If weāre using the unfun argument, genii should be nerfed, because I find him 3x more annoying to play against than sombra.

Itās quite sad, I kind of feel bad for the little fellow. With a mentally like that, itās not going get you too far in life.
Letās not scoop down to this individual level, itās not worth it. Just be positive and kill them with kindness 
and a little smart remarks/ taunting could help as well.

Oh man I love this argument.
The only way you can be hacked + emp + hacked is if you are completely ignoring Sombra which is a bad play, not Sombra being oppressive. What youāre basically saying is you couldnāt hit Sombra at all during the time you were emped to shut down her next hack and Sombra isnāt going to waste 2 hacks and an emp on a solo kill, so youāve probably got teammates with you. This is your fault and the fault of your team.
Many characters are pointless for Sombra to hack because their primaries have higher damage than hers. Off the top of my head: McCree, Soldier, Reaper, Hanzo, Torbjorn, Junkrat, Zen, Moira (her self heal on the live version can cancel out most of Sombraās damage) so if youāre struggling to deal with her so much that you think ahe should remain in her dumpstered state, consider picking up one of those heroes instead?
Oh and just to clarify, yes Iāve been hit by her hack combo. Do you have any idea how much more devastating it is against another Sombra?

Genji has half the roster as his counter + he is useless and weak af this meta so what? i see an annoying Genji i pick a Winston or any of his counters and he canāt do crap but what can i do against sombra? the only counters to her are one shot heroes.
Oh heck thatās amazing.
Its almost as if you havenāt acknowledged the fact that 1 damage can cancel out half of her kit.
Any character with aoe can counter Sombra, any character with high burst can counter Sombra, any character with info based abilities can counter Sombra.
Weāve heard this all before and proven it wrong all before. Try again once you can actually prove your point.
Edit: Sorry for the condescending tone, having a bit of a rough day and just getting tired of hearing the same excuses all the time for leaving Sombra in F-tier.

0.1 damage is Sombraās counter. 
Sombra has never been meta though. CORRECTION: Sombra has only been meta for 0.2333333 seconds.
Play Sombra and watch someone play Sombra and youād probably know when and where sheād come from and how to counter her.

I will try to explain Blizzardās mentality behind these. The reason why stealth and translocator are so slow is because Sombra is already the most difficult hero to kill in the game. Sure, she canāt kill you easily, but you canāt kill her either, since the translocator almost guarantees escape most of the time, unless you get CCād or hit by very high burst damage. I believe they donāt want her to be too flexible and slippery at the same time, with multiple escape options. Also, the translocator slow speed is possibly also so that people have enough time to react and spread out to an incoming EMP.
Iām not saying I necessarily agree with any of this, Iām just trying to give an explanation as to what Blizzards is thinking.

Hacking Soldier is the only way to win a 1v1 against him, and it actually gives Sombra the advantage, since her weapon is better than his at less than 15 meters because of its spread pattern and she has a smaller hitbox.
Hacking Reaper at max hack range almost guarantees youāll win the 1v1 (unless you suck), and will also probably get him killed if heās too close to your team without his team pocketing him.
Hacking Junkrat will guarantee that youāll win the 1v1 if itās in an open area.
Hacking Zen when your team is about to grav, blade, death blossom etc. is one of the best plays you can make as Sombra.
Hacking Moira mid/late fight makes it much easier for you and your team to kill her, and is the only realistic way to win a 1v1 against her.

I know its still situational, but those characters arenāt as important to hack just so you can win a 1 v 1 (excluding Zen of course) and even then they still have enough damage that they can simply outplay you.
I was just offering some suggestions since they didnāt want to acknowledge how weak Sombra actually is when hack doesnāt affect a heroās main source of damage.

The unfortunate side effect of their mentality is the mess of a kit filled with artificial restrictions we have now.
Iām starting to think Sombra needs an overhaul. I donāt mean a rework like removing or adding abilities but number changes and mechanic changes to change how things work but what they do is still the same.
Similar to D.Vaās DM going from a cool down system to a resource system.

Dude we are talking about sombra in general and not how she is right now she does have counters now which is taking damage but what about before? she didnt have those buffs/nerfs before but her emps could easily win fights and be much faster than today iām really going to start ignoring now because i donāt want to discuss over something that wonāt change anything in my life so have a good time trying to prove your point to non sombra mains.
So we shouldnāt help Sombra because she didnāt have many counters before (despite being borderline useless)? I mean, we should never buff Ana or Rein then since they were overpowered to some extent beforeā¦

Why do you have the heart eyes emoji in the title even though what the title says would make me think the opposite? Anyways for your post I totally agree w/ you

Itās sorta a love/hate relationship with Sombra and the way sheās being handled right now. Mad about everything, but still love her.
I donāt know, thatās how I saw it.

I really donāt see why there has to be a slight delay when casting thermoptic camo, and why thereās such a delay when coming out of it. Iām pretty sure making the transition in and out of in invis more fluid would not overpower her at all

Yeah I think all the delays is what keeps me from picking her up as one of my regular heroes. I LOVE her and her kit, but she is her own worst enemy when I play her. at least give no delay for coming out of invis, and let her start firing right away. The delay they added for an interrupted hack is actually infuriating for me.
Her kit has the potential to be buttery smooth and fast - parts of it are, but i agree all of these delays she has really breaks up that flow.
