He may not be dishing out incredible damage but what he does do is make 6 heads turn away from his allies and to him. A small but powerful opening, especially against a Widowmaker who WILL exploit it every chance they get. Good synergy.
Gorilla Gorilla I mostly agree, but I feel like he could have hacked players more often, like characters whose teams rely on their abilities more, instead of just sometimes shooting a little and translocating back. Then again, I'm not exactly top 500, so I'm probably wrong.
yes it kinda does, also there is no pro player on any team playing her and believe it or not there has to be a best and he is be definition all things considered the best, not a fanboy here or anything but its a fact
HeartBreakKid4321 no its not I'm pretty sure there's more player out there that are lower level them him and that are still better ....I'm a sombra main and I'm pretty sure I could do better
Cody is a good sombre and even tho its a cliché strategy it works and can do wonders for the team also his play style is centred around getting and utilizing his ultimate
No she isnt a shit character. Codey does make a joke about them winning without him lol. Other heroes though can do aspects of what she does better-- such as Winston. Her Ult though is her strongest trait. I have played with Sombra a lot and sometimes you get games when you feel like you dont do anything. But that is usually just because you and your team aint in sync when you ult or hack which can shift battles. Along with the attack he does causes the enemies even if it one or 5 get distracted from the other fight. But if you for example teamed up with EMP+Earthshatter and Dva bomb or Emp+Tactical Visor/Death blossom you can destroy entire teams. She most effective though in combos and DPS teams who can capitalize on hacks and EMP too
"Noob Sombra Strat"? Dude, it's the safest way for her to handle combat since it means she'll always have an escape and if she gets damage, that just means ult charge for her when she takes the health pack and heals. Sombra's combat ability is okay, but really her main strength IS that EMP. Sooner that's up, the sooner you can shut down the enemy with it.
***** Of course I hack health packs, it helps the team tremendously. What I don't do though is camp the health packs and running into huge fights and do nothing, just to teleport back to safety. Instead get behind the enemy team, hack them and pick them off one by one, so that my team can have an easier time pushing. Taking down reins and bastions making it a cake walk for my team.
Thats how you play sombra. The 200 health hero that does little damage and has to flank to do anything. You need to healthpack hop, and if you think someone else is a better sombra than him, you are wrong.
Seeing the best Sombra player in action only helps solidify my opinion that she has no purpose in higher level play as everything she does can be done more consistently and more effectively with other members of the cast.
Why are there little kids saying he isn't the best Sombra? Isn't he the highest ranking Sombra main, which, you know, makes him the best Sombra by fucking definition? There's even people in gold saying they're a better Sombra than him. Not sure what they're smoking but I'd like some of that if it boosts my ego that much.
kephrii did some sacrificial rituals and shit and has now become a god. These are bullshit titles. Even if they are highest ranked 'x hero' player, cant you just say their name, or their rank? Keep it professional dude, this is just sad.
I main Sombra as well and watching him play is soooooo good :D I wanna be that good. A lot of those jumps I didn't even know Sombra could make, like onto that roof, or that gap between Zone B and Zone A
All these "best Sombra player ever" videos are just high ranked players farming ult charge while not actually getting a single pick, EMPing 5 people and then hoping your team carries you after ulting...
Getting picks as sombra at high ranks isn't easy. People are actually aware of what's going on and will actually turn around instantly if their healer is getting attacked. Also, you can't easily kill many things as Sombra. She can't easily kill Ana or Zen, let alone most offensive or defensive heroes. But her ult is so situationally strong that it makes up for her dps. She's not an assassin just because she's stealth; her only way to deal damage is her left click. She's a disruptor.
Kotau's right. As someone who's probably put more time in Sombra than any other DPS in the game myself, she doesn't have the best kill potential on anyone that isn't post-emp zen. That isn't to say it's impossible to kill other people, absolutely not, but she's really more of a pest that the enemy deals with that can sometimes get a good pick and takes away their abilities for 6 seconds.
Yea, shes best in team fights. Using her ult which builds up fast and she can teleport around and distract the other team. Her hacking allows the team to stop a roadhog or an ana using nades etc. So shes really a team character, more of a support.
Not in this video she doesn't. Codey avoided hacking the heal packs which are most likely to be used by the opposition, perhaps for this reason. I don't know that I like this strategy because it allows enemy healers to function as backup DPS characters due to how their attention is not focused solely on healing. I would have hacked at least the health pack in the gazebo and taken away the option of using it, but the other players writing comments here seem to form a consensus that this is the wrong approach.
It is funny to see in comment that Codey sucks, those people have all those kind of Sombra knowledge and fully understand how Sombra can work in a team comp, but when they really go with Sombra in OW, they probably play like sh*t. But at least something goes right, the audio sucks XD
I ... don't really understand. Hacking "own" health packs so team mates can heal (and you get ult) is fine. But why not deny some health packs behind enemy lines?
Also, that health pack is usually a safe spot for the attacking team (not as much against an aggressive widow), so hacking it doesn't really mean anything except technically allowing the enemy healers to charge their ults faster. Hacking health packs that might be grabbed in the heat of a fight, like the one under the bridge, is way more worthwhile than hacking one inside their base. The hacks don't really last that long either, so you really have to make sure you only hack essential health packs so that you spend more time hacking enemies or actually shooting at them.
"Best Sombra and Widowmaker god" *Both dies the first 10 seconds of defence and loses the point immediately* Listen I'm not saying that they're bad, I'm just saying that they should listen to footsteps and watch out for potential enemy widows the first few seconds of the game.
QuestionableMind lol ... they are against the best players , so yeah shits happens , how many times u see kephrii spawn kill their team at the beginning , they just had a bad game on this video
true, blizzard wants all the characters to be different, even though they fill similar roles. it changes gameplay for the player and the ults are different, i guess. be nice to see even a poorer new replacement for rein. might not shift comp meta paradigm, but be nice if only for the change, which would only be a different combination or tweak of the same abilities. as many gamers and comic book fans know, abilities are limited. nice tag by the way.
My main issues is also ability cohesion with sombra...you can hack a launcher tire but not a Visor? you can stop some ults but not the most impact, you can hack but this only matters vs some heroes. They want us to hack, blizzard has made that clear..gives a reason to hack beyond reinhardt and turrents, a 25% increase of damage on hacked targets would do this or expanding what she can hack You don't even need to put any new stuff on emp but her single hacks have to be more impact if we are not getting any weapon buff at all
He may not be dishing out incredible damage but what he does do is make 6 heads turn away from his allies and to him. A small but powerful opening, especially against a Widowmaker who WILL exploit it every chance they get. Good synergy.
Gorilla Gorilla I mostly agree, but I feel like he could have hacked players more often, like characters whose teams rely on their abilities more, instead of just sometimes shooting a little and translocating back.
Then again, I'm not exactly top 500, so I'm probably wrong.
This is the most fucked up audio ever
Tru
There are many misleading titles.. however for those of you who are saying he isn't the best are blind to see the number 11 next to his GM rank.
max johnson Did I mention best player? I mentioned for those whose saying he isn't the best Sombra. I swear you people read it too narrowly
max johnson Like SoOn is the #2 in Overwatch and he's the best Tracer
Well technically it's top 500 rank.
Did you even read the comment? xD
Not best sombra stop it with these misleading tittles. You sound like CNN and NBC
vcvitiko yeah IKR
You kids need to get over it already. If you find him shit then why are you watching?
The title is misleading that's why we watched it
so suggest me a better sombra pro player. He is on top 10 with constent sombra gameplay
vcvitiko he is in fact the best sombra.
he is the highest ranked sombra main which makes him be definition the best sombra player
HeartBreakKid4321 no it doesn't stupid
yes it kinda does, also there is no pro player on any team playing her and believe it or not there has to be a best and he is be definition all things considered the best, not a fanboy here or anything but its a fact
HeartBreakKid4321 no its not I'm pretty sure there's more player out there that are lower level them him and that are still better ....I'm a sombra main and I'm pretty sure I could do better
dude i just seen your videos, he it top 500 you are gold what are you even talking about you are a better sombra dont fuel yourself
HeartBreakKid4321 haha Hah u haven't seen me play her so....u can't say shit
sound cuts out at 7:28 and returns like 30 seconds later not sure if problem with stream or phone?
Riley Heaton that happend for me 2
Riley Heaton i fucking restarted my phone....
i think this form a twitch stream the music might have been copyrighted so it got muted on the replay
they cut audio to avoid copyrights on youtube (because of certain songs playing in the stream)
TY I THOUGHT MY HEADPHONES WERE FUCKED
codey seems to be a big nujabes fan. i love nujabes also
Cody is a good sombre and even tho its a cliché strategy it works and can do wonders for the team also his play style is centred around getting and utilizing his ultimate
damn that sombra has amazing accuracy
why is he so calm... like he's not in the middle of battle 😂😂😂
I have watched other games by Codey where he plays Sombra, and because of that I have become a good SOmbra player. Thanks Codey!
I don't care whether they're the best sombra or not, it just feels like Codey isn't really doing anything for the majority of the match
ChikkyNuggs that's because sombra really can't do much anything. She is a pretty shit character after all.
No she isnt a shit character. Codey does make a joke about them winning without him lol. Other heroes though can do aspects of what she does better-- such as Winston. Her Ult though is her strongest trait. I have played with Sombra a lot and sometimes you get games when you feel like you dont do anything. But that is usually just because you and your team aint in sync when you ult or hack which can shift battles.

But if you for example teamed up with EMP+Earthshatter and Dva bomb or Emp+Tactical Visor/Death blossom you can destroy entire teams. She most effective though in combos and DPS teams who can capitalize on hacks and EMP too
so many Nujabes tracks on his stream ! love that
39 critical hits holy crap haha I love kephri
If Codey killed Zen at the end ten he would have won.
Ha! Best? He's health pack hoping, the "I don't know how to utilize her abilities in battle strategy" or "noob Sombra Strategy" xD
I don't think they're best either, but I wouldn't call that a "noob strategy".
"Noob Sombra Strat"? Dude, it's the safest way for her to handle combat since it means she'll always have an escape and if she gets damage, that just means ult charge for her when she takes the health pack and heals. Sombra's combat ability is okay, but really her main strength IS that EMP. Sooner that's up, the sooner you can shut down the enemy with it.
Jacob Kreifels how is he in top 500 as a sombra main then?
***** Of course I hack health packs, it helps the team tremendously. What I don't do though is camp the health packs and running into huge fights and do nothing, just to teleport back to safety. Instead get behind the enemy team, hack them and pick them off one by one, so that my team can have an easier time pushing. Taking down reins and bastions making it a cake walk for my team.
Thats how you play sombra. The 200 health hero that does little damage and has to flank to do anything. You need to healthpack hop, and if you think someone else is a better sombra than him, you are wrong.
Did I just watch a tie where both Codey and Kephrii should've switched for an easy win? What a waste of time -.-
kephrii plus codey? gg ez.
Seeing the best Sombra player in action only helps solidify my opinion that she has no purpose in higher level play as everything she does can be done more consistently and more effectively with other members of the cast.
Don't use this guy as reference, he isn't "the best sombra" and he camps health packs. Sombra can be really good if used be an intelligent player.
Jacob Kreifels but... he IS the ranked number 1 sombra in the world.
So who is the over Cody guy? I heard that he was pretty toxic
see the ana there-
oh
goodbye codey
if I get one more "Meower Rangers" ad I swear to fucking god I will end it all.
Even though I'm hype af for the new power rangers.
aye diggin the nujabes vibe
Julio Nicaragua I know right? 🎶
Why are there little kids saying he isn't the best Sombra? Isn't he the highest ranking Sombra main, which, you know, makes him the best Sombra by fucking definition? There's even people in gold saying they're a better Sombra than him. Not sure what they're smoking but I'd like some of that if it boosts my ego that much.
Alex Kahnum congrats you're not stupid like those plebs lol
the title says "wih" pretty sure, you ment "With*
thanks i changed it to with
kephrii did some sacrificial rituals and shit and has now become a god. These are bullshit titles.
Even if they are highest ranked 'x hero' player, cant you just say their name, or their rank? Keep it professional dude, this is just sad.
I main Sombra as well and watching him play is soooooo good :D I wanna be that good. A lot of those jumps I didn't even know Sombra could make, like onto that roof, or that gap between Zone B and Zone A
TIL: Sombra can make some pretty neat jumps on Hanamura whilst cloaked.
4:58 dabbing before dying XD
As much as I love both of these guys I think kephrii carried
All these "best Sombra player ever" videos are just high ranked players farming ult charge while not actually getting a single pick, EMPing 5 people and then hoping your team carries you after ulting...

Cocoa Plebble Just because he might not be able to do better doesn't mean he doesn't have a point.
Yea, shes best in team fights. Using her ult which builds up fast and she can teleport around and distract the other team. Her hacking allows the team to stop a roadhog or an ana using nades etc. So shes really a team character, more of a support.
Cortexion You just described sombra's job , so yes he's the best sombra player
From 7:30 to 7:55 the sound goes out. No your headphones aren't mangled yet
"Have you applied for partnership yet?" I do not know what this means, but we probably were not supposed to hear that part. It seems private.
Scott Gastineau They were talking about twitch partnership, it's fine if other people know about it.
When I see this I really wanna play Sombra more, 'cause that seems pretty easy to do. oO
what sensitivity for sombra
"'Best sombra player''- My ass!
what the hack is the big red ball at 15:20 (not zaryas the thing right next to her shot)
I just feel like he's doing so little...
I played Widow on console and I got 25 kills and 67% scoped accuracy. I dont know. Either the enemy team was bad or I just got lucky shots?
What dpi are you use?
Do you use*
My English is not good
ik
White Wolf sent me
what sombra does is charge the enemy healer ults lol.
Not in this video she doesn't. Codey avoided hacking the heal packs which are most likely to be used by the opposition, perhaps for this reason. I don't know that I like this strategy because it allows enemy healers to function as backup DPS characters due to how their attention is not focused solely on healing. I would have hacked at least the health pack in the gazebo and taken away the option of using it, but the other players writing comments here seem to form a consensus that this is the wrong approach.
what music is this
20 min for a draw omfg
Seeing pros play her just makes it more obvious how bad she is.
how old is codey
It is funny to see in comment that Codey sucks, those people have all those kind of Sombra knowledge and fully understand how Sombra can work in a team comp, but when they really go with Sombra in OW, they probably play like sh*t. But at least something goes right, the audio sucks XD
Why wasn't Codey hacking the health pack at the little pavilion?
UMos High activity area for low health, the method he is using is the quickest way to charge any ultimate in the game right now
I ... don't really understand. Hacking "own" health packs so team mates
can heal (and you get ult) is fine. But why not deny some health packs
behind enemy lines?
UMos With two healers in a grandmaster game people don't typically need health packs too often I guess, he's more DPS focused as Sombra
O.k. fair point!
Also, that health pack is usually a safe spot for the attacking team (not as much against an aggressive widow), so hacking it doesn't really mean anything except technically allowing the enemy healers to charge their ults faster. Hacking health packs that might be grabbed in the heat of a fight, like the one under the bridge, is way more worthwhile than hacking one inside their base. The hacks don't really last that long either, so you really have to make sure you only hack essential health packs so that you spend more time hacking enemies or actually shooting at them.
That is such an old clip omg
Yea. From 2017. Good old days
and how can ana run fast or teleport at 4:42
She just died to a soldier: 76. she didn't teleport :/
Second
"Best Sombra and Widowmaker god" *Both dies the first 10 seconds of defence and loses the point immediately* Listen I'm not saying that they're bad, I'm just saying that they should listen to footsteps and watch out for potential enemy widows the first few seconds of the game.
QuestionableMind lol ... they are against the best players , so yeah shits happens , how many times u see kephrii spawn kill their team at the beginning , they just had a bad game on this video
First minute gets killed and says it was all luck, bro u were behind enemy lines what do you spect lol there's two routes to take not just one
yea he's good with sombra but besides the hp pack hacking everything he did could have been done better by tracer, thats the issue with sombra
true, blizzard wants all the characters to be different, even though they fill similar roles. it changes gameplay for the player and the ults are different, i guess. be nice to see even a poorer new replacement for rein. might not shift comp meta paradigm, but be nice if only for the change, which would only be a different combination or tweak of the same abilities. as many gamers and comic book fans know, abilities are limited. nice tag by the way.

i like genji mccree and hanzo l0l

ZeroixGaming sooooo, genzocree i guess
ZeroixGaming I'm sorry I'm making every overwatch character gay
l0l
like in 44:00 cdey say fk off
I play on console and I still play sombra better
this audio is AIDS
are you really noob player ?!?
Aim hax ???
That person who screws up everything true, true. His tracking is ridiculously impressive then
sombra = bad game
Martin Tisoni More like Bad Hombre.
Martin Tisoni not when i play her
