Talk:Sombra VS. Skye/@comment-31448850-20170305000002

Bad result with very obvious bias in the announcer meta, presentation, and finale with very little research done on the Paladins side of things. Skye is not OP-- until patches in the last few weeks, she was the lowest-tier character in the game. Currently, she's just BARELY a mid-tier and a one-time pick on the professional circuit.

(And the last match was Tracer vs. Ying?  Srsly?  Are we going to get Lucio vs Ruckus next?)

Sombra would be able to hack the tech aspects of Skye's kit (her crossbow and ult) but like every character in Paladins, her abilities are derived from magic sources and very basic, non-hackable chemically-based things like smoke pellets and knives. If Sombra can hack low-tech items and magic, that would mean she could essentially very easily stealth assassinate the entire roster of Overwatch and Paladins without breaking a sweat.

Assuming her age is also a negative in the column-- she could have decades of years under her belt, as elves in Paladins thusfar have been described (via Torvald) to be closer to the traditional long-lived species in fantasy lore. If this were Sombra vs TF2 Spy, I would give it to Sombra immediately, but against Skye, Sombra would be writhing in agony on the floor via death from a thousand needles. And poison. Lots of poison. And throwing knives.
