QoL for Sombra's Teammates

It’d be funny if when hacked, a sombrero is thrown on their head with a big purple sugar skull on top of it (does not affect hitbox).

Maybe not above their heads, but like a mask, like a certain someone’s OFFICIAL NENDOROID.
Seriously, just go the nendo route!

Like a discord, but for hack. I’m in favor not this.

And it would…
have…
a
really…
easy…
fix…
that…
would…
make…

better…

ranks…

I honestly don’t understand why this wasn’t a feature already when she was still on the PTR.

All the barriers have been visually updated on ptr (they looked fine before) yet hacked targets are still super subtle

How utterly patrician of you … absolutely no reason not to put a hacked indicator up… every other effect has a visual cue there is no reason this one shouldn’t.

Or for deafened players.

Maybe they think this would make her OP

And they’d be wrong.

Or in the least indicate more clearly if some of Sombra’s hack/EMP related bugs are still present.

Whaaaat? Come on. How are you struggling to see the little red squiggle that’s the same shade as the enemies already red aura?
What’s that? Even if you do see it, it’s hard to tell when the hack runs out?
Seriously, this indicator sucks. Don’t know why people defend it so hard
Edit: to be clear, the first part was sarcasm

Sombras Long hack - YouTube.
Hack may takes a little longer but it doesnt work anyway - YouTube
Hack takes a little longer - YouTube
Hack not finishing - YouTube

In 1.28 they are still here (Just a few clips I have xD)
I will test it in 1.29 as soon as it hits live testing such things on the PTR is hard xD
(Some of these are extendet hacks but they are still work similar to the normal break bug.)

Also here is my Bug post if you’re intrested: Even more Sombra Bugs in 1.26/1.27/1.28 [With Video's]
I update it whenever something come up but only on the live version.

I was thinking more it would make those bugs stand out more. :slight_smile:

But appreciate you linking them, even still.

Ah I though you where talking about that the devs should be clear if they had fixed them or not sorry

No worries! :smiley: I can see why I made that easy to misunderstand. ^^;

Anti-nade is way more obvious. That you think Sombra players should mic should tell you all need to know about it’s visual indicator. People don’t need Ana or Zen on mic to know their enemy has those effects.

i don’t know about your eyes but i can tell if someone is hacked or not pretty easily

also sombra sound effects + voicelines after hacking someone is a pretty obvious indication too. players are probably not used to sombra yet

Wut are you joking?

She does not really have a Voiceline for it only the enemies have one and that’s mostly just something completely random what nobody would connect with hack. For the Sound effects of actual hack, they don’t have a big range and are extremely easy to miss mid-fight.

And what would this QoL change actually make worst?
Are you a Doom main and are scared of getting more focused after hack or something?

Both Orb and Anti-heal are super easy to spot mid-fight Sombra’s red on red Visuals aren’t thats a fact.

i didn’t say the voicelines came from sombra

every hero she hacks has their own voicelines, her typing sounds and then genji voiceline + then the effects on him is enough to tell

they can just make the colors stronger on the hack effects, adding another layer of indications when she already has many is odd
