Traditionally the Halloween themed skins have almost all been awesome, it's obvious that it's the occasion for the art team to go wild.
Yes. Traditionally Halloween has had the best and chinese new year has had the worst (not sure if they will keep that event tho)
This is the first time I’m actually excited about skins of the new season. They all are absolutely amazing
Hey whale
At what point does the FTC require a "creator" to disclose their relationship with a giant corporation they endlessly shill for? I mean, when every channel on multiple platforms are essentially Blizzard/Over watch advertisements and PR, there should be some kind of asterisk tag saying "This person has a very close relationship with this corporation. They pay him, they fly him to events, give him early access and his entire career is deeply dependent on Blizzard/Overwatch. He is a shill, these are all ads and his entire online career has been Overwatch/Blizzard PR."
even,.,.., the lúcio skin,..,.,.
My favourite has to Lilith Moira and I don’t even play Moira though seems I’m gonna have to fix that
I've been pretty angry with Blizz because of all the crap they've pulled with Overwatch 2, but Season 7 looks like a big enough WIN (minus the Sombra "rework") that I might actually redownload it and give it another go.
Sombra will play extremely differently now. The TL change is massive, the loss of wall hacks on low health enemies is huge, and her damage output is uncertain between lack of boosting vs hacked enemies and other adjustments.
I have over 250 hours on Sombra and this would all be good I just don't think they really needed to change the translocator I guess I have to see it first before I judge but kind of like what flats said having to take the time to turn around and show my back to the enemy just to get out seems janky
Every watch Questron play? His entire thing is "Don't use the TP as a get out of jail free card! Use it to move around the map, use it to jump between high grounds!"
He already plays Sombra as if this is her kit - and he normally doesn't spend a second of his time sitting with his team and hacking the tank.
@@RLplusabunchofdumbnumbers yeah but he doesn't always tele when it hits the ground
@@timbombadil4046 exactly it takes away alot of control for the Sombra player and it needs be fast if it's gunna be effective
@@timbombadil4046 The Season Seven trailer literally shows Sombra TPing into the air and then activating EMP - where are you getting the idea it only activates when hitting the ground (other than people mis-reading/assuming and then spreading that misinformation)?
Everybody who hasn’t gotten the pixel sombra spray achievement is definitely gonna need to get it now before the rework
What was the requirement again? I got it years ago but I forgot what it was 💀
@@YukiKitsune361pretty sure it’s hacking 15 people without dying
if all you do is hack in a qp game, it’s probably not gonna be hard to “throw” one game to get the achievement even post rework
Honestly just stop
@@mot.. ?
what people dont realize is that sombra will be easier to kill without being able to tp into a room she will be easier to dive on. Shields will also be good against her.
But her fronlining more means more people on the tank, making him even WEAKER
@@somerguy3527Nothing really changed at that point. Sombras hacking tanks ruining their lives is something normal. You just take an extra dot and double damage from her abilities now.
As a ball main I have been trying to explain how this is way better. If I know where sombra is when she is hacking it's hard for her to hack.
On top of that she isn't a treat 1v1 anymore because she can't get away. Doom and ball have the mobility to chase here with new transloccator... she used to just farm ult off tanks 1v1 and then poof... no more if that trash
@@dirusj4006as a doom main I'm happy for the change. The most annoying part for me was her get out of jail free playstyle. I have no problem fighting off a sombra when hacked the problem is she tps when she gets low and just farms ult charge. Now she has to commit heavier so I am confident I can take her out in time. And like you said with ball and dooms mobility we can see the Translocator and chase her down.
But shes supposed to be a backline flanker. With this change, it completely changes her playstyle which is dumb. Shes like a brand new character now.
Imagine a ptr where we could test changes and give some feedback prior to a rework release. Maybe like an experimental patch we could play for 2-3 weeks before such vast changes.
they never paid attention to that data anyway lets be real. People would test it, people would complain or make a good reason why its a bad idea and it always makes it to live without any changes.
All a PTR would do is split the player base and make queue times longer. They just use the live game to test now, it's honestly the same thing.
@@DjNaste Yep I agree with you. They want the live game to be as dynamic as possible, and they do a good job keeping it polished and coherent. The rare bug that slips in makes it a quirky experience. However if the experimental patch was in the same client as the live game, I wouldn’t mind, they just need to introduce multiqueueing finally.
ptr? more like an OTS aka Overwatch Test Server
Paladins has this
The Sombra re-work will be EVEN worse for tanks when you realize not only will she be front-lining more, hacking the tank... but that pesky Zenyatta, Ana, Widow, etc. are going to be more likely left unchecked.
At least we still have tracer to do that
@@Code_KeeperIn this meta? Good luck
Yup they completely removed the flanker play style from Sombra. You can still take off angles, but with no reliable escape she’s forced to stay with her team and hack whatever’s in front of her
Hack gets cancelled when you take damage and you cant go invisible if youre front lining
@@--Glory--don't need it. Still loads of tracers doing well
as a cassidy main I'd do anything for them to remove hinder and just give him his power back in his primary fire range again😭
No cass cringe
@@patricklodge1576ho do you main? 😂
Why have they not thought of giving him a whip
@@ReedoTV i hope not they will probably make it like a lw. Pull hahaha
Cass rework: give mah boi him lasso.
sombra can't translocate to safety as easily to reengage in stealth 3 seconds later anymore. the devs said that they're looking to force her to stay engaged with the team more instead of resetting. Even though hack was kept the same, its kind of nerf'd because she can't get the drop on you as often, as it still can and often will be interrupted when you are aware where she is.
hopefully this is a good change.
Don't forget it's also nerfed with the opportunist passive being removed which gave 25% bonus damage against hacked enemies
yep so she plays with her team more and therefore just becomes a tank denyier who will probably also have the damage to melt tanks combined with virus...
@@isaacsimpson8098 someone can't read.
@@christianfreed3352 They also said they'll tune her SMG so I'd expect it to get a flat damage buff in exchange for losing opportunist.
@@darthplagueis13It's a 0.5 damage per bullet buff
The real question is how does this affect balls Legacy
Probably will still be the main target to hack, might be even worse if she lands virus while he's hacked
@@dakario2995 hamster went from a ball to a flat plate served for the enemy team because god damn, he doesn’t do jack squat. It sucks too when I played him the second most aside from Doom being my most played.
Ball specialist/otp here.
I noticed her abilities seem delayed since she has to come out of stealth now. So I’m wondering if she will still be able to hack while invisible. If she cannot then I can probably piledrive before she can hack.
What I don’t like is what flats talked about always being near the team. She basically just a straight anti dive character now.
Also if she can still hack while invisible. Aside from translocator, this is basically just a buff. So if she becomes meta, again assuming invis while hacking, then… this may cause me to actually quit. I can play other tanks and will swap very situationally but wb is the most fun character in the game and if I cannot play him most of the time there is no reason for me to play the game.
@@silentdc404 from a former ball main. that’s why you shouldn’t main JUST ball, he’s a unique pick but is very situational. she’s not gonna be able to hack while invis anymore
@@bluefaygox23 a true ball main would never swap situationally
Seems like an easy fix for tanks would be a passive against some things like discord/boost/hack(effect less time or hack takes a little longer to cast)
They already receive reduced knockback and ult charge from heal/damage, makes sense that a beefy tank takes less boosted damage etc
I’ve always wondered if discord should have a cooldown for when it leaves a target, but I just had a different thought about discord’s damage amplification diminishing overtime whenever it would normally be removed, like line of sight being broken, until it reaches 0%. Only then can it be reapplied to that target.
I would say make a Hack change instead of a Tank passive. Make Hack cast time a number of seconds equal to the half the hundreds place of the hero's HP max (minimum 0.5 seconds). What this means is that tanks take significantly long to hack, Rein takes 3 whole seconds, JQ takes 2 seconds, Tracer takes half a second. This makes tanks so much harder to Hack, DPS and Support are better targets to shut down their kill ability.
nah cause then you make orisa immortal
@@Troy2092 She already is.
Atleast like this, all the other tanks can be aswell.
They did this recently with Ana's sleep dart. It lasts for 5 seconds on dps and healers, but only 3.5 seconds on a tank.
The team always goes extra hard when they have a strong theme to work with. Love to see it.
I think more than "a lot of content" its just a lot of skins. Tons of hard work obvi but not really gameplay. That being said new co-op event looks like it could be a goog bit of fun, new pretty map, and 2 character reworks is pretty nice for an off season
I don't think we're ever getting reworks on the level of doom/orisa going from OW1>OW2 again. They called brig's ultimate change a rework and that was literally 7 months of waiting just to give her a wider shield during ult. Just keep that in mind whenever they use the term "rework" from here on out
all of the revealed skins are bangers 🔥🔥🔥
The increased damage on hacked targets was tied directly to her old opportunist passive meaning that it is now gone. Imagine that they will increase her machine pistols damage to compensate
If they don't. It's gonna be kinda painful killing anything with sombra, especially with stuff like pylon being around.
You'd probably have to hack, then shoot virus for the double DoT and then shoot
@@spaghettisnake2238assume u won't get cleansed
@@wanted2657 this came from a reddit post about the sombra play test.
All according to Questron who talked about this on stream
NUMBERS ON THE SOMBRA REWORK:
Translocator has a max range (short range is all we know, not long enough to get highground on eichenwald 2nd point. Once you reach the max range, you tp. You have no control of when you tp)
Pistol damage is BACK to 8 instead of 7.5
Hack is STILL 1.5 seconds of lock out
Virus does 90 dmg over time and the DOT is done quicker if someone is hacked but does not give more damage. Does 90 dmg over the course of 2-3 seconds??
EMP does 30% of the current max hp instead of 40%
Also says that passive stealth is EXTREMELY annoying. If you translocate to emp, you will stealth, and then unstealth
You can hack while in stealth still, but not when using virus nor translocator
Claims you can still flank but if you dont get the kill you will 100% die
Contesting point will pause stealth??
SLOWER DURING STEALTH.
In summary, she just fucking sucks and her entire playstyle/s where she can be anything she wanted is gone. She is now generic and boring and an entirely different hero.
@@spaghettisnake2238the dot isnt doubled, just the impact damage. the dot just does its damage quicker but its the same amount of damage as normal.
@@demifolk8940 yeah learned about that a couple hours ago. So basically it's even worse
As a Sombra Main, I would make the argument that if their goal was to make her commit to fights more, the translocator change is going to do the opposite, because rn I end up with generally the same amount of deaths as the rest of my team because I commit harder because I CAN hit E and get out quickly, and I always try to push for that kill. If I have to wait for something I have to throw to land? I'm going to throw it hella earlier and disengage far more frequently and early.
Yeah that's what I was planning on lmao
yes so u sombra main wont get out jail free every time you make mistake, the bug is already making your kill much easier
i see what you’re saying but it will be significantly easier to chase a sombra harassing you so thats not entirely true. she cant just continuously tp back when she kills someone or harasses the tank. you can follow her now extremely easy instead of playing the stupid “haha watch which direction i tpd and try and find my teleporter”. Which wouldn’t even always work because smart sombras dont put tp directly on health packs. you have to have 1 person either waiting for her or you you destroy tp(which doesn’t even do anything half the time).
it removes that annoying game that was only enjoyable for the sombra. and at the casual and low rank level, this is even more annoying and unfun to play against. i much prefer the direction this rework is going in. either her tp or invis had to go and they kept her invis which was a good choice.
It's not about sombra players making mistakes, her damage is ass.
@@ducle3595 That "get out of jail free" card isn't free, and also - if you actually read instead of just got angry because "rah rah sombra" you'd note that having that card meant I commit more - as does any halfway decent sombra - which leads to being more killable. The opposite of your implication.
Every time I see a Sombra rework I think of the same thing. Just make her hack speed depend on the targets remaining health. Ie. an enemy on low hp will get hacked very quickly and finished off but a tank like rien or ball aren't going to get chain hacked over and over again. The most annoying thing about dealing with Sombra as rien is that you have to rip your mouse sideways while flashing shield just in the hope of breaking the hack. (which sometimes still goes through the shield anyway)

That Moira skin looks cool.
Edit: Ok, all of the skins coming soon are cool.
Too bad they will cost an arm and a leg to buy a few, let alone all of them.
@@scotttimbrell8632
I mean the like 5 free event skins and shop skin sounds pretty good at least
Although they did screw us with the life guard mercy, that 🙃bronze drake sigma skin pack with brig and hanzo.... and.. but hey the event skins are free
As long as that widow skin is in the battlepass, I'm chilling
@@diablotry5154right, I didn’t see anything in the blog about her tho 😿
Edit: deez
That Sombra no-no zone is fire 🔥
Using the TP to get around instead of as a get out of Jail free card is **EXACTLY** how Questron plays - and guess what? He doesn't just sit back and hack the tank. The idea that's all Sombra will do is just unfounded.
People will always complain about sombra especially people that don't even play her. She could get nerfed to the ground again and people will still complain about her whilst not realizing the struggle it takes to actually do anything with her or make epic plays with her. They think hack is an instant win as if most things in the game don't cleanse it. Its getting frustrating because as a sombra main all you really do is get flamed for not doing enough damage or not getting enough elims compared to the rest of the damage roster.
what they should've done for translocator is given it a timer, and after the timer is up it auto tps, but you have 2 charges that work like junk mines and rein firestrike.
and to change hack, just make the cooldown a bit longer and reduce the effect on tanks or just add this to the tank passive: "Status effects are reduced by like 15%" or something, would exclude ashe's dynamite fire cause yeah
Sombra trans actually use to be on a 15 second timer when she was first released in ow1, but it was removed for a reason I forget. Now that the game is so different though, it may be a good idea, but no way to tell unless they implement it.
Isn't that how she used to work? Couldve sworn it used to have a timer and 2 charges but idk I didnt play her back then.
@@cagxplays9602 it didn’t have 2 charges, but yeah it did have 15 sec timer. Invis also had a timer, though I forget how long.
I would make Sombra's hack duration based on enemy's max health, so it stays the same for the squishies, but takes longer to hack a tank because they have more hp. And then add a UI (maybe like a spinning loading bar in the center of screen) that tells you how long it takes to finish the hack. Overall it would be a nerf for her hack but tanks are generally targeted anyway.
A longer hack time for tanks would be perfect, since it allows more counterplay, you can easily duck behind a corner or shield to cancel hack, thus causing a balanced cooldown/space trade.
They gave her Loba jump drive lol
The rammatra skin looks like one of the enemies from lies of P
Skins are not content, please stop saying skins are content
This
They are tho. Maybe not the best but they are
@@ConspiracyCinema They literally aren't. Content changes gameplay.
Changing a visual does not alter gameplay.
@@sublimedhaze7792content can be anything. If they add a table too a map that's new content.
@@dantevic if the table has a hitbox, then yes it is content. If the table already existed and you just change its colour, then no, it's not content.
They should make the remix skins part of the same skin and you have the option to switch between them similar to mythic skins
How does the same company that made characters like Ana also make characters like Sombra? It’s like they completely forgot how to make fun and fair characters.
Edit: Y’all are flaming me but name 1 support that is fair/fun to play against right now. The only one is Lucio and he gets no value in this meta. Ana has to actually hit her sleep, and both her nade and sleep are on high cooldowns. Characters like bap and Kiri press a single button and get immediate value. Ana is the only character that feels fair, when I get slept it’s like “ah, she got me” when kiri teleports its like “f*ck this game”. The only time Ana has been unfair is when she is meta with brig and when that’s happening it’s usually because brig is a problem not Ana.
She is fun. . . . . just not for those not playing her 😅. I hate her.
Ana is one of the big issues in ow lol
I'd say both characters are fun and great to have on your team, the issue is it sucks to fight against them.
@@ondakojees she is not even top 50 issues lol. It's other characters who make her a problem not ana herself.
You picked such a bad example
The new stealth isn’t the same as her old one. Treat it like support heal passive where if shes not taking dmg shes gonna go invisible. Also, treat her translocator similar to Loba’s bracelet from Apex, because when used bad it’ll obviously get you killed but it forces players to commit to their target and think out when to throw tp
New season looks cool, but I gotta say, the new game mode looks like a lot of "scrapped" pve content, like the powered up abilities
The Azmodan skin is great. the structure of wreaking ball with Hammond as his head is perfect.
Says alot about the state of OW that absolutely no one wanted to collab with them shortly after their 1st year anniversary. They can pump out more content, but they've had 7 years to figure this game out, and they still fuck it up royally.
Doesnt sombra lose her old passive now too, on top of her less likely to just get out of jail free means she will be more dependably able to be dealt with by other dps i think this will be way better especially for all ranks below grandmaster
Yeah she lost opportunist.
I love the idea of the virus as a new ability, I just think they should have kept her kit the same and just replace hack for virus
the best way to do it in my opinion would be virus locking out abilities for only 0.5 seconds, that way it can still interrupt but won't be a persistent thing, and increase damage the target takes from all by 10%, this along with the damage over time, then you keep everything else the same except for the ult, which would stay as it is now except the lock out duration would be 2.5 seconds, 5x aslong as normal, this way the ult lockout will feel long and impactful while the normal lockout will just be a quick, weaker interrupt
I feel like making sombras hack be incorporated into a cass-nade type projectile but you only get the hack effect after a short duration after being stuck. That way you get a tiny bit of time to get out of the way and you also have a chance to block the hack before it hits you.
The DIablo team DEFF. gave notes on the Moria skin. ITS ... JUST SO SICK looking cant wait to see it in game. Might give them some money for it.
Easy solution is make armor health and over shields reduce/negate CC so it has to be chipped thru before blowing CC abilities. Could also affect critical hits so certain heroes have at least a shot making a move against a half way decent sniper when at/near full HP
Just have tank passive work on all CC. Easy fix.
it's better to give that straight to the tanks or they'd have to remove the armor part on brig and torb
As a Ball OTP I absolutely love the Sombra changes (on paper, gotta see how they actually play in game). The two things I hated the most about her were her get out of jail free card and the extra damage she dealt with her Hack. Now she's gonna be forced to 1v1 me and won't be able to tp away or have a cheap advantage due to Opportunist. Now she has to commit.
100%. Been waiting for this
No, now she will stay close to Frontline. Good luck escaping from your engages
As a sombra player let me tell you this could be one of those situations “be carful what you wish for”. Sombra’s get out of jail free card kept her in check because it was vital for her to even function as a character. Do you not realise that her machine gun is getting buffed now to no longer need hack for damage? Between that and her new ability for all you know the sombra may just be able to deal even more damage to you… so yeah don’t celebrate yet. Killing her will be easier sure but now her team will be there to protect her more and she can still throw tp. Sombra didn’t do enough damage to pressure ball out before but maybe now she will.
@alanthurston7904 lol ball players are almost never on the Frontline so it's not really a issue.
Literally going to just play with the team and hack you ever time you slam. If she's never going to be in your backline (which I'm not convinced is the case, but whatever), then where else is she going to be?
as someone who plays sombra and always forgot to put down the translocator and throwing it every time when i get out i feel like it is still a some what get out jail card but the invis is what going to change it now because you don't have a way to always get to their back line as easily.
fun wise this is going to be very interesting since you actually have to think how you get out when you flank.
I think especially with hack the tank becoming the dominant sombra playstyle i think the role tank passive needs an effect that reduces the duration of negative statuses like sleep nade hack dynamite etc
DO NOT USE YOUR CREDITS ON THE CHARACTERS THE MISSIONS TO UNLOCK THEM ARE SUPER EASY AND YOU CAN LITERALLY DO THEM IN A FEW MINUTES
The missions on one of the characters are currently bugged so she can't be unlocked
Getting hacked as tank won't really be so bad without that dmg boost and she'll be much easier to chase down for Doom and Ball
Every Lucio player is going to have so much fun with the Samoa Lava area
for Sombra there is no info on specific cooldown timers which may change, but i can see her being what i call the main assist, she identifies a target applies hack and aids, the rest of team assist on the same target, once killed rinse repeat on next. so in co ordinated stacks she could be lethal. but thats just speculating. My solution for tanks has always been a role passive that only allows the tank to suffer from 1 status effect and any one time. and repeated consecutive use of an status affecting ability has diminishing returns in its effectiveness. so like your rein is hacked... while hacked is immune from everything else, zen orb, ana nade etc. if hack wears off and sombra instantly tries to reapply she can but it would be far less effective and not last as long to apply again would still be hacked but it would do nothing to the target besides granting them an immunity window to other effects. it prevents piling on the effects on a tank.
as well as reducing the effectiveness of spaming on a tank, which should improve things. for the tank but not impact the playstyle of other roles with those abilities.
I'm beyond excited for the new season. SO many amazingly created skins, its hard to pick which one I want to put my money into. Wonderfully made video.
Its kinda sad to see 17 new skins available in the shop and battlepass underneath it. Meaning that like 7-8 of them are locked behind the battlepass and the remaining 10 could be sold separately for £10-£20 EACH. Thats not exciting in the slightest.
NOOOO DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Buy a fkin meal with that money bro, not on virtual cosmetics
@@scotttimbrell8632the game is free lmao you expect them to hand you every cosmetic on a platter for you? cut this selfish bullshit out dude lmao
@@streetdank yeah definitely appropriate to charge 20 € for a skin while claiming its reduced from 24 €🤡
Compared to other games, mainly Valorant. I feel as if Overwatch is very fair with their pricing. I am happy to give them some of my money. I do get enough munchies and meals in my tummy as is; thank you for your concern >~
From what it sounds like, the Translocator is still a projectile, but will teleport you immediately upon landing; for me, unless you can still transmit mid-air, that sounds terrible as it would butcher the EMP bombing tech with translocator. Plus, I can only imagine that Sombra's survivalbilty significantly dropping despite her new DPS ability (which I'm not a fan of myself)
They showed her TP-ing in the air and using emp in the trailer for the new season
would rather sombra be trash ngl
thats the point, infinite tp was way too op.
Nobody cares

Hey mosquito tip, if you can get just standard like McCormick's meat tenderizer (or another brand) from the store and mix it with water to make a paste, it will help to break down the toxins in both bug bites and jellyfish stings. My family has used it for decades.
Just started playing back in September and Im excited!
Does the fact that Sombra is permanently invis now mean she can't push the payload?
Just use your ability or shoot periodically to keep yourself uncloaked. But that is true, this definitely is a nerf to the best back-cap strategy lol
They're probably gonna make it so that she's semi-visible when contesting.
I'm actually more excited for season seven than season six. While season six was the biggest season, to be honest the season itself was alright. The events were mid especially the anniversary event that doesn't feel like anniversary event at all. Cosmetic wise, it was okay.
But season seven, seasonal content wise, looks amazing and much better than season six. I would even say season five seasonal content did better than season six. But looking forward to season seven!!!
What content? 1 event and 1 new map? A Sombra "rework" that doesn't change a lot, 17 skins that the majority costs money to get which you could get FOR FREE in overwatch 1
@@aurora6685 man, we went through that phase of "OW 1 was free", we know that, and unfortunately that era will never come back. Let's move on
@@ehojopa so what? i paid 60 € back then to have this game and everything i paid for is now this cashgrab "sequal" where you cant earn skins that you want, you unlock champions for money or playing 20 hours to unlock them and all other events are also gone
Such a packed season, actually excited again
From what I’ve seen she seems more brawly. The translocater seems to be fast and teleports shortly after a toss so the cool down will determine if she’s dive or brawl. If it’s a fast cool down like under 8 seconds with a fast ball throw she can flank, chase and still get out like tracer or genji dashing. If it’s a longer cooldown then she will have to stay with the team since there’s not a reliable get out, think reapers tp (good to get in back lines or use when you’re away from a fight). If Jack becomes even more of the annoyance for tanks just have the hack not last as long for them as part of the tank passive
You think Illari is fine. Thats wack she has a pretty bloated kit. But I like hero's with clear powers and weaknesses Illari is just all power.
Nah she's pretty weak at close range it's just poking her down
@@patricklodge1576She has an ability that knocks you back and can possibly give her access to the high ground.
"thats a lot of content" paid skins and 1 mode(which looks fun dont get me wrong)
Can't forget about the recycled content as well
Yeah I agree with Flats on that one. This will promote the hack the tank on cooldown way more. Going to be great..
Flats always knows when i’m about to sit down and eat so he posts videos right before❤️❤️
I love the part where they let you upgrade your abilities...
But it was too hard for them to do that for the PvE...
Way to go Blizzard
I like how they reworked sombra for removing her assassin play style and made her more of a mid class where she can get one shot a lot and she doesn't have enough damage to help sustain in a team fight constant
so you like how they completely destroyed the character?
@@davidperezvazquez7856 as someone who enjoys having fun, yes I’m glad the fun police is dead
@@davidperezvazquez7856yes
@davidperezvazquez7856 eh I would give it a bit, I have a feeling people are sleeping on her pick potential
If they had merged hack and virus into one it would've made so much sense. Instead of clicking on someone, you'd have to throw an actual skillshot on a cooldown to be able to have only one target hacked at the time. Don't know why they just didn't
Translocator should’ve had a time out feature like Ball’s grapple where it auto tp’ed her once it was put down so she was forced to engage or risk just wasting time setting up again
You should’ve put it in, then you could have all the ball grappling you desire
Sombra rework isnt too bad actually but I think what Flats said about the traslocator is true, Im not a sombra player but I definaly agree. I think they shouldve made her traslocater the same as before but maybe have a cool down of 10 seconds until that translocator OR a certain distance she can travel before it breaks, which makes sombra player think more before engaging or making their escape routes a lot shorter so that enemy teams can maybe punish her for that. A lot like how tracer need to blink but its really not too far.
No it's actually is. It ruins the character at an high lvl in order to maker her better at low 1s. If you think that's good by all means but I don't
Her translocator is what enabled her to be the character everyone hates playing against.
putting a time limit just means she's going to continue being annoying, but just... sooner.
Her whole kit revolved around her going in and getting away with no way to punish. At least now she has to be aggressive and actually pick engagements she can win after the ability lockout.
It's a great change and with damage tuning (I'm sure it'll be too good now with the hack / virus combo) she'll be in a great spot for everyone
@@ELI-521it only makes her bad for top players that played her in the most passive way. Players like questr0n have been saying translocator is what makes her unfun to play against for a loooong time.
I think we're about to find out he was right
@@nononolistenlistenI was taking abt the rework as an whole and not just one aspect of her kit. Even with the changes to tp the same thing still applies lmao. Ruining the playmaking potential and feel at the high lvl in order to accommodate everyone else. Also what top sombra player yk plays passively? That’s statement alone showed me you dk what the hell you’re rambling abt
@@nononolistenlisten yeah i agree i mean we just have to play to actually know how it is! Def a good rework tho cant wait for the hog one
Blizzard has had TEN MONTHS to deliver us a Roadhog rework, and they're _still_ pushing it to release midseason? My faith in this company is as strong as Sombra's hack is weak.
I can only imagine that Sombras new translocator changes will be the equivalent of Loba from Apex's teleporter (if people dont understand what it means by "throw a beacon and teleport to it").
lmao ive watched flats so mutch resantly his lamp is burnt in to my screen 😂
People are STILL going to complain about Sombra, rework or not.
Sombra main here since her release, counting the 4th major change to her overall kit; and confirming that noone changed, emno matter how much Sombra did
Oh well.
I'll master her new kit and bully supports as always ❤
Same here for the bullying supports thing! I don't waste my time on tanks, they get deleted either way.
(Unless they are playing Hog, then I will 100% focus until they uninstal the game and go to a therapist after.)
@@Eadwulf_Skaldwow, Sombra mains truly are evil
@corncake2 it's okay they don't see that the new abilities don't let them do that anymore, supports are safe
gotta face the reality of the situation. if there's a problem there's a problem.
@@atothetaco didn’t bother me either way. I usually play Ana or Kiriko anyway. They either get slept, or two tapped to the face
Personally as an extreme heavy Sombra Main, this change has me a little bit excited but mostly curious. The biggest thing that worries me though is the huge change to her translocator I don't know how much this will affect my traditional Sombra gameplay as I like to play hard as Sombra and really push so that aspect has definitely seen an improvement to me but I'm scared that she's going to feel way too different. Ultimately, I'm both excited and nervous for this update of Sombra.
Also, the Diablo crossover looks like it's actually going to go pretty freaking hard!
if that Sombra Rework turns out to be as bad as the Kaiten Removal in FFXIV, we have a problem
I'm a Sombra Main. That rework completely changes the way she plays and feels. I feel like the developers didn't know what to do with her since they took out crowd control. I feel like this is going to be one of the worst reworks on OverWatch.
Man i really wish i could still get excited about this game.
It would be interesting if they could keep the old translocator, but then put a 7-9 seconds timer when it lands on a surface, after the timer expires you would be teleported immediatly, but you would be able to cancel/break it to cancel the tp, for whatever reason.
First time I'm actually hyped for a season (played all so far). Despite the death of PVE we finally see some fruits of the labor of the past years and what the tech they built can do.
what fruits? 1 gamemode and 1 map?
"fruits of the labor of the past years and what the tech they built can do." @@aurora6685
@@aurora6685oh but you don't see what we see. Blizzard is clearly listening to players by changing characters deemed problematic! Take this for example, they're changing sombra to be *even more annoying and painful to deal with* which shows that they still suck as a company!
Can’t wait to see what Fitzyhere says about this change….I don’t think he’ll be happy.
As a Sombra main since Season 3 Overwatch 1 (over 1,000+ hours),
I am hella nervous for this change. Also, still no numbers which is just so dumb. I know it’s coming, but why tease it, just give us everything at once.
Having a translocator that needs to be thrown means she has less time to actually kill an enemy, is less likely to use a stealthy form of STEALTH…. And this virus ability is just another grenade ability, it’s so dumb. But would like to see numbers to just see how this will play.
The translocator need was so unnecessary and will feel so awful to play. I’ve heard there’s a manual button still, but if the speed and height of translocator isn’t adjusted, this will become a throw pick in my opinion. She’s too fragile to play aggressively. I also assume they want buff her Machine Pistol by much either, so there won’t be much of a change.
If Hack does not block out abilities for a longer period of time, there is no point engaging into an enemy anymore. She’s too squishy.
Pretty disappointing form my point of view, but will of course wait to get a final opinion.
Bro for real got the loba teleport now, dear god
If you can't immediately and I mean instantly determine which character is in the game because of a skin then you're putting style above substance and gameplay.
Does the Sombra rework really expand the skill ceiling? No. You may have a new skill shot ability along with he fact you now have an ender pearl for the translocator and have to be more careful. However, high level sombras now have extremely high creativity and skill ceilings: fake tp, tp to chase a kill in the air, stopping ults with TL, quick disengage. With this rework, I feel that this narrow minds her gameplay, making it more predictable, less expressive, and overall less creative.
all of the ones you noted except for fake tp should still be doable, another exception is using tp to disengage, which is still a possibility and useful but nowhere near as op and easy as before
@@freedom3208 Regarding stopping ults and chasing kills in the air, you can't manually engage the TL from what I understand. This removes a large part of what Sombra can do. Additionally, quick instant disengage isn't there since you have to wait for the TL to hit the ground/wall. Also you'd have to yeet it a fair distance to be safe.
You can easily tell that. Their goal was to "increase the active feel" ie make the character simpler and easier to use to all lvls not just at the high 1s. But they clearly didn't think too hard since these changes ruin her gameplay at an high one
@@brandonliunoras8825 the trailer shows her manually activating translocator tho
@@freedom3208 I will say, I was thinking of a way where you could still quick disengage while getting a pick off. While in stealth, hack your target. Wait a bit, throw your TL cross map, send the virus, burst your target, as soon as it lands, you're out. Would be a really mosquito like gameplay feel.
As a Sombra player the translocator changes are really sad, I would have liked to see hack changes, not what they actually did. And now I have to hit a skill shot to feel decent about playing the game, which is less fun. Things needed to change because hack is not fun, but these changes don’t feel good for either side.
Yeah, as a sombra main, it sounds less fun for us sombra players, and even less fun for the enemy tank.
Cry some more, this Mexican just got caught by fucking border patrol!
Wait. You have to hit a skill shot? In the FPS game? How unfair.
I never played her. But all this feels like a nerf.
i just sat down to eat lunch, thank you
That rein skin looks like Exodia!
tbh i think the tank passive should include resistances (not immunities) to certain disabling abilities / debuffs. Like, less affected by hindered/discord, hack either takes longer to apply or lasts less long, etc. That might be the easiest way out of this mess because numbers creep seems like a tough problem to overcome, unless they just want to accentuate it by making tanks tankier.
"Throwing the translator"
*Sombra just starts throwing phones at people that say different words in different languages.*
something some people didnt notice is that currently in ow2, hack's description is: "Hold to hack. Hacked enemies cannot use abilities briefly and can be seen through walls." and the healthpack stuff
however on the blog post it says the same thing, minus the word briefly, either thats a typo or its a change to sombra that wasnt mentioned.
So until the next blog, be wary.
2 things, I wish in a future credits event I hope they decide to allow people to get previous battle pass items. And second now instead of sombra being a zen, shell be a invisible kiriko
hearing flats enthusiastically say "sick ball skin" gave me quite the chuckle @ 3:14
Mosquito’s drinking gamer blood proves that even bugs enjoy fast food 😂
I thought Flats said "Now onto the hot new man Samoa." I was like eyyyyeooo
I tokk a couple month break from over watch but now that it's halloween time.... shiiiiiiiiii I might have to get back in to it skins looks nuts
Ive been off overwatch for like 4 months at this point, this....this might bring me back for the month XD
I’ve been thinking about it for awhile, and I have a rework idea for zen. He is alr great like sombra, but I feel like he is all about orbs, and should be. He should have multiple discord and heal orbs, but the more he places, the less of an effect it gives scaling. Like the orbs around zen. For example(I have no idea the numbers or statistics) if u have 2 discord orbs on the opponents then each orb has an 15% increased damage in take instead of like 25% increases from just one orb. Still have the thing where the orb goes away if they are behind something, but being able to add multiple orbs to both ur team and opponents is a more engaging game style. Lastly when I say multiple orbs I do not mean on one teammate, I mean say u can play 5 orbs any combination, 3 heal orbs on 3 different tm8s and 2 discord orbs on 2 different enemies don’t stack. If u only have 1 orb on the whole field, mega effect like 55 healing per second on an ally or 35% damage increase intake on an enemy (again, no idea about the numbers). Curious what others think of it I’ve gotten positive reviews so far
What if the Rodhog changes is that he swings the chain hock in a big area and knok (push)enemies away.🙃🤔
When they were showing off the soldier skin... Anyone else notice the slightly remade Hanamura map? Possible map comeback/remake?
Flats out here playing Call of Duty Mosquito Warfare
I think the "Horror" in Pumpkin Spice Bastion is the mere fact it exists.
Flats is glazing this new season
His takes on anything other than rein are always very average as he only knows things about his rein lol
This was one of the most satisfying flats videos
IM HERE love ur vids flats
Love the RuneScape music
what if u ml7 nade the translocator, go in, and be pulled out whenever the thing lands
im actually so excited for the witch kiriko skin that i've been waiting for over a year!! Im def gonna use those bugged credits to snag me that skin lol
Even though your brain was fried this was one of your best "flats reads stuff" videos 😊
I hate how good of a person flats is.
His enjoyment, excitement and general good vibes makes me want to like the game again.
Blizz and OW are so lucky they have his community keeping the game on life support
Well by the looks of it, sombra’s translocator will still allow her to tp while it’s mid flight so she could still keep her flank playstyle as the more dominant one.
I believe hacking no longer adds the benefit of extra damage, I think that was transferred to the new Virus ability.
