Sombra - The Double Standard

A) every hero requires communication to be viable at high levels.

B) The devs have stated time and time again they want the value to be her utility not damage.

like ive said before. stop wanting to play purple tracer, and start learning actual sombra.

what?

contenders made goats, bastion on the cart, triple support and many other metas.

OWL has literally pulled comps from them.

she sets up perfect engagements because she has no time limit on set up. this is why the pros are using her.

In basic levels of play you can successfully play as any other hero without comms.

How has utility been working out for Symmetra the last 3 versions of her?

She’s a damage hero, being able to adequately damage the enemy doesn’t seem ludicrous to me.

Utility makes her completely reliant on her team to get anything done. She’s should be comparble to the other heroes in her class in terms of damage output. All I’m asking for is that. Comparable.

Idk how that equates to purple tracer. Is 76 blue tracer? Is reaper black tracer? Is Genji green tracer? She happens to be a flanker. Yes I’d like to be able to reliably do damage. How is that not reasonable? She does less damage than most supports.

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to crazy

There are ways to buff her without buffing her dmg bit still make her viable

  • basemovement speed bufft to 6m/s
  • small threshold on hack and stealth
  • better visuals on halcked targeds

Amd bum you fixed all her problems besides the bugs

You so dont get it, and I suspect willfully so.

People dont like choosing a character and being prevented from playing that character for long periods of time.

Being killed beats being hacked EVERY TIME.

Sombra players!

If you had to choose two things from this list, what would you pick?

1: Tighened spread
2: Buffed falloff damage
3: Longer hack range
4: No slowdown when exiting stealth
5: No slowdown when entering stealth

Shorten the range to 8 meters, cooldown to 10 seconds, and make it uninterruptible.

Hack really needs to be a more stable ability if they’re not going to buff her damage.

I really want her to be the most sneakiest and deadliest dps besides Genji and Tracer. Her theme and designs deserves that respect. I know how Sombra mains feel cause I still main an F tier hero who is known as Symmetra.

Nothing in you list really fixes her main issues ( not that it would not help there are jist better ways imo)
But if I would need to pick one Longer hack range because that would maybe help her being a little more consistand?

I thought her main issues were not being deadly enough? At least, that’s what I’ve gathered from reading forum posts. (edit: and hack being buggy and unreliable)

If I’m wrong, please tell me. I only dabble in Sombra, so I really want to know what the actual Sombra mains think.

What is your argument? There are certainly other characters besides sombra that have a huge advantage that helps them disable heroes. Roadhog, McCree, Brigitte. If you seriously can’t aim well enough to shoot back at Sombra or even just hide, you have bigger issues.

Imo and that of a lot of other Sombra players her main problems are:

  • Hard to play with as a Team
  • Inconststand
  • She is bad in teamfights without EMP
  • buggy

So to fix all that:

  • Add skulls over hacked enemys to make her easier to play with.

  • Add a small threshold to hack and stealth ao she is more consistand when using it.

  • Increase her base movement speed to 6m/s to match that of Tracer amd Genji. To make her more effective in teamfights and so She can make more use out of her new infinite abilities.

  • And fix bugs there are to many: Even more Sombra Bugs in 1.26/1.27/1.28 [With Video's]

Dmg buffs are unneeded because it would just skip her problems instead of fixing it.

Honestly i’m at a point where in case they fix her bugs I’m fine with not having a dmg treshhold. I’d rather get the invulnerable translocator back.

Offensive Sombra to maximize uptime gets punished so much since that update its not even funny.

And they used her before sniperwatch was a thing. Dante played her quite a bit in OWL. She’s only somewhat usable now because the meta relies a lot on abilities.

Here let me help you out a bit.

Uhm… baby d.va? I can defend myself just fine if I have godly aim.

For me its not such a big deal because I ise TL mostly mid air when playing agressive but I can very well understand you.

Ah I searched for that but I forgot the youtube to which it was directed xD. Thanks.

Baby Dva isnt a character, you have to chew through her mech, which gives no kill credit for just to get to her. That’s essentially like going ā€œUh, a 75% dead Rein?ā€
