Was the Sombra Rework REALLY a Nerf?

Peetah... the horse is here.

😂

[@RetroSwarm]

Some of the best aim I've ever seen 😂

[@Flaco5609]

she might be ok, but there is absolutely 0 reason to pick her over other heroes now. Every hero does something unique and for sombra it was the ability to be in the backline and disrupt the enemy team with hack and some mind games. Now hack is obsolete and she can barely be in the backline. They stripped her of her value and identity.

[@SnowyThunder]

Yeah because she made the game boring and stale when shes in every game you play making you look behind you constantly. Invisibility in games is no fun, it gives too much of an advantage especially now that she has opportunist back.

[@harishrg777]

Her passive was her strongest as it she was not effective with use to translocator back in OW 1, and in OW2 with virus and teleporting translocator made full use of her kit. I really do not know why they had to rework her out of no where- well typically blizzard devs. So adapting to new rework may be a learning curve again. Problem is it changes her position in team play, I would say, she is close to a reaper kinda a game play. Taking short off angles when team fight begins, going for quick kills on low hp and come back to team, as she cant stay at different positions like before. To do like old style, all we can do is hide somewhere (traditional way) but she just lost her uniqueness. Became ineffective and very very very map, composition depended. She cant be played well in slow and poke push comp imo. Hope they revert or atleast give invisibility longer cd.

[@ItzSpectre7]

She definitely needed an invis limit, think this new version could be very interesting to play as and against!

[@Erick-l8p]

bro, are you playing your game with a wheel? lmao jokes aside, i don't think sombra is terrible now, but that was a big of a nerf.

[@ItzSpectre7]

Hey! That's disrespectful to every wheel ever made 😂

[@isaiahmaes]

She just feels more interactive instead of hiding all game

[@lkknee]

Yes, yes it was.

[@ItzSpectre7]

Curious to see how people adapt to it though! Wallhacks plus shorter translocator in that recent patch may make her more viable now. Also think people will be less aware given that she can't be invisible for that long. I reckon there's still a spot for her in the game!

[@bojackson1454]

Yes, she’s basically a frontline hero now which doesn’t make sense

[@ItzSpectre7]

Firstly, great pfp - secondly, if people always expect her in or near the front line they're less likely to check the back. She's definitely not as effective at staying in the backline now, but that may give more opportunity to access the backline at impactful moments in a fight!

[@vyrolmao]

Personally I like the rework. She’s less annoying to fight against and her dps is actually good now especially against tanks
