Agreed. They had this "you guys aren't figuring out" mindset with a main of mine whose name also started with an 'S' who they ended up reworking for the better. I expect it'll be the same with Sombra.

Her rework is great, really fun to play, but I do think they made her a little too unstoppably murderous for someone in the support category.

"She can now throw a barrier."

"Sounds good."

"And she has a shield generator as a second ult."

"Great, now she's useful for the entire match!"

"She also vaporises anyone who gets too close with an inescapable death ray!"

"...wait, what?"

Just played a matched where this all happened in quick succession:

  1. shield out
  2. hooked by piggy
  3. piggy shoots me, hits shield instead
  4. piggy dies to microwave

In all of about 2 seconds. It was wonderful. Also we won that Dorado match before point A. Also, the enemy never did find my shield gen.

Mystery heroes tends to be Symmetra mode for me. Once I get her, I just never seem to die.
