The game is so much better without Sombra being viable

Now that Sombra is bad the game legitimately feels more fun. Remember when Overwatch 2 launched and they said removing CC was one of their top priorities and now there’s more CC abilities in OW 2 than in OW 1. Taking out the biggest offender of CC characters shows that less CC is good for game design, soft countering almost every character in the game with a right click ability was just oppressive and unfun.

You never played main tank in OW1 if you actually think cc is worse now

Sure, it’s great, until you get a Sombra on your team… or a Symmetra, or a Torb… or a Bastion… or a Reaper… or a Roadhog… or a Lifeweaver… or a Mercy… or an Illari… or a Doomfist… or a Mei.

Dumpstering heroes is such a lazy and short-sighted solution, whenever I see people cheering over it I can only assume they’re just idiots.

Only Roadhog players deserve that (on either team) all the rest I am fine with. Play what you want as long is it isn’t Hog. Brought to you by a Hog hater.

ITT: op one tricks and never learned to play around a sombra or swap heroes

Yes, my 15th most played hero. Definitely a main.

Sombra wasn’t good. She is just way less annoying now.

I think we need more CC. It’s the only realistic way to fight heroes like Doomfist, who can just choose not to die unless you hard stun him. The DPS role, specifically, needs more CC options.

This is how it had to be. They can’t make that hero anything other than extremely annoying and still bad or just outright bad but not annoying. They might as well save us our sanity and do the latter until they have the guts to do an actual rework that actually addresses the issues.

I hope they don’t do what they did with hog and have the game become enjoyable again only to bring the character back from their awful state to be… Buffed. Just buffed. The hog rework was not a rework because all the same problems are present and he just became stronger.

That’s a damn cold insult. Yoink.

I wasn’t gonna be the first one to like it but now that 6 others have before me

That’s a good insult. I’ll use that one in the future lol

ITT: Kids who who have a skill issue want to destroy the game that we fell in love with in 2016 because they can’t accept overwatch is all about changing up your playstyle to accommodate for the enemy team (and if you don’t wanna do that, then the game objectively isn’t for you)

Don’t say that. That’s an insult to the idiots in the world.

Not gonna lie, feels good to play Orisa comfortably again. Back to putting in hours on my favorite mechanized pony.

All of those, except doom and illari, are the strongest heroes in RQ mystery heroes. Add junkerqueen and dva and you got the full set. These heroes are the ones that are uncontested without counters. In RQ MH you can’t switch to counter and heroes like symm, mei, reaper and, especially, pharah, run the game. Oh, and junk is a beast in RQ MH.

It doesn’t help that the rng is broken and you almost never see hitscans.

I feel like they could just have stealth and TP be 2 separate cooldowns. Increase stealth cooldown and put hack on virus and give virus a limited range.

This would make Hack a skillshot which has been asked for, for forever. It would make her gameplay loop fluid again and it would ensure that the most annoying part of her kit stays in the shadow realm, perma-stealth.
