Say Sombra had gotten as much screentime as Chrysalis. You'd still hate him then?

Look at it this way. He couldn't do anything where he was. He likely couldn't cross Cadance's barrier without being completely destroyed, look what it did to his horn. If given the chance, he could have done some real damage. The thing is, unlike his predecessors he doesn't screw around, he'd have killed the Mane 6 if given the chance. He set all those traps that no pony could get by on their own, and some of them no non-unicorn could have gotten past. If it wasn't for Spike, Cadance would never have gotten the Crystal Heart, and if it wasn't for Cadance, Sombra would have impaled Spike. He's darker and more menacing than Chrysalis and his scenes are equally epic as hers. He couldn't have much opportunity to do anything or else he'd have done damage too dark for this show. And probably did so offscreen, as he most likely killed the previous ruler of the empire when he took it over.
