Wait, so Sigma needs to maintain line of sight for his targets during his ult? I understand Sigma is strong but…why? You keep slowly introducing CC that will stun channeling ults out of their ults. Why would a Sigma player use his ult and fly up in the sky, in front of everyone, to only get hit with sleep dart, hack, magnetic grenade, etc?

Isn’t this the same reason we say Pharah has one of the worst ults? So the answer is to condemn another hero to it? Let alone a tank which already has like 8 people on the role?

Make it make sense. Am I missing something?

It just reverted the change they implemented super recently

I understand you need to see the enemies when you put the circle underneath them, but then generally, once you click to confirm, you move around a corner, but why on Earth would someone sit in the wide open sky behind 0 cover? So now you need to keep them on your screen the entire time during lift and slam?

Am I stupid and mis-understanding something here?

This is how he used to be if you werent aware and the los is more that the enemy players need to be in view the center of the zone not sigma himself. So you can avoid it by hiding behind a wall again even if that targetting circle is under your feet

the ult needs line of sight, not sigma. as in you can’t ult one side of a wall anymore and people on the other side get lifted

OOOOOH, ok. Yeah that makes sense. I knew I had to be missing something. I thought the LOS meant Sigma himself. Got it. Thank you.

You need to nerf this robot of memes to a balanced state first to even think about any buffs.

15

Its honestly not a bad change it makes more sense like that and gives the ult a way to not be abused

She needs big nerfs, lol. Nerf missiles, nerf boosters, nerf matrix.

She’s had on PC just not on console. We need separate balancing

18

Not stupid no, but misunderstanding yes.

The LOS check is from the center of the ult not Sigma himself.

I’m on board with that. PC’s Ana over the years has been console’s Mercy
