Of all the tanks, why does Sigma get to be the only one with an instant delete combo kill?

Because it’s inconsistent and fairly limited in application. Hog’s similar now. His oneshot combo is inconsistent and more limited in application.

Because sigma is slept on still even in season 3.
I think he is a highly underrated tank.

Are we forgetting Reins charge?
It isn’t a combo, but it is a insta death for dps/healers.

Sounds like someone just lost to a sigma,
Because it’s not a problem: hitting accretion is a major skill shot and even at close ranges hitting two direct hyperspheres follow up also is

Had a game were I 5v2 with him on the second point of junker town, dps were emoting for half the game because the enemy couldn’t get out the hallway. Had an ana behind me that just threw slept down the lane to keep ults at bay.
Rein has to charge into the enemy backline to even attempt at getting one of those kills, all the while hoping he doesn’t get slept in the process, or have his target saved by Kiriko. And now he’s had to put himself way out of position to do it, with the entire enemy team between him and safety. That’s not something Sigma and Hog have to do. They can pull off their combo from the safety of super effing far away.

Yeah, I understand it leaves him open, but I’m just saying it exists.

Because he’s not? Rein and Hog do as well. Dva, Doom, Ball, and Orisa can 1-2 hit squishies with ult.
If you’re getting hit with rock beyond like 5 meters, it’s like 50% your fault. Within 5m, most tanks have a similar or shorter time to kill.

I mean, fair, but technically a lot of the tanks can get combo kills if they time everything right. JQ can knife, axe, shoot, Doom can do his whatever combos on a squishy.

Charge is pretty chill. Super easy to put the big man to sleep. A good Sigma won’t let you do that.

His combo is so telegraphed you’d think hes a PvE miniboss
Brig can wipe the floor with him provided she has like 2% shield or more
A point blank rein charge is more dangerous despite how unreliable and reckless that is
Ya but its more in line with a boop/ environmental kill charge on its own just lets rein move around the map and dispace heros

Mark my words in a couple months or even like maybe 2 months with balancing changes he will become an S tier must pick tank. He is massively slept on right now.
Emongg said recently that he’s probably gonna be in s tier eventually and get some nerfs and if I’m a betting man it’s gonna be the combo they touch

Yeah when accretion hits someone, the knockdown animation + the momentum from their strafe makes hitting the double shot a lot harder than it looks like to the receiver

On the day Sigma can freely roam around the map with unmatched self-sustain looking for squishies to delete in the back-line we’ll compare him to Roadhog. In the meantime he remains a fairly immobile threat who has to play around a shield for self-sustain and can be melted in short-order with good burst if you play around his long CDs.

You mean the combo that he heavily anounces by screaming at the top of his lungs whilst glowing pebbles start floating around him?

play doomfist , you can cancel rock with just one punch even when hes behind his sheild
The standard combo isn’t possible with hog anymore. The only way to kill combo a squishy with Roadhog now is either with gimmicks (hooking them against a wall or something), or by walking up so close to them that the stun duration times out and by that point the enemy can easily escape your shot.
