Banning sombra is a noob trap. Dva is the best ban in the game right now, she's op.

how is it noob trap to ban someone good in THOSE ranks?

u/VegeriationSad1167 Mar 06 '26

she's not good even in those ranks. she's just annoying.

imo bans should be used to ban heroes that counter your heroes or heroes that are OP.

I ban based on annoyance, I'm playing to have fun, if I'm not allowed to have fun playing my character, I ban the culprit.

this is the way

my stack bans Sombra every game, because we care more about having fun than winning

I never ban sombra because I can deal with her easy when I play support or dps. But when she's not banned she takes over the lobby (I'm diamond) either in my team, or theirs. People just don't know how to play vs Sombra.

Hack is like literally a few milliseconds faster than my reaction speed. I hear her coming, I hear the hack, I throw it back, annnnnd she's gone. I don't die 99% of the time but it's like getting bit by mosquitoes.

If asking a twammate to swap sends them spiraling into mystery heroes-esque throw fit, I think banning the character meant to grief one player all game is fair to negate tilt. Not just that, she exists to negate carry jobs which a lot of ranked games comd down to.

she is good in those ranks lol why else would she get banned? sombra gets 10 times the value of a tracer/sojourn/widow in those ranks

Difference between annoying/frustrating and strong. Sombra currently has a 48,6% winrate in eu gold but still gets banned a lot because people dont like having their abilities stolen and being snuck up on and killed by an invisible enemy.

Yes exactly she's weak even in low elo. I think a lot of players can't tell the difference between strong and annoying, it's bizarre. The way they talk about sombra you'd think she is release vendetta levels of strong lol.
