Can we make hack not disable Harmony Orb?

All the other healers have a way of healing when hacked I believe except Zen. I think it would be fair if hack at least allowed Zen to use his Harmony Orb because currently whenever Zen is hacked he is almost entirely useless.

Lucio is completely disabled, more than Zen even - no healing/speeding and no wall riding. I believe if the orb is out it will not be recalled if you are hacked unless whoever is “orbed” leaves your LoS.

True. But even if the orb is put when you’ve been hacked its extremely easy for someone to leave you LoS like a Flanker. You do make a good point for Lucio though, he does feel useless along with Zen when Hacked or EMP’d

I honestly think they should let Lucio heal when hacked and let Zen (and others) keep their shields when EMP:ed. It’s a thing that only affects what, 3 characters?, but it hits Zen in particular harshly. With all the other buffs they can make this one concession.

misleading title, you should probably change that so people wont think its Moira your talking about. Zenyattas ball isnt Biotic Orb, its Harmony Orb.

WRONG. Lucio is not completely disabled.
Hack stops you from using crossfade, but the tune you are currently playing should not go away.
This was something very specific, every ability that “requeries a button” is cancelled. Crossfade requires a button, but the current playing song does not.

He’s completely disabled now unless there’s a change on the ptr I’m unaware of.

This.
I got really confused. Please change it.

Sorry! It’s still pretty early where I am so I’m not entirely awake. Thanks for pointing that out though.

No hack is powerful enough

Well that’s not what they said they would do… maybe it’s a bug and they haven’t aknowledged it?

How would this make hack stronger?

Lol I misread the thread

It was in the patch notes so it isn’t a bug. They just wanted lució to get deleted from the game since all he could do is shoot when hacked. I’m surprised they even left his m1…

Actually, it does make the song you do go away.
