I have play sombra alot in my days, i really love the hero but i still think that some changes is needed, today there is so many things that deal damage and interrupt her hacks like moira ball or splash from granate etc…i would love if blizzard made it so just direkt hit interrupt her hack not random splashes and so on. it shouldnt be that hard to get a hack for 5 sec…it’s not even a damage abillity.
Sombra need more improvements than that to be viable again. Since rolQ I stopped playing her in comp because you playing Sombra puts all the doing damage work on the other DPS. Sombra can’t make pick offs, she is a finish off hero and if targets not getting low enough shes useless. Harassing def comps on maps like Volskaya A or Anubis A might works until a certain level but after that they will just put a hog on the point and don’t care about you.
My suggested improvements to make Sombra viable again:
-lower hack time
-make hack and EMP turn the enemies turrets (which includes torb, sym turret, BOB) to fight on our side
Since torbs rework the turret is unhackable on 1on1 anyway, you can only hack it if its shooting somebody else and since it’s hp is lower it is just better to destroy it.
Her only use is when going against a double shield bast defense, then the EMP can win the game.
After that Sombra would be more fun to play as well, her pick rate is still all time low.
