title says it all tested it out with a freind and even recored it theyre is no way thats not a bug does the same thing to turrets to.
it should disable bob and turrets but id say for like 4 or 6 seconds instead of the 12 seconds that its doing currently
also i know its a bug because bop stands straight up and aims at people instead of having his head down after the 1 second on the normal hack is over
should mention this is the beta btw
Buildables stay disabled for longer than players when they get hacked or EMP’d so it’s probably that. Hack is on a shorter cooldown in 2 though, are you sure she didn’t just hack him more than once?
went into a custom game and hacked him once and it lasted for the whole duration ill try to upload it to yt or something but the quality is gonna be bad
I’ll take your word for it. They could probably just reduce the amount of time Bob is hacked for to half its duration. I think it won’t make a huge difference since hack is on a short enough cooldown to be able to do it twice and negate him totally, but if Sombra dies or has to translocate away, she’d lose that pressure against him.
oh yeah i didnt think about that her hacking him twice still tho i feel like its a little unfair to the ash player having a whole ult snuffed out but then again that does happen to some heros
Yeah, I mean hack destroys all channeled ultimates instantly. With Sombra being able to hack in stealth, she can safely and easily cancel like high noon, rocket barrage, death blossom, gravitic flux, coalescence by existing basically. At least in ow1, you could wait until she hacked and then cast your ability, but she gets it back so quickly in 2, you may as well swap to a different hero.
Historically in Overwatch, killing them is not a good enough counter to an ability.
Which is a bit weird if that’s the case since B.O.B’s whole thing is that he’s basically a 7th 6th player (capping the objective and all that.)
Hack shouldn’t even disable him to begin with. It should only cancel his charge, reveal him through walls, and give sombra increased damage to him. Just like a real player, since that’s what he’s supposed to be.
If we’re going for realism, how does sombra hack running, and jumping?
That’s his ability. Just like how the hack stops a rein charge.
That doesn’t make since. Bob (a machine) shouldn’t be completely shut down with hack, but winston, (organic legs) can’t leap because hax?
I’m talking about making him consistent with player interactions with hack, not making it realistic
Also you have no proof BOB isn’t a human
Oh my mistake. He must be one of those rare people who can remove his head with mild discomfort. Silly me.
Yeah I would know from personal experience
Then you should do vegas. You’d make a killing.
I’ve got some amazing advice, don’t let bob get hacked.
It is concerning but honestly the issue isnt’ bob but hacking in general. It’s to easy, to free and to quick in OW2. Yet it remains as strong or stronger than the hacks in OW1.
Add to that with only one tank and less shields i play there is far less counters to hacking. As blocking line of sight is basically your only counter, you can’t stop a hack in progress unless you happen to already be firing in Sombra’s direction.
The hack is too fast to react and fire at a sombra trying to hack you, especially now that she can start a hack invis with no delay.
I will confirm hack on bob is infinite
I don’t know why, in beta 1 it was like 2 seconds which was escensially useless, but now it’s just infinite lol
I think they should make it 4s, so there’s a bit of downtime between each hack, considering it can be done from stealth
I wouldn’t call it strong at all lul
The wall hacks might pressure you, specially if they have a sniper, but it’s also the only wall hack that tells you it’s active because of the text
Cancelling abilities I’ve found them extremely niche (because noone goes channeling heroes in my matches except for like mercy Lul)
And the extra damage is just so sombra can do anything, the fact that I can’t finish off a 50hp target without hack because they’re getting Lucio aura is beyond me, so for most of the game IMO I just ignore sombra until she starts shooting because hacking is really not that useful
Heck by hacking me she’s giving me a second to react to “oh I’m gonna attack you watch out”
If it’s disabling him infinitely, thats a bug that should go into the bug report section, in OW1 it should only last the regular hack duration of 5, and in OW2 it should only last 2 seconds, you should report it to bug report section with video proof, to best allow them to know and fix the bug, specifically the beta bug report section
yes, seconding the call to put it into the bug forum. feels like sombra’s hack is acting very inconsistently, and i hope it gets smoothed out by launch. right now, i’m mostly hacking to get the extra damage which feels… bad
