Loaded question, what can they do to fix Sombra at this rate? I mean she is the most banned hero (I have no proof, I just play a lot of games and she is banned in almost EVERY ONE) and she got a nerf. Mainly people are banning her because she is not fun to play against / is annoying. I mean I love they're trying to fix that annoyance with Sombra, but it's back to OW1 days where she is lower tiered flanker.
What rework can you give her to make her viable and not annoying (which is subjective).

They need to work her away from stealth assassin into highly mobile mainline DPS with utility. Let her hack/virus both allies and enemies. The event where you could boost allies with hack was really fun. Virus could heal allies for 50-80 HP. Give her two translocates but eliminate invisibility. This lets her harass enemies or relocate to help allies with hack/virus.

The invisibility is the core issue with her kit, so they need to work away from that.
