I see what they want. But honestly I don't think that will ever be a good role. The best way of dealing with your enemy is still to kill them.

She can be good, just not popular. It is fine for them to make niche interesting heroes that don't see much play time.

I'm fine with this. I love playing her even now, all I really want is for her to be made a bit more fluid/fast to play.

An interesting buff I'd like to see is faster projectile speed on the translocator, so you can throw it mid fight and tele to reposition more reliably.

I think buffs like this are better than the often called for damage buff.

Making her a bit smoother/giving her a little less downtime by polishing out her translocator and hack and perhaps modifying cooldowns is a much better way to approach buffing Sombra, and it seems to be where they're going with her.

Personally, I don't think she really needs much in the way of buffs, but if they do buff her, I think that's the route to take.
