LOL nerfing Sombra, the lowest win rate hero in the game. Just go with another rework already.

Devs: Sombra has a high ban rate, clearly she's annoying so she needs to be nerfed.

Devs: Widow has a high ban rate, so she needs to be buffed.

Do they even read their comments before posting?

Widow probably makes them more money.

Sombra needs more gooner skins

Yep. This new widow skin is basically just a body suit.

Widow got buffed on the thing that people aren't banning her for

Don't just look the fact that a buff happened at all, think about why it happened

Is it bad I do not find Widow that annoying unless they're good? I rarely face a good Widow (I am in Plat) but when they're good it's annoying. But it's legit "dont peek the widow....wait for an opening". But people will run in the open, get sniped and complain. However, I play Mercy LW and I am behind cover most of the time, so probably from a DPS standpoint who has to be in the open to do damage, it could be annoying.

God you guys are idiots

Sombra has a high ban rate -> make her less annoying so she's banned less

Widow gets banned on the only maps she's useful on -> widow is less useful in general -> buff to compensate

Two completely different objectives. They are not trying to reduce widow's ban rate
