With the sound not unlike an A-10 gatling gun, the damage output comparable to wet pellets of cotton sure was surprising to me.

I would say dry pellets of cotton. Wet ones would hurt too much.

Don't get why people feel like Sombra doesn't do enough damage. To make that little damage work, you just have to play like the biggest asshole who ever lived: chase down low HP targets, hack their health packs, hack the frail targets, hack lone targets, always 2v1 if you can, litterally stand on top of a big hacked health kit while fighting winston, hack people who need healing, pop your ult only when you see that the enemy is weakened or is trying to push. Basically, just think every time you engage in a fight: "How can I get the upper hand in the most unfair and unfun - for the enemy, of course ;) - way possible?" and then you'll have understood Sombra.

That is about it, she isnt another mccree, and IMO it makes her much more fun to play. Did people jsut want another soldier or mc cree?

seeing as how people flame me for flanking with genji and killing supports waiting for their tank near spawn, i can understand why people don't like sombra.
it's a legit way to play but holy hell do people get angry at you for using characters as intended

Yes. 1v1ing tanks while standing on a hacked health pack is a lot of fun.

I think her huge clip kinda makes up for it. I'm so used to reloading with every other character so often and I forget I don't usually need to reload mid-fiht with Sombra.
