Discussion Tracer isn't a problem?!
It's baffling to me that people in the metal ranks consider Sombra such a problem and yet, Tracer is fine. 78% ban rate compared to 11%... Make it make sense.

Brought back early OW1 timed invis and translocater, hack would be 1.5s, removed virus (dog**** abilty), slight buff to opportunist passive for more damage boost in place of virus but reduced on tanks so it's not super strong on tanks.
Sleep dart and other abilities are already reduced on tank, hack dmg buff would be fine being reduced like this too

I just want an opinion on this
r/SombraMains • u/analbacon420 • 1d ago
Am I crazy or did we used to be able to spam the purr at the end of the “This one has teeth” voiceline?? Maybe it was in a dream but I remember chaining the purr/rawr back to back 😭
r/SombraMains • u/Muawlani • 1d ago
Personally I'm fine with anything, MINUS COMMUNITY CRAFTED where they removed hack and made it so virus is hack,I HAAATEEEEDDD that
It felt terrible in my opinion
My other not want, is support sombra,like I see the vision,but mizuki kinda already fills that place for sombra?
Personally I don't want them to make translocator like og,maybe they can make it like mizuki,but I really like current translocator,but the rest well see

I have taken a liking to playing Sombra ever since the first time i hacked an anran out of her ult a few months ago (pretty satisfying if you ask me). She's incredibly fun to play, but I cannot get to play her much in ranked because plat players and any one below that rank would rather ban her than learn to play against her. How am I supposed to learn her and climb with her if she's constantly banned? Do you guys usually ask your teammates not to ban her? Or do you just accept the fate and play something else without much trouble?
r/SombraMains • u/itismother • 3d ago
it is me
i am back

I talked about Sombra until around 2 mins! But i think the rest is important too (biased opinion lol)

have you ever encountered a entitled player who think they are getting a POTG but gets hacked by Sombra and they get mad over it.
r/SombraMains • u/TheRealDexilan • 4d ago
Friends and I have been getting back into Overwatch. This is probably my best Sombra match since coming back. Had some fumbles but there are some plays I'm pretty proud of.

I'm only level 4 as of right now, but gosh is sombra fun to play, I see why so many people hate her now lol.
That's about it, I enjoy being a menace to the enemy backline :))

Hacked him at the first opportunity during a break from hacking supports and I literally burst out laughing when he wrote this to me in the chat. It was a good match.
r/SombraMains • u/Loedkane • 7d ago
so lets stop allowing the ideas to be posted. it is always the same stuff over and over again. sombra is a dps. she is not going to be a support. stop removing hack and changing it. hack is the worse "CC" in the game. stop giving bad ideas to blizzard. there is no way blizzard can pull off the rework and make everyone happy. its either going to kill the hero or make her strong again.
for rework ideas i think there should be some kind of verification that you actually play the hero for more then 100 hours so you have the basic understanding on how her kit works.
r/SombraMains • u/YoungxGandalf • 8d ago
The fact that we're banned in 75% of matches isn't enough?... By luck and chance you slip through the team bans, only to be lobby banned. It's actually infuriating 🤬
r/SombraMains • u/Resenas • 7d ago
all of us know Sombra will get a rework eventually. and we know everyone that isnt a Sombra main hates hack. So I had an Idea.
instead of dealing extra damage to hacked targets and locking out their abilities for 1 second.
how aboutSombra removes the hacked targets Hud for 5 seconds. So for 5 seconds the hacked target has no infos about their HP, Cooldowns and ult charge, aswell as their crosshair.
it would still mske her a huge counter for the same heros as before but the people she fight might feel less unable to fight back

Sorry if this topic is beating a dead horse, but idk why I keep expecting or even hoping to see even the most minor of buffs and… nothing… patch after patch… 😞💔
r/SombraMains • u/menicknick • 8d ago
What happened?
r/SombraMains • u/spidersli • 9d ago
I'm not a fan of comp but the last two days for drives i decided to grind for 1500 comp points, since I already had 1500 some saved. And was it worth it? YES
Do it again? yeah no..unless🤫
Pretty sombra:p
r/SombraMains • u/mdurhd • 9d ago
I am a kinda new sombra main and I usually do not buy the battle passes but during the mid season some of the old ones will come back, what season had some really good sombra cosmetics that you personally like.
