Before I start, I would like to thank the Overwatch™ Team™ for listening to our cries for help. You guys are pretty cool.

So recently we got some more Sombra changes, fixing some of the problems with the new iteration of Sombra, but there is still one major problem with these changes, and that is that Sombra still cannot contest while invisible. I have a couple of ideas that will allow Sombra to keep the ability contest, while still keep the ability to have infinite invisibility. I will explain why these changes are so important for her in a moment.

The changes

Stealth

– Now has a 6 second duration that activates upon going into stealth which gives Sombra the ability to contest objectives as well as a 75% speed buff. When this duration is over, stealth has a 25% speed buff from 75%, and no longer contests objectives.

– Also has a timer timer (where the old translocator timer used to be) that shows you how much time you have left in “buff mode”.

Why the speed?

The problem with the current 50% speed buff on PTR is that it feel way too slow when you are trying to get into the position you want to be. The idea is that the 75% speed buff will be used to quickly get into the position you want to be, and the 25% is there just to lurk and spam voice lines. The reason why PTR stealth was set to 50% speed buff is because you could probably cross the map within 10 seconds, which is too fast. I chose 25% because 50% would cause the same problem as i just said, being way too much speed. With these changes, by the time your speed buff is over, you will already be in the position you need to be in to spy or wait for a moment to make a play.

Conclusion: Get into fight quicker —> Stay sneaky

Why is stalling so important?

Successfully stalling a point long enough for your team to come back and get another fight is one of the biggest plays Sombra can make, because it can win games if done properly. Removing it was one of the biggest concerns from Sombra players, because it’s a huge nerf to one of the most important parts of her kit. I’ll let this clip speak for itself…

BONUS: Turret’s can’t attack translocator.

I’m sorry if some of what I said sounded confusing… not the best at explaining these sorts of things, hope it made any sense, there were a lot of numbers. Thanks for reading, and I hope the devs consider these changes, they would do a lot for Sombra.
