that could be a bad thing for genji, imagine putting up deflect and as a sombra you can purposefully position him badly. that's like a single mechanic that can hard counter genji. on the other hand if you cancel deflect before sombra's translocator hits thereby making her translocate into your team
With your thinking out loud, and VOD review i now have an 86% win rate as sombra so thank you. Im getting called a smurf in diamond and its all thanks to you
I know right?! Haha, I guess with virus it's not really important unless you're trying to shut someone down. And so few can be shut down by hack these days, everyone seems to be channeling now.
Hack doesnt do nearly as much anymore mainly just needed if you need the kill to go faster or if you need to cancel an action. Generally easier to virus into damage, then hack if they try to escape to shorten the time they have to get saved/healed.
The way you make your videos about sombra has been really helping me. I’ve recently started playing sombra ever since they reworked her and I’m having a blast people on the opposite team, type expletives in the chat at me and I love it. I’m a salt miner.
I’m loving Sombra’s new kit generally. But the passive stealth feels super Janky. If I could choose, I would say add stealth to a third button but I don’t think they want to do that. My other solution would be to have stealth only activate when you throw the translocator- but stealth activates instantly
I mean it's not truly instant but most of the time it comes down right after i translocate. Generally. I found it more like a rhythm you learn to feel out
I would never not, I'm a bit sad that I'm gone for 10 days not even a week after the season started tho :( I'll be streaming and recording starting the 28 again tho :D
ive watched like 5 of your videos with the new sombra and my dumbass just realized, 1 week later, that your frame says questron... i thought it said QUESTION this whole time. hahahahhah
one thing that I would like to know is when to aproach a target using the combo hack + virus + shoot or using the virus + shoot, what I should use most of the time, if I hack they have more reaction time, but if I use virus they receive damage slower
What I find to be the most effective is that if you have a sniper character/high damage character such as Soldier, widow, hanzo, etc. It's better to just wait and then virus + shoot, but if they're more isolated like ana/zen, then it's safer to hack + virus + shoot. Though there is the off case where if you're trying to stop mercy from a rez you can do the hack + virus combo to get some quick ult charge and translocate out if things go south
Hello, I need help ... is there a configuration somewhere so that you can cast Virus / EMP from stealth ? As it is , I have to press the hey once to get out of stealth, and a 2nd time to activate... any help would be nice ! And thx a bunch for your video !
Unfortunately any offensive abilities will take you out of stealth, though one thing to help smooth out the transition is to just hold down the virus button, emp and then translocate out! Makes it quicker and a little bit safer
@17:17 funny enough, i think the patch on 12/12/23~ actually did fix that bug. Just today i 1 shot several people with a single virus, through the window :)
Why do you never hack health packs? Especially on a Sombra mirror I try to do it because I certainly don't want to get locked out of a health pack by their Sombra.
Wait so why not hack 1st and then virus if theres benefits. When spawn killing is it hack and virus or never hack. When do you hack? Also i dont understand the emp after virus
Does no one think it’s valuable that when you hack and THEN hit with virus it does 100 damage in 2 seconds instead of 4 seconds? I feel like that never gets discussed and I feel like that’s a pretty big difference in trying to hack first 🤷♂️
While the hack virus combo does damage a lot faster, but in most cases with high damage characters and players who have decent aim when they get hacked they whip around and go ham, so sometimes it's better to virus and shoot for the same damage instead of letting them know where you are first. Though I find the hack virus combo does work well on low mobility characters like ana and zen, it just depends on the situation tbh. There's still value, it just depends on what you're trying to do
The new Sombra took me from 55% win rate to under 38% this season. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong lol. A part of me misses the escape. I usually have among the most elims and least deaths on my team but we still lose anyway.
top 500 leaderboard isn't out yet... so why are you saying you're top 40 sombra? also you didn't use comms a single time to coordinate emp with your team, and it seems like these are diamond 2 rank matches, not gm/top 500 matches, i can confirm by looking up the usernames ingame. goooooooood luck making this guide applicable in gm1 when the average reaction time per player is a lot faster and actively aware of sombra's presence.
because I hit rank 34 as a sombra player..? but also dawg in no universe am i going to do thinking out-loud in actual top 100 lobbies, that's where i actually need to use my brainpower to play the game properly. This is just me being in a space where I can specifically focus solely on the gameplay being transfered from my brain into a video. I would've appreciated a little thinking before commenting but to each their own :Shug:
Imagine if Genji could deflect translocator and be able to teleport with it afterwards...

Genji teleporting would be too much. Just make Sombra TP to the deflected location. That's enough to just throw off Sombra a bit.
Imagine your fighting genji by a cliff and make him kill himself

Yes, questron is the best sombra teacher. Unfortunately I am not above 80 percent but I think 61 is fine for now ^^
*sees thumbnail* "Never hack first" well, I've made a tremendous blunder.
It taught me not to emp before virus
Lol
I was doing that mistake

All the footage I have now was recorded in the 5 days after the season started, next time I get to play on the 28th I'm 100% doing more
12:37 the only use for emp now: the little hop

I've noticed that ambushing enemies Sombras is really strong now ngl
Enjoying these during your absence
this guy plays sombra like it's 5d chess. bros always 4 steps ahead with the translocator it's crazy
Amazing teachings learned watching your video ! You the goat sombra !
I knew questron was nasty but I had no idea he was Himothy H Himsworth
watching you miss cubes makes me feel better about me missing them 90% of the time
I was just wondering if you were going to make one of these for the new Sombra

I would never not, I'm a bit sad that I'm gone for 10 days not even a week after the season started tho :(
I'll be streaming and recording starting the 28 again tho :D
his gameplay and reflexes are on fire with the rework
Yea Cube/Virus' DOT doesn't get boosted through window. Unless they fixed it. Only the impact damage gets boosted.
Yeah found that out like 2 games after this lel
Nano doubles it tho :/

I have a question what are those big containers in the background I wanted to get some but don’t know the name all I got was THE PURPLE and that’s it

Generally the pros don't outweigh the cons, so I prefer not to yeah
@@Questron01 Oh shit I just saw you made an entire video about this already. 😅 Well thanks for the reply anyway
Why do T500 never shoot the head? Especially, against tanks. It does more damage.
12:35 just insane reflexes
Question. Cassidy, Moira, Sigma. Bap... who elses ultimate does EMP cancel? Right now I basically use it to ensure an individual kill.
Orisa is shown in the video, and Im 99% sure that it takes out sym wall
@@nickchabot1302 I heard him say Orisa. How does Sym wall work? Just walk up to it and EMP?
Mei ulti, I believe. Ball ult is disabled temporarily.
It works on Mercy and Bastian I think when I played her.
@@MistarZtv It does not cancel nor interrupt Valk, unsure about Bastion
Omg when you were being sarcastic about genji this was my face 😧. I was like “i shit on him every opportunity though”
Why would you use virus before EMP?
Your energy is beautiful. I love you.
Do you feel like rebinding virus has helped you to get used to virus instead of hack? Also does it help with virus accuracy?
Why did the chicken get hacked by Sombra, Questron?
Never hack first never what?!?!?!
I’m glad you are top 40 and not top 50, otherwise I would have completely disregarded your opinion.
Wait so why not hack 1st and then virus if theres benefits. When spawn killing is it hack and virus or never hack. When do you hack? Also i dont understand the emp after virus
Please do more of these
Wow i made it into a question video
how is he translocating and landing 180 the other way.
You can go into settings and turn off camera locking so that you can move your camera while transolocating
Hey questron do you think higher prices lower sensitivity is better for sombra?
tf was that tank doing
im curious what's ur sensitivity?
top 40? I wonder who the other 39 are?
I hit rank 34, top 40 is referring to overall DPS leaderboard in EU-- not 40 sombra players :x
@@Questron01 aaah, that makes more sense
I miss the mustache D:

they did that change a while ago back in like season 4
