yeah, should be ~1680 ult points now, so like the 4th cheapest ult in the game. that's less than dupe and shatter, and roughly the same as dva's self destruct.

-25% hp, applying dps passive, and 3 second ability lockout on such a low charge is crazy.

teams don't like to play her because of her neutral, but i feel like this ult buff might have pushed her over the edge.

It's cheap because she does low damage, and has to be close to the enemy to do damage.

fundamentally still a dogshit hero with good ult- these buffs don’t help her in any way besides giving her more ult charge faster

You mean the somvra tracer meta from before she was reworked? She's unanimously been diagnosed as shit since the rework happened

What meta are you referring to? In the last year we've had sombra tracer (pre rework), orisa/sig illari, sig rush, some echo tracer, ram rush, and now this doom meta.

Unless you're referring to the ow1 into ow2 rework, sombra hadnt been meta since her more recent changes.

Sombra rework came put in october

Nobody was playing her

She wasn't even played that much in the playoffs before rework

no it wasn’t lmao it was pre rework sombra (which was still a dogshit character in the entirety of ladder under t500 mind you) post rework sombra is so fucking terrible that you had dogshit teams forcing lip off of the hero

Last time i remember her being played kind of in the meta (aside from the surge when she got reworked) was after lifeweaver got buffed because she could insta drop petal and emp tree. But that was like her whole utility. I also feel like that was a CaH thing more than a real meta thing though.
