I have briefly held this overwatch hero, but I never want anything like it in Marvel rivals

With Overwatch 2 To make me fall in love with the game thanks to the stadium and Marvel Rivals Absolutely nailed consistent content cases and free rewards, I have had good reasons to share my time between both heroic shooters. And by playing both games it is easy to see where Netease took inspiration from the most acclaimed hero shooter of all time. While it mixes and matches abilities so that there are no exact copies of a Overclock Hero, lots of abilities are clearly drawn from Blizzard's game, whether it is Squirrel Girl's Junkrat-like attacks, Magnetos Sigma Vibes, Winter Soldier's Roadhog-Esque Hook or Emma Frost's ramattra-like attitude. But I never want to see something similar to sombra in Marvel RivalsAlthough I used to play her often.

Sombra is an orphan hacker who goes with Talon

To be clear I have hardly touched sombra in Overwatch 2. Instead, I have mainly played Reinhardt in it for free to play the sequel, because I love the feeling of landing a risky pins or a large soil shell (although it means stressing out my support-playing fiancee). Still, there was a time when I really loved to play sombra in the first game. I had gotten tired of freezing and killing myself as a reaper and felt like pushing back with an rational character of my own, so I did my best to learn the Talon hacker. I got pretty good with her too and quickly found satisfaction with “stealing” games of the games through her hacking height. But it didn't take long before I did devastation because Sombra felt a little cheap for me, and I went back to playing as Tracer and Cassidy when I wanted to deal with injuries. I was well aware of how Hated Sombra became, and I didn't want to be part of the problem. And now I just hope that Netease does not take inspiration from her kit.

Overwatch's sombra is a nightmare in the right hands, and rivals should have that in mind

Overwatch 2 sombra changes teased hero ban

The current version of Sombra may be quite balanced, but she was oppressive for so long (and can still be in the right hands), so she remains an often target for Overwatch 2Hero forbids. As for why she hated, the following features will think about:

Sombra's ability to troll and capture support: Thanks to her stylish and ability to move quickly over the battlefield, it is easy for Sombra to get into a backline, chop a support, hit them with a virus and kill them before using her translocator to get away. From there she can catch her unhappy victim in Spawn by waiting at the door.
Sombras hack disables abilities: Sombra's hacking ability has been extremely frustrating to handle too many, as it locks them out of their abilities for 6 seconds, making it difficult for some heroes to escape or strike back. Every CC skills that takes control away from the affected player tends to be hated, from Mei's old freezing (my personal least favorite) to Cassidy's flashbang.
Difficulty in counteracting sombra – While a roadhog hook can catch her by guard, and faster heroes can chase Sombra, many heroes who lack mobility can fight to end sombra before she goes invisible and runs off. With her ability to hack the health package in the area, she can also give herself an advantage to anyone trying to chase her.

Although clear action has been taken to make Overwatch 2Which is less of an inconvenience, many players still think she is annoying, and it's easy to see why. If she catches unhappy Overwatch 2 Supports in its spawnrum, fails to join team fights or not get enough value to motivate the choice, is a character that many players hate to fight together and against. More often than not, it feels like a sombra is more focused on entertaining yourself than winning a match, which is a big no for myself and other competitive players.

This is all the information that Marvel Rivals can and should note when designing their future heroes. No matter how much Blizzard has tried to change sombra and make her more fair, she remains hated. Her hacking ability will always be extremely frustrating no matter how it is adjusted, but still it would remove her from her identity, as it is a skill that is important to her character. With some characters like Ana who simply lack the ability to move, it is to counteract Sombra a nightmare for them, but her stealth and speed are a big part of why she is fun to play. In the end, Blizzard will forever get stuck between a stone and a hard place with Sombra, as if her fans regularly claim that she is too weak, even in poor state, many will be quick to ban her.

Marvel Rival has some options for a sombra-like hero, but it shouldn't take them

Marvel Rivals Has some heroes that it can introduce with hacking skills, a teleporter and other technical -based abilities, from superpowered individuals to geniuses. Options include, but are not limited to:

If Marvel Rivals Had a sombra -equivalent, there would be endless debates about whether the game was healthier before or after the said hero was introduced. With so many sombra players who find joy in bullying those who can't strike back, it's hard to imagine a Rivals Hero who works like she is hated less, because the same scenarios would probably play. So even though it is easy to imagine the daughter of Reed Richards and Sue Storm that pulls out a gadget to hack the health package or disable her opponents' abilities, there is something best left for the imagination. Marvel Rivals After all, have a toxicity problem, so adding a character similar to Sombra would only add fuel to the fire.
