Can you make a video for all the dimwits who don't know what the Sombra is supposed to be doing on their team and expect you to do things you're not supposed to do? 😉
When you said flanker, annoying forcing cooldowns, I thought the "guide" would be about that. How to PLAY her. But it's just a description of abilities and the interaction with other heroes. That is not "how to play sombra", nor a guide, and certainly not complete. That's the user manual. "Thank you for purchasing our Sombra 3000(TM). Here are the different buttons you can press. It is not recommended to use Sombra 3000(TM) with Dva bomb(TM). If hacks last longer than a day, please consult a doctor."
I was mostly watching this video just to support the channel but I actually learned lots of new things about sombra’s interaction 😅 👏Great job on the video Rilo 👏
Rilo it’s been a while since I dropped by…. I was here since 1k subs a month or so ago. I was the former sombra turned Junkrat main and I almost hit masters with my Junkrat. Probably returning for your uploads, great video!
Learning Sombra reminds me of when I was learning Dva with how much utility she gets with her abilities and how fun they are. having to use ur noodle to out play people feel so rewarding. Sombra has more utility with her abilitie in some matchups, wheres most of dvas utility is what she can eat with her DMs (and has some less forgiving matchups). i think a good Dva and Sombra duo that works together can pretty much shut down most ults in the game. plus EMP DVA bomb is an underrated combo. I find that the harder ults to eat with DVA is hanzos Dragon (cuz your never close enough to a good Hanzo unless u eat it through a wall) mei"s snow ball (cuz she can just toss it on the floor under her, thus removing the travel time and time to eat. You would have to stand over her wit DM while she ulting) and grav (cuz its more of a "if I was zar when would I use my ult" kind of read the voice line sound Q is so tight. unless shes yeeting it from 10-20 meters away and most good zar just wait for DM to go on cool down then gravs. you have to play all sorts of mind games with zar to consistently eat grav. like one example ,looking at the floor when DMing then flicking up last sec to eat the grav). which leads me to say that smobra kinda makes up for a lot of DVAs weak spots with DM minus Grav. so much utility those 2 have
Rilo, it was a great overall, but you missed the hacked virus damage vs healing outputs like bap's regen, mercy's valk, lucio's amp and solider 76's bio field. Remember it will do faster damage and combined with your primary damage and hacked targets you can do surprising damage to self healing heroes. It just made it feel like putting the virus on a character that can self heal is pointless. I know you didn't say that precisely, but it did feel discouraging. As a Sombra main myself, I just thought your audience needed a little clarification about going against characters that can self heal.
I lurk in the shadows and flank the supports but it's quite hard when the whole team groups up or is like 2 healers and a dps team stacking so I can't flank. I try to play her but my other dps aren't good to hold their own or stay with the tank. I'm a full dive flanker with Sombra so having 30 deaths in 1 game doesn't bother me
I might be a little stupid, but I've seen people throw the translocator an a health pack and then they can teleport to it whenever they feel like it in battle... instead of it teleporting you right away... how do you place the translocator and not teleport right away?
I think the only thing you missed was if you do hack plus virus. The virus duration goes faster. Amazing Guide. This for sure will help me improve my sombra more. I do have a quick question for EMP should I use it more Offensively or defensively. For instance maybe I wanna use emp defensively to just cancel out ults or Should I use it Offensively where I just use it combo with someone ult on my team for instance maybe a Zarya ult plus hanzo ult.
i talked about the virus + hack kinda brief, but not for hero’s…i forgot 🫠. So last patch you would really only use it defensive because the lock out was still too short. Now, it’s kinda back in both ways. Emp cancelling ults is always great, but people forgot about her offensive. now with the 3 second lock out you can actually plan a nice engage and stop them from doing combos or valuable abilities. Such as the Grav Drag, as soon as you hear the grav, if you hit hanzo with emp he won’t have enough time. Same with other enemy combo’s. or of course…suzu…You can flip the fight really fast. SOO…😅 If you have some good communication, the offensive can be great to plan ahead. The defense is also good because cancelling a ult and locking out the team…,plus the 25% damage i guess, is always good. Hope this helps!
I have a question and it might be idiotic but, is there any way to trigger stealth on purpose? It seems like 3 secs is alot of time (I play another fps where cooldowns n time are of the essance) but people seem to trigger it much quicker than the 3 seconds
So yes there is. The only way to get into stealth quicker is using your TP. Using tp cuts the cooldown by about 2 seconds. It almost immediately puts you in stealth. I normally just throw my tp into the ground or at a wall to go invis.
using any active ability button (besides Hack in some occasions…and TP) it will take you out of Stealth. So Melee, Ult, shooting, and Virus will uncloak you. An exception to Hack is if you use hack on an enemy it will also take you out.
rilo: you can cancel X ability with hack demo: shows sombra starting to hack before other hero presses ability in question because hack has a 10x longer cast time me: oh cool gotcha, so what you actually meant to say is that you _can't_ cancel that ability with hack
Comment if there is anything I missed! Or if you have any questions, let me know.
Can you make a video for all the dimwits who don't know what the Sombra is supposed to be doing on their team and expect you to do things you're not supposed to do? 😉
i actually could 💀 Most of the OW community needs it

I actually canceled a soldier's ult before. It's kind of like canceling hanzos but an even tighter window. If I had the replay I'd prove it.
Now I can die as Sombra in style when I try to do the tips. xD
Yes! 😂
Wow been looking for an updated Sombra guide for the past couple of weeks... and boom here is a great one. Thanks!
You’re welcome 😉 I’ve been wanting to make one for a while but they kept updating her.
hands down not only the best sombra guide but any player guide ive ever seen. Thank you for all the work you put into this.
The amount of effort you went to demonstrate all examples by both perspectives is exceptional! Great video and great content! Good work 😊
thank you so much, glad you like it 🙏
Best sombra guide i've ever watched, thank u!
Best guide i've seen so far, appreciate the dedication
I was mostly watching this video just to support the channel but I actually learned lots of new things about sombra’s interaction 😅
👏Great job on the video Rilo 👏
Thank you so much! She has so many weird interactions it’s pretty crazy😂
the mkw online loading music hit me in my chest with a wave of nostalgia, very good tips
Yes! mario kart music is so good!! And no problem i’m glad i could help
Let's go!! I can finally get back on the road to get good w/ Sombra! 🔥 Awesome work here!!
Thank you 💚 Glad I could help.
you can dodge dva ult with the translocator???? insane
yes, you have .4 seconds of invulnerability when TP goes off. Veryyy useful 😂
The hero ability interaction section was very helpful! I did not know I could reverse the damage from Sigma’s rock! Great video
Great video. Had no idea you could block things with tele like the rock.
yes! she can block/ destroy projectiles. pretty fun to do
OMGGGG U TOOK MY SUGGESTION ‼️ TYSMMM
Took me so long to make this, but im happy its finally out!
@@The_Rilo you did so amazing :3 thank you so much again rilo ^o^
i loveeee the effort and quality of this tutorial keep it up man
Thank you 🙏 took me a while lol
Did not know about the translocator camera lock option. ty
np!
Thank you bro, I’m just getting into the game and playing w some friends and I hate dragging games down
no problem, glad i could help!
I’ve never knew you can do the immortal thing with the trash locator and I have 500 hrs on her… TYSM for the guide
yes it’s sooo useful, and np problem!
Rilo it’s been a while since I dropped by…. I was here since 1k subs a month or so ago. I was the former sombra turned Junkrat main and I almost hit masters with my Junkrat. Probably returning for your uploads, great video!
welcome back! thanks for watching too 🙏
I love being that pain in the ass support who doesnt get many kills, but never dies and constantly has the enemies searching
Well done!
Thank youu! 💚
This was really helpful. Thanks!
No problem!! i’m glad to help 💚

@@The_Rilo All good. We Sombra mains hack together.
I lurk in the shadows and flank the supports but it's quite hard when the whole team groups up or is like 2 healers and a dps team stacking so I can't flank.

4:32 i dont see the disable translocator camera lock option. when i go to controls->general->hero i only see two options
you need to choose Sombra as the hero. Did this fix?
@@The_Rilo yes ty sir
HOW TO PLAY SOMBRA

tysm that was helpful
You're not alone in here
DUDE I DINT KNWO IT SHOWED IF THEY HAD THEIR ULT WHEN U HACK THEM OMG
I might be a little stupid, but I've seen people throw the translocator an a health pack and then they can teleport to it whenever they feel like it in battle... instead of it teleporting you right away... how do you place the translocator and not teleport right away?
YIPPEE, another Rilo upload ;D

I never knew you can see if the enemies have ult
Yep, anytime they are hacked the ult icon can appear if they have ult. This makes it sooo much easier to plan a fight before hand.
how do I uncloak on command?
using any active ability button (besides Hack in some occasions…and TP) it will take you out of Stealth. So Melee, Ult, shooting, and Virus will uncloak you. An exception to Hack is if you use hack on an enemy it will also take you out.
Since when can you hack orisas ult again?
quite a bit of patches ago 😅
I hate getting killed by flanking sombra’s, so I decided to play her myself
whats your dpi? 800?
Thank you for this. I have 290 hours with her but i dont how her hack and emp interacts with half of characters' abilities lmao
No problem!! Yes she has soooo many interaction it’s crazy. It took me over a week to find them all 😂
Should i main sombra ???
I say yes, others say no…because they don’t won’t to go against her 😂
@@The_Rilo thanks man
Gonna go ahead and learn all of this in an hour before the cowboy bebop skins drop
Now i will be able to counter my worst character :)
If you can’t beat them join them

I thought this was a sombra guide on how to play winston
trying to play sombra in a strafing aim trainer made me realise just how bad my aim is
Yea, training against real people will help you more. Aim trainers have worked, but more for me as a warm up
❤
After sombras rework, she feels a lot more accessible in movement and her annoying gameplay
Yea I was afraid but then I loved it. When they added the update to cleanse stuns I was excited 😂
This is more a complete Sombra character interactions guide. Not much else is provided.
300th like!!
I hate sombra so much I had to switch to her, and my first game playing I immediately got hacked 💀
i’d love to stay and chat but.. i’m not going to😙
4:54
yes, pretty cool to block abilities
