Strawberry-flavored Oxygen

[VoraRose-1958]

The only thing better than worldwide air that faintly smells and tastes like strawberries would be Sombra staying viable.

You see, people make these “convincing” arguments about Hack being .65s, acting like it wasn’t .8s beforehand. Go ahead. Time 150 milliseconds for me. Tell me how “big” of a difference that is.

She’s just not F tier anymore. Blizzard did a phenomenal job balancing her, and I think the work of Blizzard here should be applauded, not admonished.

Besides, the “leak” is speculation. Thoughts?

I would be extremely worried about which poison or toxic compound was in the air to make it taste/smell like strawberry.

[Reaper-112201]

Vanilla > Strawberry

Just saying.

[Crusher55-11700]

[SirRender-11477]

what if someone is Allergic to Strawberries?

[jdr61100-1943]

Is that a life even worth living anyway?

[Orion-1432]

Leak? You mean the “leak” that Sombra is receiving a nerf soon from a pro player after speaking with the devs? A dev on forums already confirmed it to be true four days ago. It’s not speculation.

@GeoffGoodman

We’re making some more changes to Sombra next patch to address these issues. There are two main changes coming:

Any time Sombra’s hack is interrupted by damage, hacking will go on cooldown for 2 seconds. With this change, Sombra will have to be more careful about choosing when and who to hack instead of just holding down the button and waiting for people to miss and/or reload etc.

There is currently a 0.1s window of time at the end of the hack where it cannot be canceled via line of sight or other effects (such as Tracer’s recall, Zarya bubbles, etc). This exists so it doesn’t constantly get broken by very small line of sight blockers such as light posts and signs, etc. We are removing this window and instead now using multiple LOS checks to make sure the small LOS blockers are still not a problem. In addition to this, we’re speeding up the update rate of her hacking so that it is more responsive in checking for these fail conditions. The combination of these things means it should be much more reasonable to respond to a hack targeting you.

The intent of all of her recent changes is still to increase her overall strength and viability. We’re keeping a close eye on her to make sure she lands in a good place.

The leak is confirmed. There’s a devpost stating it. The only bad part about is the 2s CD on hack interruption, that’ll be what puts her back as a low-tier pick.

Also since this is apparently the trend, I’d prefer a nice peach.

[Abeille-11794]

I would prefer lemon to be honest.

[DoomByCookie-1849]

Hmmmm lemon !

[oinker-11614]

i dont want the world to smell like every high school bathroom full of kids juuling. please god no

[NooneSpecial-6649]

I’m more of a coffee guy.

[DoomByCookie-1849]

Caffeinated air O.o how would you sleep?

[jdr61100-1943]

Lemon does sound better…

Though i might prefer vanilla and peach or something like that.

[Mbrace-11950]

That doesn’t mean they’re allergic to things that smell like it. I mean, would they be allergic to strawberry scented lotion? Probably not.

[Xiao-21426]

Blasphemy.

[Reaper-112201]

No, what’s blasphemy is that people like fruit-flavored ice cream. THIS IS A SPICE-ONLY FORUM.

[Winddragon-11587]

I’m not sure I’d enjoy living in a world where the air smelled like strawberries

sounds like a nightmare to me

[Abeille-11794]

We would get used to it and never actually smell the smelly smell of our air.

What if our air does smell weird and we don’t know because we are used to it? Maybe an alien would find it smelly.

[Deoxys-11110]

Edit: Oops someone already posted it but yeah the leak is confirmed
