She has a multitude of bugs associated with her hack ability. Sometimes it breaks for no apparent reason. Sometimes it changes targets mid-hack. Sometimes it hacks a target despite losing connection. Sometimes it hacks targets through barriers. Sometimes it takes noticeably longer to complete than it should.
On the PTR, Sombra even got a new bug: Translocator does not despawn if it lands out of bounds, forcing Sombra to wait a full 24 seconds (20s duration + 4s cooldown) before she can use it again. Or she can deliberately use it and die, which might actually be faster. Considering how much Sombra relies on her Translocator, this is crippling.
Here’s a bunch of video evidence of her current bugged state.
- Hack sometimes fails for no readily apparent reason.

[PTR] Translocator does not despawn or go on cooldown if it lands in an inaccessible area.FIXED!

- [PTR] Hacking a health pack, letting the hack expire, then hacking the health pack again results in a red particle effect and sugar skull, making it look like an enemy pack that’s unusable for you and your team.
