He makes it look so easy but he has the map awareness and Sombra experience to do so.

Actually have to put some effort into her now. Looks like she isn’t bad.

I think they will get in and make some pretty chunky numeric buffs, after the widow mythic season passes.

Or more likely they will do a small tweaks or buff in midseason, then sombra will do a pharah or brig 2.0

You can take out tanks like this if they blink.:hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed:

That’s not a weak kit in this economy.

Sombra is niche now so the numbers won’t look good. They are prolly gonna do some upper tweaks sooner or later IMO.

If they end up buffing her damage to get her win rate up, yeah.

Which is what I expect they will do.

I think she needs speed more than dmg as passive like genji tracer.

I’m good, running a new media company, so all my days is coding stuff for it.

I’d love to get more gaming for forum time in, but I’m just crazy busy.

That would be the better change, but I don’t see it happening.

His twitch summary of the rework is literally, ā€œOn paper, looks terrible. I tested, shes terribleā€. I love how someone picked a random game of him actually able to do something on sombra on a decent map out of the many rough games he had to benefit their own narrative.

The argument is not that Sombra isn’t capable anymore. The argument is that she’s more boring and potentially more unhealthy in some ways compared to pre patch. A separate argument is if she’s got any value in high elo now when she didn’t before. Which I don’t think she does.

The rework imo is still a failure. Sure it can be salvaged, but so could the last one. Dev’s just lack the capability to land on a version of her and stick with it.

You have to put ALOT more effort into Sombra now, to get half the value, that other heroes get just by CoD shooting the enemy.

Is that kip dynamite from napolean dynamite?

That’s Sombra in a nutshell, from now to the original design in OW1. This version is much better for everyone surrounding Sombra compared to the previous iteration because she’s not anywhere anytime while also being forced to do more damage by virtue of not being invisible as much.

I imagine this version of Sombra will be harder to play but easier to win with than the last version going forward. When you’re doing well you’ll be doing more, but doing well will happen less often if you aren’t well versed with the character.

Tldr, harder to play, which is good for such an obnoxious character design.

Looks like he’s camping mega health packs.
