Am I the only one that thinks her infinite invisibility is too much?
I’m not one for nerf this and buff that and I have no idea if she is ‘balanced’ and suits competitive play well. Though like I say, I personally find her invisibility over the top.
I do understand that she requires a good aim, is that where her balance lies?
It’s not that it’s “too much” but I hate the fact that it lowered the skill floor and cap both while playing the hero and playing against the hero. She required active rotation to get value out of her before which was better and more rewarding. With that her opponents could also be very smart and pace her rotations so that they could approximate as to when she was going to go for a flank again. It actually made the gameplay with her really interactive and rewarded playing smart (which a lot of casual players hate). Other than that she’s fine
I actually preferred the old Sombra.
Not because she takes less skill now or she is op now - nope.
I liked the old more because you were faster. You had a time limit. You had to react sometimes quick (5 Seconds on your timer left, stealth is about to run out). She was also faster which gave me the feeling of a real flanker but right now I feel like “Hey guys! Wait, lemme run behind them!” 20 seconds later “Okay, we can start now!”
They said that the reworked sombra was played by most players in the intended way. Considering the composition of the playerbase: they’ve made her casual friendly.
I think it’s okay.
You have a 6v5 for as long as she’s hidden.
Of course, when she appears is largely down to her (or a 200iq spray-and-pray) But it’s no different to Tracer having control over Blink, or Doomfist suddenly deciding to 180* a Rocket Punch. There needs to be reactive skill on the non-Sombra player’s part (as well as proactive.)
I do think hacking is a little quick–especially from behind ally cover. I think most heroes should be given CLEAR time to react, whereas now it almost feels like the HACK is inevitable unless you’re Spiderman.
