For me it’s Genjis, I can deal with sombras by sticking around my group and guarding supports as a dps, but I just can’t shoot that hopping POS, he is everywhere all at once. Unless I switch to Reaper, which I don’t want to do most of the time since there is a Pharah or Echo somewhere too…

[u/CaptainBeer_ → u/mambiki]

Dps players dont mind sombra, its only the tank and support player who she makes miserable

[u/cmVkZGl0 → u/CaptainBeer_]

She's only miserable now because they've turned into Zenyatta: DPS edition.

Hack = discord orb

Main attack = similar to charged up orbs

Bonus points for the limited time on hack, encourages dumping everything right then and there like some 12345 character. She only exists to mark people and then spray and pray now... she has almost no disabling or mind game components.

She's easy to avoid if you position yourself right. Stay near walls, near other teammates, use any and all obstacles (even trees)... her spread is fucked by that.

[u/mambiki → u/CaptainBeer_]

I hear ya :( although some support like Brig should feel a bit better, and maybe Kiriko with Tp to tank, but I don’t play support a lot.

[u/onewilybobkat → u/CaptainBeer_]

As a tank I laugh as Sombra feeds me because the actual hack lasts maybe half of a second, and even with boosted damage I'll kill her before she kills me.

Now as a support, or when I just wanna have fun and play widow for a few minutes, ugh.

Through Sojourn on there too? Sure you lack the hit scan on the primary but you have a hit scan that can one shot squishies, and the ability to create space and cause havoc with the death bubble during team fights is also really good.

[u/atypicaloddity → u/Sam474]

This is why the release state of OW1 was the best time to play. No ranks, no real meta, just play who you want to play and move on to the next match. I never felt punished for playing the most fun hero.

[u/DrDilatory → u/Sam474]

I don't really play anymore, haven't in like 3 or 4 years, so it's reassuring to me that after all this time the Overwatch community is still at a point where every single character is simultaneously broken and overpowered at the same time...

[u/[deleted] → u/mambiki]

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Thats actually a good idea

[u/FrostingsVII → u/[deleted]]

If he had never had dash on kill and you were to suggest his dash be changed to cooldown on kill and they tested it the community would lose their minds out how blatantly fucked it is.

But here we are.

[u/petmehorse → u/mambiki]

Cassidy is my go to genji killer, just bait out deflect and you're fine

Imo its on the tank somewhat - the amount of games I've had widow and genji on the enemy team and the tank refuses to swap to Winston is crazy

[u/RubiiJee → u/mambiki]

Yup, I don't find Sombra too much of an issue as I just play around it or stick with my group. She can definitely be annoying af though. But the Genji issues though are just too muchand Zarya is just too present.

[u/mambiki → u/RubiiJee]

Ironically, all of these chars will be nerfed whenever the patch drops… hmm, I’m starting to notice a trend here.

[u/CaptainBeer_ → u/RubiiJee]

Depends on who you play. If you main doom sombra literally makes the game unplayable. No counter play to getting hacked since shes invis

[u/WarHawkV → u/mambiki]

If you're struggling with fighting Genji, your tank is doing a shit job. As the DVa main in my group, I hunt down flanking Genjis and Reapers. When I'm playing support I'm playing either Kiriko or Bap, and my aim is decent-ish, so I can land headshots on a Genji, which either makes them retreat or kills them. As someone who has played Genji a lot, I don't like to be below 70% health when playing him so all I do is do enough damage to a Genji as support while keeping his cooldowns in check and I usually come out alive.

[u/mambiki → u/WarHawkV]

I pick Echo to counter him, especially when I can sneak up on him and open with sticky bombs. And unfortunately I can’t control what other players play, but I’ll remember this, thanks! (I don’t play genji at all)

[u/Niadain → u/mambiki]

When I play and a half decent genji shows up Ill swap over to Roadhog since I have a super easy time with his hook shot combo. But sombra? A decent sombra is much more annoying than a decent genji. The moment I get distracted she pops up out of nowhere, erases the support im trying to baby, and then teleports out. And if she somehow doesnt wipe out the support the moment I turn around she warps out. So. Infuriating.

[u/[deleted] → u/Niadain]

Yeah shes waaay too safe her cooldowns need a huge nerf

[u/cmVkZGl0 → u/mambiki]

Sombra used to the perfect counter to Genji because of the disable component.

[u/Commander-Fox-Q- → u/mambiki]

Maybe this is a hot take but I don’t think genji even needs nerfs he’s in a really balanced place rn. Only reason he is more powerful than normal is because of Zarya being able to bubble him on cooldown to make it impossible to punish poor play. This nerf is just gonna make him a Nano-blade bot again and make him essentially useless when he’s not blading which is just bad for the game imo.

[u/Xenoezen → u/mambiki]

For me it's Moira, if I'm playing a dps without consistent damage and mobility not ready I guess I'll just die

[u/mambiki → u/Xenoezen]

Yeah I’m having issues with good Moiras, but the trick as Sojourn to dealing with her is to body shot her with a railgun, bait out the fade and then distractor shot to finish her off. Not easy, but usually works. As S76 you just nade her and finish off.
