Hello. I’ve been a Sombra main since Season 3 and have experienced how she played throughout a variety of changes. I think there’s a simple nerf that will keep hack’s current, more-useful form while reducing the constant annoyance that playing against an enemy Sombra can cause.
Hack originally had a cooldown of 12s. This was very annoying at the time, as it often meant choosing between hacking a given health pack or having Hack available to use on an enemy. I was quite pleased when they reduced it to 8s, since at the time hacked Health Packs were vital to Sombra play.
Now that pack-hacking has been reduced in importance, I believe reverting Hack’s cooldown to 12s would be a reasonable response to the community’s displeasure with Sombra’s current state.
I am thrilled that my teammates are no longer complaining in spawn when I choose the character I have around 140 hours on. But I understand that Hack is currently too oppressive. Increasing its cooldown by 50% should help people feel like they have more breathing room against Sombra.
