I never really liked the idea of invisibility in the game, but since Sombra exists, there should be an easier way to deal with her, for example if she left a trail wherever she goes, just like that monster from Elden Ring.

Go back to elden ring then
No. Sombra isn’t even a good DPS
What would be the point of having stealth then? You can quite literally find her even on accident, especially since she has a radius where she’ll be partially visible if any enemies step in it.
Pretty sure “I’ve never liked invisibility in the game” is OP’s way of saying there shouldn’t be stealth and if there is it should have counters beyond “oopsie Sombra messed up and got too close” and “saw her transposer so fire blindly in the general area”.
And I agree.
The number 1 rule of these whine threads is asking op what character they main, it’s a troll thread if they withhold that information; they won’t say, for fear of being mocked.
No thanks.
Low rank issue, shes top tier in GM if you simply use common sense and have decent tracking. Spawn camping is a breeze with sombra, no other hero can ruin a person’s match than this hero.
absolutely not, her 4m detection range already cucks her enough
The whole “I hate enemies that have an advantage over me because i can’t see them”, while understandable, is old and has holes. Since sombra can’t shoot while remaining invisible, i don’t see it as being much of an issue. Every time she does she has to drop stealth to attack; she has the advantage by choosing when to engage (typically when you’re distracted by her team). Outside of that, she can hope to try and get a kill against players with a lack of game sense; but those with better awareness will make it less fortunate for sombra.
Take Dva, keep shooting in the direction Sombra has left.
You can do it with any hero with continous shooting : Mei/Reaper/Lifeweaver/Lucio/Brig.
Back in the days, it was called “spychecking”.
You’re talking to a GM DPS main.
Sombra is hardcountered by teamwork in a team game.
Please, sombra is no different than playing tracer. All you need is to catch anyone off guard, be it a sniper, a flanking dps or a support like zen, mercy, lucio etc. its all about timing and I’ve played her so much that its become second nature to find mistakes. Teamwork only gets you so far, all sombra has to do at that point is engage with her team or wait for her team to engage first before she comes in and attacks a low hp target. I do it all the time, I get a ton of free wins and a 56% win rate. Sombra has never been more broken and spawn camping certain heroes has never been easier. Widow players don’t even exist in my lobbies
And that is literally a two fold issue. There is barely any teamwork at lower ranks, so she is oppressive. And the teamwork at high ranks makes her useless. It’s a super flawed hero design.
Wrong. Tracer has self sustain.
I’m also a Tracer main. I know how Tracer works, and I know how Sombra is worse.
Doesn’t work as well as you think it does. Good players just peel. Sombra doesn’t have Tracer’s damage, and she can’t stay in the fight as a distraction because she has no sustain.
Doesn’t really do anything unless it’s a Support, so that doesn’t matter.
Skill issue tbh. At low ranks, just kill the Sombra.
She’s not useless at high ranks. She’s just not good.
Literally everything in the game is a skill issue. That does not mean that they should not fix wack designs. There would be no need for balance patches at all if people were just skilled.
Wrong. Needing to be better to beat someone and a character getting too much value are two very different things.
You couldn’t be more wrong.
Why am I wrong. Explain it.
Because not everything is a skill issue. For example, Mauga allowed Tank players to completely overrule game sense and shoot at the enemy Tank to never die. Sojourn doesn’t really have meaningful counterplay outside of “hope she misses her shots”.
The most prominent balance issues are at the highest ranks for a reason. When people are good at the game, extreme differences in power between heroes and roles start to show.
What would be the purpose of stealth if it leaves behind such an obvious trail? Like at that point it’d be a straight up detriment to Sombra to even stealth. You get shot or you need to initiate to self-defend and you have to deal with the delay before you can even fire back.
