I absolutely LOVE this Sombra rework. Her playstyle fits the lore perfectly now! The way she carefully plans her next move while watching the enemies, then waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike and getting an important kill with ease, is how she should have been played since day one! Not her "oh shit I gotta get out if my plan doesnt work". Sombra wouldnt play like that, Sombra knows that her plan will work!
since supports are so overtuned in this game, i found myself having to hack a target, then virus as a combo for the best chance at securing a kill before a support steps in to save a teammate. cooldowns are generally pretty quick and you can get a good rythym with the cooldowns so you have the combo on every engagements. Nice vid fitz!
It's better to virus first instead of hack when you're up against something without cooldowns, ana no nade, soldier no healing field. That way you have a higher chance they can't react
Yes! If your target gets healed, your combo will be useless af. But if you wait for the perfect opportunity, you will get a kill without any big trouble. THIS is how Sombra is portrayed in the lore and it fits perfectly. Carefully planning her move, isolating the target and then aggresively going in to secure the kill. After the job is done, going into the shadows again. I love the rework so much!
One thing I do that I learned from tf2 is to cause paranoia to the enemy, having them more focused on you than paying attention. Ik before u could still cause that but it’s more easier and more doable in the rework
I LOVE it! Hacking one guy in the back, going invis and watching him shoot the air for a minute gives me such joy. And getting them to the point of focusing me is great too.
The new rework makes her a little bit less of a headache for tanks and a great counter for snipers, anything that ruins the fun for one shotters I support fully.
@fitzythere question: with S7 Sombra, hack then virus or virus then hack against snipers/back lines? Personally hack then virus as for window for example, the hack should stop them slinging away to land the virus then shoot to kill right? Or else they can escape after they got virus and hard to get the full hack in?
Skill issue supports are overtuned. The rework somber actually is easier to deal with as a support now that she doesn’t have free jail out free card she actually has to commit to a kill or be punished for it
@@Seyanoo(I agree that supports are overturned, but…) not really. Now, you take the damage from virus and you can’t do anything about it. Even if you aim well and kill her, you’ll die too. Before, if you hit a few good shots she would TP out- meaning that while she was still alive since she TPd, you would be alive too. Now you can’t do anything against it if you are alone no matter how good you are. I prefer playing as and against old Sombra much more
Right now I don't exactly play Sombra much but I played her in a match today and man, just shredding anyone that's in a bad position is messed up, don't even need to hack them to kill them.
Sombras really good to play against and as now thanks to you being able to punish her for mistakes and the rework really shows just how overpowered healers are, perfect accuracy barrel stuffing into their weakest link can still do absolutely nothing because of how mindlessly easy it is to escape and protect as a healer
I love the changes back then you coudn't hack a widow without the risk of death but now not only do you deal more dmg you can also throw a rubix cube at their head and watch them fall over
@@CopShowGuyYeah I've seen other comments about how she's too deadly now. So. . .you wanted her to get her movement taken and still deal shit damage ?
I've been bullying anyone foolish enough to go widow this season lmao. Don't even need to hack them, just walk up behind them, blast with virus, lazer in to head. GG 175 hp widow lmao.
Hanzo mains after: getting a mythic skin But also being removed from the game no longer insta countering sombra not being able to one shot a mei and reaper I am in shambles
They can react to the hack sound and start evading. Sometimes it isn't even worth hacking the target. Hitting the Virus and getting a few accurate shots into them will often give you more value than going for the hack first.
@@CopShowGuy I don't disagree. I think it's better the other way though. I've had a lot of success doing this, and the numbers don't lie. There's always different playstyles.
@@lf2334 What you decide to do really depends on the situation. If the enemy is alone or if they're a support, going for the hack first can be good. If they're close to their team, just going for Virus first may be the better play.
I mean isn't it fucking stupid to turn back and throw translocator to safer place. It takes so much time. I dislike the new tranlocator a lot. Like wtf even was this idea?
fitzy is going 26-27 on new sombra, that's literally 49% winrate 💀are we supposed to believe sombra is viable? if you watch his vids from a month ago, fitzy dies maybe 3-4 times a game, now its like 10+
@@kogama2202then hanzo need to back old arrows hitboxes. Enjoy fucking logthrowing or uncounterable hack (you need inhuman reaction to turn around and shoot the sombrero)
@@sootyb6771 Ahh yes. You must stay 10 feet away from the enemies as a "sniper"... And get all the spam in your face 24/7. Ofc you can still somewhat play and survive, click heads. It's just not enjoyable anymore. At all.
"My sniper character plays away from the team like a sniper and can be flanked, this is SO unfair" now excuse me while I go one shot everyone on the enemy team while 5 miles out of the fight because I'm playing valorant while they're playing OW 💀
We must take revenge for what Hanzo mains have done to us since OW1.
It's so funny killing a Hanzo so satisfying
Yep, it is satisfying to kill the snipers 😊
to every ppl who play ow we need to have a revenge
Yaaaaaassss
She’s a menace
Sombra has become a bigger sniper menace than she was before
A meta that bullies one shot characters is a meta that's okay with me
Exactly right
Us Sombra Mains are Chaotic Neutral. We’re jerks but we know how to do good sometimes.
Leave the snipers to us.
Sadly I don't think Sombra is meta rn. Kiriko and Bap are too strong atm and the former especially just dumpsters Sombra's entire kit.
@@lazarusofentropy5966ive always said this. Sombra= no one-shots and no annoying abilities on the battlefield at the cost of the enemy team’s sanity.
But zen :(
"CLEAR COMMS"

It reminded me of him breaking a fight between Jay3 and Unsalted in Rialto

Just "boop" near them and wait for them to go crazy

It’s so satisfying to see that sombra has to actually commit and not just TP across the map when they’re weak
5:17 that Lucio died IRL from that hack 😂
I love that Sombra is now what she was always meant to be.
she is no longer a Joke hero.
On the new maps I find a lot of “healthpack looking areas” even w the blue hue but often there’s no health pack in that area .
The cliff is their best player ☠
Ok I REALLY liked how you played in this match. I think you've finally broken the old sombra habits!
As fun as that is it quickly becomes a nightmare if the moth is watching over both snipers
The new rework makes her a little bit less of a headache for tanks and a great counter for snipers, anything that ruins the fun for one shotters I support fully.
Everytime Fitzy screams it reminds me of goofy 😂
hunting hanzos as sombra adds years to my lifespan
bro said clear comms lmfao
Sombra is a necessary evil against one-shot meta

Is there a reason not to use the hack+virus combo when engaging!? Like I can't see why not! Or is there something I'm not seeing here!?
As a sombra and hanzo main, I am utterly conflicted by this
you sound like lemongrab from adventure time your screams are insanely similar 🤣
Wondering why giving players some control over their translocator would be too strong?
3:14 sarcastic "oh no" 😂 since you're soo much better
I killed a Widow, their mercy revived her.... I then killed her again.
I did that to a Hanzo the other day! Feels great!
I've been terrorizing widows and mercy's and I've got it all recorded and cut into a lil 3 min clip. It's beautiful
Always search for new sombra gameplay to learn how to play her now 😢
It’s so fun playing sombra right now but playing as support against her is a literal nightmare 😭
fr ive been swapping to kiriko like 90% of the time just so I have a chance of not dying instantly to her 😭😭

How can I play the new Sombra? I suck at her. And I use to be really well played , now it's like going forward now. And I wanna know how ?
Sombra, the fun killer
Found the Hanzo/Widow player
cry
Sombras really good to play against and as now thanks to you being able to punish her for mistakes and the rework really shows just how overpowered healers are, perfect accuracy barrel stuffing into their weakest link can still do absolutely nothing because of how mindlessly easy it is to escape and protect as a healer
Playing rein into bastion Sombra seems wild. Is that not as bad of a pick as I feel like it is?
Bullying widow? Thank god theres a character who can save us lmao😂
Ok really sick thumbnail

Love to see the Hanzo players malding this season
Idek why tho you literally just have to hit the shot. If you don't you deserved the L just like always. It's the widow players I feel for.
Push to talk seems exhausting
Lucio skates are so loud.
As a hanzo main I disapprove this message lol
Glad to see Hanzo finally has a counter
This is what everyone wanted, a Sombra rework.
It was "SOOOO annoying when she ran away from a fight". Well now she sticks around and can actually kill you.

Why doesn't he hack before throwing Virus? It drops their health bar twice as fast, and does 10 more burst damage on contact. It's a no brainer.

Give people time to learn the hero better. She's still new. How many deaths were just from new trans behavior?
Most annoying hero next to ball and tracer. Heroes that aren't even that good but it's equally as frustrating as killing one fly after another.
how is it fair

No.
Make Widow 150hp.

It's so easy to hard counter widow now. No matter how good they are and how bad you are at Sombra. This is so stupid and unfair
Play closer to your supports. Easy save. Just means a widow can’t be one dimensional anymore. Good.

Widowmaker is an unfair hero to play against so this is fine
One shots have no place in 5v5 so that's perfectly okay 👍
