Fix Sombra Hack!

So we all know that Sombra hack should go on cooldown for 2 seconds, when interrupted. But why is it still a thing that when you Rocketpunch her it ONLY gets interrupted, but hack wont go on cooldown and Sombra can hack instantly again?!
Why does this fix take so long?

Those who don’t play sombra don’t know about the 2 second cooldown, fallacy much?

Sorry, i dont get what you want to say ^^

Maybe the knockback, or stun and extra damage if the hero hits a wall, is compensation enough to not add the CD?

you know what they say, bliss is ignorance. :eye:

So you think it could be a feature?
I dont think it is intentionally, because you need 1 second to fully wind up Rocketpunch and this cant go well, when a sombra hacks you with her 0,65 seconds cast time. So i dont have the time to fully wind up RP to even have a chance to hit her in such a short time. RP wont do much damage then and the knockback is negligible.

So at the moment i try to play around this, by dont using rocketpunch against a hacking sombra, but sometimes i’m out of ammo and other abilities can be on cooldown so when rocketpunching her it wont do much… it feels so cheap. I think it’s okay to be rendered useless as a DF when you get hacked, because how abilitie reliant he is. But when i cancel it with RP she should get punished.

Or is there any other ability or primary fire that causes this too? i dont know.

Dude, i’m not into philosophy. Please elaborate what you want to say or dont do it at all. ;D

I am not sure if it is a feature or an error, but it feels fair. It is unfortunate though how easy it is to move to the side of the rocket punch path and hack. However, when it does land, it sucks because usually it follows with an uppercut and death. :sweat_smile:

How are you or your teammates letting her hack you, you must have really short reflexes.

Sombra needs more dmg, not a fix on hack. Hack needs to get weakened again and not disable everything this game makes different to other games.

Please stop the trolling.
“Me and my teammates”. When i’m flanking there are no teammates around me.
“really short reflexes”. Just do the math and stop insulting me… also it’s not rare to be off cooldown and in between a fight i often dont have any ammo left in the handcannon.
hack has 0,65s cast time, so 650ms time to react. combine this with the range. sombra typically hacks me 10-15m away. handcannon shots travel with 80m/s because its projectile, so it needs 125-187,5ms to reach her, plus the latency which is on both users end and adds like 60-100ms. this results in 362ms-465ms reaction time needed for searching sombra on my screen, aiming and hitting her. yeah it’s so easy…

Rocketpunch is even harder to hit in that time frame, except she hacks me 2m in front of my face.

So do you play Sombra often? Do you know if any other primary fire or ability causes this error? Even if you think it feels fair i want to know if this is only a thing with Rocketpunch.

It’s possible that they stopped hacking as soon as they saw they would get punched.

If Sombra manually stops the hack, it won’t go on cooldown when damaged.

Thanks for your contribution. I didn’t think of that. It happened to me several times now and in the killcam it didnt looked as she interrupts it herself, but i could be wrong. should test it, but don’t have a second player xD

It’s hard to tell, because I think Sombra manually cancelling Hack and interrupted Hack have the same animation.

If not, it may just be a bug.

Reaper counters doom with wraith, widow counters sombra with infrasight, sombra counters doom with hack.

Since when does Sombra is so OP? Did i miss the new raid memo or what?

Who said she is OP? I just wanted to elaborate if it is a bug.

I’m sorry there are like 100 post today about how Sombra should be nerfed and i don’t know where this is coming from.

I dont know either. I just want a fair fight, because i love fighting as Doomfist against a Sombra. No need of nerfing her… but i think the people who wanted Doomfist to be nerfed bc he is so unfun to play against are now the same people who want hack be deleted xD

What happend to DF is just pathetic… DF deserve nerf… but they went all the way and nerf him to ground while buffing his counter Mcrightclick.
