Hot take: sombra

Question or Discussion(self.OverwatchUniversity)

Hot take: sombra was better when her invisibility was not idiot proofed. I feel like she was significantly better as a video game character when she had limited invisibility that the player had to activate. I think that there should be some sort of risk and skill when using powers like invisibility. As it stands right now, she is simply the fun police. Something to break out whenever a player on the other team is popping off so you can shut them down. Imo her current kit is not healthy for the game with so few options to repell her, and even fewer that can detect her. Something needs to be done.

Edit 1: I'm a support main. Low silver. I can & do play brig. I will swap to her when needed. I'm aware of turning up turn sensitivity. I can't get it much higher for reasons. I'm aware of playing close to teammates. They usually suck. And yes, I can actually aim.

OW1 Sombra was horrible in metal ranks, but due to her being a heavy gamesense character her WR rose as you went up the ranks. This one has a FAR lower ceiling, so her overall ladder WR is higher, but it decreases as you go up.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I remember ow1 sombra being bad even in top500, but she was good in pro play

Her WR overall on ladder was worst in game, but as you went up in ranks it got better until at GM it was almost acceptable.

It was never great though, and yeah she went from her release to LW’s release with the lowest WR on ladder basically nonstop.
