or translocate for 2 seconds after taking or dealing damage. Make her actually commit to fights.
That commits her to fights, but still lets her delete widows (since letâs face it, Blizzard will do literally anything to avoid touching widow in a meaningful way)
Id be very cautious about making her a âSurprise, hahaha youre dead nowâ hero
But if they removed her permanent stealth im not entirely opposed to upping her damage. Its really just perm stealth encouraging players to sit, wait, and do nothing, that im annoyed by.
If they did it right, theyâd remove her perma-stealth and rework widowâs one shot to put it on an ability (you pop an ability, you can one shot for 3 seconds, then itâs on a 10 second cooldown, something like that)
That said, theyâd rather see the game burn to the ground than actually fix sombra and widow, because âpreserving hero identityâ matters more than the game being fun
They really need to remove her permanent invisibility or make it so you can really detect her. I thought that was the thing if you were near her you were able to detect her. Iâm right on top of her following her when she throws her thing to get away and then nope she gone. Put her back the way she was.
Nobody in years has ever been able to decide on what they want out of them. You all had your chance, you all blew it when nobody came to a consensus. There wouldâve always been complaining. You get what you deserve.
With peace and love this is a Paper 5 take!
She is already super punishable unless she gets the kill ( which is much harder after the virus nerf) so this would outright kill her.
I predict theyâll look into making her more mobile but keeping her lethality the same so she can have more attempts but die less to compensate for not always being able to choose the best time to engage. Maybe upping base movement speed and giving her two charges of her teleport?
The goal isnât to change her overall power level (she needs a net buff to that). Itâs to make her actually take skill again, and remove the frustrating part of her kit. Sheâs just an easy, boring, frustrating hero now.
Iâve been playing this game since 2017 and Iâve never played against a hero that feels so cheap. Her virus was the worst idea ever. Donât give a hero thatâs completely invisible burst damage. Period. End of story.
Good Sombras will hit the virus every time and then youâre just dead. Thereâs never been a worse feeling. Invisibility, burst damage and escapability.
As a support main, every time Iâm thrown in a game mid-fight because someone rage quit I know thereâs a Sombra on the other team.
Just give her an extra 200 health Blizzard and the game will be officially dead.
Before the rework Sombras had to play with their team and make smart decisions because they had poor damage for dueling. Now itâs just hide behind someone, wait for them to start doing something, then hit them with the hack and virus and theyâre dead before they even turn around.
All thatâs going to do is make her a front-line assassin. She has no mid-fight ability or self-sustain so the best way to play her is to not take any risks. Maybe translocate to off angles before a fight happens. But she wonât be able to do that if she takes any damage. Better to stick with the tank and pump out her increased damage at the front.
they said they were looking into it so i am assuming maybe this tuesday with the new season but you never know it may be season 13 midseason or even until season 14
or it may never happen, ive seen the devs state they are âlookingâ into something but never actually doing anything
The current garbage rework is deleting player base by the minute
Sombra should have never gotten an overbloated kit so overpowered, just for then saying sheâs Underperforming, thanks to⌠what? low active times? Iâm sorry, WHAT?!
Have we finally lost our minds?
Arguing Complexity, and Active Times, is the flat, dumbest, bronze12 thing I have ever heard on any game
I know many Overwatch players confuse Counterswapping with Skill, but if you are bad with a character, then donât use it. Simple as that
We have have +40characters in the roster for a reason
And we should never ask for buffs on a character, just because we are bad with it.
Thatâs how you ruin a game. Its how mediocre players missing half their shots while getting free elims, keep entire metal rank lobbies hostage. And thatâs how players eventually uninstall
Because right now, I know Masters/GM players that stopped playing. Because they only want to enjoy and chill on QuickPlay from time to time, but some noob from the depths of Wood 1, keep making their lives miserable.
Because the algorithm keeps placing them with randoms with no monitor, and the scrubs at the balance team are so smart that they keep rewarding mediocre gameplay
