Nuh uh
rip ill delete the video in the morning, my bad i didnt think anyone could have such a strong argument i lost gg :/
Fitzyhere, is that you?
I was just saying how questron has helped me get better with translocater
fym nuh uh
FYM Nuh-Uh
I can't help but notice that you hacked a mercy and have failed the challenge as a result.
I- 💀
What’re you doing here Jay
luv your movement vids btw
best comment of the year fr
I finally realized what you meant after being 20 minutes into the video 😭
@@prodbyyonyon I used to play OW as a Sombra main, still play sometimes when I'm exceptionally board.
Edit: I knew board looked weird, but I was in a rush to leave and I couldn't figure out why 🙃
Absolutely no doubt in my mind you’re going to become mainstream! The videos, editing, explanation literally everything is amazing!
i been doing this for 3 and a half years now, if i was gonna be mainstream i feel like it would've already happened-- but id love to be proven wrong cause this stuff is my JAM
@@Questron01well please never ever stop in the beginning I watched your content to get better at sombra now it’s because I genuinely love your content.
@@Questron01 Hey, you never know when you’ll get blessed by algorithms lol
I personally just got your video in my recommendations and instantly subbed!
Every video Questron posts I get closer and closer to an Sombra main. With posts of a couple more of his videos the Blood Moon will rise. That is when I know it is time.
if you're in the pipeline i am sorry to inform you, there's no way out. you will be playing sombra.
@@Questron01 yes sir all mighty Questron
Your energy is contagious! Please keep making these, they're incredibly helpful and fun 🥰
i had another comment tell me that i was yelling too much oh god who to believe
@@Questron01 me 😌
i love democracy
agree.
I genuinely think Questron is the only person who actually figured out how to play somber right
you can be the second one to do so
Lol keep thinking that buddy
@@lucas411_ I will, thanks
The Glazelord himself
There's these guys named Cody, and Fitzyhere who would probably would disagree with that statement.
“My supports don’t heal me in lower ranks” I can say this is also an effect of the health pack sombra game style, people are too used to it supports will just think you are about to dip out anyways
the only way i can ever hope to change that perception is by brute force propaganda.
press X, that helps most of the time (or whatever button you have "i need healing" bound to)
As someone whos relatively new to Overwatch (Only played for like 1-2 months). Ive been wanting to main Sombra for a while, however, the "throw the translocator at a health-pack" play style never really stuck with me.
After seeing this video, I was a little skeptical as I've never seen a sombra played like this, but after trying it for myself, I must say this play style is *wayyy* more fun! I cant believe I never thought of it. Great video!
SPREAD THE WORD, PEPPERMINT ALLIANCE SHALL GROW
Always considered Sombra to be a cool silly little character, but not the one for me. After this vid i picked up Sombra, played a couple of games basically without healthpack runs at all, and oh god, i didn't have that much fun with a DPS character since when i only started playing the game. Thanks for opening eyes to the entire OW community. And your editing is top tier. Glad that i discovered you
Propaganda worked yet again. WE GOT ANOTHER ONE, LADS
This was a VERY cool video Mr. Ron, I especially liked the epic montages (I love a rare Ron montage) also the music was super cool! I'm looking forward for part 2!
glad to see this video performing well, you really deserve it 😭 the editing was great and helped visualize concepts alot.
i can see how W ur sombra is and ur effort and editting is inspiring. ur so entertaining and ate this UP
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
it's so interesting seeing the different thought processes between u and Fitzy, and it's fun watching u both!
Something I noticed, I was playing mystery heroes with friends right after going through Awkward's Tracer u2gm, and his advice really applies almost 1-to-1 with Sombra. Offangle, uptime, isolated targets. Not throwing your tp to a far away healthpack lets you keep that whole strategy up faaaar more, and getting way more value.
Ye, they do occupy a similar niche. Lots of Widowmaker tips apply to Ashe in the same way
although mystery heroes is like the one mode where hacking a health pack is super advantageous since you never know when your team or the enemy team will have a support or not so playing around health packs is a must lmao
I seriously thought that your videos wouldn't get any better in terms of editing but you have PROVEN ME WRONG!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE EDITING!!!
i try :D
I'm not playing Sombra wrong! Because you taught me how Questron! ❤
THE PROPAGANDA IS WORKING, THE NATIONAL SOMBRA WINRATE IS INCREASING !
@@Questron01which means nerf incoming :)
@@sirfrancisgaming9438 well, the idea of timer on the translocator wont be a big nerf playing this way, sure some situations its gonna be annoying but its gonna be much worse when using the translocator for healthpack runs
@@BobOrKlaus What? I'm saying if the national Sombra win rate goes up, Sombra will get nerfed, because that's how blizzard does nerfs, purely from statistics.
I'm not playing sombra wrong because I don't play this trash character
Listen,
The Sombra nodding up and down was hilarious every time and you need to keep doing it
honestly i think that might just be a brand-wide thing from now on, it really do look nice
Must be nice to have healers as a sombra player.
12:45 story of my Sombra life. %90 of my games.
i explicitly put that in the video to show that yes, i understand that sometimes you don't get healed. But that doesn't take away from the fact that that means you should be more independent. Sometimes letting out a deep sigh in frustration after dying is just better than fundimentally being more inefficient as a player.
Ques, this video is amazing you did a massive work on it! Thank you so much for that, and also for your streams
The way you teach and keep the video hype like a montage at the same time is intoxicating 😂 amazing video!!!
Your pacing and editing are absolutely top-tier. I haven't seen anyone else provide entertaining explanations like this.
Simple things like repeatedly swiping the ult charge across the screen or zooming out to just let us see the fun of the sombra play
This was so damn helpful! I’ve been trying to figure out why I always fumble around while playing as Sombra. I just kept getting mad because I would do the hack and run away thing and camp by health packs and die immediately. I will definitely be using these tips next time I get on, thank you so much!!! Keep up the good work💕
Also you are absolutely amazing at playing Sombra holy hell🤯
Climbed from gold to Diamond maining Sombra after starting to watch your vids couple months ago.. you the goat
IF YOU'RE STILL CLIMBING THEN DONT STOP AT DIAMOND, THE SKY IS NO LIMIT TO SOMBRA PLAYERS
To be honest I already had the mentality of not teleporting across the map to save my k/d, but ngl, these videos along with the thinking out loud really solidifies tactics and hard facts to improve gameplay. Much preferred over regular "guides"! Love your work, the all-nighters are worth it!
This is one of the best edited videos I have ever seen holy moly. I can’t even imagine how much time this took.
Thanks Questron ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! :D took me 2 weeks with 2 all-nighters since i wanted this out before the mid-season patch
You earned a subscriber! I loved the video style & the little edits! Very well put & kept my attention. 🎉
the russel m nelson quote was so sudden i am CACKLING LMFAO
I was told he was some religious dude, should've probably looked him up beforehand
18:53 the most beautifull scene in the video. That cnematography, that movement, Sombra having "sombra" in all his body so she looks like a goddess TwT❤ awesome video, budd. I love you and im learning thanks to you how to main Sombra in a way like this.
Tried this literally today and its so fun. More then ive ever had on sombra. had some massive plays but alot to learn yet love ya questron :)
Love that you use Quacamelee music at 8:00. Fantastic game. If anyone wants a fun couch-cop/co-op game to play I HIGHLY recommend it. Stunning visuals, great music, fun puzzles, satisfying combat with good mechanics and combo capabilities, and HILARIOUS writing
YES
@@Questron01 PS. Excellent video! Great mix of comedy, music, pacing, and editing. Great tips as someone wanting to learn sombra too. Keep at it! 🙏
@chillociraptor5007 fear not, reddit doesnt like the way i phrased the title in a way where anyone could ever care about what i have to say so i guess i have to retire 💔😔
This was the most helpful and most organized adviced for a character
I literally only play QP and picked up Sombra after watching your vids, and the time I save by not hacking medkits is fuckin insane, bad heals are bad heals but i can at least not be mia every team fight. That argument makes no sense
also shout outs to ur editor for the banging vgm picks
yes shout out to me, i made this video this time heehee-- my editor isn't the sombra guru person so i chose to make this one on my own to make sure i said what i wanted to say in the way i wanted to have it be said :]
@@Questron01 Well then shoutouts to you for having good taste in music and teching me abt bungee jumping
and also stoking a fire to replay gucamelee.
Triple E: Educational, entertaining and super well edited
E E Swe
Honestly top tier video, I used to main sombra like this back in the day, when hacking health packs was a thing, I later transitioned into support with ma boi Zen, and havent really wanted to play DPS with Sombra until this video popped up 10/10 work and fantastic explanation
banger vid as always, the editing keeps getting better and better
This video was an absolute cinematic masterpiece and I could marry you simply for your sombra skills. I was literally entranced
The editing in this video is bloody brilliant! Great job dude!
i like the lil dancey dance the healthpacks do in the replay viewer
they be bobbing up and down like minecraft items
Such fantastic editing, each game had a unique editing focus it felt. You always make this game seem so fun. Sombra is certainly more fun when you're actively participating. :D
Do you think it can be worthwhile to hack the occasional key health pack if the enemy is running something like Ball? Of course I don't mean putting translocator on the health pack, though.
Thank you I tried editing it in a way where if you rewatch the video you can notice the theme of every editing segment leading up to where I have a scripted segment :>
The main takeaway of the video should be that hacking healthpacks at this point has turned into a gimmick for Sombra-- you can totally have an active reason to do so though. It's all about weighing the pros and cons of having to cover your bases for what could happen in a match. Healthpacks only deny the enemy team value if they at any point try grabbing it for example-- otherwise it's wasted time
This video was Epic. Explanative, Functional, all in a 22min package, with music that is on point and ABSOLUTELY FIRE, Omg. Too Busy Winning, baby!
A+++ editing and great information, gonna have to practice some Sombra because this seems incredibly fun
Have fun!
Bro amazing content love to see you still grinding ❤😍
that last clip of that sombra player really opened my eyes, wow.
Nice video btw 🫂
These video are so entertaining to watch! So much effort does not go unnoticed :D
:D
A blizzard dev definitely watched this video and was like "yeh- this is it right here- THIS is Sombra" and boom- here we are🙏
I love overwatch players that break the mold on so called "only way" to play a character.
As usual more fire from Questron! You’ve helped my play a ton
LETS GOOOOO
Crazy educational, entertaining and inspiring. Let's go King 🤴
Well you handsome Questron you did it. Since the moment I saw Sombra ''playstile'' I always thought of it as annoying, toxic and a pain to play with and against. Still do. But after watching the way you manage the character, i can say that you genially make me gave this character a chance. It is like something just ''click'' while watching you zoom in and out without running away like a coward and actually sticking to your team. Getting those kills and value from your technical skills and knowledge from the game and mechanics. Love your content.
i will literally frame this comment on a wall, i won. ggs. you will experience true joy in overwatch henceforth.
Im so happy i came across some of the tips here on my own
I barely ever pay attention to health packs to the point i lose track of how long ive hacked one 💀
Editor deserves a raise. Also, I didn't mind the "Guide-y" part of the vid. I love Sombra and finding new ways to play her refreshes her as a character.
It was me this time, I was the editor!
as someone who's trying pretty hard to get good as Sombra this video helped me a lot!! thanks man ill try this playstyle in the next games i play :D
found you from reddit man just wanted to know you just taught me how to play sombra in a completly different way! i was stuck in ow1 now im playing her properly i believe
LETS GOOOOOOOO
The Knockout City music is super awesome. I loved that game.
Good video
the game might be gone but the soundtrack is forever
That was suppper informative! I think it'd be really cool to see you play a game or two placing your translocator on health packs to show the contrast. Anyways great vid!
not me coming here to learn sombra tricks and ending up crying when the ko city theme played. i miss balling up so hard man
Lmao bro that knockout city music was sick
Not even joking just a day or two before this video, I started playing this way and I've noticed a distinct improvement in my games as Sombra. Love you Questron
I gotchu, we peppermint crew roll like that
this is some exceptional editing nice job
:D
Definitely a lot to think about. I think you showed how it is definitely in your interest as a sombra player to explore more options. That being said health pack running is probably at worst a break even play in most scenarios. A mixture of both is definitely optimal.
well yeah but im not gonna convince anyone of the possibility by taking the middleground on this topic if im on my own :x
a mix of both is definitely the best play for sure
@@Questron01ofcofc, great video dude. Also helps having amazing tracking man, I probably hit half as many bullets playing sombra 😂
Your editing is so good!!!
Thank you so much!!
I believe Fitzy was saying something along this line all the way back in 2018. "Put your tl on a highground, as close to a fight as possible, first. Only if that isn't an option, then you put it on a healthpack".
hah i wish, nah fity directly told me i give bad advice lmao
@@Questron01 ow... Sad then. I tried your approach today - never usually camp healthpacks but never use tl proactively either. And what do you know, i killed 1.5 more people than dpses in my gold lobby then backcapped the payload in the last five seconds xD Definitely had much more fun than usual.
I was a Sombra enthusiast, and then, I found your channel. Now I'm still a Sombra enthusiast, but I love your content and personality.
WELCOME ABOARD :D
Hahah you quoted the president of my church. Lds church. Subscribed
Actually one of my favorite vids from questron
HOORAY
Amazing great work, I tried what you showed in the video and made playing sombra much much better in terms of fun and being useful like actual player
with the cherry of being the POTG, thank you.
god i love being a positive change in peoples life, thats the stuff i live for even if it is just a character in a videogame
Much love to the video and editing! ❤
:D i only had to pull 2 all-nighters!
I've learned so much from this man
THERE'S STILL SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN-- DID YOU KNOW THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE BORN ON THEIR BIRTHDAY???
@@Questron01 WHAT, how is that possible? i thought this was a rarity
@Questron01 woah really? That's amazing
I feel like a possible consept (depends on how the match is being played) is that if there is nobody around fighting around the objective, you could hack the hp packs since your hack would be back before they get to said objective and it could cut off them from any possible collection of extra health early fight
yeah but that's an exception to what I'm talking about, so you're not wrong-- but that doesn't change what I say
Did you make a new overlay to do the “speed run” sequences live on stream without your face cam or did you record footage from the replay system? Genuine question I just love how you structure your content! It’s inspired me a lot
Since I have a 2pc setup all I did was just open the capture card software and made my gaming pc send it's desktop audio to it and hit record while I was live
Alright, banger music selection. Great editing. *Chefs kiss*
What is the music at 12:41?
Thumps up for that godlike editing
thank u max i worked hard on this one
I love your videos. Super fun and informative. I'm a Pharah main but play Sombra when I'm dicking around and rarely hack health packs bc I'm too lazy to leave the fight too long, so I'm glad I'm accidentally playing right. def gonna play her some more.
i would love to see a video of fitzy and questron discussing the pros and cons of their sombra playstyles
They wonder why no one’s on coms anymore in OW2, they literally do not let you use it until you completely like 20 games
Thanks for making this video, Very interesting thoughts
Love the video, love the Guacamelee theme
DUDE IT GOES SO HARD MAN
I vaguely remember seeing this idea in another video. I do see the merits of the playstyle this encourages. I would guess people think that the cooldown of her translocator is well suited to the heath pack camping style and the speed boost on cloak makes returning to the fight quicker, and the loss aversion makes people play more defensively when it can lead to very few actual deaths in a match. I would think that if you want to hack a health pack, it should be one that is near the enemy team, not for yourself to use it (though that can be a perk if your fight takes place right next to it) but to keep the enemy from getting health at a critical moment as you whittle them down over time. I don't see much reason to actively avoid hacking a health pack when you are 4 seconds or more away from a fight, but placing the translocator on it cuts your uptime down so much. Placing it on nearby high ground is so much more impactful.
I thought the same about Sym's older teleporter, back when it had an infinite duration. Syms would just put the entrance by spawn and the exit some 30 meters closer to the point, so the team can trickle in all the faster. It was boring and unimpactful. Using it to get free high ground for you and your team or cut past chokepoints and sightlines was so much better, but even now I see syn's use it to get themselves (and teammates at the start of a round) a little closer to the fight when spawning in and never thinking to use it again. Use the ability to stay in the fight longer, not just when there is no fight nearby.
When I saw the wall of text I thought to myself "ah hell here we go" but no this is all very based and you are very cool
@@Questron01 @justinh1254 Same, thank god its an actually thought out opinion. Good take!
W video. Changed my mind on a lot. I used to use the old fitzy way of playing sombra from OW1, but now im changing to this. Appreciate the vid. Got a like from me!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Really appreciate the effort you put into your content
:D
Didn't expect the current prophet of the Mormon faith to get quoted on a sombra video
great video! i love the editing style thru the whole thing!! do you think you'll ever release any more tutorials in the future?
league player
The Knockout City theme song got me right in the feels. 5:49 🦾😿
ive had it in my playlist for ages, i miss the game man it was so funky
Loved every second!!!
Another banger video!
Gonna play sombra more, this vid is really helpful
Questron leads the Sombra mafia!
surely i am the most qualified, i mean there wouldnt be anyone more mature than me with a higher follow count and overal reach-- someone like that, maybe calling themselves Fitz-related of somekind. surely.
Love how you just played the Guacameelee theme
Did not expect to see the president of the Mormon church Russel Nelson in this video💀💀
Everyone: "Widowmaker is too oppressive, please nerf"
Questron: *casually playing sombra in high elo* Giggling
these fools are so preoccupied with widow and hanzo that i run free in the grassy fields of domination
@@Questron01 cracked way too cracked
I usually try to avoid using health packs because I want to keep my support ult charge up, but using the translocator next to the fight is something I haven’t done. I just throw it out of the fight but still kind of close
My biggest pet peeve is when sombra players hack several health packs and spend every tp hacking all of their health packs before getting back into the fight for 2 seconds
Good to know someone else also plays like me. It's mote funnier just tp around them over and over again when they think you just leaving but you're behind their back. Sadly at the same time i rarely getting healed :D
Ever sense I saw the first video, I’ve been trying to figure out how to play aggressive with translocator instead of making it collect dust on a health pack. So thanks question for being helpful
I GOTCHU
Top tier editing yet again
thank u i tried
finally a good sombra guide
While as a Sombra main I agree with the sentiment here that a lot of Sombra players are way too passive, I also can't help but feel like rank did play at least a partial role in some of these instances. For example, the first clip of going in on the Ana after the Doomfist leaves, no nade, no sleepdart, nothing, just pure panic and dead. Now maybe they were both on cooldown, maybe you were even keeping track outside the scope of the clip, but the fact that it's used as an "example" so to speak means I can't in good faith just ignore that without pointing out that what normally happens in those scenarios is getting the Ana low only to have them self-nade and/or sleep dart and force you out because Sombra's DPS is still DOGSHIT without constant headshots. Another example would be the Mercy on Circuit Royal, multiple times I saw you go in on one of her teammates and obliterate their dome and they'd never get a shred of healing despite Mercy being right there. Instead she was busy damage boosting a Sig who wasn't even fighting yet. These kinds of instances are what makes this playstyle a little unrealistic in practicality most of the time, because again, if someone actually does receive virtually any amount of healing odds are you lose that DPS contest unless they just miss everything.
At the end of the day, the problem is that Blizzard keeps nerfing not just the healthpacks but EVERYTHING about Sombra on repeat basically any time she gets even a lick of viability. Winning duels really has become a matter of needing your target completely isolated, not at all supported by their team, getting the jump on them, and in many cases needing them to perform poorly or for yourself to perform FLAWLESSLY just to scrape 1 kill out and I think that's the primary driving force for why everyone gets stuck in the healthpack loop, because Blizzard doesn't want her to be able to do anything without requiring triple the effort (or luck) for the same payoff. Like obviously your tracking is really good and that makes a huge difference in fights, but for exactly that reason it would probably be easier and just as beneficial to the team to put that tracking on something like Soldier, Ashe, etc.
Now all that negativity aside, I think you could take this aggressive Sombra idea one step further and adapt it into a hybrid playstyle that utilizes both ideas by taking advantage of the background cooldown for translocator where hacking the healthpack and having the translocator on it IS still the default, but it is just that, default, and then being much more aware of your situation and adapting your placement as the fight evolves so you have a safety net if you get immediately caught in a bad situation but if you see an opportunity to be aggressive with it, you can then pop your translocator and immediately have it back up to use in-fight since the cooldown should already have passed unless you're getting into the fight again within 5s of moving to the healthpack, at which point the issue of not being in the fight to go to it becomes mostly null. It would be another layer of micromanagement mid-fight but with a good enough muscle memory to be conscious of when you have a translocator out already and popping it before you try to throw a new one it could really expand your options even more just like you were saying.
That's a lot of words, but the whole point of this is that what I say applies to all ranks-- I play like this on main. Doing this removes the excuse that I can only play like this in high ranks because I get to trust my supports or something. This is the closest I can get to proving that that's a wrong take. Watch any of my other videos where I still play like this in top 100 lobbies
@@Questron01 I know, I'm not trying to discredit your skill or even say that playing like this can't work in higher ranks, I'm just saying those particular clips more showcased a lack of awareness on the supports that probably could've countered those specific instances. I don't know if you read the rest but I did also make a suggestion on how to take the idea further.
stop telling everyone the secrets everyone is going to be good at sombra now
great video loved the pacing and editing amazing work
i held it for 4 years, but the sombra rework is coming soon so i mean might as well cash out with the knowlege and be famous
@@Questron01 fair enough cant wait for that rework in overwatch 3
I've recently gotten back into the game (from OW1)
> wanted to gives my thanks to this video: I was previously one who didn't get to play Damage Characters often, so this helps me in practicing one of the two I wanna work on now (so I can flex, with at least Two options per Class)
Great video you can see all the work put in
health packs are cringe is what they are.
health packs are things that heal you i think, not too sure tho so i could be wrong, best not to try out in case they deal damage :)
