Remove hack ability from the game

What the F were they thinking allowing this ability to go through? I don’t care sombra is “F-tier”, no hero should have ability that completely disables you for 4 seconds. Just such stupid game design. Remove the ability and redesign the hero. At least mcree only disables you for less than 1 second.

This ability makes mei look like a well designed hero.

Yes. Gut an F-Tier hero. Awesome, lmao.

Sounds like somebody is bad and can’t play around it?

by this very logic, reins ult is op because it stuns for more than a second.

edit: wait the hack doesn’t even stun op are you ok

Well tbf, he didn’t say stun, he just said disable (although he uses disable as stun for mccree)

Also I would be fine if they removed hack or nerfed it so they could buff the other parts of her kit, since right now it’s probably the only thing gatekeeping her from being buffed.

No, keep hack, it’s unique and fun. i hate topics like this, why the hell do people want to make heroes all feel the same? Oh, and Mei is a well designed hero, she’s why i’m still playing after 2000 hours, her kit is awsome.

either way the wording is bad and inconsistent. even then I don’t agree with ayn form of comparison.

op tried to skirt around the fact sombras f tier but it doesn’t help his argument. she’s still f tier lol

I mean they just made Sombra, slapped a hack on her and called it quits. Shes F tier. But yeah any type of hard CC is terrible for gameplay.

Something like “Hey, we have some heroes with very powerful abilities who could go totally out of control … maybe we should add a hero who can shut down these other heroes relatively reliable?”

I think it sucks out the fun in this game

Not to rank shame, but you’re in silver. You are not going against competent teammates who can:

  • Interrupt hack
  • Counter Sombra
  • Protect you when you’re hacked

The higher you go, the more easily countered Sombra is. And in your rank, you are NOT going against even half-decent Sombra players.

So, no. We’re not going to nerf a hero just because you personally don’t like it. :slight_smile:

It’s a soft-CC. It doesn’t disable your movement or your gun. And she has that because her damage potential is God awful. It’s a trade-off.

CC is part of Overwatch, if you dont like it, it may not be the right game for you.

They aren’t, but its a problem when they’re lock ons or not a skill shot. It’s why I extremely dislike Valeera’s Garrote in Heroes of the Storm. It’s not a skill shot, you click on an enemy and it silences them. Things like Alarak’s Discord Strike are fair as there are counterplay options besides “play out of range” and such.

you mean the one match sombra was played in in the last 5 months? lmfao

Nah I mean in total mayhem

They can change how hack works a little. And raise the cast time as long as EMP’s cast is reverted then sure

it being lock on isnt really significant though. its the most counterable lock on skill by far.

YOU MEAN THE ONE MATCH OF TOTA MAYHEM PLAYED IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS?

lmao I mean, it isn’t meant to be balanced.

It does since it is also pretty silent, especially in the thick of a battle, you won’t hear significantly hear it for the majority of the player base, which the forums love to talk about.

But she ruins any attempt of having a nice fun game
