Sombra's Hack is buggy. Here's a bunch of videos to prove it

Self explanatory title, really. Hack is buggy AF and has been ever since the patch that changed its LOS checks. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for such a hero-defining ability to work correctly.

Note to self: Consider splitting category 1 into smaller sub categories because the sheer number of clips there is kind of silly.

  1. Hack sometimes fails for no readily apparent reason.

  1. Hack sometimes takes longer than the advertised 0.65s to complete.

  1. Hack sometimes completes despite losing connection to the target.

  1. Hack sometimes works in situations that it shouldn’t.

  1. Hack sometimes breaks in situations that might be working as intended but nonetheless feel frustrating to the Sombra.

Good list.

Threads like these are the reason I hate limiting link sharing to Trust Level 3.

How do you even check your trust level? I can’t find it.

Also Jeff has made a couple of posts in the last few minutes so, uh, fingers crossed that he notices this I guess?

I’ve been trying to get him to address Widow bugs to no avail for over 6 months, so…

I was trying to hack the healthpack. But okay i’ll take it!

How the hell did that hack even work? Added, thanks.

Looks like latency issues for damage interruption of hack?

Issues meaning with code, not on users’ ends.

It’s very frustrating
