So. A widowmaker shot me in the head while I was totally invisible and actively strafing. Classy, right? Anyway, the excuse she gave (once she, by her own admission, ‘stopped trolling’) was that a teammate of mine bumped into me, allowing HER to see me. And I just want to know if that’s actually how that works. (No teammate of mine bumped into me anyway, but I figure why not ask anyway).
Teammates don’t reveal you (unless you’re being healed or bubbled), only enemies and any form of damage.

maybe she tried to shoot your teammate missed them but hit you on accident
No, there was actually no one around me. She also claims I was “running to the point” but I was on the point and had been for some time. But her whole excuse for how she saw me was a lie so it makes sense the rest is too. Anyone know where I can send a screenshot of that convo so I can prove she was lying about how she knew where I was?
Sombra can only be seen invisible if there is a Sonar arrow near you, if the enemy Widow is using ult or if you’re in the faces of your enemy.
Also, throwing a translocator kinda reveals where you are, since the translocator can be seen as soon as you throw it.
Even if an enemy had bumped into me (which, I cannot stress this enough, did not happen) would SHE still have been able to see me, or only the non-existent teammate of hers?
No. Only enemies that are close to you.
Yes, you fade into existence and make a sound for a second when an enemy is very near, you are visible.
report them for hacking, move on
It should only be to the enemy that is very close to you.
She had a little posse of friends that were trolling me with her, so nothing’s gonna happen there. I do have a screenshot of her blatantly false explanation of events though. Just don’t know where to send that to make something happen.
you can report them for hacking anyway. They’re friends cant stop them from being banned for hacking.
Do you happen to have a Zarya?
No, teammates do not reveal you if they bump into you. And reveals while cloaked usually have a big warning on your screen.
the game is glitchy AF
she became visible to me on a moving platform on " [Volskaya Industries] i saw her and i was like WTF and flashed her, the flash bang went through her and so did my bullets then she disappeared…glitch? teleported?? eitherways she was there LONG enough for me see the bullets fly right through her after my flash. WTF is this blizzard??
The enemy only needs to be close to you, but even then you would have seen the detected message flash across the screen.
Sombras invis has a 2 m detection radius. Every enemy on hugging distance can see you. Also indicated with a “whoosh” sound effect and a “detected” sign.
Teammates standing next to you does nothing, they can see you anyways. Widow either had infrasight, got lucky, or cheated.
