Iâm tired of being the character that makes everyone feel like switching and being the character that everyone hates to play against (right after Doomfist)
I want this hero to have its own place in the game beyond âoh she shuts down this one thing, letâs play her until they switchâ
Iâm tired of being the aspirin to your Doomfist/Sigma/Wreckingball/Lucio headache
After the nerfs all Sombra is good for is farm EMP which was stated not the direction that was wanted for her.
Sheâs the most useless âDPSâ (hardly does damage in a consistent way) in this 2-2-2 setup and now you want to include YET ANOTHER interaction for people to hate her and for her to be a 1 trick pony? (Sombra shutting down Sigmaâs shield when hacked)
Instead of balancing Sigma? Instead of changing her kitâs direction to compete with other DPS?
Brig was actually good and meta dominant. Sombra is just garbage and now they give her a bandaid fix instead of giving her a proper buff to make her viable in general.
If people stop playing Sigma because of this then shes just as garbage as before.
Dude, did you just say Sombra doesnât do enough damage? Of course she doesnât, sheâs a utility DPS, if she had better damage, she would damn well counter everyone hard it would be absolute mayhem.
Blizzard should just cut their losses
give her some healing ability and move her over to the support category where she could actually reasonably fight for a spot
At least then her low DPS would be reasonable
given that she would be a support and there would already be 2 other DPS on her team
Thatâs the point, sheâs not a DPS, thereâs barely any reason to use her and take that spot in 2-2-2 when you can get kills more reliably with every other hero in that category. Iâm not asking they just buff her DPS, but that they retune her kit so sheâs useful, learn to read, DUDE.
Her current place in 2-2-2 (if she has one) is countering certain abilities and building emp.
Countering certain abilities is why everyone hates her and why Iâm starting to dislike playing as her - Iâm tired of being the aspirin to your Doomfist/Sigma/Wreckingball/Lucio headache
EMP-bot is what sheâs always been and what the Overwatch team claims in every interview and balance patch they donât want her to be (which is why hacked healthpacks healing no longer give you ult charge)
If Sombra had more damage but less utility sheâd be a better DPS and an option in 2-2-2, right now sheâs just a distraction and bothersome, unless youâre playing with a stack of well coordinated friends or youâre part of OWL.
If sheâs meant to be a hero exclusive to those situations, why is she even available in the game for the rest of us?
I never said that you said to up her damage, you just said her damage is subpar, I just said sheâs utility and if she had more DPS that would be a problem
no need to be toxic dude
I am not sure if i would call it bad if my shield get shut down/auto called back, when i am on sigma.
I think not able to call it back is worse.
It would get destroyed in no time.
And then i have to wait a lot longer to able to use it.
Well thatâs fair, sorry, but I donât want this thread to turn into a plea of âbuff Sombraâs DPSâ
Cause itâs not⌠Iâm just tired of this hero being influenced by everything but the people that play her on a daily basis and have poured hours of practicing.
I hope you realise she would leave you helpless for 5 seconds, a few more if she casts EMP right after
I think every Sigma main would complain the same way Lucio and Doomfist mains complain
Only if they would be far away from their orisa(shield), or they dont get a zarya bubble. So mostly only if you or others make positioning/resources mistakes. Or when EMP.
Hack duration nerfed, itâs nearly statistically impossible to destroy sigma shield in 5 seconds.
Short of all 6 people shooting his shield during those 5 seconds. (Another statistical impossibility)
Even with the Buff suggestion I gave regarding Sombra increasing her damage vs shields and barriers to a large degree, it still takes about 10 seconds to destroy Sigma shield. (thatâs doing 200DPS to sigma shield and including reloads)
I was never a fan of having characters like hammond be so good at what they do, that the only way to counter them is with an over the top hero interaction. Like sombra -> hammond or mei -> hammond or sombra -> doomfist.
Itâs almost like they created her and then said âRight, so now that we have this⌠we can basically do whatever we want, because she can just turn it off⌠right?â
Try to justify your Defense Sombra in competitive 2-2-2. You wonât be able to and your team will likely think youâre throwing or at least one person will leave after you donât do at least 2 kills at the start of a match
Sheâs fine in Classic Quickplay - I also see in your clip that:
Enemy team lacked basic awareness
that Orisa gave 0 about her Mercy
Their mercy was a healbot, as she didnt even try to fight you
And for some reason that Widowmaker runs towards notifications of dead teamates for the healthpack instead of going back to spawn⌠or trying to headshot her attackers
Iâm glad sheâs viable where you are and in casual games, but the hero should be viable everywhere
about her Mercy
