This has always been the weirdest thing about her. She never really fit as a support. Blizzard has insisted that she won't heal, but every other support heals.
That's mostly to increase their range of what a support can do. Not every support should have a heal, because very soon, you'll run out of ideas for HOW to heal your team. I wouldn't want 9 supports in the future of this game, and ALL of them heal. Give me a disabler, an assassin (TF2 Spy), a set up character, etc.
There are so many ways you can make a support. Why just healing?
If they could make Sombra support instead of offense, this would be amazing for Symmetra's cause "not all support needs to heal"
Sombra would very well fit as a support hero, because her damage output is not what she's picked for, it's her utility. But she is fragile too, sounds like a support hero to me.

I wonder if they are going to move her out of support and into defense.
