Part of Orisa's success with the release of Juno has been her ability to mow down the enemy team before they can build the last couple percentage points of Orbital Ray. You almost always have to play fast to beat the other team if they have Ray before you. It'll be interesting to see how this continues to shape up. Not sure where the meta is over the last few days.

I just don’t care about Orisa sooo….. 🤷‍♂️ Honestly, I’ve been used to fighting Orisa’s to the point I’m confident I can take them

I still think brig is the worst most unhealthy character for the game

Relevant, straight to the point and informative, how does this only have 100 likes?

Great video

He said a funny! Concept of a plan. 😅

I've played orisa for a long time and while I don't like this, it's fair enough lol

The heat generation effect was always unnecessary to me. A offensive effect on an already stacked defensive ability

Orisa's abilities are still really strong in brawl matchups, and her ultimate great for setting up teammates and securing space, but we'll see if these number changes move the needle :)

If they're going to continue going in this direction of sacrificing hero identities for the sake of bettering the general experience then I want to see something done with hog. Everything about him feels bad, feels bad getting him to near death just for take a breather to get him back to full hp in a matter of seconds all while reducing your damage dealt by nearly half, feels awful to get pulled and vaporized by either hog himself or his team, feels bad playing as hog when the enemy teams goes Anna and you get deleted every fight. Needs a redesign. If they're going to keep an ability like hook that pulls you into an instant death or near death depending on the character and team around the hog, then there needs to be reliable counterplay. The way it is now, out-positioning the hook isn't necessarily always an option. The range of the hook is so long that to out-position it completely means you're pretty much out of the fight unless you're playing a long range character. Hog's vape allows him to completely ignore positioning if there isn't proper CC to deal with it on your team. You can't always rely on teammates to swap for you to counter something. Something needs to be done with it, whether that be finally fully removing any one-shot capability, or reducing the range, or cast speed, I don't know. It would also be nice if Hog's success weren't so dependent on whether or not the enemy team has an Anna.

It's a big mistake to assume Sombra mains are whining about perma invis. Perma invis made Sombra a boring one trick, so good riddance. The real problem is, the way I see it, a squishy character like Sombra needs an ability to engage and disengage, same as the reaper. Now Sombra has the range and HP pool of a mobile character and the mobility of a sniper. While invisible Sombra has a noticeable movement speed boost, which she used to have constantly and now... Basically, I agree with the people saying that invis and translocator should be separate abilities. To keep the number of buttons, hack and virus could become one ability - this ability's DOT and silence effect are subject for balancing.

Yea no. She's fine as is. As usual Skill issue seems to be the answer.

9:39 Winston/Juno 👀👀

damn i just found out that the arg ended and now i found out she's gotten reworked

So many metal rank haters in the chat at sombra kind of sad glad they won’t climb in rank gg

Sombra got a slight buff, but she still feels terrible and not fun to play. Sorry Sombra mains, I guess we have to wait until mid-season patch.

Disgusting Sombra change L

I think sombras translocator and stealth need to be seperate for a clean gameplay loop and for her not to feel clunky. I think a good way to balance it would be to have stealth on a fixed duration of 8-10s like you said. Translocator should be similar to the old one where you can press e to teleport to it, but as soon as it makes contact to a floor or a wall it should tp as well (no translocator staying on the floor). Hack and virus could get into one ability: Keep the virus-projectile, but make it hack healthpacks if you throw it on them and make it cancel abilities like hack. They could play around with the virus damage-over-time or the 20% damage boost from hack, but this would make hack be a more skill-expressive ability.

another problem is for low elo. I have wayyyy too many hours in sombra because it helped with dealing with smurfs

Sombra was mid to bad before (at least at D1-M3). My issue is that now if I see a Sombra on my team it is almost always an L, go next. Hopefully the novelty wears off and people stop forcing her when other heroes do her new role better.

Widow is why

Hey have to change sombra back!

You forgot about the yeet trans locator

Because of prep for 6v6

It's just funny to me that Sombra can get gutted but heros with other frustrating mechanics like 1 shots are allowed to remain. Now I'm fine with how sombra is, im working learning to properly use her new state but in comparison to everything else makes it way more frustrating. Everyone else compared to sombra are so strong. I understand that this new sombra helps make the game healthier but keep that same energy for ALL HEROS. I remember when hog was balanced in a similar way to sombra to play with the team cuz hook 1 shot was removed but they basically gave it back to him, same with hanzo one shot was removed, ppl complained and now he can. 1 shot again. Of course Widow 🙄 and on top of that CCs and overall high amounts of DMG. Everyone needs to get nerfed in terms of dmg imo so that there more room for counter plays and other abilities that ruin the game experience as well. But dmg nerfing across the board would be a good way to start

Sombra is not designed for only one porpouse, she is a "swiss army knife", and those knifes are known for having a lot of utilitys but being poor in every single one of them. What is sombra? 1. A stealth killer designed to punish supports and squishies in the backline. 2. A character desiged to stop ults. 3. A punishment for characters dependent of their abilitys instead of primary fire. 4. A support, working arround denying and boosting healthpacks. Too many ideas combined in one hero... she shouldn't be able to be good at all of them at the same time

"sombra mains up in arms" do they know how the rest of the community felt? Especially wrecking balls?

I think everyone, even us sombra players, know that perma invis had to go. It was annoying to play against and limited sombras balance to be mid because she would be way too strong if they actually buffed her. The problem with the rework isn’t perma invis being gone at all, it’s that invis and translocator are intertwined

Everyone complaining about widow is complaining about yhe wrong thing. Complain about every character thats suppose to flank the backline being nerfed. Still waiting on genji buffs or is he just literally not allowed to be a viable pick

next we deal with widowmaker and we might START to have a balance game again

Widow has been ruining games for 8 years, meanwhile sombra has been undertuned for years and thats the hero that gets nerfed.. Okay...

Stealth just needs its own button with a different cooldown attached to it

Farming her ult is also way slower now which really sucks because it’s the only part of her kit that still feels good to use.

Overwatch in year 2025 - deletes Sombra This guy - Yeah, so Sombra got deleted from the game and most of the Sombra mains left the game, but i personally think the game is better now

Sombra is without a doubt the most annoying character in the game. I hope she loses more time. Lol. I really love to hate her because she is so difficult to play against. But seriously, I think this is a good balance.

they should do her Stealth the same thing they did with hog's vape

Always loved reinforce for his casting, this video fucking bangs dude, please make more, it’s so nice to listen to you

I actually don't hate the idea of Virus spreading to other nearby hacked targets

This is a fair take. Sombra needs more work and I believe she can find a state to restore her identity without making her completely uncounterable

Give her long-range stealth as a passive. Unconditional, past a certain distance she just stops rendering for anyone. A skilled sniper can still deduce her position by where their teammates are shooting, but normally she'll be able to pass sightlines relatively unimpeded.

Sombra is a character that belongs in a PVE game and not a PVP game, she has to be real fun to play but terrible like the Spy in TF2 or nothing else. It just won't work any other way no matter how many times they rework her.

I have 300+ hours playing sombra, and let me tell you, this rework is too much. You took everything that made the hero unique. I get it, the character was busted in some ways, but dont take the soul out of the character. The devs can and should do better than this.

Stealth really should just be its own ability again, give it like an 8 second uptime and 6 second cooldown once cancelled or something. Throwing your translocator at the ground for 5 seconds of stealth is honestly just embarrassing.

thank the casuals and metal ranks :P

They should make stealth an ability

I had like 0 problems with Sombra over the runtime of overwatch. I only very occasionally play her, so I'm not defending her out of bias, she turned super clunky and kinda worthless. She barely does anything some other hero couldn't do better.

She's seen like 4-6 reworks since OW1 and "Sombra mains are up in arms"... Funny lol A Sombra Main is just a bad widow main that lost a 1v1. Let's accept things as they are...

i think the current state sombra is in is good. the dmg boost on her hacks make her great for staying in fights It was never fun just running around invis

Great video!

Idea: take off invisibility from translocator and make holding down on ctrl activate a, idk, 6sec of invis or whatever
