Yes, I’m aware of that. I’ve been playing Overwatch since 2020 so I know fully well both versons of sombra. Again, I was just pointing out the flaws in balance and which hero gets nerfed and doesn’t get nerfed being inconsistent.
And I agree that sombra isn’t that annoying for majority of the tanks, it’s only in specific cases like sigma/orisa when they ult.
Trying to play wrecking ball was a nightmare back in OW1 against sombra + bunch of other DPS and supports that made ball unplayable. Hog’s take a breather used to get completely cancelled by sombra’s hack before the rework, etc. Tanking experience against sombra is definitely much better now than before, but there’s still room for improvement.
Ball is and always has been countered by her same with doom. When momentum is your weapon and then the hero that stops it will counter you. But even then losing abilities for 1s as doom and ball isn’t nearly as close as it used to be when you’d lose 6-8s. She doesn’t counter them remotely close to how she used to counter them.
If they removed her ability to hack ultimates they’d probably give back the damage boost of hack as compensation. I really don’t think you’d like that.
If you want to add another .5 seconds for the duration it takes to hack another hero because people are slow, sure. But saying hack shouldn’t cancel ults that can also be disrupted by other heroes does not make any sense balance wise.
I hope you’re not suggesting she’s invisible when hacking, because if so, you and a number of others need to drop that lie; it’s also a sign of who hasn’t actually played around with her. She shuts off cloak when hacking heroes, and even when hacking health packs or Torb’s turret, her silhouette is fully visible.
Nah i think it’s a completely valid thing to ask. cuz at least the other abilities that can shut down ults have long CD or are hard to land, Like whenever i play Sigma and a sombra player is on the enemy team and alive, i just can’t ult, Cuz idk where she is, i can’t dodge her, And i can’t bait out such a short CD. the resource exchange isn’t fair
How so? If the sombra is waiting for your ult then she’s invisible and completely useless in every other way. She just stands there being held hostage waiting for an ult to go off. You can literally hold a sombra hostage by just not using your ult until they get board and make a move.
That’s not how that works, it’s not that sombra is waiting on you or not, it’s that you don’t know if she is, because it’s very hard to keep of a person who’s invisible 80% of the time. and more importantly it’s just not fun, can’t use your ultimate ability, the most exciting part of your kit because of another character litterally existing
Good way to ignore what i just said, No actually we wouldn’t be all be soldiers 76, because if everyone was then it wojld be unfun now would it, in fact your logic is the otherway around, if we Focus on everything being perfectly or fair and balanced over fun then we’d all end up as 76.
Guess what we’re playing. A Video Game. It’s suppose to be fun 1st and foremost, the only reason why something unfun should be in a video game is out of necessity.
It’s not necessary for an invisible person to be able shut down an ult with an ability that requires no aim, no timing and is on a very short CD. as another guy said there’s already a ton of ways to counter something like a sigma ult, we don’t need yet another.
Okay cool. So fun is what we’re balancing around. Zarya then needs a rework or to be removed. I find her bubble mechanic to be unfun to play into because it requires me to stop engaging with her to prevent her from getting strong. And my teammates just keep shooting her to charge her. A hero SHOULD not dictate when I can and can’t do damage. They also have one of the most OP ults that’s incredibly unfun to play into. She needs to me removed because I find it unfun and unfun aspects shouldn’t exist.
And I do actually hate zarya and would like her removed.
Is her Bubble mechanic a necessity? would the game get worse if she didn’t have it?, yes. And if the majority of people have the same view as you then Blizzard should look into, but they don’t
