Fix hack and rez now!

These abilities are badly designed! We have a hero with infinite invisibility who just waits to hack an ult. How is that fair? It takes a lot of work to farm an ult, then have a no aim ability on a 2 second cool down totally cancel it. I get an ult like emp canceling it or a skill shot like sleep on a long cool down do it. But a cheese ability like hack? Give me a break devs.

Then we have Mercy a relatively low skill hero with a tiny hit box with some of the best movement in the game. You have a resurrect ability that doesn’t need line of sight that can erase an elim. Sure it’s on a relatively long cool down, but it’s way to easy to get value from and not easy to stop unless you immediately one shot or boop her. Resurrecting a tank back to full heal when now it takes a really long team to take them down, is ridiculous. That is a badly designed ability.

To make these abilities fair, sombra should not be able to hack an ult to cancel it, only her EMP should be able to do that. As for resurrect, if Mercy does pull it off, she needs to have line of sight and that hero should only have half health!

Just admit the skill issue, it’s nothing to be ashamed of

You must be a mercy or sombra player.

Actually not atm, but i know sometimes known as counterplay

5

Wasn’t complaining about counter play, just cheese abilities that need fixing!

6

Nothing cheese about that, when hyper mobility and ranged one shots/burst kill combos exist there needs to be reliable counterplay

I think Sombra’s icon needs to pop up on your screen in whatever direction she is hacking you from. Having to work out where she is hacking you from within the 1 second it takes to hack her target isn’t enough time.

How are those counter play to one shots and burst combos?? I didn’t say remove them from the game, just fix them.

How is pulling off a rez behind a wall fair or hacking an ult??

9

Boops wall and pin all kill rez and mercy is a sitting duck

And what rank are you

10

Or she should have invisibility on a cool down like in overwatch 1. I think not canceling sigma or moira with hack is a start.

11

what else is rez?

without being behind a wall there is a good chance these ranged 1 shots and high burst combos gonna kill mercy too, without counterplay

There are just a few ults that can be hacked reliable

needs compensation buffs for that tho

and there is the skill issue, moira can cancel hack ez with a flick or a simple fade

12

Those have to be pulled off immediately to stop hack. Even if you do that a good amount of the time she still pulls off rez. I’m diamond 5.

13

Just damage and hack ends

14

How do you counterplay a rez through a wall?

15

No sorry, but rez is a high risk high reward ability. She should not be able to use it without line of sight!! The counterplay is hide yet still see the hero you are rezzing!

16

As long range, u dont, and thats good.
As close range/flanker, should be self explaining

17

Have to tried to pull of a sig ult while getting a target then magically getting hacked out of it.

18

yes, and also the least used ability in the game by far, dont need more risks

19

a few times, but usually when i play sig and enemies have sombra i wait for hack or use cover while fluxxing

20

That ability is highly used, do lie to yourself mercy main!
