This ult is already terrible, why does it instantly get deleted by EMP?

You can actually use that to your advantage, strategically. Place it relatively close, but not quite on your team and she has to choose whether to EMP the team or the tree.

Sombra would be an idiot to solo emp Tree anyways. It’s average HP/S is below 30. You can safely ignore it in a variety of situations, and it’s 1000 hp is easy to delete regardless.
And to the OP, EMP should delete tree because EMP deletes Sym’s wall, and LW also utilizes hard light

What does weavers ult even do again?

Me, the Sombra:
“Oh sweet. They just placed that tree outside of the fight.”
ignores tree and shoots team
Honestly the best counterplay is just to hold tree until she EMPs and vice versa. Basically it’s a stalemate because Sombra and Lifeweaver are waiting to see who’s in a situation of ”damn I need to ult this” first.
On the topic of EMP and tree:
Interaction should stay the same, tree should definitely be buffed in other ways.
It does 50 on a pulse every 1.75 seconds… that’s sad. They should at least increase it to like 65 or something because outside of the initial 150 burst, the tree is more of a Mei with on ult with lackluster benefits.
Good buffs (either/or)
- Drastically increase the duration to incentivize killing it.
- Get rid of the LOS requirement.

Its an ultimate. Why doesn’t it pulse out 100 HP ever 1.75 seconds, or 50 every second? Why in the world is the healing so poor on it?

Because I’m assuming people would cry but yeah I agree on big numbers for heals.
Or my other 2 suggestions if they insist on keeping the healing so awful. Either way 50 heals every 1.75 seconds for such a short ultimate is bad. It only shoots 8 pulses if it lives max duration.
It would go with the duration + LOS thing to further differentiate it from “worse transcedance”
Sombra (Rework) EMP:
Remove the aura for a imaginary chainsaw that’s cuts down trees/ults.

Everything else insta-deletes the tree, it would be weird if EMP didn’t, lol.
I hate how EMP has just become “hold this all game until someone else ults”

It’s a hard-light construct. Symmetra’s fully countered by Sombra, too.
Additionally, it’s a large deployable. Most of them get shut down by EMP.
It’s perfectly fair.

Yes it should
Why would she Emp the tree at that point? The tree isn’t worth an entire emp. Plus, the tree’s best quality is that initial burst healing. As life weaver, just wait till Sombra emp’s so you ult can provide that burst of healing. And if she doesn’t use EMP because she’s waiting for you… good. Emp is worth 1000x what your ult is. So it’s ok if she wastes it on you.
same as mei ult, sym ult etc.
she just presses her button and its done. no skill required. 
I mean I’m fine with the EMP portion, but the ult definitely needs a buff. Maybe 200 instant HP and then bursts of 75. Boost the HP to 1500.
Like it helps, but it’s probably the worst support ult in the game.
In reality? Nothing.
What’s it supposed to do? Provide cover and heal.
What do I use it for. Lazily blocking Dva bombs so I don’t have to move, and dueling overconfident winstons. (Not that I blame them. They should be confident going against LW. )

I would take the opposite approach; buff the tree and leave this as a counter play option.
Sombra could use another reason to be picked, and meaningful counterplay is always a good thing.
But this ult is just crazy bad and needs buffs anyway. It’s just so unimpactful. Took me ages to get the cute spray.

I think the point of it is to be a mei wall and a healing dispenser, so it can be used to line of sight things AND heal, if it healed more it would probably be broken.
True, the tree should just be buffed to compensate for how easy it is to destroy by multiple means.

Her Hack should disable every ability, including ults and objects like Tree.
Passives should be locked out for the duration.
