Symmetra is right there… Sombra’s design actually has a place in OW2, the former doesn’t.

? Sym is kinda fine with rein vs rein being meta right now.

because she’s anti-fun and I want to commit arson every time I see her

This is not true, it’s very easy to kill her or get rid of her, just play a counter for her when u have a Sombra in your game, and that’s it

Oh yeah, but she do not deserve to being changed again. They don’t listen to use they just press the « make hero basic without identity » button

I agree. taking away her core abilities seems like an excessive change

she’s infinitely less annoying than ranged one shots.

both annoying for sure
Because she’s one of the most toxic heroes to play against, like, 99% of the playerbase HATE playing against her.
I’ve seen many players apologise in advance at the start of a game for playing her, and the answers are usually not nice.
Sombra is hated more than moira, widowmaker, etc…

Sombra is hated because most gamers are insecure babies who just want to look in one direction and pew pew ftw. Anything that makes them think differently is hurting their simplistic fun and potential ego if they lose.

no, people generally like seeing enemies and being able to use their abilities, an invisible pos that disables your abilities is just unfun

Having a stealth disabler is very bad for the game. There is no amount of balancing you can do to make such a hero fun to play as and fun to play against.

Good question OP. Why should we change the character who can perma-stealth, hack a target, try to get a free kill, and leave when things go south? Seems like a pretty balanced playstyle to me.
Sike. It isn’t. Its lame and boring for both sides.

Is it a hot take to say the game feels pretty balanced all around right now and I don’t get why they are apparently reworking four heroes?

They can’t have her as strong as they would like her, and keep people queuing for Tank and Support. 
That is basically it. If you can’t balance a hero because the game breaks in an another way when you do, then you have to rework the hero.
It depends what you mean by balanced, sure, you could make it so her win rate was pretty normal, and it IS balanced… Annoying isn’t the same as unbalanced.
Isn’t refuted by…
It is saying the same thing. Putting a “no” in front of it doesn’t change that you are basically saying the same thing as the person you are replying to.

How is being able to freely get an attempt at a kill and being able to leave when you want to not both annoying and unbalanced??? No other character can do that as easily as Sombra.

Because if they are getting the game win rates, for the same amount of skill, then it isn’t unbalanced.
Sombra has to put herself at a lot of risk for those plays. She doesn’t have cover or shields, and typically is in LOS of more than one target.
You should play her, and see how well you do… most people don’t play her because she is hard as hell to win games with.

i hope they don’t change her too much because i like playing sombra but i do understand why she’s getting reworked, she doesn’t feel as useful as other DPS
We just have to remember that most gamers are either children or people with weak mentals. So blizzard is needing to dumb the game down for them. Same reason there is so much ego, toxicity and trash talk in the metal ranks… when everyone there is either learning or bad by definition.
Comparable to why things like Marvel or Star Wars movies are all generic crap now, gotta cater to the lowest common denominator who don’t want to be or are unable to be challenged in any way mentally. Very unfortunate because this is what has made overwatch special for all these years, and it is slowly going away one cut at a time.
