Heroes of the Storm Build Guides
second off globes are not enough to sustain a team, even if you make them global which by itself again, doesnt make sense. it doesnt fit the character and its hamfisted to justify being a support. Her kit has nothing of a support besides hacking health globes which is just an perk for allies not the focal point of her design. her entire kit is flanking and infiltrating and disabling.
lastly, i dont think people realize how worthless sombras trait would be in heroes of the storm in a direct port. Its only useful in OW because there is frequent LoS and multi level dimensions and theres no towers/structures to protect people. Its literally less useful than lunaras/tracers level 1 talent that reveal enemies upon basic attacks because it has the stipulation that they must be low health which 9/10 if someone is low health and they havent backed to safety, the reveal is worthless anyway, as they would die regardless
You dont want a trait that is worse than level 1 talents.
RE: Sombra's trait
I definitely agree that it's weaker in a MOBA when directly ported, but since the Overwatch heroes typically have as faithful a kit as possible, what would you think improves the reveal-based trait? Making the threshold of reveal below 100%? Making it global range?
RE: Globes sustaining a team
You're right that she can't be a teamfight healer off of globes, but she's not supposed to be. This incarnation of Sombra was supposed to be sustain for attrition/macro compositions for certain maps, but I will agree that she needs more healing throughput off of hacked globes.
RE: Why support?
I'm not a fan of the specialist role because of how murky its definition is, and sticking her into the assassin role is completely mindless. Despite being mislabeled as an offense hero in Overwatch, Sombra is currently being used in pro matches when teams are on defense because her health pack respawn is incredibly potent. She flanks/infiltrates to disable more than kill. I'd rather try to approximate her support potential in HotS, but it's hard to do when there are no neutral health pack spawns, which is why I'm trying to mess around with globes.
If Zenyatta had great kill potential, I could see him being an assassin. But while he has great damage, he has mobility limitations that make it hard for him to be a threat outside of duels, which is why his main role should stay as support.
I do honestly think that in HotS, the best current descriptor of my Sombra implementation *is* specialist, but I'd like to try her as a support first.
