There’s a post on the sombra main reddit/ picture I’ve seen hovering around showing this on training bots. If someone of a higher level could link to it.
This is all I’m going to ask for.
I’m not going to ask for a base movement speed buff. I’m not going to ask for translocator to have more than 5 hp. I’m not asking for a damage threshold. I’m not asking for a total revert. I’m Just asking for this one change.
If the goal is to make it easier to get value out of her, then do this. Because it’s harder to get follow up on hacks when allies can hardly tell who is hacked and who isn’t.

Or at the bare minimum, they could at least change the damn swirls to purple. Like who was the nut-job that decided red on red was a good idea?
It’s beyond frustrating that we’ve been begging for a better indication since her release and yet even after all this time, they won’t fix this one simple thing.

I think the healthpacks should probably hurt, rather than heal, if you grab a hacked healthpack from the other team.

Please do this… Please… Jeff, Geoff, please… it would be so much easier for my team to see who to focus, because the little red swirls aren’t that noticeable…

High visibility target painting would be the most powerful ability in the game. Any time there is an automatic assist which requires nothing but looking for a skull over a target, then Sombra becomes meta until either it goes away or someone else gets the skill.
It is a neat idea, but way too powerful in practice.

This was the sort of buff that I wanted them to give her before the hack change and subsequent “rework.” Just QOL stuff. Like when they made friendly health packs glow through walls. Just giving your team the information.

It would be comparable to the orb of discord, half the people don’t pay attention to who’s discorded. So a skull won’t make a difference.

That isn’t all it requires though. And it’s worked out for discord which hasn’t broken the game. This is the most basic qol thing in the game

Exactly, the orb of discord is target marking, but not everybody notices it. If that doesn’t break the game, a little sugar skull won’t.

Lol, no it wouldn’t, Widow/hanzo do a way better job than that and get nowhere with those abilities, being able to tell who is and isn’t hacked should already be a thing without requiring the Sombra to be on comms yelling at you.

Not just that, but when the enemy stops being hacked should be clear
I Made the thread with the comparsion in Reddit and in the PTR forum, don’t worry i’m not spamming it again , lol

Hack is the only one that disables all enemy abilities for an opposing character, or a pile of them with her ult.
Do you really want that to be like 40 meters?
I need this and I need it now. They already gave the skulls to turrets. Give it to players too…

Discord is the only one that makes you take 30% more damage for as long as zen can look at yoU.
Hack lasts 6 seconds.
To Answer your question, yes, are you kidding?

Yes, it can be tweaked , maybe less clear
Or smaller but i think is fair
Discord doesn’t turn off your ability to evade or use abilities to protect your teammates. Discord is far different than anything Hack has to offer.
Discord is also much easier to hit, use and get value out of. And yes it does. It makes you easier to kill which cancels your abilities becUse you’re dead

Darn, you right. Discord is totally different because it’s a disadvantage but you can still do stuff. Oh wait…
