not as bad as sombra. You see widows all the time in high silver low gold they are not rare at all and actually get things done. Sombra is pracicallly a unicorn basically non existent.
I feel like listing two heroes with a 2-3 times higher pick rate over Sombra on lower ranks sort of defeats your argument…
I don’t think you understand how little play Sombra actually sees below masters ranks.
What do you mean the same? Problem with widow/tracer are accessibility due to high skill floor, basically people being too bad to have any impact with those heroes.
Now Sombras (i dont even think Sombra has hight skilfloor, altho her skillcelling is undeniably one of the highest and unique in a role of teamfights orchestrator) problem is entirely different: she needs competent team to enable them against opponents. You can be a gm Sombra and still lose games in plat by playing Sombra instead of Tracer, while gm Tracer would single handedly destroy plat teams by herself.
Sombra winrate in gm justified by her pickrate which clearly suggest that she played only in favorable situations or by very good players with very good teams.
Ultimately, I dont think that Sombra needs a rework, just careful buffs.
Don’t pretend Symmetra isn’t lamented as the worst character in the game

At least Symmetra has the highest win rate in the game. Right now, Sombra has both the lowest win rate and lowest pick rate. For the first time, a hero is being played less than Bastion.
maybe if they allowed her to get charge from hacking, because whenever i hack someone, a few people will jump on me and ill be forced to translocate out. because of that, i have to either chose to hack, translocate, or deal a small amount of damage and translocate, there isnt time for both in most cases.
Hack’'s LOS bugs need to be fixed, translocater needs to be fixed, ad a damage threshold needs to be put on hack and stealth so they don’t break to a sneeze. This is literally everything most sombra mains have asked for.
Which means that you’ve accomplished basically nothing, and that’s the problem with the anchor playstyle.
You drop a beacon, pray you can do something useful in 20 seconds, and translocate out, with a low probability of actually accomplishing anything worthwhile.
Chip damage just helps their supports, and there is a higher chance you will be killed because of the one- and two-shots and high burst damage that exists on most other damage heroes, but Sombra isn’t allowed to have.
I had a scenario today where I hacked a Pharah out of the sky, and we ended up being pretty much face to face. I kid you not when I say she started shooting the ground at her feet and did that twice to kill me, regardless of the self damage she was inflicting.
Can’t have Sombra be anything other than clunky as hell to use, though, because she wouldn’t be fair otherwise!

Honestly, I’ll take her kit just actually working. I actually understand the outcry about the .1 second thing, but…what they replaced it with doesn’t work.
It wasnt 1 day it was 7. Far to long for a hero to dominate the scene!
this happens to me constantly, the only heros i can 1v1 even when they are hacked is dva, tracer, genji, and maybe rein if im at a good distance, but other wise i need help from my teamates, i know shes supposed to be an assassin, but currently she doesnt feel like one.
Cough cough - six months of Mercy meta - Cough…
But yes, I agree. Though 2.08% pickrate isn’t exactly a “domination”
I think they’re hoping for symetra to dominate the scene when they rework her, and since sombra counters her ult, they think that’ll improve her pickrate.
But the bugs. Oh god the bugs
I think you really underestimate sombra’s skill floor. But I do agree her need for teamplay vs widow or tracer is the bigger issue.
As long as you can aim on widow you can be of use in silver. You would be shocked to see the amount of headshots I have seen widows get at 1800. Unfortunately their game sense is terrible and they dont have any plans as to what to do once they are aggressed on and they fold as soon as the opposing team starts to address the issue they are creating.
I have seen some tracer “Gods” as of late in lower elo but a lot of that is the fact that tracer is falling down the ladder due to the meta shift. I am using the term God in a relative sense as in they are WAY outplaying their current rank.
Until you fix sombra’s teamwork requirementsyou cant fix teammates that arent in voice chat or have no desire to combo ults with you. That issue alone will perpetually keep her in f tier sub 2500.
It’s great when a well placed emp opens up a team whipe with a good follow up. But it’s pretty rare sub 2200. Hell it’s a problem on fitzy’s stream in high gm…
Yes, thank you whiny self-entitled “Pros”…
You mean the same “Self-entitled ‘pros’” who whined about Sombra post-buff in the first place and caused blizzard to rush a nerf into live, skipping PTR because she was “unfun” by people like xqc? Don’t make me laugh
Exactly what I mean, not referring to the poster…
No, she does not. She needs a reliable hack and minor tweaks to her other abilities.
Volvamos a la basura! #SaveOurSombra #RevertLastPatch
They bothered to do a Blue Post about how “Winston is fine, no change planned” but we haven’t heard a word on Sombra since the nerf gutted her. Despite the promise of “making sure she lands in a good spot”…
That’s seems fair.
