Jabs? Sombra is a stealth cunt that does stabs not jabs like a straight hero.

No, it is 100 damage over time, plus the impact damage which, assuming the target isn’t backed, is 10, for a total of 110 damage to a non hacked target.

She is very powerful in the lower elos. Insane TTK with the virus

Thank you for this

@@AC_Milan1899I’m in gold 1 for dps and I’m an absolute Menace with sombra. Especially on the new game mode, I just take out the supports and then go wait for them to start making their way back.

Did you que support season 1 ?

​@@EB-du3vhI did it was great, had to earn my kills and use skill to keep myself alive

@@G005E-H0NK stop it 😂

Not my zennie 😢

He is not wrong. At the same skill level you cant duel a support. Except zen or weaver.

Agreed. Virus and shoot is way faster

Id say it depends on if you think the supports are gonna get to them in time. If theyre not gonna get healed in those 4 seconds you could literally just shoot them to half health and walk away

@@tsoewoein my experience experience,hacking takes 0.25 or so and makes its very distinct sound so supports turn immediately and gives widow more time to react.I like to either virus headshot her when she scopes or even start with the headshots if she is completely still she dies to 11 bullets which is nothing

It's precisely 0.65 seconds to cast +0.4 seconds recovery time. But the extra 2 seconds is an eternity for higher rank supports to react to just virus.

@@mega17 respectfully,if you’re trying to assassinate the widow next to the supports,you need to kill her fast,hacking wastes time and is VERY noticeable.Virus headshots in my experience is the best way to do it(or if shes still plain headshots)

It also helps you get people off of a problematic hero sometimes. They have a Bastion that's melting your tank? Trap him in spawn until he swaps😊.

@@Unfa1r bastion deserves it tbf.

@@exalted7906 He deserves it + spawn killing is FUN = 😁

I do this all the time 😂

I love doing this lol

Dont worry, blizzard will nerf her and make the game less fun soon!

@@jackhayman4853 guaranteed 🥲

@@jackhayman4853only thing to nerf is her 1.5 second TTK hack virus combo. Because it really is pretty OP in 1v1 situations. Once supports get nerfs sombra will very likely be a BIG problem. S tier pretty easily.

@@WorldKeepsSpinninSombra is pretty mid rn I would even say they should buff sombra because EMP feels like crap to use and builds pretty slowly

​@@aSuperPi.That's the thing, she seems pretty mid while we are in a meta with strong backline, imagine when they get nerfed, she has the potential to be the strongest dps if they mess it up.

He'd lose in diamond lobbies because supports cross heal and are attentive to it. Sombra is pretty worthless right now at any rank above Plat.

most people react to the audio of sombra de-stealthing, sometimes it goes past them and u get away with it but if your close enough for the kill they will hear you de-stealth before you get a hack or virus off, thats just my experience though

Illari low rate of fire? A great hitscan player will easily 2 tap you.

Gm1 main lucio here as well, I can consistently duel sombras and most times that they come for me, they end up dying, just amp to negate all virus damage (the amp buff is beautiful) and as long as you ADAD right and hit your shots, after she tries to escape you can chase her down and kill her very easily

@@KrnlFrog Thats been my gameplan. And preserve Boop for the easier hack cancel

He is SPOT ON with avoiding kiriko at all costs

90 damage over time

It was buffed pre-release from 90 to 100@@cooperswan534

@@cooperswan534It’s 110 damage or 120 damage on a hacked target. You can easily test this in the target range. Hack the tracer bot, virus her and then melee. She’ll die. (120 damage from the virus and 30 from a quick melee

@@logancutler6267 it’s 90

Honestly ngl I’m struggling too with this new play style a little. Like I’m always getting greedy with my kills like I used too and sometimes I don’t think about other characters in the enemy team. Like today we was on a map and my team had to get and move the payload. It was hard mostly because a widow and a torb was on high ground and everytime i tried going for the widow it was either torb or Kirko getting me one time even the Lucio came in and all 4 got me. And now I’m thinking to myself maybe I should have gone for the torb and if kirko shows up I teleport out to act as an distraction. But I was getting frustrated so I was not thinking correctly. And even also sometimes I was in games where there was a bastion or 2 tanks, one of them being rammtra (sorry for some of my bad spelling) and I would attack the rammtra with my tank and other dps. And sometimes I had no tank and just had to deal with rammtra and I was always dying and I was confused with what I had to do because no one else could deal with him. Situations like this is why I get frustrated and just go the whole game without thinking. Also bastion is pretty annoying sometimes and torb too with his turret because it feels like I have to focus with more than one thing at a time. And sometimes I even deal with my stats being higher than my teammates and idk if I’m doing my job correctly or am I making us lose the game with always going for picks and 1v1s. I really only do that when I feel like my tank or team is not doing anything.😭😭😭

Oh yeah and there was one game where I was dying a lot because I was always trying to 1v1 another sombra but I got her sometimes but I also felt like me going for her all the time made my team lose because I was really only focusing on if she would attack my back line. Even though one of my teammates only had 5 kill( we ain’t going to to talk about that) but I was 17 kills and maybe like 5 or 6 deaths and my tank was 20 kills( I forgot their deaths) my Ana had 2 kills but it was all good to me because she was healing the team a lot and I was mostly always trying to protect her from the enemy sombra. And what’s crazy is that enemy team kills were all below 10 but what made us lose was that sombra ulted and killed everyone on overtime . If I hadn’t died because of my bad positioning I could have countered her ult with mine. But it was too late. Even though I was kinda angry at our soujurn for such low kills. I felt like I could have done better because everytime i tried to 1v1 the sombra most of the time it was other people also attacking me or she had gotten an health pack before I could kill her. And what’s crazy is I was killing her most of the time she was alone and no one was attacking me . But maybe I was just diffed ( a little bit💀). I completely forgot my echo stats but I think they were good🤷🏽‍♀️

I think it kinda depends on who you’re targeting and who is able to peel for them.

Bro I did not even think of fake out hacking. This hero has so much depth

Kinda bad for mei to insta iceblock if she is being hacked. She can survive the initial attack and then iceblock to heal up. Also hack is so fast, why not finish the hack while ur at it anyway.

@psyonicvertebrae1717 most meis aren't thinking like that, especially since eliminating mei can be very important to a team fight. And once you hack you have to wait the cooldown which might not be able to get off at a good point. Mei isn't your first priority anyway but if you can bait ice block without hack that's best.

Hack first most of the time, the extra dmg is essential to win the duels, if you can’t hit the virus you shouldn’t be playing sllbra

@@SamitoFPS awesome thank you 🙏

Tell u what, go constantly duel kirikos as sombra and let us know how it goes

Based always complain abo supports. Sucks they actually gonna nerf supports

@@SamitoFPS You haven't played Sombra in comp for 12 days cause u know you're gonna lose that 70% win percentage. You only got that high rate cause you spammed games in the beginning of the season when people are still getting used to the rework. Cmon man, lets see some UPDATED GAMEPLAY

no

Yeah it’ll go faster

Additional damage only happens if you Virus an already hacked/EMP'd target. So Virus after hack.

You get 10 extra dmg if the target is already hacked, but why would you anyway. It's riskier if you virus first because they would have that split second extra opportunity to follow up on you and cancel your hack and the DOT dmg since it's slower could be healed mid 1v1 if they have supports with some awareness

Yes it does give the effect but you lose the extra 10 damage it’s gets on the initial hit

This has been a thing since OW1

@@Ajoi14 Yeah but it's an "Ultimate guide" and it's way more useful now since Translocator flies farther

All of those engages are way higher risk now

Alright so, for your ELO basically what you want to do is hover over sombra in the hero selection screen, and then pick reaper or junkrat instead. Hope this helps :)

You're a genius

downside is that they can interrupt your hack with their weapon once you startle them with virus but still it makes sense to virus first

It's 3 seconds. Translocator shortens it, hence the reason he throws it.

Never said that he'd quit. He said he'd stream it less to focus on Mineplex. Since they're in a development and concept phase and he's been ahead on his work load, he has been streaming and making content for Overwatch (bro's gotta make money).

The only thing Sam quit in terms of Overwatch is hoping for this game to return to the glory it once was on Overwatch 1's release
