Sombra in Action! Jett Plays Overwatch

D.Va is forever my Overwatch bae, but I’m continuing to expand my horizons to see what works for me from a gameplay perspective! This time, I put an extended period of time into Sombra! I like her rapid-fire sub-machine gun, as well as the way she can undermine her opponents’ tactics with her hacking ability!

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Impressions

Can you all keep your cool under pressure and solve each ticking time bomb before they blow up in your face?
