Why does Sombra have to be the one that can’t do anything because of broken LOS checks? Why can’t heroes like Mercy or Symmetra have to deal with it? Because it will break them? Yet Sombra didn’t get broken because of it?
Did you know it’s nearly impossible to actually hack a Tracer now if they blink once? Did you know LOS checks are so different for every hero that there can never be consistency between them? Heroes like Pharah has a broken hack hitbox. Did you know that Sombra is in such a poor place that nobody plays her or even talks about her?
I remember thinking, “I do not even rely on hack that much, I am going to benefit a lot from these changes.” I have not really played her since, unless I get really annoyed in a match because she is probably my best character.
The changes helped everything on her primary. Her hack, however, got left in the mud because people cried about it.
Less than 1 month passed between the time Sombra buffs were shoved onto live (not even the PTR) and she got nerfed and her hack was gutted because of LOS checks (not even on the PTR).
It’s sad that something as simple as Brigitte giving 50 less armor on her ultimate gets more time than removing the LOS check breaking.
I dont want a full on line of sight removal.
…BUT!
I don’t want hack to be broken by small objects and actions that should not break it, like a random blink(and maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe not have that pesky 2 sec cd. maybe.not necessary, but would help against Tracer.). That is all.
That being said, Symmetra’s ray will not be a lock on anymore soon™, if her rework is as if Jeoff said. It will be more akin to a Zarya Ray(a little thiccer). So the only lock on will be Mercy’s healing ray.
I just hate the fact that Sombra is being held by limitation. Don’t get me wrong, I still wreck with her, but it seems like it’s not really rewarding enough.
I made a post about a small QoL change that can help improve her survivability etc.
