Are you enjoying Sombra's new rework? Thought I'd make a thread for (serious) discussion for it!
I've definitely noticed a lot of Sombra players eating shit, and it's pretty easy to track the translocator throw. I think you generally wanna get it over walls to escape?? I've seen some good virus' though!

@left lantern is playing her!

There's alot more focus on playing hit & run but in a different style

I've had a surprisingly easy time dealing with sombra as mercy, but I think it's because of people still trying her out
pocketing her has been very fun altho she seems to get more out of the sustain of having a pocket rather than the damage boost

i love pocketing her
i've always loved boosting a sombra but now that she can't spend as much time invis it's better

Okay so I just played my first QP match as her, and I really really like her!
I do however keep throwing my translocator at people when I mean to shoot virus so I'm gonna play around with keybinds

klaus has mentioned the keybinds suck cause virus feels like it should be on E, but if u put it on E u think it's a translocator

i really hate playing against her lol
i just had a game where i was perma hacked and u cant avoid it the same as u used to be able to
its jarring to be like suddenly hacked

playing against her has been more tolerable, still annoying but when she translocates just follow and she’s easy to track down, definitely an improvement to both player and enemy in my opinion.

i like new sombra
i look at someone and they just die
the only difference is that you can no longer get away with like, picking someone off the outskirts of a group without ur team's help, u have to either do it as ur team engages, or u have to pick off someone who's actually isolated

i think she's incredibly fun, this may be her best iteration yet
she does need a ton of number tweaks because i think the burst is too much
other than that stealth feels a tiny bit clunky but that may be because im still not used to how quick the cooldown resets for translocator to put me back into stealth and stuff
emp seems to not really be a teamfight win anymore which is good because i kinda despised when sombras before just held it for minutes hoping to get a 5 man emp when realistically u only needed to get one backline pick
i do think she needs an ult charge buff for it because it charges too slow for being an easier pulse bomb basically
sour vigil
The Stealth Passive is extremely clunky 😭

My biggest worry when I initially saw the Sombra rework was auto stealth feeling like dogshit because things that aren't in the player's control are generally kinda sucky - but I'm honestly finding it pretty okay so far, at least a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. I do think translocator knocking time off helps a lot, because it makes the passive quite easy to trigger

After I finish my challenge I will see how fun sombra is as Queen

okay after playing ne sombra, i can say she's fun and more engaging to play, it made me play more with my team instead of doing whatever i wanted and hacking health packs, plus virus helped me get the finishing kills on a lot of enemies so 10/10, and the translocator reminds me of loba from apex.

After playing a lot into Sombra as Mercy the most crucial thing I feel is that both supports need to be looking out for eachother. From what I've noticed even trickle healing is enough to keep you alive buuut if your other support completely ignores you when you get hacked + virus + a little bit of smg damage, you just insta melt. I've found the best success in keeping an extra close eye on my 2nd support to heal through virus, as well as making good use of the "I need help" ping (I have it bound to 1)

i think also different positioning helps too, like u rly gotta watch where she’s at and if you think she’s setting up for another engage, u kinda gotta position “inside” your team a bit
