I'm not sure what version of the game you're playing if you believe that. She absolutely shreds people up close. Anyone with a decently sized hitbox is toast if you get the drop on them (excluding Tanks obviously but even then they are great for farming ult charge).
Her primary fire is perfectly fine, damage wise. If you're close enough to where the spread of her gun doesn't matter then you rip people apart.
Just empty your clip at mid to close range depending on the enemy. Eg mccree and reaper have terrible hitbox and you don't want to get near so you can one v one them mid range. You can one clip most dps or close to it if you are good with the aim. Tanks get shredded too.
What in her kit does damage? Lol
Who said that you were saying she sucked? What? We're disagreeing with the fact that her gun is supposedly weak, which is completely false. I have to wonder how much of her you've even played if you think that. The only thing I can think of besides that is that you're somehow missing the majority of shots fired/only hitting body shots.
Uh, literally the stats of the gun say that's it's weak dude. Lol
The gun does decent damage, it's the spread that's bad. If you compare to tracer then yeah it's weak but it does do damage quite well. Also, she's the most fun hero to me.
Yea and that's exactly why I dont like her as much as it feels like I should. Not everyone needs to feel the same way.
Well it's all relative of course, compared to nothing Sombra does indeed 'shred' I assume that we have an obvious basis of conversation here and when we compare her guns, we do it to the characters that are in her category, of which she is the weakest.
Go into the practice range the next time you log on to the game, shoot a couple of bots with Soldier/Tracer and then shoot a couple of them as Sombra. I think you'll be surprised at what you find.
An inferior version, to be sure.
Can you post your account name so I can look up your damage stats and we can get this over with? LolGo into the practice range the next time you log on to the game, shoot a couple of bots with Soldier/Tracer and then shoot a couple of them as Sombra. I think you'll be surprised at what you find.

Or you could just do what I said and literally compare her raw damage output to other DPS heroes in a controlled environment? How would individual stats on any player's account matter when you're trying to argue her flat DPS numbers? There's nothing to get over here. If you want to see what me and others are telling you, test it out yourself. I dunno why you're getting so heated about this, enough to bust out the "lol let me see ur k/d bro whats ur account" shtick.
I mean, he was the one that brought up "on paper" so I'm just responding to accusations of low raw damage output. That said, I play on PC and your statement is pretty hyperbolic. It's plenty easy to hit the majority of your shots on strafing targets (except for Widow and Ana but that makes sense obviously). I just wholeheartedly disagree with the notion that her DPS sucks, especially after the buffs that allow her to play more offensively.
You can't really compare her to others since her roles is very different with a different playstyle. She isn't meant to be a primary damage dealer like soldier or play like a Tracer. She's meant to disrupt the enemy, usually their tanks to allow the damage dealer to do work. She doesn't do high damage but its not weak damage like a winston tickle. It's a very decent amount of damage.
Damage includes shields lost from EMP btw so if you hit a 6 man sound barrier and a rein shield thats 5k damage.
You want to get into a pure stats game as an argument that Sombra's gun isn't weak? I can go shoot a stationary target dummy, and Sombra's gun will still do the lowest damage per bullet of any DPS. That's just how the game works.Or you could just do what I said and literally compare her raw damage output to other DPS heroes in a controlled environment?

I don't think anyone's arguing that because it's the truth. If you want straight DPS, there are better heroes to play in that regard. She was never meant to be that type of hero anyways.
You're not accounting for her RoF at all, which is why I said to go test it out. Her low bullet damage means nothing when she outputs 20 bullets a second.
I dont even know what we're arguing about then. I've said nothing that disputes any of this.
It is weak in general. For her specific role? Sure, it's fine. Compared to every other bullet firing object you shoot in Overwatch as a tank or DPS except I guess Dva (but she shoots much more often and accurately) it is weak.
Why else would you play her in anything other than her intended role? Of course she's not ideal when you're not playing her in the way she was intended to be played. WAT. If your whole argument is based off of playing her in unideal circumstances then suddenly this debate makes a lot more sense.
It's fine as in she is a viable character.Why else would you play her in anything other than her intended role? Of course she's not ideal when you're not playing her in the way she was intended to be played. WAT. If your whole argument is based off of playing her in unideal circumstances then suddenly this whole debate makes a lot more sense.
For the bold, you brought up her damage per bullet being low without considering RoF, so I in turn said you should go test her raw DPS out on a stationary target vs. another DPS hero and see what you find. That's all that ever was.
I mentioned it above but I feel the exact same way. Roadhog for instance may as well be classified as DPS.
Pretty sure they are just regular boxes, but I'd love to be wrong.
Lost my GM promo game because our Mercy never Rez'd on King's Row. Easily one of Mercy's best maps, too.
In all my hundreds of hours of Comp, I've never seen a team as angry as they were at her.
He has to find a way into U.S. servers first.
