Support NeoGAF

[yeehamuffins]

Yeah, as somebody who plays a lot of Zarya... those abilities have me legit shook. Turning off my barriers AND my shield? Ouch.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Well Sombra sounds fucking awesome and something I'd love to play.

 

[Data West]

RIP Lucio

she shouldn't be an issue for lucio at all.

other than jacking his word

 

[onepiecefan]

Oh wow she's looking pretty OP already lol, the footage of the EMP disabling the high noon, rein shield and turret all at once :O

 

[Kito]

Sombra might be offence class but doesn't seem like a DPS hero. Wonder how she will fit into compositions.

 

[Tovarisc]

Does the Hack also stop Ultimate abilities?

Because if so...holy cow.

On her page she stops Fullhog with hack so yes, it stops ults.

Ok emp seems op as fuck

 

[Symphonic]

Looks like more strategic offense.

 

[Jellie]

Doesn't her ult counter his? Gets rid of barriers/shields.
Or is it reinhardt shield and zarya barriers?

 

[AngryMoth]

Abilities sound really cool. Do wish she had been a support hero though, the game needs more of those.

So did I understand this right; Oasis is a full scale map and the cryo-lab is gonna be for arcade mode?

 

[Data West]

new heroes are going to keep being way more wildly game changing compared to the old heroes

this is going to be an issue.

 

[MUnited83]

Is there any estimate on when will she be added to PTR?

 

[LiK]

Sombra can destroy wombo combo Ults and annoying Reins. Gamechanging hero. Maybe I'll try to play her a bunch.

Is there any estimate on when will she be added to PTR?

they said next week

 

[Plesiades]

Yep.

Sombra's abilities!

She seems insane.

Meis, Meis everywhere. Only Winston will be better at flushing out an invisible Sombra, and his barrier is countered a bit Sombra's ultimate.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Sombra's ultimate seems like the perfect way to break a cheese-fest static defense in solo queue (depending upon the radius of course).

I wonder if it knocks Bastion out of turret form?

 

[Prelude.]

RIP Eichenwalde choke.

 

[NeoRaider]

 

[xaosslug]

ha, knew Sombra would be Offense. She sounds... super-annoying. >_> She seems like a hard counter for the Rein, Zarya, Lucio meta...

 

[Tovarisc]

Is there any estimate on when will she be added to PTR?

I think Mike said next week. So added to live maybe 3 weeks from now.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

I wonder if she has like 150hp or if her SMG is ass.

There are going to be A LOT of useless Sombra players, but the pros will be amazing to watch with her.

 

[Alucrid]

Doesn't her ult counter his? Gets rid of barriers/shields.
Or is it reinhardt shield and zarya barriers?

wait, does it get rid of shields as in blue hp bar shields in addition to shields like reinhardts?

 

[antitrop]

RIP Eichenwalde choke.

Thank fucking God

 

[JHall]

I'm buying Sombra's golden gun the day she comes out.

 

[LiK]

maybe we can be a Tracer/Sombra combo for Season 3

 

[Data West]

Keep in mind hack has what looks like a charge time. Like if Hog just pointed his gun at her, she'd be blown across the map instantly and wouldnt be able to do it.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

am I really the only one that loves her design? Dem hairstyle plus all dem purple makes her one of my favorites.

i love her

 

[yeehamuffins]

Hmm, now that we know she's stealth-related, I remember a while back when character lines were extracted from the PTR like "I know someone's there, but I can't see them." Makes me wonder if Sombra's stealth is going to be like Symmetra's teleporter, where using it triggers a call-out on the enemy team from whoever's closest.

 

[Kurumi]

I would like a Sombra boop emote in-game Blizzard. Please and thank you.

 

[Owzers]

I thought the end of the Sombra video was going to show another new character

 

[pelicansurf]

Meis, Meis everywhere. Only Winston will be better at flushing out an invisible Sombra, and his barrier is countered a bit Sombra's ultimate.

I mean, her ult will be nullified by sombra's ult, which makes her waaaay worse (Mei). So it's basically going to be a similar cat/mouse as Genji Ult and Zen Ult, waiting for the Sombra Ult to be popped, before anything else is. Also, because most of her abilities don't deal damage/heal, looks like she'll have a long Ult charge time as well.

 

[pinkurocket]

Luv her nails.

 

[onepiecefan]

I'm tryna' think, who/what's actually a good counter to Sombra?

 

[LiK]

The Boop! spray makes more sense now.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

RIP Eichenwalde choke.

Thank goodness. For all the talk about how an organized team can wreck a cheese-fest static defense, lower level PUGs still die to that shit all the time.

I'm tryna' think, who/what's actually a good counter to Sombra?

My instincts say that she won't actually be that effective at killing. She's classified Offense because of how damn good she'll be at busting static defenses.

 

[Symphonic]

Overwatch League is pretty much exactly what I've always wanted eSports to be. Stoked.

 

[DevilDog]

She seems super annoying, I wonder what her m1 is though. Hope it's very skill based.

 

[Data West]

Winston depending on the hack CD

 

[Mendrox]

new heroes are going to keep being way more wildly game changing compared to the old heroes

this is going to be an issue.

Like with Mobas so characters will someday be reworked

I love her. She changes the whole game for everyone. Excited for new metas.

 

[caesar]

Looks like an smg ala soldier but less range?

 

[Wyndstryker]

Sombra looks fun, might be another offense hero I'm interested in.

 

[gutshot]

I thought the end of the Sombra video was going to show another new character

Same. Thought it was Doomfist at first.

 

[Jellie]

wait, does it get rid of shields as in blue hp bar shields in addition to shields like reinhardts?

I'm assuming so since it says barriers/shields which sound barrier is shields.

Protective waves radiate out from Lúcio’s Sonic Amplifier, briefly providing him and nearby allies with personal shields.

Also do any other heroes have three abilities?

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

I thought the end of the Sombra video was going to show another new character

I thought they were calling in Doomfist.

Would have been a hype as fuck way to end it.

 

[AngryMoth]

Like the sound of their plays for the overwatch league but doesn't that completely fuck with current status quo? I mean, there are lots of big name teams out there with sponsorships and stuff, how are they gonna transition into the city based model?

 

[xaosslug]

her translocator is OP af, especially if she has her ult up. THE FUCKERY TO COME, tbh.

 

[Data West]

Zen would probably kick the shit out of her also. You could put a discord orb on her before she hacks you and you can nail her in the head when she's trying to teleport away. Depends also on the duration on cloak and if there's any flicker.

 

[Tovarisc]

Can't complain about having meta spray in my collection.

 

[Fancolors]

Sombra looks pretty dope, but the thing I'm most excited about is Zarya in the end of that short lol
