Sombra's Delay is Whats Killing Her. 😍

[Somvra-1200]

It should so sombra can’t use it as escape ability

You do know that her Stealth ability is used for both engaged and to disengaged.

Anyways, this logic if flawed, as others heroes who do have an escape ability… it happens instantly (or don’t exceeded past 0.5 seconds)

Instant hack will op

No one said to make her Hack instant bud.

It is too small that people think there is no delay

The delay is still there… Which I am perfectly fine with. However, the cast time is still there.

So does every throwable abilities

Again, you are giving someone who already have an overload of delays, more delay? I am aware that every throwable projectile abilities have an delay, but I am displaying how much delay Sombra has as of right now and before.

[Somvra-1200]

You would think that Sombra would be popular in this meta, but she simply is not. People keep saying that being Hack is worse than being killed, but I just disagree full heartily.

[Somvra-1200]

It’s sad that this topic is still relevant. I hardly ever play Sombra anymore since the last changes.

When I make threads that possibly turn into mega-threads, I try to make those thread somewhat relevant, as this is something Sombra still struggle with.

Of course people are not opposed for changes, as they deemed Sombra has an Annoying character to play against". It is honestly sad.

[Somvra-1200]

Check out my other threads as I am one of the. voice of Sombra… and came up with great suggestion that wouldn’t make her a must -pick nor overpowered.

I will link them all here for you.

Why did we necro this thread?

Because Good Threads Never Die!

considering Sombra is one of the strongest pro picks at the moment and a solid hero altogether.

I wouldn’t say she is a strong pick nor a solid hero all together. She can use some tweaks here and there… but of course, I want the devs to put more attentions on heroes that need it first. Sombra, she is surviving, but no she still needs help.

@HalfBaked-11751

I enjoy playing Sombra, but I guess she doesn’t have as much of a purpose right now, as you said. If I were to buff her, it wouldn’t be for delays, I would increase Translocator throw speed and decrease reload time in order to make her a more fluid DPS.

I made a thread talking about ways to improve her, check it out here Somvra's suggestions for Sombra. 💟

She already have escape ability (translocator) if someone caught her while her translocator on cooldown he should be able to kill her, having to escape abilities when one on cooldown is broken.

but I am displaying how much delay Sombra has as of right now and before.

Well at least her gun doesn’t have delay like genji shuriken who is using it 70% of the time.

[Hailey-21174]

This title is conflicting af.

The title makes it seem like OP is not happy with the delay.
But the heart eyes emoji makes it seem as if he’s glad its killing her.

So which is it? O-O

You are thinking one-sided right now, I am honestly glad that she has delays, as delays allow counterplays. That is not the issue I have right now with her. I am saying that they could keep those delays, however, the devs can reduce some of the components that is holding the Sombra back from working fluently.

I made a Thread talking about it here.

Somvra's suggestions for Sombra.

Somvra’s Ideal changes to Sombra Stealth Reduce her Stealth’s Delay from 0.7 seconds to 0.5 seconds Somvra Comments: With all these changes, it will help Sombra from feel so less clunky, as the delay hinders her a hero. With this she can move in and out of Stealth more fluently. EMP EMP when activated now resets Sombra’s Translocator Somvra Comments: Many typically use this following combo –> Translocate - Stealth- EMP- Translocate out. This change will help promote…

If you want to view and put your opinion in the thread. Here I am just saying that all those delays pretty lengthy for a fast pace game, is one of the things that are killing her as a hero.

A great Sombra can use both Translocator and Stealth as both a disengaged and engaged tool.

@anon63781830

Well at least her gun doesn’t have delay like genji shuriken who is using it 70% of the time.

and for exchanged for that Genji’s kit function fluently with little to no delays, and also for her Shurikens, they have no-fall off damage…

It was just used for a little sarcastic humor I am happy with her having delays, just not as much as she has right now…

I made a thread talking about it here Somvra's suggestions for Sombra. 💟 (Click Me)

I just want to see a reduction is some of the delays cast-time, that is killing her, as it make her function clunky instead of fluently.

[Furiyuki-2778]

Why did you use the emoji??

[Somvra-1200]

It was just a sarcastic humor.

[TheJN-2163]

How is this thread sill alive?
Somvra threads never dies!

[Somvra-1200]

I recommend this thread in anther thread, and it was revive’d

But this issue is still an issue when it comes down to Sombra. Even with the infinite Stealth and Translocator, as she suffers from down-time.

[TheJN-2163]

But this issue is still an issue when it comes down to Sombra.

Oh for sure, I would love a more responsive Sombra!
But I fear for our girl. The ‘Nerf Sombra’ threads are going strong again. She just can’t catch a break! Seeing nearly 2% play is just too strong!

[Jessicka-1960]

Her use and win rates across all ranks, especially in GM have been declining since the Doomfist changes as well, so it seems the previous rework didn’t really help so much as finding usefulness in dealing with him.

[Somvra-1200]

Yes, that is one of the reasons why I stop making threads about Sombra, as many people thought I gave up on her.

I didn’t…

I just felt the need that right now since she serves little purpose now that Doomfist is not meta pick, she will plumbed once again.

[Somvra-1200]

This

[Specto-21362]

What’s the story on Sombra’s pick rate these days? Did it ever go up since her last changes, or was that just in the top 5% of the playerbase.

[Jessicka-1960]

3rd bottom overall pick. Lowest overall win rate.

GM she’s 8th lowest, and falling, with second lowest win rates.
