Why does Sombra exist?

In a game where the entire purpose is to allow you to use your abilities what sense does it make to have one hero that can literally take them away in a snap?

She is ruining the game. It has become “they have Sombra and we don’t so they win LOL”. Unless you have god aim and 1/2 shot her after getting hacked there is nothing that any character in the game can do against her.

It was possible to deal with in 6v6 because your off tank could sit back and peel for squishies. In Overwatch 2 if you get hacked you are dead 9 times out of 10 no matter who you are.

She needs to be removed from the game or reworked into something else like Doomfist was.

Never once had a issue with her. I think a lot people just don’t use their ears or now how to los her hack.

98/100 Sombras are garbage.

A team with good awareness can shut her down easily.

She shouldn’t be able to hack while stealthed though. That was a dumb decision.

I don’t disagree that sombra is a nuisance, especially since just the one ability is 90% of her contribution in a fight.

Removing her… Eh. She is super easy to counteract if you have a better attention span than a chipmunk, but I play front line, and the back line rarely cares about sombra if they aren’t her direct victims, sooooo I have a bias with hating her. It’s especially annoying because it might as well not even have a cooldown since the one that exists is short enough to jist lock anyone out of their abilities indefinitely.

A good Sombra just perma hacks the tank and unloads a clip into them, if they didn’t die then you got a lot of free ult charge. Rinse Repeat. Only bad Sombras are going for healers. The exception being Zen, he’s beyond free for Sombra (why is his hitbox so bad?).

Sombra is ridiculous. Not touching comp until she is fixed.
If she hacks = you dead.

If you interrupt hack, she just teleports away and 2 seconds later is back into fight fully invisible to hack
