The player emphasizes that mastering the hero requires skill and practice, stating, "His APM is extremely high, and he’s the most unconventional hero in the game." They also highlight the hero's capability to carry games while being less reliant on support characters.

Throughout the 89 matches played, the player indicated that Sombra was banned consistently, leading to more strategic gameplay. As they noted, "It gets funnier every time" hearing about the ban on the infamous character.

Players in forums are intrigued by the swift climb, seeking advice and strategies. One commented, "You got any replays or videos?" indicating a desire to learn from unconventional approaches.
