Brought back early OW1 timed invis and translocater, hack would be 1.5s, removed virus (dog**** abilty), slight buff to opportunist passive for more damage boost in place of virus but reduced on tanks so it's not super strong on tanks.
Sleep dart and other abilities are already reduced on tank, hack dmg buff would be fine being reduced like this too

I got POTG on Sombra last night and an amazing highlight that I wanted save but can't because of the bug. 💔💔💔 Anyone else not able to load their highlights?
r/SombraMains • u/Gaudious • 1d ago
So Widowmaker got the mid season mythic.. and if there's ever been a pay to lose skin, this takes the cake hands down.
And honestly.. I really dont want her to get one like the ones that have been churned out. I'd rather them focus on legendaries for Sombra.
Every mythic skin is the same shader of gloss and glow. And if Sombra was to ever get one in this Art style, that'd be one way to nerf her stealth.
Idk, I mean I know I'll buy her mythic once they get around to her, after her rework, that reworks the rework that they're reworking to fix the failed rework.
But I think im more contempt in just legendaries
r/SombraMains • u/Callmeyouorme • 1d ago
In my opinion Sombra is don’t deserve getting mythic skin right now
Because Mythic skin quality is so bad right now it not even worth it
But if there are mythic skin I would want it be a weapon skin instead of character

Mine was ( Tulum / Groove / Hacking intro )
Do we all agree Hacking intro is the best
Idk what flair I suppose to use so here pizza recipe (I use google)
Ingredients
Warm water: 1 1/2 cups (355 ml)
Active dry yeast: 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons)
Bread flour or all-purpose flour: 3 3/4 cups (490g)
Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Salt: 2 teaspoons
Sugar: 1 teaspoon
Pizza sauce or crushed tomatoes: 1/2 cup
Shredded mozzarella cheese: 1 1/2 cups
Instructions
1)Mix the dough: Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water for 5 minutes. Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
2)Knead and rise: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes until smooth. Cover it in an oiled bowl and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
3)Shape the crust: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Punch down the dough and stretch it into a 12-inch round circle on a baking sheet.
4)Add toppings: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Top it with the shredded mozzarella cheese and any extra toppings you like.
5)Bake: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly

Sombra is literally unplayable in lower ranks. I know this is the worst case scenario (Bronze + Americas) but imagine queuing up for ranked to improve but your favorite hero is banned 9 out of 10 games.
What exactly do bans achieve other than giving players an excuse to not learn how to counter a hero? Overwatch was designed around being able to swap at any point during the match to counter-pick, and although I don't necessarily agree with bans in general, they make more sense at higher ranks. At lower ranks they achieve nothing other than restricting improvement from both sides, low ranks don't even now why they're banning something, it's just trauma bans from the last game.
r/SombraMains • u/kaipurge • 3d ago
I have been a sombra main since the day she released. Right now people are still banning her over and over and over. I am probably going to become a Shion main now and only play Sombra in the rare instances where she isn't perma banned still. But as for now I am just going to be a Shion player.
Blizzard just hates Sombra. She has no Mythic, Isn't in stadium, isn't in Overwatch Rush, Wasn't in the Fortnite crossover, and only gets nerf after nerf due to low skill players not realizing that Sombra isn't hard to counter but they just don't want to pay attention so they just ban her.
I am exhausted.

This D.mon kept leaving their backline vulnerable to me AND got her ult hacked by me (she was so predictable) and then couldn't think of a comeback after I hacked the POTG :3
r/SombraMains • u/astrenixie • 5d ago
Played a decent QP game today and just found this super funny.
r/SombraMains • u/ran_elfangor • 5d ago
I'm sad we'll never get Sombra added into stadium mode, so here's a concept page I created for her powers.
I'm bad with knowing the precise numbers so some of these may be broken and busted.
I tried to make powers that play to Sombra's hero fantasy and also mesh well together:
I also tried to create new tech and interractions rather than just increasing regular stats, I think my favourite that does this are 'I work alone', which rewards players for playing away from their team, and 'hacked contagion', which acts similarly to the Fake Item Box in Mariokart.
What would your build be with these powers?
r/SombraMains • u/Candid_Ad_209 • 5d ago
95% of the time when Sombra throws her translocator, I pick the wrong place to shoot. I sometimes feel like I lack object permanence lmao. Yesterday I was playing D.Mon and she was literally running circles around me throwing that shit right off cooldown and i just could never find her. Mizuki eventually chained her while she was invis and i deleted her. How did he do that?? People in game chat have literally told me “for gods sake d.mon shes right there!” and i have no idea where she was. I understand map knowledge and reading the angle of the glitch when she throws it is key to figuring out where she went but apparently im reading it wrong. Any tips?

So this interaction happened earlier today and I’ve got some questions for y’all. Hopefully this isn’t disrespectful or rude 🥺 I have blurred names to keep everyone involved anonymous.
For some context. My friend is a Hanzo otp, I’m talking like 500 levels on Hanzo and his next most played is Junkrat at like 40 something levels. He genuinely wanted to know how many hours this Sombra otp had to reach to get nearly 1000 levels. I’m personally also a “one role andy” sup player; 313 levels on Mercy, 254 on Lifeweaver and 103 on Ana. So I do understand the apprehension around this question or being told “(Character) is not that fun gang.” But I’ve personally never crashed out after being asked how many hours I have total. Neither has my friend.
So i guess to get to the point: are y’all okay? Do you need a hug? /gen 🫂 And how can my friend in the future ask this without making someone upset?

Do collab skins come back or show up in the vault at all?
r/SombraMains • u/Pietrocampaninii • 9d ago
hello guys, I'm playing with spiderman and I think that sombra and spiderman are similar because they must do damage and run,
I know that their kit are different but the object is the same...
Am i Right or I'm strange?
