It is literally a device that he activates in order to aim hack, why can’t Sombra hack this device??

One of the worst ults in the game and for one of the worst heroes in the game.
You want him to be even more useless? You may as well delete him and save people the trouble of playing him.

There is a lot of things Sombra should or shouldn’t hack.
For consistency and balance purprose, she can’t hack ultimates like dragonblade, infrasight, tactical visor etc.

It’s a Transformation, that why it can’t be hacked.

I understand the balance thing my point is its a device and thats what Sombra hacks, i wish they would give it a little more justification other than “Its a magic unhackable visor.”
She can hack his legs and McCree’s roll, so I don’t logic is really a thing in Overwatch.

The justification is consistency with other transformation ults.
There’s a lot of things that don’t make sense. I mean, Sombra can hack soldier so he can’t sprint lol.

Its such a simple device sombra cant even tell its a machine
It’s a balance thing.
If she could hack Genji and Soldier’s ults away she’d be a freaking menace…and I say this as someone with a ton of time on sombra, I love her - but she shouldn’t be that strong.
I know it doesn’t SEEM to make sense on a logic standpoint that she can hack a roll or sprint but not an active ult…but the reason for that again, is balance…so it DOES make sense.
It’s not about realism, it’s about gameplay. That’s how it should be.

Isn’t it because it has the helix system which Sombra is trying to figure out? She has to know how to hack it first.
An ulting soldier is like a younger brother that’s too incompetent to play a video game with you, so they watch you play while they mash the buttons on an unplugged controller to pretend they’re doing something.
It’s already pathetic enough. Just let them have their fun.

As the younger brother who beat his brother’s butt in games all too often as a kid, I dislike this post.
… Though he would win the fights IRL afterwards. Maybe I should have let him wim a bit more haha.
It’s still such a dumb ability that ultimately holds her back as an overall hero.
If they removed or lessened her hack ability on so many things, they could easily give her more power in other areas and make her overall a stronger pick.
I love it when she hacks Moira’s ult.
No I like Sombra a LOT. She’s my favorite. But this wrong buff.
All transformation ults cannot be canceled, but channeled ults can.
