Hack / EMP / hack

I know it is annoying as all hell, but if I can’t get my team to kill you in 20 seconds and my gun won’t do it, what do you expect me to do?

You are the highest value target on the field, keeping that shield down, and stopping you from charging is all I can do to get value out of my kit.

When you don’t have a lot to work with, you have to get value whenever you can.

Yes Sombra should have something to make that happen less, but until that day - I’m keeping your shield down for as long as I can.

You want the hero rebalanced, I want the hero rebalanced.

No surprise players are slapping each other to not play main tank.

I have 600 hours on support, but you couldn’t pay me to tank for a team.

You guys have it rough.

When I’m dpsing it is mostly Mei and Sombra, and I do actually feel bad about what I do to tank players.

LITERALLY NOBODY wants to play main tank, or tanks in general in the lower elo. I’ve gotten 3 dps 3 support game, 5 dps 1 support game, but very rarely do I get a 2-2-2 game

I actually enjoy orisa for those sweet enviormental kills. But rein is a snooze fest

6

rein is fun when im not CC chainlocked. Honestly, playing rein without zarya is absolutely useless

7

To leave me alone

Sorry man, I’d love to, but as the most value target, your gotta get hacked, and I’ll take as much ult from you as my little gun can give me.

I disagree with chain hacking. But I’ll do it anyway.

9

It would be nice if already hacked target were non-hackable.

10

I agree. Which is ultimately the point of the post.

As a Sombra, you are damn near forced to do it though.

11

Not to mention that this combo’ed is rare, and very and I mean very situational.

People tend to forget that the Sombra player have to perfectly timed each Hack in order for it to be the full 18 seconds.

June 17th Edit: If you hack too soon, then the players does not experiences that full duration of hack.

But if you hack too late, then that target can use his or her abilities, and end up escaping and/ or even killing the Sombra.

/End Edit.

If I get it wrong and it is only 15 seconds, is that really any better? (Well yes, but it is already a crazy long time).

If I see the rein has ult, I’ll even put a small space after the first hack into the ult, see if I can bait out shatter :slight_smile:
You know they will mad enough to try.

No, it’s not any better, however, the whole point that people justified about this “Hack Chain” is that they are hacked for the full duration of 18 seconds.

Does it sucks, Yes, being a Sombra main and you play anything else, and the enemy team whom have a Sombra will try and do this to you… and I have been on the other end of the stick, so I know how it feels.

But not allowing Sombra to hack a target whom she already hacked afterwards, is a huge nerf to those situational times. Also after, that means the whom she hacks, not they are somewhat immune to EMP, and vice versa, whom she EMP, they are now immune to being hacked.

Results in making Sombra even worse on the ladder, and dramatically decrease her playtime in OWL.

14

No one forgot, you just stack to <18s and that’s already too much.

15

Good.

Sorry. I’ve long argued that Sombra needs harsh adjustments to make her more viable on ladder. The fact that she’s caught in this CC creep is just unfortunate.

16

The mythical 18 second hack. If you feel the need to use it, you already failed. If the Sombra cant kill you in the intial 6 seconds or at least win the teamfight because of it, then its not worth running her.

17

In general this game needs diminishing returns on all CC, whether its hack, Mei’s Freeze, Stuns, or even displacement effects.

The effect should be reduced by half for each subsequent application, on a timer that resets after X seconds.

I’m looking for blizzard to hurry along her rebalancing that we know is coming.

Any change like this would trigger it.

I also want the tank mains to know that I know what she does is wrong.

It is a case that they went her rebalance to trigger, and so do i.

19

We have been in need of something like that for a year now.

Yep, nobody wants to play tank.

But everyone: guys please can we have 2,2,2!?

And “we need a maintank” hell how good can they writte this?
But picking is impossible
