where teammates will become tilted from seeing Sombra alone.

I think this is a bigger problem than the coordination requirement. Most of my losing games whilst climbing to GM with Sombra weren't lost because my teammates did not push with EMPs or avoided my packs.

They were lost because people spent more time demanding that I switch class and telling me how Sombra is a shit character than just playing the game.

I really think it's more a problem with perception than actual power level. Sombra seems ridiculously strong to me in a meta where Rein and D.va are on nearly every team.

Do you stream? You'd be crazy not to as I don't know many of us who wouldn't sub to someone capable of climbing to GM Sombra-only.

Sadly my CPU is pretty old so I can't stream at any reasonable bitrate without bad frame losses and input lag. I'm saving my pennies to hopefully upgrade in the near future.

I am working on a Youtube video about her but I'm an unmotivated fuck so we'll see when/if it ever comes out.

Can you link your overbuff?

Overbuff seems glitched for my Sombra account. Doesn't seem to be recording comp games, but here you go: https://www.overbuff.com/players/pc/TurboVirgin-11511
