I think it should. Hanzo is very dominant right now and Sombra is… well, it’s Sombra. Maybe if she could stop the storm arrows she would become just a little bit more viable
Yes

Sombra should not stop Storm Arrows just to make her viable (not like it would) thats not how it works, Hanzo won’t he on top forever.
Pretty sure storm arrow locks you out of your other abilities. Also, his bow literally transforms
Well it is a channel skill then the channeling time is too fast for hack to cancel.
Storm arrow is a transformation ability, kinda like transform to another state.
??? it doesn’t lock you out of anything, you can use sonic arrow with one of the arrows from storm and you can also lunge around, wall climb and dragonstrike while it’s active
Mechanically no. As it’s not a channeled ability. Balance wise? maybe.
Hack should stop Storm Arrows, Stop brig’s passive AND Ult too
While it’s true the exception from the rule can be made (especially that his storm arrows are considered op so maybe making the ability stoppable is a good way to balance him without a direct nerf - he would have to be more careful when using it), as sombra is unable to stop zen’s ult that’s a channeling ult. And i’ve seen once that genji’s ult used to be stoppable by stuns and then changed for consistency so exceptions are possible.
Also idk if something has changed but i am pretty sure sombra can hack road’s ult.
Because Zen himself becomes invulnerable and immune to CC
Consistency is key here, if there was an exception to Genji before, they removed it because of consistency, adding an interruption for Hanzo goes against consistency for transformation skill
And yeah, she can interrupt Hog because it’s a channel too, I’m gonna remove that part of my post because people keep clinging to that even though I admited I was wrong
If we are going to defend anyone with a consistency word then zen should be vulnerable to CC as everyone with transform ability is, or the exception like stopping storm arrows/genji’s ult / whatever should be acceptable and we should forget about “consistency” in a particular ability type.
Well there is one thing that makes it worthwhile. If he is hacked during the Dragonstrike Casting animation then it doesn’t activate.
you’re not understanding, Zen is not an exception, this is only coding-wise, he has stuff on top of his channel that makes him override the channel weaknesses, what I mean is on Hack’s code there isn’t a line that says: Sombra can’t hack Zen out of Transcendence
but there is one on Transcendence that says: Zen channels for X amount of time and is invulnerable to CC (CC doesn’t include displacements)
what would hanzo have on top of his skill in order to make him vulnerable to hack?
That’s mostly a rhetorical question because the answer is nothing, you cannot make a transformation skill vulnerable to Hack without recoding Hack itself and in that case you would shaft all transformation skills including ults like Soldier’s which seems to go against the devs objectives for Hack
Technically he is, Reinhardt can charge him, Doomfist can punch him back or uppercut him, etc.
