Sombra's actual problems and how to fix them

4 Likes

changes are not to cater to the players of the hero, but to make the hero more viable. Sym players wanted to riot when she lost auto aim, but it still went through.

no they are meant to excel at killing things. only 2 heros are good at getting in and out, that’s genji and tracer.

that would make countering stealth impossible for over half the cast. Stealth needs to be counterable. sorry, but its just an easy to counter ability.

why? the enemies already have all there abilities taken away, now you want to give sombra more health?

if I see you hacking as widow from widow range, I should be able to stop you. Both hack and stealth need to be counterable. That’s just a hard to swallow pill.

As Widow you can stop her with a headshot. Why do you need a crutch, or unintentional capacity to stop her?

If I’m shooting Widow, shouldn’t she suffer from much more bullet punch to throw her aim?

Her one shot is much more devastating than Hack, so I should have a better chance of stopping it right? She shouldn’t be able to use in combat right? She needs to be ‘sneaky’ and making the maximum use of her range?

seeing that it takes less than a second to get a hack off, and more than a second to get the charge needed to kill a 200 hp target her only option is to shoot early, and what the op says is to make all damage from longer than 15 meters not effect hack.

Glad to see you still jump into conversations without knowing context.

Well why should it? I mean, from more than 15m it’s unlikely to follow that there is intent, and even if you don’t stop the Hack you absolutely are going to force her to withdraw from combat.

You’re not just interrupting her, you’re dealing very considerable damage when you’re focusing with intent. You guys seem to forget that.

glad to see you change your stance when your logic is proven wrong still too. why should it? because teammates should be able to help teammates.

Why should rien protect anyone other than himself with his shield if that’s your logic?

Why is my logic wrong?

Why do you deserve the very considerable bonus of a skill interrupt tied to your primary fire?

that’s where your logic is wrong

“LUL just kill the sombra you shouldn’t need a crutch”

it takes longer to charge the shot than it does to get the hack off.

“LUL why should it be interruptable”

You went from “you should have the skill to kill her”

to

“it shouldn’t be interruptable from range” because I turned your logic on its head with the fact that its not possible to charge a shot to kill before sombra gets a hack off.

But if she Hacks and you get the kill, you still win. What does it matter?

Your team with half decent work can keep the Hacked player up, especially when you dispatch one of the DPS shooting them down.

At what point do you think Hack, should as standard be an easier and more normal to interrupt than to actually succeed in doing?

im done talking to you, you always do this. your logic is flawed, as always. You shouldn’t have to kill sombra to stop her hack.

Not really saying it shouldn’t be. But why do you think it should be easier to interrupt than to achieve?

What if like other abilities it actually required stuns, displacement, sleep and so on to do so?

other abilites don’t shut down every ability your target has. nor do they auto track from 20 meters.

Sleep and Freeze still exist.

20 characters required.

Sleep has unlimited range.

Freeze has generous area of effect.

Hack has 15m range.

cool so how about we make it to where you have to track your target perfectly with your crosshair like all other uninterrubtable by damage abilites?

Your logic was “other abilities don’t get interrupted by damage” right? so lets put it in line with other abilites, and have it require perfect tracking the entire time youre getting it off. Go off the target for a split second? gotta restart.

Yeah, you kind of do since the los changes.

no you don’t, you just have to have them on your screen and not behind a shield or wall.

Nope, you need to track them. That’s why blink and similar abilities now break it.
