    Lower ranks the opposing team just swaps to a beefy or high healing comp and sits in a pile. Good luck killing anything. And expect a chained CC on every engagement.
    Lower rank supports will fixate on the WB because he's always under attack and it's very hard for non-ball players to know if he's actually in trouble. This leaves the DPSes unsupported and especially in low ranks where they suck at positioning, they go like 8-15.

    I'm a Sombra main and I didn't think her matchups versus tanks would change much when reading the proposed changes. But Sombra really did get weaker against all dive tanks. I've been hunted down so much by Doom, Ball, Winston, and D. Va. And, as said in the video, Hack > Virus into a tank means very little. Not even worth doing unless the tank is the last character left after a team fight.
    I'd still take that trade if that means I'm better at fighting squishy characters, though.

    So as a ball player (was looking at possibly 1 tricking him) my biggest issue is that my team will generally throw the moment you pick ball. I know I have alot of work to put in on him but when team mates just refuse or dont know how to play around a ball tank it makes winning very hard

    • @josewolf9884
      @josewolf9884 Год назад

      That happens quite often, but also tells you what kinda teammate you were matched with. Luckily Ball is the least team-dependent tank in the game. You can pretty much play around healpacks and 1 v 1 any squishy as long as there's no enemy Brig involved or a heavy CC comp (and if that happens just swap to Hog go annoy your teammates even more, lol)

    • @XeaMau

    • @willwunsche6940

      Honestly feel like people throwing when you picked ball was even more common in Overwatch 1. But at the same time Overwatch 1 had a lot more flexibility of situations and modes like 2cp. Ball worked well and was played more often. So maybe it was just that there was a higher volume of ball games back then

  • @GLPitt1
    @GLPitt1 Год назад +6

    A big advantage against Illari is that you can flank, find the pillar and force them to change position. Also good for Diva to do. Most evenly matched games now come down to good Illari pillar placement and opponents wasting time trying to fight at a choke point while the other team is continually healing from the pillar.

    Just want to open by saying I’m a diamond ball main, so not the highest ranked opinion in the game, but I disagree with your take that Sombra doesn’t really counter ball. There is still nothing more debilitating than a point and click ability forcing me out of ball mode to walk around inside the enemy team for over a second, feeding ults. I will agree that she counters him a bit less now, in the same way that Bastions rework makes him not as hard of a Winston counter as OW1 Bastion. Good guide and tips besides that though!

    • @abowloflentilsoup3793
      @abowloflentilsoup3793 Год назад +1

      Yeah I have to agree with you. You can definitely play around Sombra and chase and hunt her really well, but disrupting and engage is really valuable. Not to mention she can always get into position via stealth and invis start/end and hack are all faster now. So if it's one on one you can definitely kill her, but if she's around her team when you engage (especially depending on what other cooldowns are being saved for you) she leaves you free falling without a parachute.

    • @josewolf9884
      @josewolf9884 Год назад +1

      in my experience with the new sombra, in order for her to ruin your engages she has to give up on flanking and stay quite close to their supports to hard focus the ball. At least if she goes aggressive you can now chase her instead of playing cat and mouse.

    • @arielcastillo3513
      @arielcastillo3513 Год назад +1

      Try and work on your engages. That’s how got into masters. Sombras are always waiting for you to make a move then just hold down the hack button on you. You can play on their anticipation. Instead of slamming down from Narnia or swinging thru the hole team, roll around and harass the team until she reveals herself. At that moment roll at her or focus her hard and you can chase her down if she tries to tele away. In my experience, whoever makes the first commitment loses. Hope this helps.

  • @michaeljcaboose1152
    @michaeljcaboose1152 Год назад

    The logic in the pre-sponsor part of the video is super flawed. Sombras rework didn’t make her any less effective against tanks, the damage buff from hack is compensated for almost exactly with the 120 damage from virus, and in fact the dps is a little bit higher. She’s actually BETTER against tanks now with her vastly increased mobility and and staying power.
    Previously if your flanker destroyed the translocator or you otherwise knew roughly where she was coming from, you could chase down a sombra. Now she’s everywhere, all the time and doesn’t have to retreat in order to hack you over and over and over.

      The difference is Sombra not only loses stealth from hacking you, she also only has one mid range blink to get away.

And if Sombra has to wait around her team to get value, her playstyle is just a worse Cassidy.

      @@Setholopod i'm commemorating because he was able to do the "s" sound for "ça", i don't think i need to be that purist about portuguese, it isn't even his job to pronnounce the proper name and for someone who probably does not have background with the language he did well

    This is so funny to see a video of ball supposedly being 'not that bad'. GL maining ball and getting more reports than cheaters.

    Fredo, my brother in Christ, I deeply enjoy the content, but please never say Esperan-ka again. It hurts my portuguese-speaking ass, right in the heart. The "C" in that word is a "ç", which sounds like a soft C, or, in this case since the letter after it is an A, a double S.
