RIP Mercy.
Are you a mercy player who is adept at dueling tracers, ducking from winstons, hiding from genjis, ALL AT THE SAME TIME, and want a new hard mode to really put your lifespan to the test?
Then behold Sombra, a character who can stealth (lovely, those are ALWAYS fun) every 15 secs and can teleport back whenever she is in actual danger to her safespot on a quickly recharging health pack that allows her to basically keep attacking the backline of the enemy team "for free". And rest assured dear mercy player, she will be constantly aiming for you
If that isn't enough, she can smell your fear! She can hack you so you can't heal or even autoregen (thus allowing her to track you after you disengaged from combat and let her finish the job), and that's without her ulti.
Oh yeh, final nail in the mercy shaped coffin: she can cockblock your rezes, the main criteria by which mercy players are judged (at least in my experience, few people thank me for the awesome heals), and failing to deliver those perfect 4-5 man rezes will always see your team descend on you like a swarm of angry piranhas and you shall be judged the reason they lost (which in this case they might have a point...if a hero shuts you down this bad, guess it's time to switch to friggin boring lucio..Actually you know what, fuck them, stay mercy!).
Seriously character looks fun for a stealth/assassin character, something im usually not fond of, but as a mercy main i just don't see how im ever going to be able to play her ever again in competitive games :/
Doesn't help that sombra seems practically custom designed for competitive play, i fully expect her to be in every team once she is out.
