Gamers are already voicing their feelings about the start of Season 16, especially among Sombra mains. Just a day after the new season dropped, players have expressed concerns about her ban and their preferred alternatives.
Sombra Bans Spark Community Response
One player noted they haven’t played Sombra but empathized with those who do, highlighting the ongoing ban issue affecting gameplay. The fallout from Hero Bans has left players reassessing their strategies.
Damage Control: Who’s Filling the Gap?
Amid the changes, many are opting for damage-focused characters like Ashe and Sojourn. One comment highlighted:
"For DPS, Ashe and Sojourn. Mei/Sym if the situation calls for it."
This sentiment echoes throughout the forums as players search for reliable DPS options in lieu of Sombra.
Support Roles on the Rise
Interestingly, support roles are gaining traction among players. As bans limit their characters, many are shifting focus. One player remarked:
"I think I’m just going to focus more on support since Sombra is by far my favorite DPS character."
This shift seems to be a coping mechanism as players adapt to the current state of play.
Quotes Reflect User Sentiments
"I do a damage only mercy challenge."
"I’m focused on Stadium rn so not feeling the bans."
"Playing Juno so I can stay girlypop until something is done."
These comments reveal a mixed emotional landscape among players, from frustration to finding new strategies.
