Sombra - The Double Standard

said by a person who wants to be purple tracer.

she was picked for her ability to set up perfect engagements and give recon with no risk, those are the words of the coach of NYXL academy, not me. tell a pro coach he doesn’t know what hes talking about though. im sure you in all your infinite Plat wisdom know more than him.

Dmg buffes are the last I want you can go to other Sombra posts of me and you will see that I say that since I entered this forums

Read any other pro coach twitter post on Sombra and you will quite see what I mean ^^ or go to any Pro Sombra player

She’s in the damage category but I wouldn’t really consider her a DPS pick. But she needs low damage. It would be stupid to give her high damage on top of back and invis/teleport

literally nobody has an issue with sombra in the pro seen right now, because she is so good. what are you even talking about.

Zen is literally unplayable because of how good sombra is.

you realise zenyatta has been in the meta every season since season 3?

Do you even know what you talk about inform yourself first then talk please?

I do. I follow pro coaches and pro play religiously. nobody is complaining about sombra, mostly because they are shocked with how good she is right now.

Well it really does not seem like it a level 4 unranked complains about a plat wtf? Well im off.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Blizzard will buff her soon.

Future Patch Notes:

Sombra can throw her translocator further.
Sombra’s translocator now has 100 hp.

smurf. but youre trying to go to profiles for arguments? I can link you my gm account if youd like :slightly_smiling_face:

I like to post on a different account than my main so I can talk freely without people saying things like “you should be able to deal with that youre gm” when they so clearly don’t understand how different the game is at diamond and below and gm.

My point is that when I pick dps in an lfg, and choose her, people throw games. And that’s bad.

And my point is that she has awful dmage and isn’t suited for the DPS role. That’s common knowledge. She has a kit based around stealth and disabling the enemy, she doesn’t need high damage on top of that. She needs a rework, she struggles to fit in the game.

The one week where she was commonly seen after her massive buff was one of the worst weeks I’ve ever played, and a lot of the vocal community and friends / players in game agreed

The 5HP on her translocator is really what did it for me.

Everything in her kit is now completely screwed by chip damage. By MINISCULE chip damage.

Blizzard has no idea what to do with her, and it’s obvious. And at this point, it’s just sickening lmao. The disruptor has the most easily disrupted kit. It’s stupid.

Blizzard needs to drop what they are trying to do with Sombra and just put her in the dps role

My Hanzo main account is in high-diamond/low masters… My sombra account mid plat.

My main issues with her is damage, I’ve been trying to do Callouts but people just don’t focus…

Sombra is designed for the pro level not casual/ranked play.

Take away blinks and Tracer is trash? Overall sure. But keep in mind this is about how much hack does for Sombra to others. It is NOT the strong ability that leads anyone to their death like you types try to claim. Tracer with her primary only will STILL be better off then Sombra for a fight! There is not actually any hero in the game that’s primary is so dependent on abilities and everyone knows it. (oh and let’s not forget Tracer has multiple ways to break hack with her blinks and recall along with one of the best primaries for tagging Sombra quick)

Sombra NEEDS buffs. She is not in a good state and more then ever now lacks either a solid identity/role or versatility in her playstyle with a wider margin for error then ever because having infinite invis or TL leaves her far more downtime overall.

Sombra’s fine.

Just don’t ever pick her on my team. If you do and we start losing, switch or I’ll report you for throwing.

But also, she’s in contenders so she’s fine. But also, don’t play her, because she’s trash.

But also she’s fine. This is fine.

everything is finneeeeee!

Literally all 3 of her cooldowns get countered by chip damage.

I’d like any other hero try to play like that.

it is. theres a reason you have 5 other people on your team, to get follow up on your hacks.

tracer is also a sitting duck with the smallest healthpool in the game when hacked, unless you cant aim.

she doesn’t, you need to adapt your playstyle, shes seeing almost a 100% pick rate in contenders right now. that’s not a weak hero.

no the issue is sombra players want to be purple tracer instead of sombra. want to dish out damage? pick tracer. want to shut down key enemy targets and provide valuable info for your team? play sombra.

No other hero gets shut down so hard just by the team not having mics.

Also a damage hero wanting to do respectable damage? That sounds crazy.

Edit: spelling

I may sounded a bit harsch but that was meant as sarcasm I can tell that a level 4 would not be in this forums on such a level :wink:
But maybe you should not flame on others rank when your on with your smurf I do play Sombra since she launched (or a week after she was) and a ± a month after I started playing.
I know how She is played and She is the only reason I even play this game at all.
I’m not a onetrick I’m able to swap to a lot of other heros
And I do not play alot of rank because of the toxicity against Sombra players.
So im very well able to judge
But let me make things clear:

  1. Sombra in the currend state wont become meta.
  2. Contenders play means nothing for the accual meta the always played offmeta.
  3. If you play Sombra alot and watch contenders you can tell what I mean with shes used as an emp bot
  4. A lot of pro Sombra player say simmilar thing I did.
  5. All what she does in contenders she was able to do in 1.25 and before.
