People must be getting their team stack jollies out of the way before the QP change because I just had 6 games with either all Mei, all Roadhog, or all the other "infuriatingly unfun to play against a team of" heroes

The only stack I've ever enjoyed is 6 winstons.

The concept of voicelines alone are annoying.

nah, I can listen to "heppy helloween!" all day
"You done?" and "Next." are nice for McCree and Reaper respectively, but I only spam them when I kill annoying Tracers.
You know, the ones that follow you around and do like 60 damage to you but never actually get close to killing you. Those ones.
I know this might be old news but I found this on the Overwatch wiki and thought it was interesting:
"Sombra originated during the game's early development as a proposed character called the Omniblade, an agile female ninja who would wield shuriken and kunai, predating Hanzo and Genji.
As ideation progressed a Mexican theme was incorporated into her design and she was given the name Sombra, however the concept was shelved when they began incorporating elements of her suggested kit, including a double jump and throwing knives that could reveal enemies through walls, into the two new ninja heroes."

Prepare for the exact opposite considering it stops healer ults.

I'm actually really excited for the total negation of "Mercy flies in at the last second and gets the res off because nobody can shoot her" ultimate. Sombra a good.

Inb4 his and monkey's mind melded into one due to some shit, and his mind is now stuck inside a monkey's body.
Winston's origin story/short when?
So, two tanks + Sombra + any other DPS + 2 healers is new meta?

Healer ults are what stop you from using graviton and wiping every time you have it
I'm worried about the health pack as well. It might not seem but those are important. Fast healthpack regen for allies and enemies can't pick up, effect stays for a minute and it doesn't dispel if Sombra dies.
Apparently healing with hacked healthpack builds up Ult too.

Sombra/Ana/76/Winston
Honestly I hope future heroes follow more the "original" design philosophy of the game, because both Ana and Sombra seem to have been designed with that "She can do everything well" mentality, which is weird because all 21 previous heroes, even ones that were added to the game later (like Genji and Mei) still follow that original concept and are clearly not gods.
I wonder what happened at Blizzard. DId they hire new game designers?

[B]MAXIMUM BALANCE[/B][/QUOTE]
Sombra looks like she's intended to counter the top three heroes pretty hard, while herself being countered by heroes with much lower pick rates (Winston being the hard counter; Hanzo, Soldier, Widowmaker all being softer counters). That had to be a very specific design choice, not a coincidence.
[Edit] Actually on second thought, Winston is probably a softer counter than I realized. Sticking him in a spychecker role is really underutilizing his initiation abilities.
Would Zarya or Lucio even need the current PTR nerfs if Sombra remains as-seen at Blizzcon?
The things I'm seeing as "holy crap" about the Sombra gameplay is the health pack hacking and the ability to instantly drop a fight winning ult from invisibility/teleporting in, but I'm going to reserve my opinion until after I try her on the PTR.
[QUOTE=stupid07er;51316598]Did anyone watch the Weird Al concert? Were Scott Auckerman and Lauren Lapkus really that bad?[/QUOTE]
I had to stop watching because of those two.
My biggest beef with sombra is the health pack hacks. If you hack a large heath pack and camp around it you're nigh-unkillable. Personally I think it should just be used for 1 health pack generation.
Honestly if they just outright got rid of her health pack hacks and opportunist passive she would still seem a powerful hero in my book.
also she has PASSIVE wallhacks what the fuck
[QUOTE=stupid07er;51316598]Did anyone watch the Weird Al concert? Were Scott Auckerman and Lauren Lapkus really that bad?[/QUOTE]
Wait, was there a Weird Al concert at Blizzcon or something?

I think she's an incredibly garbage hero. Very rarely do I come across one I have trouble killing.
I also have been playing Zarya and Mei a lot lately so they both counter D.va really well

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;51317927]I don't really have a problem with this. Our current hero gallery is very one dimensional, which is exactly what has allowed Lucio, Zarya and Reinhardt to become so prominent in the meta. (and to completely deny access for many heroes)
Having someone to counter them as heavily as they counter some of the currently not player heroes is very important for the game's health.
Junkrat for example, might see more play since picking Zarya makes your team very vulnerable to Sombra.
[B]And with Toblerone's buffs,[/B] his armor becomes even more valuable, being a mean of artificial durability that can't be disabled. Additionally, his turret should be able to secure your backlines against Sombra's assault.[/QUOTE]
Wait, what buffs? Is there a list of upcoming changes?

He'll get passive scrap generation and his turret won't give ult charge when killed.
Are we still holding out hope for Sombra on the ptr tomorrow? It seems likely they will keep it to a tuesday release.
