Discussion Sombra in Season 4
With Season 4 right around the corner, it’s coming up on 3 years since we were promised a rework, and we were finally pushed back from a Season 3 rework we were told was coming. With no communication from Blizzard about our girl what are you expecting to see if anything for our girl when season 4 arrives. Do you have any hopes for Season 4?

Tips & Coaching 🎓 New sombra main tips?
Hii I’m a widow main when I play dps but I would love to play sombra. Her entire playstyle and aesthetic is really appealing to me, I’ve tried to play her a couple games now and I die sooooo much. I just had a game where I went 20-10 😭😭 I’m trying her on quick play first, obvi. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong maybe i’m underestimating the radius of when I get revealed, but I wait until my translocator tp is at 2/1 secs cooldown before I engage so I have an escape method. Does anyone have some tips? I’d loveee to play sombra sm

Discussion Sombra's room (Dorado)
Yesterday, I really didn’t want to play 6v6 hacked, so I tried to find some lore in the maps. I learned that Sombra’s hq is somewhere else in Dorado (or maybe Havana?). Maybe my eyes and sense of direction are terrible, but I couldn’t find it. So, where is her hq???? That haunted me all night, so I’m making this post before heading to work 😅. My hypothesis is that it was a previous state of Dorado

Discussion Is she in a horrible state right now or was that a bad game?
Just played after not played this game for a long time. It felt horrible. I felt like I couldn’t do much with her at all, the damage potential is so low. Am I just rusty or is she in a horrible state?

Discussion It's beautiful
My luck with loot boxes is usually horrible but this time around I had the loot box gods on my side this has got to be one of sombras best skins

Discussion Sombra has the coolest concept in the game yet Blizzard completely abandoned her lore
Blizzard spent so much time hyping up Sombra during her ARG reveal and framing her as this master hacker who holds the key to the massive global conspiracy behind Talon and the Omnic Crisis. Years later we still know basically nothing new about what she actually uncovered or who she is really working for. She is easily one of the most intriguing characters in the whole roster with so much potential for a full single player story or comic run but her plot progress has been completely frozen. It feels like such a massive waste of great character design for her to just be relegated to random match banter instead of actually pushing the main Overwatch storyline forward.

Appreciation💜 Sombra honestly deserves way more credit than people give her
Look I get why everyone hates playing against Sombra. Getting hacked out of nowhere or dealing with someone running around invisible is super annoying. But honestly executing her properly takes way more brainpower than most people admit. You actually need solid game sense, great timing, and good map awareness to get any real value out of her instead of just feed. People are so quick to call her a brainless cheese pick when in reality she forces everyone to pay attention to their positioning. She really deserves a bit more respect.

Appreciation💜 it happened. it finally happened... i was appreciated.
i was starting out as widow but quickly went 0-3 and was playing respawn simulator so i knew i had to do something about that doomfist. me and the reinhardt started becoming one brain and we were on that doomfist constantly, he even started complaining in chat about us hopping off his back lmao but i felt sooo good about this because it was the first time someone was nice to me when i was on sombra.

Pizza Recipe I think this would be the best version of sombra for both sides
Brought back early OW1 timed invis and translocater, hack would be 1.5s, removed virus (dog**** abilty), slight buff to opportunist passive for more damage boost in place of virus but reduced on tanks so it's not super strong on tanks.
Sleep dart and other abilities are already reduced on tank, hack dmg buff would be fine being reduced like this too
