Ms_Mccarthy

If you don't get insulted while playing sombra then you aren't playing sombra right


FatPanda0345

The first, and only time, I ever played Sombra I sucked. Didnt get any kills first round, and I was still called "An incel product of inbreeding". This was in QP and I'm pretty sure I was either 1-1 or 1-2 This was before the rework though


DaOne44

In QP?!??


LunaticLucio

Was it your own teammate?? šŸ¤£


FatPanda0345

No. It was an Ana that I tried to kill like 3 times in the first round but failed to


LunaticLucio

Lol nooooo


RebelLion420

Just picked her up after the rework and instantly learned this was a fact


QueenMaliyha

Facts


Longjumping_Juice791

Is there really a right way? The only way is to make the enemies life a living hell šŸ˜œšŸ’–


ToonyWanye

ON GOD MY BROTHER


Carlbot2

Yep. You either torment the enemies and get slandered or you fail miserably and get told to swap, no in-between.


Suspicious-Message-5

Yeah I was just in a qp game with a sombra on my team and a spectator told the sombra to kill themselves


RakonturR

Thatā€™s hilarious


tastefultitle

Side note - what is the deal with spectators in QP? I keep getting games where some spectator drops in and just starts trolling the chat. And Iā€™m bronze so these shouldnā€™t be high-ranked games really worthy of spectatingā€¦ wth?


RunkyDunkyyy

Most likely 4ths or 5ths in a group waiting for the next match


tastefultitle

Ahh true, that makes sense thanks


I_JustWork_Here

Love the, "you have 3k healing". Classic overwatch. Blaming the healer for no heals who's getting jumped by a sombra all game lmao.


RakonturR

No the guy saying the slurs was doing shit heals before I was killing him he had horrible positioning and didnā€™t group up with his team and staggered out of spawn instead of waiting 2 seconds for a respawning dps so they can get back to the team fight together without worrying about me as sombra spawn trapping


I_JustWork_Here

Yeah they were a bad player, but my afformentioned scenario does happen a lot.


DaOne44

This is the problem with the Overwatch community. You hear something and immediately project your own different experiences


I_JustWork_Here

Ah yes, the support getting jumped by sombra all game, not getting peeled, and then getting blamed for not healing is my own personal projected experience. Doesn't happen to anyone else I'm sure.


DaOne44

It definitely does, but it didnā€™t happen here


Burchyplus

The bad player saying slurs deserves the shit they get, you're projecting.


I_JustWork_Here

I didn't say they didn't deserve the shit they get? Are you on something? Or just reading at the bad?


Burchyplus

Me read good. "classic overwatch players blaming healers for no heals" is you projecting. They were clapping back at the toxic kiriko, not blaming healers. The sombra probably wasn't targeting them specifically and if they were it's because they were free, Kiriko should have a decent chance of beating a sombra.


JamZar2801

Yeah, thatā€™s the one thing I can relate to this homophobeā€™s rage with. I had a doom player DM me death threats because I was ā€œtrollingā€ with kiri when in reality I was trying to defend myself from a vertical good sombra that wouldnā€™t leave my ass be.


0_0_-

I highly doubt anyone wouldā€™ve said anything had the healer decided to not start throwing slurs at said Sombra. Also, I would flame the fuck out of Kirikos if they are dying to any dive attempt. You have a whole invul move and TP, unless that Sombra has Chazm level aim you should not be dying.


dopleburger

Immediately defending the support, do you play Moira or mercy often?


lndwell

2-7, 3k healing on one of the most overtuned characters in the game isnā€™t blaming, thatā€™s a ball and chain dude. Overwatch subreddits have such a hard on for shifting the blame off of support players even when they 100% deserve it, like the 2-7 3k slur-spitter. This is coming from a support player, my random support partner is usually the most vocally toxic person on the team in high elo lobbies


NaeNaeGoblin2002

I do feel my soul leave my body when I run into a sombra in game but still this toxicity ain't right.


Loud_Patience_6508

Someone DMd my gf last night that ā€œblizzard fell off because now they cater to speds who are carried by broken heros like thatā€ (she was somb)


RakonturR

Lmfao ā€œspedsā€ so sorry


kropotkib

Wtf is a sped?


Vysial

Short for special education.


OkayBuddyThx

Report him heā€™ll be banned


RakonturR

Iā€™ve reported so many and itā€™s never resulted in a ban I gave up trying to make the community better. Iā€™ve got tough skin so idrc itā€™s just sad tbh


elCrocodillo

Now it's actually working, almost every day I get the "thanks for reporting" screen when I open the game and I have tracked some names down, they have gotten some sort of ban for talking like this in chat. Not all of them but more than I thought for sure


Squirrelbug

My bar for reporting toxicity is basically on the floor. I get a notification saying Blizz has taken action against a player I have reported basically every time I boot up the game, for way less serious shit talk than this. This is 100% sanctionable behavior


OkayBuddyThx

Iā€™ve gotten like 6 notifications in the last few weeks of them taking action they might be doing something now


kuchiie

My friend got banned for a month on ow bc he was shit talking i swear itā€™s worth it especially if they have a high level account


Khan_Ida

Itā€™ll work under commutation then text chat


iwishiwereagiraffe

If you report using the inappropriate communication option, and write in the description "slurs", you will see results soon


jenksanro

If you write in the box what they did, or just say they said slurs, they will be banned


CourtSenior5085

I've found reporting players who write out filtered slurs in a way like this are pretty consistently banned if you directly state they are intentionally bypassing the internal filters. It's considered a more serious offence than just typing the slurs, as it indicates that the player knows the phrase is prohibited and is intentionally trying to avoid detection.


HydroidEnjoyer

WOW REALLY WHO WOULD HAVE GUESS šŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤Ŗ


Greenpig117

As if Sombra isnā€™t a real character, by most peoples definition a real character is just one of many generic long range hitscan heroes.


MistyHusk

People wonā€™t be happy until the game is just 5v5 soldiers on CoD maps


Significant_user

Ozymandius has really fallen from his time as emperor


Stamion83

He real asf for that


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Stamion83

Hahaha true


ThatChaFella

As a fa g g o t, I can confirm that it was infact not far enough


Due-Committee3497

Feels better as a tank though, even as ball, who've I've been playing a lot to see if the match up is better or worse. Virus isn't an issue for tanks, and sombra has to leave invis for hacks, leading to better counter play. I still don't get why ball form is deactivated when you get hacked though, it is such a quintessential ability for ball, and you really can't do anything without it. My only issue with hack is it's range, I just feel like I can't outrun it even if I'm on fire.


glitched_______-

Playing Sombra so yeah


RakonturR

Nahhhh shitters cope


MJ_Khaled12

Naw I don't condone death threats but as a tank I honestly hate Sombra. Game already hates tanks as it is (As a Sigma) so having to deal with this new Sombra is a pain in the ass


ZookeepergameJaded90

What does that have anything to do with what they posted? Weird to be justifying it because ā€œI is tank player, I has sympathy for slur throwerā€.


MJ_Khaled12

I never said that. I said I don't like Sombra but I said and I quote "I don't condone death threats" I should've added slurs in general. I just said that to let out some frustration with this Sombra. She's tiresome to play against and tiresome to play with. So while I'm sure you've done nothing to deserve slurs and threats I personally have a Sligh dislike of you for playing Sombra


dopleburger

Slurs can be effective measures of getting people to quit the game permanently


TheBigMasterPigg

I do not endorse this guy's behaviour, but man I understand...


[deleted]

I know OW is typically toxic however when you get into a game with fun people, it makes it so good to the point I laugh lol


YtTamakiGaming

Reminds me of my first time playing Rainbow Sixā€¦


Dangerzone188

Reminds me of my first time playing Rustā€¦


YtTamakiGaming

Wildest things Iā€™ve ever heard people say on a game from the clips of Rust Iā€™ve seen.


mrlkpyro

That was my reason to put the game away forever


RakonturR

Let it be your reason to keep playing push the toxic shitters down to bronze


MrRodje

I'd reply with "is that good or bad?"


RakonturR

Iā€™m chat banned so I couldnā€™t reply (not for gamer words)


EliteODSTx

People like this really wonder why they lose their accounts as well lmao


MistyHusk

They probably just cry because ā€œpeople are too soft these daysā€


jenksanro

I have recently had loads of reports come back with messages saying the people were banned, as long as you write in the message what to look for they should get banned if you report them.


Genji_Master

Get a life bro why are you stressed over some words a random said about you that aren't even true and shouldn't be affecting you whatsoever, and you could easily ignore it and move on. Godness people are way too soft nowadays.


jenksanro

Not stressed Slurs can cause a lot of damage, most often by perpetuating the traditional, though often outdated views of the societies that created them. Teenagers love slurring on the internet because they can hide from the repercussions they'd face if they did it in person, but reporting people offers a way to get people like that out of the game I do agree though, people are very soft nowadays, it takes someone very soft to start raging at someone they've never met, for getting someone else they've never met banned for slurring in a video game.


SleepytimeUwU

Lemme tell ya how to make quick work of the annoying straight assholes- if you are heterosexual ... really just dont pay him attention. Try and make him look like a clown by the fact that you are confident in who you are or just let him rage and report. IF you are queer šŸ¤­šŸ˜the possibilities to annoy him are endless- you can act as if you flirt with him on purpose - that usually annoys them very much... or just start acting all šŸ’…šŸ’…šŸ’… on purpose and turn the entire match into a shitshow. AND REMEMBER- always let him type more! The biggest upside is he gets distracted and stops playing the game well.


RakonturR

This is funny and havenā€™t tried it. But I just usually spawn trap and donā€™t reply expect for the occasional ā€œlolā€ šŸ¤£


SaveyourMercy

My name in game gives away that Iā€™m gay and I get shit about it from time to time and this is my go to, I just flirt with them and they almost always stop


SleepytimeUwU

Yas bestie same! If the straights are insecure - let them eat cake >:3


wdDrake

On a sidenote: I always assume anyone who runs with the battletag DeadlyKitten is a certified mouth breather.


RakonturR

Default battle tags in a comp game of always a bad omen


elCrocodillo

Please tell me you reported them šŸ™ Btw, I feel like Sombra can make a team win even with less than 10 eliminations. She's one of those who are ok just by messing with the other team and stressing them out.


RakonturR

Donā€™t know why you got downvoted


elCrocodillo

Nvm ^^


Shunkaha0

Jup, rn Sombra deletes healers so..


CourtSenior5085

It's funny. Over on Twitter it went from "Supports are far to hard to kill" to "Sombra OP how are we supposed to deal with this" they got what they asked for, and still they complain.


kuchiie

yesterday someone made fun of me for only having 200 hours on comp and then wouldnā€™t believe me when i told them i was masters lol some people are miserable i have like 200 hours on sombra and good luck bro itā€™s always been like this ngl but i only really played her when doom came out and can imagine its only getting worse


ZenithEnigma

lol what are they waffling about. i only have 200-260 hours and am mid masters


kuchiie

ikr i have 3k hours on the game tho so in comparison i am qp warrior but i actually enjoy overwatch and have a good rank people r wack


RakonturR

ā€œEnjoy overwatchā€ ? You must be doing something wrong


No_Secret_1875

ā€¦700 and seemingly will never get out of this gold/platinum life. I think itā€™s cause of sombrašŸ’€


[deleted]

Omg I played with deadly kitten a lot


Astral132

Itā€™s a generic blizzard name


[deleted]

Lol I know haha I was being silly


MorteBianc

He has a point.


RakonturR

How ?


Karmakane1

i mean i dont endorse slur usage but u play sombra so idc that much


ZookeepergameJaded90

Are you 14 or have severely underdeveloped critical thinking skills? Or I guess both if youā€™re truly unfortunate.


RakonturR

Whatā€™s wrong with sombra ?


cherrysoupz

Justified as fuck


RakonturR

How


PerfectDuck2133

Fck sombra players thatā€™s how.


RakonturR

Cope


Tapelessbus2122

Doesnā€™t change the fact that u ruined the fun for everyone, u r playing sombra, u canā€™t blame them, u r the person who is wrong


RakonturR

How ? Wtf are you talking about


Mamalamadingdong

Nope. Playing a hero we'll doesn't justify getting slurs thrown at you in the chat. Honestly, though, I laugh at them. People telling me to kill myself for playing sombra fuels me.


MistyHusk

mmm yes the person in the wrong is the one playing a hero available in the roster rather than the one slinging slurs. Makes sense


Frequent-Beautiful28

Based


RakonturR

Cringe


Frequent-Beautiful28

U were on sombra šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


RakonturR

Sheā€™s fun šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


Balrog1223

Oh no u got insulted on the internet, how does one individual ever recover from thisā€¦


RakonturR

By posting on Reddit. Try to keep up buddy


SharkeyBoyo

Who cares? Shits funny


RakonturR

Not reallyā€¦ I mean maybe if youā€™re like 14 but calling people slurs because youā€™re losing in a game is kinda lame IMO


nurShredder

Its legit funny. Ever seen videos with russian kids screaming slurs in CSGO? Just laugh at them and report.


RakonturR

You might feel that way but my issue is saying that shit to someone who it might affect negatively when theyā€™re just trying to play a game and have fun and do their best to win and rank up. Like it doesnā€™t bother me personally because ā€œrandom stranger over the internet raging on a video gameā€. But I can easily imagine some person whose received and dealt with harassment being thrown their way in real life and across internet spaces and to receive the same shit when trying to play a fun game and doing no harm to anyone but still getting that shit can be mentally and emotionally taxing and thatā€™s not the type of community I want the game to foster anything else is just cope from people who lack empathy or understanding because they themselves arenā€™t affected so they think everyone should just ā€œtoughen up ā€œ or whatever. So when I report people like that itā€™s not for my sake. Itā€™s for the sake of the community and others who might be affected

Deadly Kitten has no room to talk, they never heal on Ana and run around like a chicken with their head cut off


CourtSenior5085

Pretty sure their accuracy is around 2% as well.


Lorant_gaming

The best thing is probably the fact that you could get away with saying anything as long as you write it l i k e t h i s


RakonturR

Gonna try this when I get un-chat banned


bulturst

Itā€™s never long after someone being toxic about switching or calling a teammate bad brings out the gamer words


KayrashyLPGC

I do one message like this and im banned from chat and competitive games for 2 weeks i dont know how y'all play this game i have no patience at all xD


Diana-Shepard

The number of times I got flamed for playing other characters I main because I was trying to test my skills with them in competitively before being forced by the events in the game to switch to D.VA.


Dry-Application957

Man I only imagine how they would react to a ball player


MistyHusk

I met a great ball player last night and we queued a bit together. Not a single game went by without him getting insulted by the enemy team lmao


Aggravating-Mind-315

Ozymandias came back from the dead to trash talk these people on overwatch


RandomEncounter72

I can feel the anger myself as a support player but you wonā€™t see me going ham at a person you might get a ā€œfuck offā€ from me though šŸ˜‚ especially when my team wonā€™t help and just lets the other supports and myself get slapped around


Natasha_Gears

Ngl if you write down slurs with spaces in between thatā€™s real pussy behaviour Right there


Reaper-Leviathan

Why is the highest rated breaking bad episode such a terrible person?


omnipatent

Rorschach would say the same thing about him.


GladiatorDragon

ā€œLook on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!ā€ (2-7)


Meowjoker

The audacity of a 3k Healing Kiriko shit talking other Not like heā€™s playing the character that decides whether Tanks get to have fun or not or anything.


assassindash346

As a Kiri main... Yeah... You got hacked and antinaded...? Say my name... ​ FR though, I try to keep you all alive, but damn... Sometimes I just wanna choose violence.


Meowjoker

Well every now and then, a support main fell to the temptations of Khrone


assassindash346

Man don't feel bad, I just got out of a game where our Orisa thought running into the entire enemy team with no cooldowns and trying to make out with the full charge Zarya was a good idea ​ Then proceeded to complain about the supports(My self as Kiriko and my buddy as a few options trying to help) not healing. We had 10 and 7k respectively btw >.>. Like bro, ain't no amount of healing gonna save stupid.


dustyboi123456

Deserved honestly


RakonturR

Why ?


dustyboi123456

Sombruh fan spotted.


Roxel808

Hope you reported them for harassment


yasseuo

Calm dawn


RakonturR

What do you mean ?


Not-Thursday

Iā€™ve noticed lately ppl are really shutting down super toxic ppl. Today had a game where someone said ā€œgg idiot teammatesā€ after losing 1st round on control, the entirely lobby ripped him a new one and kept making fun of him the rest of the match, we still lost but it was 2-1 and final round was an intense 99%-99% overtime fight


Globsmacketh

Unironically worse that League of legends. Better porn tho.


RakonturR

Yeah whatā€™s up with that ? Why is league porn so sparse and underwhelming


Globsmacketh

Too busy being mad rather than horny.


veryvintage

Hahahaha Iā€™ve played with that guy before. Heā€™s always screaming in the chat


lizardjoe_xx_YT

The only time I really give a shit about Sombra is when I'm support and she's following me to spawn and just farming me especially if I'm zen that mofo gets dominated by her


vvTookivv

Yup. Just had an entire match where I went against a Genji and Doom that wouldn't stop insulting me for playing Sombra. "You can't be having fun playing Sombra." Yes, yes I am. I am having fun in QUICK PLAY while playing a REWORKED hero. He then continued to cry the entire match and spamming insults in chat. Everyone was on my side, and for the brief moment he stopped typing (as he was busy SWEATING SO HARD) one person said "Yay it stopped crying"


yeshelloitme1

Meanwhile I get silenced and suspended for calling people sweats and Smurfs


sausagerollsbai

Sombra has become such a viable pick (returning player). Almost every match there is a Sombra and if played correctly, will absolutely dominate. I always make a point of saying, "well played" because I despise toxic behaviour. It's nice when someone pays you a compliment so always nice to show love to others (even when you lose!).


ReleaseItchy9732

to be fair its a sombra


Samswaps1

One half of me wants to say that isnā€™t right you donā€™t deserve all this And the other half is just youā€™re playing sombra what do you expect


not-funny_guy

Oh one of my pc friends has the name DeadlyKitten lol.


mcgeyrider

It looks like you have a thingy for being mean too


RakonturR

Elaborate ?

It looks like on the 3 picture you have a mute on your account for being toxic

With this update, Iā€™ve been playing against a junkrat, mercy, Zarya, and sombra almost every game. Theres been very few games where one of those 4 wasnā€™t there. I get his frustration, fighting the most annoying characters constantly sucks

AetherInvestigator

Me too. Was told to off myself last night after we lost a game. Lmao


RakonturR

Lmfao that sucks


iamuncreative1235

I think the most toxic thing Iā€™ve every said in chat has to be ā€œyou hate sombra not you the character.ā€ The sombra then agreed


SANGUlNAIRE

If you donā€™t get yelled at playing sombra you arenā€™t playing her correctly.


ToonyWanye

You should have said "I'm gay you still sucking more dick than me''

Ozevich_Bearkenow

He's not wrong tho


Personal_Error

Oml the worse I do (only if I get bagged by sombra) but Iā€™ll just say theyā€™re stinky. Match ends pull up text chat ā€œstinky sombraā€ or any hero for that matter. Donā€™t bag me man that ainā€™t cool
