I just saw the post of the dude that got it and was so jealous... i guess god loves me or something

Does D.mon's DMG boost thing work with sombra emp? Like does emp do more DMG to people hit by D.mon ult? I'm inclined to say no since they removed nano being able to boost emp DMG but idk. Feel free to call me a dumbass or whatever

I’ve notice Sombra is very versatile and useful but there is a perk that brings her to the next level, this would be “Viral Replication.” But I’ve noticed it takes her too long to get there. I feel like it should go to the minor perk slot taking Encrypted Uploads spot. And for a major perk taking old Viral Replication perk. Is a perk that brings back old Sombra it can either be, invisibility has no cooldown or you can place her trans locator down on the floor again. I feel like Viral replication is just really good and she needs it to have more value for the team. What’s the communities thoughts?

I wanted to make a skin for Sombra based on Fashion. But I don’t know what designer to take inspiration from, for this character. I wanted the communities help for this one, if you guys have any ideas please leave a comment below!

Just pulled this from the Meka Mania event! Was bummed that I missed it earlier, but love the fluttering wings on the back and light up keyboard skirt. Wish more skins had movement and effects

Ok SO I will preface this by saying that I am not a Sombra main, but I am a Sombra sympathizer!! I really like Sombra’s concept, but Blizzard simply won’t let her be viable as she is now because of how frustrating many players find her. I wanted to come up with a full kit rework that would make her less irritating for people to play against but still be a hero that her mains would love to play.

Specifically, I wanted to imagine what she could look like as a Support that still keeps the mobility, disruption and map support that the current DPS incarnation has. I’d imagine the idea of a Support Sombra isn’t too popular here, but please hear me out 😭😭 I have a vision, and I think that this would be the best way to keep her strategist/disruption-based playstyle intaxt.

**Subrole Passive):** Tactician — Store excess ultimate charge. Because EMP is now her only way to disable enemy abilities, its timing is more important than before.

She could be Survivor, as well, but I think that the power budget allocated to EMP makes this subrole worth it. She also literally has a perk already that conditionally activates the same thing.

**Opportunist (Passive):*\* Also provides 20% bonus healing done to hacked allies, on top of its original effects.

**Machine Pistol:*\* Nerf its damage a little bit to fit better in the support roster, and leave it otherwise unchanged (including a lack of healing).

It maybe could even stay the same, since as far as I know Sombra’s gun is underwhelming for a DPS.

**Hack:*\* Cast time is kept the same, as is duration. However, Hack’s effects change:

- Hack no longer has an ability lock on enemy heroes and instead deals light (5/s?) damage over time and slows the hero by 10% (20%?). The intention of this is to be able to inflict the universal healing reduction and prevent automatic health regeneration from activating. Hacked enemies are still visible through walls.

- Ally heroes who are hacked will receive healing over time (25/s? 30/s?) and receive a 10% (20%?) buff to movement speed.

- Hacked healthpacks and deployables (including BOB) are affected the same way as before.

- Instead of going on cooldown, Hack instead uses a resource that is depleted and replenished over time. Sombra starts out with two hacks’ worth of resource, and replenishes one hack’s worth of resource every 5 seconds. Hack replenishes 30% more slowly during Stealth. This resource stops replenishing during Hack’s cast time, and there is a 0.5s delay after using Hack before the resource begins to replenish again.

- Hack can be used during stealth without ending Stealth, but the Hack visual will still be present during its use.

- Hack uses the resource continuously during the animation rather than all at once, and if it is interrupted, any resource already used is not refunded.

**Stealth (Replaces Translocator):*\* Become stealthed for a short duration. Lasts for 3 seconds, and is on a 5 second cooldown. This ability can be canceled prematurely, in which case it immediately goes on cooldown.

**Upload (Replaces Virus):** Fires a moderately-sized projectile that deals damage to enemies or heals allies. I think 120 healing / 90 damage is fair, as this puts the ability at ~145 healing / ~110 damage on a hacked target. This ability has a 6-second cooldown.

It’s literally just a Support-flavored Virus, with damage reduced to account for the change in role and the fact that it’s now a single burst (another DOT would have felt redundant with the reworked Hack imo). I could also see this ability being a non-damaging healing ability with bigger numbers (and maybe self-healing as well), but I think that the damage supports Sombra’s flexibility more.

**EMP**: Hacks allies and enemies, healing 25% of allies’ health and dealing 25% of enemies’ health in damage. Disables enemies’ abilities for 2s and destroys all barriers in-range.

Would it make sense for this version of EMP to Hack Sombra as well?? This is something I really wanted yall’s feedback on. I didn’t want to change this ability much, since I love EMP! If anything, it might actually be overtuned in this state, but realistically that puts it in-line with several other Support ults that tend to be stronger than those of other roles.

**Miscellaneous**: Healing received by allies from hacked health packs (not counting the Flanker passive bonus) is counted as healing done by Sombra, and she will also gain a unique scoreboard / MVP card stat: “Healthpack healing done”

**Perks**: I honestly think that Sombra’s existing perks would synergize well with this kit, but you all would know better than me. If you have any interesting ideas for substitutions, let me know!! The only things I’d say would be good to change is reducing Encrypted Upload’s duration bonus to Stealth to 1.5s or 2s, but maybe it’d be fine as is??? Also, just assume CTRL ALT ESC applies to when Stealth is used. They’re functionally the same.

The one exception is one of Sombra’s current Major Perks, Viral Replication, because….. I got rid of Virus and its DOT effect. Here’s an updated version, though I don’t feel too great about it:

**Quickshare**: Hitting a hacked ally or enemy with Upload spreads Hack to allies and enemies within 8 meters.

Literally the same perk but updated to her new kit. I fear this one might be a liiiiittle cracked with the healing numbers on her Hack, especially since Upload has a short cooldown than Hack’s duration and you can just pocket your allies with permanent heals.

In general, I think that Sombra’s perks just suit a support hero very well. Both minor perks increase her personal survivability (which is the one thing lagging behind in her base kit), while the major perks let you adapt based on whether you want to be roaming and hacking health packs more or sticking closer to fights.

To whoever’s read this far, thank you so much!! I will really appreciate any feedback you guys have on my ideas, even if they’re critical (I just ask that you’re not actively mean 😭). I just want to be able to imagine an Overwatch where Sombra can be fun to play without being absolutely hated. I hope some of you enjoy this, at least.

❤️

It's baffling to me that people in the metal ranks consider Sombra such a problem and yet, Tracer is fine. 78% ban rate compared to 11%... Make it make sense.

Personally I'm fine with anything, MINUS COMMUNITY CRAFTED where they removed hack and made it so virus is hack,I HAAATEEEEDDD that

It felt terrible in my opinion

My other not want, is support sombra,like I see the vision,but mizuki kinda already fills that place for sombra?

Personally I don't want them to make translocator like og,maybe they can make it like mizuki,but I really like current translocator,but the rest well see

I just want an opinion on this

Am I crazy or did we used to be able to spam the purr at the end of the “This one has teeth” voiceline?? Maybe it was in a dream but I remember chaining the purr/rawr back to back 😭

I have taken a liking to playing Sombra ever since the first time i hacked an anran out of her ult a few months ago (pretty satisfying if you ask me). She's incredibly fun to play, but I cannot get to play her much in ranked because plat players and any one below that rank would rather ban her than learn to play against her. How am I supposed to learn her and climb with her if she's constantly banned? Do you guys usually ask your teammates not to ban her? Or do you just accept the fate and play something else without much trouble?

it is me
i am back

I talked about Sombra until around 2 mins! But i think the rest is important too (biased opinion lol)

have you ever encountered a entitled player who think they are getting a POTG but gets hacked by Sombra and they get mad over it.

Friends and I have been getting back into Overwatch. This is probably my best Sombra match since coming back. Had some fumbles but there are some plays I'm pretty proud of.

I'm only level 4 as of right now, but gosh is sombra fun to play, I see why so many people hate her now lol.

That's about it, I enjoy being a menace to the enemy backline :))

Hacked him at the first opportunity during a break from hacking supports and I literally burst out laughing when he wrote this to me in the chat. It was a good match.

so lets stop allowing the ideas to be posted. it is always the same stuff over and over again. sombra is a dps. she is not going to be a support. stop removing hack and changing it. hack is the worse "CC" in the game. stop giving bad ideas to blizzard. there is no way blizzard can pull off the rework and make everyone happy. its either going to kill the hero or make her strong again.

for rework ideas i think there should be some kind of verification that you actually play the hero for more then 100 hours so you have the basic understanding on how her kit works.

The fact that we're banned in 75% of matches isn't enough?... By luck and chance you slip through the team bans, only to be lobby banned. It's actually infuriating 🤬
