Fix it blizzard. Revert the LoS change. It makes the hero feel absolutely terrible to play.

Not only that, but its the only ability in the game with a LoS check which must be continually aimed. It’s completely overloaded with flaws. Every single part of Sombra’s kit can be canceled by an enemy. EMP, Trans, Stealth, and Hack
Shes been in the bottom 5 heros for her entire existence, and waiting another 6 months for some QoL changes which may still leave her in trash tier is so frustrating.
And let me just say, I put in 100 hours on Sombra before this rework. It’s not like I can’t deal with an underpowered hero. The issue is shes no longer enjoyable to play. Her entire kit feels like it was gutted in exchange for a working gun.
Sombra needed BUFFS. She wasn’t in a good place. And the dev’s refused to admit that, so they put through this sham of a rework nerfing hack and EMP in exchange for the 10% spread reduction she should have had all along.

Tracer’s Blink shouldn’t break Hack’s LoS check.
That’s the least of the problem. Hack gets broken by stairs, by being too close to walls, by light posts, pinata, you name it.
The visuals in the game are just visuals, the actual game interacts with an invisible layer which SHOULD be in the same place as the visuals, but isn’t in 100s of places on every map.
This means that hack can be broken by 1 of 100s of invisible walls on every stage. I don’t care about blink. At least Tracer did something. I care about hacking Tracer from behind while on a staircase and the ability just outright failing multiple times in a row with NO INTERFERENCE.

You expressed my feeling exactly. Sombra got some nerfs in exchange for a semi functional gun.
