Sombra LoS Breaks (Small Objects)

Hi all,

I was hoping we could get some input from the developers on how they feel with the current Sombra hack LoS changes.

There have been many cases where the hack LoS breaks on small poles and posts which is suppose to not be the case, and I managed to hack a recalling tracer the other day, which felt pretty bad…

Furthermore I have noticed some high-speed mobility can break the hack, such as when tracer blinks, even though she was still in LoS and within range.

I feel as though these changes have made it reasonable for enemies to evade hack, which is a step in the right direction. But in some cases the hack seems to be breaking when it shouldn’t, and is making the ability very inconsistent and often frustrating to use.

Will there be any further iterations on the way the game checks the hack LoS in the near future to make it more consistent for Sombra (such as ignoring small LoS blockers, i.e. poles) but remain fair for enemies to evade?

Thanks,
Gandy
