We got some reverted

[NighthAwk-13514]

Agreed. The changes they’re proposing are not even remotely good enough.

[GreyFalcon-11737]

with an hour on sombra maybe. But there is no point in nerfing her so hard when she is already rock bottom, only to give her unneeded buffs

Oh, I just meant the partial reverts you said sound reasonable.

[rawhburt-1154]

Sorry for giving attitude to you then. I thought you were trying to argue or something dude. At least you agree.

[Metaspy-1647]

My issue is that her teleporter deployable is the only deployable in game that is not destructible.
Even if they just give it 50 hp or 100 hp, it should be able to be destroyed instead of having to be camped.

I have a strong “every hero in the game should be viable” bias.

@GeoffGoodman

We have another round of Sombra changes coming to the PTR soon as well. This is what is coming:

• Reverting the detection radius from 4 to 2.
• You no longer need to look at the translocator to destroy it, you can now just hit the interact button and it will be destroyed. If you’re standing on a Symmetra teleporter hitting interact will only teleport you to Symmetra’s other teleporter, rather than destroying your translocator.
• Dramatically lowered the enemy sound cue for the translocator location. You need to be nearly standing right on it now to hear it.
• EMP now works on Wrecking Ball Minefield, disabling the mines for 10s
• You can now interrupt reload by hacking.

We’re still evaluating the changes overall, but shes unlikely to regain the ability to contest objectives or have +75% move speed while invisible. The goal of these changes is to make her stronger overall, even if it means being slightly weaker in some areas.

I was thinking the same thing… all she need is her 75% speed increase back.

[rawhburt-1154]

I still disagree that it should be destructible, but i do think that if they want to keep it destructible then she needs her with way more than 5hp.

[Metaspy-1647]

EMP now works on Wrecking Ball Minefield, disabling the mines for 10s

what the flapjack?
Those mines are easily destroyed, why make someone just hit one button and wipe them all out?

Edit: Her ult doesn’t hack junkrat’s mine, trap or riptire… nor does it hack widow’s mine, or soldiers healing field.
This seems like a bad decision.

[mysaeron-1439]

totally agree. the movement speed nerf and the fact that enemies can destroy your translocater are the only things i don’t like. kinda overkill, tbh. the radius nerf and the loud a$$ screeching the translocater brings (allowing enemies to easily find your locator and camp it to kill you) are enough.

[rawhburt-1154]

I love that.

It feels like walking in quicksand, and her slowed animation makes it feel worse.

[Somvra-1200]

Exactly, that is why she need her speed back.

[rawhburt-1154]

. the radius nerf and the loud a$$ screeching the translocater brings (allowing enemies to easily find your locator and camp it to kill you) are enough.

They reverted the radius nerf and the translocator is supposedly much quieter. I still don’t like her translocator being destroyed and her being slow though. But i hope the screeching is gone.

[Garret-21246]

Revert her ALL

[HongKongNo1-3302]

Huh? What I saw was when they said it will be hard to find and easier to relocate. Plus speed will still be 50.
Are there more feedbacks?

[mysaeron-1439]

ugh, so that means they’re keeping her movement speed and destroyable translocator nerf? those are like the worst nerfs out of all them, especially the movement speed.

i guess the fact that enemies can destroy your translocator isn’t that bad if they made it quieter, i guess.

[HongKongNo1-3302]

I dont see it being that bad. Ult vs ult isnt a balance issue. And nullifying would help heros like reaper erase them without getting hit

[rawhburt-1154]

She can interrupt her reload with hack
The radius is back to 2m from 4m
Her translocator is MUCH quieter.
That’s all

It just seems like they are countering wrecking ball before he even is released to live

[rawhburt-1154]

every hero needs counterplay

[Metaspy-1647]

every hero needs counterplay

he has plenty already - JR, Reaper, Pharah and Hanzo all eat him alive. One of his saving graces was his ult. Now his ult is 100% turned off by sombra just hitting R. Bad enough he loses his shield, now he loses his damage too.
