Even when it already sticks to a wall or on the floor, if you walk slightly close to it, it magically sticks onto you? Like what? Wheres the logic in that lol
The most inconsistent ability in the world btw, unironically rather have Virus that actually hits the intended target rather whatever the nade is doing.
I wanna say as a person working the corporate ladder in their twenties, I love starting my work day watching your videos. Been doing it for years. You’ve gotten me through some stressful work days Fitzy. 💙
As a Zen enjoyer, I will say... You do a great service. Not only do you punish us for abusing Discord Orb you help train our aim, and for that I appreciate :3
Hacking Pylon first then virusing supports is a very good use of it, but yeah, Hack def is situational. I kinda consider that a win, honestly, given that it's one of the most hated aspects of hers.
@@icefiredragon94 you really don't think it's worth hacking the bap who has 2 abilities that can easily keep him alive + his boots to potentially get away from you?
I spawn camped supports, genji's and hanzo's all day yesterday. They weren't happy to say the least. Her 1v1 has win potential has definitely increased at least for me. I also noticed, that many support players are not healing Sombra's, perhaps due to the new mechanics of her being more frontline and they aren't used to it?
As a support main, I have to say, for me is out of fear to reveal Sombras position, sometimes it's too risky to go for the heal. And risk either losing a damage or hack opportunity or having her be insta focused. Normally I only heal sombras with Ana out scope, or some other not so evident heal while the enemy team is close. Add to that, That I feel for the enemy supports and myself when there is a sombra around... thanks trauma XD
I've 1v1 masters and gms I haven't come across a 1v1 top 500 yet, so maybe I can't, iono. I just virus first, shoot while strafing, stop shooting when he's 50% (95% of genjis will deflect at this point and he should still be taking dmg from virus He should be 25% or less health at this point), translocate his dash, throw it up into the air, on the way back down start shooting. Doesn't always work, but I get out alive if it doesn't and re-do all above when he's back in spwn. Ive had more successful attempts than not. @@cool08player
My opinion of the matter if they were to buff sombra (which i think they will based on their past) is that they give her movement back from invis or tp gives a temporary movement buff when using it. Dmg increase on her already bursty kit is already at the tip and any increase would lead to her be opressive and busted.
I know Fitzy said he preferred not having to rebind abilities, but swapping Virus and Hack's binds made hitting the virus much easier. And with Hack being more situational and requiring little aim, I don't really need it on the mouse anyway.
Virus and soldier rockets have similar speeds too so there's a pretty good reason to rebind if you already have some gay dad experience Also pressing shift bc of old muscle memory to stealth isn't as punishing when it's hack which you can let go and cancel, rather than virus which goes on cd I've talked myself into rebinding lol
i like the new sombra but emp just feels unimpactful for anything other than solo kills. I hope they consider increased hack duration from emp only or something.
Agreed. If you miss virus with emp you basically just wasted it. It doesn’t feel great to use anymore. It’s like a glorified pulse bomb or barrage, use it to secure 1 kill
The funniest thing is that the night before the new season went live I was playing Sombra and not letting the enemy team have fun, as usual, and one of them actually said, "I can't wait for the new Sombra rework". I bet he's regretting saying that now. 😂
fact virus projectile speed is just a bit higher than sym orb speed (51 m/s compared to 50 m/s) if wanna train accuracy on it maybe can play some more sym with orbs
2:47 i agree i hate that skin it looks like ana, i couldn't find their illari even after she yeeted that pylon into ur team until she killed you, i thought it was ana and i was like "how do they have 3 supports?"
I learnt all I know about sombra by watching you. At first, I hated her, then saw one of your videos and now I main her. I love how chill you are while you dismantle teams, thank you for your videos, you're brilliant
with the removal of opportunist, thoughts on locking out abilities for longer when hacked? Or at least for EMP? Not the full duration like OW1 but watching a full 5-man EMP do absolutely nothing is a bit of a tell.
I feel like if they just tweaked translocator to keep going until it hits something or the floor and then auto teleports, plus give you the option to activate it at anytime it is flying through the air, it would make her feel much smoother and less frantic to play. It just feels like too short of a tp distance by just a tiny bit. That way you keep the ability to chase her as it's still not that far plus you get some agency back with your skills.
Sombra’s kit feels rlly fun to play, but EMP has so little impact now. Feel they should revert EMP to its ow1 version (having it do no dmg and instead be an aoe 7 sec ability lock out) that way she’d at least have impact and utility again.
I feel like the virus should be a special case for the DoT abilities concerning health packs. Like grabbing some health doesn't cleanse the virus; just heals the damage it did. It feels like it should be a status effect that causes damage over time; like Junker Queen's jagged blade.
Wish you could still destroy your translocator before you teleport, or have a way to teleport early. I feel like it lost a lot of nuance in that instance with me (loved throwing it above the enemy team and then just emping the front line without even using it, maybe using it when they forgot about it)
I'm not a Sombra main, simply a person who always liked her and played her from time to time. I don't think I like the rework and I probably won't play her as much anymore. But I'm glad others like it.
i think people just aren't quite used to aiming it on sombra yet; for a long time, sombra players only had to aim primary fire, everything else was just an "aim vaguely in the desired direction" ability, but now half her kit is aim-based.
Quick question: Why does he use the new ultimate offensively, when he could potentially cancel three ults from the enemy team? The ult doesn't give damage buff anymore, right?
Emp is one of the best initiating ults in the game. While it can be used reactively, it's always been better to use it aggressively and just don't give the enemy team the chance to ult when it matters
Obv I'm sure high level sombras are more annoying, but as a gold mercy main I've yet to have troubles with sombra. I can kinda just ignore her after she hacks me. It might be bc I have good movement and can dodge virus (my only skill in video games is movement) but idk. I'd like to hear what other support mains of various ranks think. ML says its easier to counter her on support.
I low Diamond/high plat games, but as a LW player she can be somewhat annoying just cause my hitbox is big and supports don't peel it's more up in the air tot he Sombra's skill level. LW has good self sustain but if she gets the hack/vrius combo off its more rough but if she doesn't it's doable. His ult also hard counters her ult (which is lethal with Virus) so he has that for him. Moira also just hard counters her Sombra can't do anything to her lol.
I'm just a gold Sombra main. I've actually been having MORE luck successfully eliminating Mercy now. The virus gives a guaranteed 110 damage which helps offset my poor aim when it comes to tracking a moving Mercy. You just have to hit her with the Virus when she's in between movement.
@@CopShowGuy that's why you never stop moving as mercy. Even if you aren't GAing, you should be moving unpredictably. When playing sombra I've found killing a bad mercy to be easier than it used to be and a good mercy to be harder than it used to be.
I'm trying to break my habit of always hacking people first, it's not really necessary all the time like it used to and quite a few times it fucks me up
The immediate stealth after throwing translocator is actually bs. Her cooldowns are also super fast. I like the general idea of her intended new playstyle but they need to tune the numbers
You're basically only wearing an "I'm here" sign when you hack so that's why most people just virus then shoot. If even virus at all due to its linear and slow speed
I would say hack is only good when you are on high ground so they won’t see you easily I guess. I’m still kind of struggling using the new sombra. But in death match it’s easier to get kills.
Frustrating from a support player to get quickly eliminated with little chance of outplay … or to depend on your team to realize you need help, mine just complain they aren’t getting healed and don’t have any clue
can't you still outplay her by winning a 1v1 by interrupting hack and dodging virus? If she doesn't land one or both abilities on you, she won't win the 1v1.
I feel like she’s worse against the comps she already struggled with. Is better against the comps she was already good against. And is better in individual DPS matchups. I mean geez virus and flick any dps and if they don’t get healed it’s a W
Sombra feels so bad in damage when you don’t hit the cube.. I always do so good as Sombra but I’ll be lucky to not have the least dmg in the dps group.. I provide utility but people will still say dps diff🤦
countering mercy players and annoying them and pissing them off to point where they stop healing and dmg boosting people to whip their pistol out to chase me around the map only to die to me in 1.5 seconds is now my favorite thing to do in ow2.
Man, watching Fitzy trying to make Sombra work just hurts, even Zen would have no problem dealing with new sombra, her translocator is so telegraphed now, any good player that has a movement ability can easily chase her down just like that, she's like a worst soldier with the ability to hack, and even then it's better to use your virus than hacking moat of the time. The only silver lining to all of this is that I don't main sombra so it doesnt matter to me, just feel bad for sombra mains out there, your character pretty much is the roadhog of dps, unless it's like a dude like cyx using him, you're better off using another dps. 😂

Depends on who the hero is. Probably want to be hacking people like Baptiste first.
It is. Arguments for like baptiste and stuff dont really matter when you can take everyone else out first by chucking virus then shoot, no hack.
Hacking Pylon first then virusing supports is a very good use of it, but yeah, Hack def is situational. I kinda consider that a win, honestly, given that it's one of the most hated aspects of hers.

Yeah that Illari skin is egregious. It should be made into a bigger deal.
I feel like Virus could be a tiny bit faster in terms of travel speed (not instant of course) seems fairly easy to dodge even accidentally.

The immediate stealth after throwing translocator is actually bs. Her cooldowns are also super fast. I like the general idea of her intended new playstyle but they need to tune the numbers
