@@Doost311You say that, but forcing Sombra to translocate out makes her value dwindle drastically. Essentially you’re making that fight into a 5v4. People seem to forget how easily you can negate her effects. She has the lowest damage compared to all DPS. As long as you stick together and are aware then that’s when she loses her value, also she has so many counter picks that negate her altogether. One shot heroes like hanzo, junkrat and torb easily make her useless altogether. A good Sombra which is rare will try to adapt, but even so she’s still not good.

These aren't complex or high skill concepts... She also has an amazing ulti, so there is that as well

I think Sombra's "irritation" factor is actually one of her biggest advantages. If you annoy the enemy team sufficiently, they might be tempted to overplay you to the point where your existence alone is forcing 1-2 heroes off the team fight for the duration of the match. The problem, as you mentioned, is while you'd expect your team to roll a 4 v 3 every time, should they fail to do so there's very little you can do about it

fitzy is crazy good at what he does. his aim fluctuates between good and bad, but his game knowledge and sense is by far the best in the game. there are days where he has aim so bad it makes mine look good, but his knowledge and game sense carries him HARD. he shotcalls the exact moment when something is going to happen, and its nuts how he can notice every small detail the moment its about to happen in a game. he's at his scariest when he is actually warmed up and his tracking matches dafran at his prime. and he's one of the most chill people too. he's not some sweaty tryhard. and even if his team is bad he is always so positive. even when im not playing sombra i watch him just because its a chill place to be. he taught me the most important life lesson...you see a zenyatta...its time to spawn camp.

Your “learn in 10 days” videos are actually good, some people just do click bait. I learned something new from yours

Ok this probably wasn't intended by Blizzard but this high end playstyle of Sombra fits her character extremely well. Like when she played all sides in the original cinematic of hers. I always had a softspot for Sombra (even though I suffered under her as a squishy little support main) but now it even increased.

Doomfist would be one of the most interesting characters you could learn in full due to how much tech he has, and how complicated his playstyle is as a whole compared to the other tanks barring Hammy. I think it would be a great learning opportunity for both you and your viewers, especially us, given there isn't a whole lot of tankfist educational content out there outside of Get Quaked On.

I used to main Sombra in OW1. Like her OG form. I would constantly tell my team I had EMP and was going to use it in an important team fight. But every time I did use it, my team would sort of stop trying hard. They would stop shooting. Run away. Not use their own ultimates with it….even though it would be the team fight we would need to win.

No wonder why I thought Sombra was so “hard” for me. Usually I can learn new heroes and become good and earn POTG, but Sombra is one of those that you can only get damage out of her if your team knows what they’re doing. Turns out you just have to be lucky and have a good team that know how Sombra works. I’ve spent several hours learning her, and it’s really just hit or miss. You won’t guess how many times healers just completely ignore you and won’t heal you. Relying on health packs is time consuming. When you use her EMP, people don’t even jump in and help finish them up. They just walk away or disappear from view. Then they start blaming you for not doing “enough” damage and they tell you to switch. It’s almost like you’re by yourself when playing Sombra. She’s only good, when the team is good.

Your statement around 2:46 is very good and honestly reminded me of the spy from TF2. Sombra has a lot more to offer than the spy but in TF2 you're better off choosing the Sniper in almost all scenarios.

@Gr3nadgr3gory

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, that's because snipers in TF2 are never anywhere near their team and have one shot potential on all characters. OW players should feel lucky she doesn't have an insta kill button like spy.

This is why I think it’s dumb when people say Sombra is an easy pick. She is not the most mechanically-demanding hero, but she is one of the most strategic. To be good on Sombra, you HAVE to have a game plan and track everyone’s resources. That being said, it’s possible to solo climb with her, but it’s not easy. To get the absolute most out of her, you need to have a team that can communicate and follow up on your plays.

Gonna go back and watch that yeatle ball video after enjoying this one so much. This is my favorite content you’ve produced it’s just so fun to watch fast improvement with great coaching especially when you know the streamer

The thing about spawn camping is that it's only good if there's nothing better to do (like your team lost a scrappy fight and are resetting) because the player walking back from spawn is already not in the fight. Essentially it's a 4v4 on point and hoping they win without you. It's a dice roll.

I've watched a lot of fitzy to learn how he plays but I think I learned more from those short clips of his coaching than all the hours of streaming. I'll have to watch the vod of this coaching on his channel.

Yeah it sucks that people don’t understand how tactic and strategic you have to be playing as her. Depending on the enemy comp or how competent their team is you have to shift priorities and you need to do it quickly. Your spatial perception needs to be at an all time high in order to get value off of her and lastly you need to be patient and well coordinated with your team when you decide to strike. She’s really one of the highest skill cap heroes in my experience along with ball. I hate when people are so negative and toxic towards me but I guess it means I’m doing my job right lol, but sometimes it gets to me like “do they not understand? “

The biggest problem with niche DPS like Sombra in Overwatch is that there's only two DPS, and if they're also playing a janky character, or asleep at the wheel, or AFK, or trolling... your pushes just grind to a halt. So there's some characters who work okay in coordinated team play, but you're just asking for miserable matches if you regularly pick them in solo queue.

I thought I saw this in my recommendations while I was at work yesterday but then I couldn't find it when I got home and I thought I was going crazy or I thought I mistook a a Twitch Notification as a KZread notification or something, I was so confused. I'm so glad you did this. I'm also so happy you Enjoyed it ! I wish everyone could appreciate how bigbrain Fitzy is on Sombra. I'd put his strategic mind up there with Seagull, mL7, Yeattle, Kephrii and Bogur. It's not just mechanical skill, they have a working knowledge of the game and know how to apply that practically. I was a Sombra main back in OW1 (I haven't played much since Role Lock and I don't like how Sombra plays in OW2) and being part of the Super Secret Sombra Squad did indeed make me feel like I was playing Chess or Starcraft as the Master Commander of Armies while everyone else was playing foot soldiers, I felt so smart... but yeah unless you're playing with friends or you're playing in an Elo or in a Region where Everyone knows you (As that One and Only Sombra Main with 700 Hours on the Australian East Coast between 10pm and 2am) it's pretty hard to get good team synergy and value.

As a collecter of terrible teams, i feel your pain so much, i sat at the enemy spawn as orisa for a SOLID minute (by some miracle) holding ALL OF THE ENEMIES BACK, and my team was dead. Exept for the sombra, she was hacking a health pack as i died.

I’d love to see this style of video with Echo :) she’s so fun, and there’s lots of cool stuff you can do with her. She’s also got a pretty unique playstyle being an aerial assassin.

Not only did he help coach u on sombra, but also me and as I watch this video. It made me way better at sombra.

thank you for sharing what you've learned with us , Sombra has been my main dps play since her release because I like her character so much and I can be sneaky picky . playing sombra as I understood with my 70 hrs playtime teach me that you should always communicate with your team to get most value ... and to be honest , it doesn't always work ... they won't listen to you and worst of all the enemy team keeps focusing you so u actually end up doing nothing and hate yourself 😆

Just started playing the game. (I had OW1 from a friend but I played once and quit), I am coming from valorant where I mained yoru due to how he can outplay a team with mindgames. I think I may have found my main in sombra. Great vid!

As someone who loves Sombra's kit but was also struggling, my eyes have been opened just like yours!

Sombra main here; I find that just because she doesn't do a lot of damage doesn't mean oyu have to be annoying. Being a good distraction also is helpful in a match and say the enemy team is fighting your team all the way across the map away from the point- you can just go and run to the point to capture it. My wording was off but i hope you get the picture. Sombra is really fun when you just find your own playstyle, I hope you play her some more!

I hard com when I play Sombra, and its so satisfying when a plan comes together. One of my greatest frustrations with this game is when people are not in chat and taking advantage of the free value that is coms through the mic.

I too have found a new love for sombra from a mercy main to a sombra main ❤️

Liked the format of this. Sombra is extremely fun to play, and Fitzy is transcendent when it comes to decision making for her. If you're looking for the next hero I'd suggest Echo. She's a hero anyone not looking to main hitscan should have in their pocket as a Pharah answer. Also really fun to play.

Dope video, go Fitzy

This motivated me to try and learn to play sombra ☠️ she’s one of those characters where I just don’t play cuz I tried it out few times and just didn’t like the play style. But I’ve changed my mind now 👀

Excellent video, do brig or widow next?

I watched the Streams with Fitzy and highly enjoyed the content since it was very educational (He tells you what you should do and WHY you should do it). I liked the Hands On experience very much. Fitzy is playing 69D Chess xD Fitzy is the real-life Mei. Very nice person to talk to, the Devil on the Battlefield xD

Wow there's so much more to her playstyle than I knew :o also man I gotta check out Fitzy's channel too, sounds v interesting

What's crazy is, I've discovered most of those tips on my own but couldn't use them as well as you or fitsy have, also it's best to have a friend as your other DPS to carry the damage you can't while you pick off the enemy Squishies

I que with 3 other people and I can tell you, She gets SO much value with a decent team. You can call out hacks and reliably either get help for the kill, or get told if you need to back out of the flank and help on main/off point somewhere. Calling out emp for set up with others ults is way easier knowing they will listen and piggyback off your emp.

Now i understand sombra ! Hope you'll do a ramattra video
