Subscribe if Sombra belongs in a glue trap :/

[Randomacc]

I had a sombra spawn camp me once when I was playing zenyatta, I’m not that toxic in general but when I finally killed her I t-bagged for about 5 seconds straight

[lukeschroeder]

I think that if sombra fails a hack her fingers get broken and she can’t hack for the rest of the game. Healthy and balanced 👍

[myeternalsin]

Her invisibly is what really drives me nuts. Every single other game has some sort of indication where they are, a clear silhouette, glitching animations or a constant noise queue. She has NONE of that and it drives me BONKERS!

[bvghosts]

Whats even worse is when the enemy doesnt start on sombra, but sees that you’re doing well so decides to pick her and target you all game until you swap off

[HugeHaddock]

I tried to play Widow. Yeah. They insta swapped to Sombra after the first fight

[TheBagMan]

i love it when this one fucking character counters almost every fun character in the game

[shafikkrisoondatt]

I remember this from a TF2 video "If spy was Consistent as other classes he would be insufferable" and that's what Sombra is, not to mention there is very little room for counterplay for a character who can shut off abilities with little to no skill required, not to mention the fact it shuts off ults is such bullshit

[frischerapfeltee]

As an Ashe main, i still say the same thing everyday: "How the FUCK does a Latina woman DIGITALLY HACK a SHOTGUN or a Stick of fucking DYNAMITE?!" XD

[YOUNGwildFREE]

I’d leave sombra’s abilities how they are, but she takes 80% more damage when not invisible

[brandonwells]

Take one ability and REMOVE IT! Either hack, invisible, translocator, virus. Some character have 3 abilities, she’s get 4 and a passive. Honestly idk why they thought Invisibility in a team based tactical shooter was a good idea. That’s honestly insane.

[trelbosswright]

why is it every widow that gets killed once swaps to Sombra

[Jon_A]

Virus is such a stupid addition alongside perma-invisibility. It’s weird how they can never decide on wanting big burst damage and one shot combos or removing them. Like taking out ventures and junk rats combos but keeping this for example. I feel like hack should take longer for tanks and Bob to make it more high risk high reward and invisibility should either be a duration or not keep her fully invisible. That’s pretty much my yap session, I used to like playing sombra and I love the translocator changes but she just doesn’t do it for me anymore 😅 thanks for the video!

To the Sombra stans in the comment section, you clearly didn't watch the video before commenting. It's not about her being OP, cause she's not. It's about how unfun it is to play against the character. A character that pauses your ability to use cooldowns is basically the fun police. If you get enjoyment from being annoying that's fine but you're still annoying, you don't have to try to justify it.

[WWHeadquarters]

She prevents me from loving this game. No other hero fills me with this much hatred. I love OW, I have an unhealthy obsession with this game but Sombra holds me back from…then again…maybe that’s a good thing.

[shiny]

I honestly hate sombra to a personal level, if someone is playing sombra i immediately switch and focus on nothing but invalidating sombra. I will literally just stay close to the more vulnerable heroes scanning the area and if she pops up ill run at her like a rabid dog

[cloud]

As a tank player that was popping off, I know my life will turn around once a dps swaps to her.

How nice if them to remind me my place in the game 😢

[xanestudios]

Make her respawn time 2 minutes. It should take her 30 seconds to be able to hack. She can remain invisible, but make her constantly mutter spanish loudly wherever she goes. Make her translocator faulty so sometimes she throws it but it doesn't actually translocate her. Make her lose SR even if she wins matches. This... will be the best sombra rework

[ladyhdwastaken]

I mained Sombra from the start, timed invis and tp era, not from her OW2 rework version 3 (adding virus). She used to be difficult to play. Now it's just toddler levels

[zc]

As a Sombra main, hating Sombra was truly a skill issue UNTIL the virus rework. That rework removed 80% of her skill expression while leaning into all the most frustrating aspects to play against.

I also really miss being solo ulted when using TP
