Red swirls is simply not a good indicator that someone is hacked.
Even someone who doesnt play OW can see when someone has a purple blinking health bar after getting hit by anti nade and can figure that something is up. Its very hard to miss.
As Sombra if you dont make call outs literally everytime you hack someone, 9 times out of 10 your team wont even realize it.
Could we please consider making hack on enemies consistent with hack on health packs and turret-like constructs?
Add the purple timer skulls on top of their heads. Please?
Jeff, we need you responding to this. Give us mexican hackers some love.

This has been asked for since sombra was released. Zero fs given by the devs.

Yeah i really appreciate any support this thread can get. Jeff ackowledged a Bastion thread, so everything appears fair game.

I always suggested this, but people claim it would be “visual clustered”

Which is silly. Nobody complains about it when they see it on Bob. lol

Tbh, you’re a lot more likely to get UI and automated Voice-comms for Sombra, than you are to get straight up buffs.
Because that communication gap is really the main difference between her usefulness in high tier and low tier.

BOB has a sugar skull above his head when he’s hacked, why can’t regular heroes have this as well??

I would like more of an indication when you’re getting hacked too. A slightly brighter part of your screen that doesn’t really show where you’re getting hacked from means nothing when you only have 0.65s to respond to it.
Well about the “likelyness”, this suggestion is almost as old as Sombra herself and they didnt do it yet. They added Ashe with Bob and added it for him, but didnt change it for regular heroes yet. They probably need to have some people in the UI section which are against doing this for whatever reason.
For some reason they buffed her spread again even though most Sombra players i talk to are against it. They kinda tend to do their own thing and not listen to what we have to say.

…Yeah I may have been a proponent of that one…
Yeah its an everyday suggestion by people who dont play her. I’m aware of that.
Something like Zen discord. It’s transparent enough that It doesn’t look obnoxious on your screen but still easily noticeable to everyone.

Its pretty simple actually. Add an opacity slider for visual effects for those who dont like it.

We’ve been asking for this for about 3+ years now and nothing.
There has to be an actual reason with the coding of the game that this can’t be implemented. I can’t imagine that such a tiny QOL change could just be completely ignored on a hero who consistently sits at the bottom pickrate/winrates. Zen’s discord is clearly visible, enemies turn bright blue when frozen by Mei, anti-nade is easy to distinguish, Lucio’s area and aura show up clear, so I can’t imagine that pure laziness/stubbornness is the reason for this never being implemented.
There has to be an actual reason with the game itself. I can’t believe otherwise because they may, in fact, get me to tear my own hair out.

The only reason i can think of is that they dont want it to overlap with the checkmark icon. But even that gets easily fixed. Just place the timer skull a bit higher.
But what about uprising? Null sector enemies all have the sugar skulls above them and there you can hack a lot more opponents than in a usual game yet there weren’t any complaints about visual clutter.
