An Idea for Sombra's Virus (or Hack)

Yes, I’m making yet another thread about Sombra. This is potentially a terrible idea, but I’m gonna throw it out there anyway to see what people think.

What if Sombra’s Virus (or Hack) functioned like Duchess’s Restage ability from Elden Ring: Nightreign?

For those who haven’t played NR, Duchess has an ability called Restage where if activated, any damage applied on a target in the last three seconds gets applied again (at 50% reduction). The only thing is with Duchess is she’s free to activate Restage at a distance without having to land anything, where as Virus actually has to land on the target.

I’m thinking Sombra (and possible teammates) can do damage on a target, and then Sombra can then try to land Virus (or hack) on that target, and the damage they took 3 seconds ago gets applied again. I figure this could give Virus some unique functionality rather than just being a generic damage-over-time projectile.

Maybe they will revisit her in 2030 but I doubt it’ll be for the best: the past is the best predictor of the future and looking at Sombra’s past, I’m not thrilled for her future.

Let’s face it, they moved on. They have 173 other things to worry about with now likely less people (what with the layoffs and whatnot).
