Sombra doesn't really shine till you get into GM...maybe Masters. There just isn't enough teamwork at the lower Elo's that will capitalize on EMP's.
The most well known Sombra main on ladder.

Agree with Araxen, if you aren't at least Masters, Sombra is a throw pick more often than not no matter how good of a Sombra you are. An entire team needs to play around and with her, and you just aren't going to get that at lower ranks.

Yeah I hear ya guys it's just the only toon I'm actually good with. Tried my hand at competitive and I got gold damage and elims in 3 of them and still feel useless. Got blamed in one for not hacking bastion enough but he was pocketed with an Ana and I couldn't 1v2 both of them. No one rushed the hack.

I don't know what your rank is but one of the dynamics that occur with deep field DPS like tracer sombra is that you end up killing the least impactful people and the real dangers are ripping your team up while you kill widow,ana, zen for the 7th time. At higher ranks this would be very effective as the game becomes much more about key picks. At the rank most people are at however, it's a lot more important to find that high impact player and take them on. Your stats may suck more but you'll find yourself winning by taking on the biggest threat instead of the smallest. This problem is so common but rarely understood, "I'm kicking ass and my team still loses" simply means you were killing the wrong person. It's natural for us when we get an easy pick to then continue to go after that easy kill, when what you should be doing is fighting the best player on their team not the worst.

I float between bronze and silver. My main priority targets are the tanks for hacks. Really concentrate on shield tanks then after that reaper and hacking pharah out of the sky. Problem is at low levels torbjorn, widow, and bastion just rip the team apart on I end up concentrating on them. I'm sure I'm putting myself in a lose lose situation.

You really need to learn another hero or two. You'll always be floating between Bronze/Silver as Sombra. Play some Mystery Heroes. It'll force you on to some other heroes you wouldn't have likely played before. I was pretty close to dropping down to bronze a few seasons back because I was always filling in and playing Tanks(mostly Orisa) or Mercy. I found that I'm kind of ok at Zenyatta via Mystery Heroes and got back into gold maining him for a season. I did do some practicing against some bots in a Aim Practice custom game that I have saved to help me get a little more accurate with his orbs. It helped a lot to do that practicing with him.
I've moved on to Mei now, and I feel if I played Comp enough I could get into high gold with her. I've done a ton of practice trying to get better with her especially placing walls quickly. Some heroes you are just going to have to do some outside practice via custom games. I think there are workshop modes now for some heroes to help you practice.

Meh... the PVE shit is so boring in OW1, and all it is going to do is delay OW2 even more because Blizzard is so slow at releasing shit.
My bet is that what Overwatch 2 is actually going to be is Overwatch patch 2.0. I find it hard to believe they are sinking resources into Overwatch 1 like the replay and workshop systems when they are also working on a direct sequel. There really isn't a direct sequel just a very major patch to the original Overwatch.
