Like seriously, this whole patch nerfs her hard.
Everything is dwarfed by 2/2/2.

She didn’t need the nerfs, but they aren’t that bad

She won’t be viable on either ladder/owl. She may become extremely niche at most.
This and the fact that its 1) not that bad and makes sense and 2) its on the PTR and not live which from past experience is when the real whining starts.
Because they finally did it and I’m happy with the changes so far. I would have prefered 4 sec hack but 5 will have to do for now.

Bcs they are not that harsh but not that easy-on-her either. I have mixed feelings about that…

Because of you would Play ptr you will see that sombra is still a Problem and the nerfs Change nothing
1- Sombra is weak in the mid fight and depends on emp to do anything. The over all ultimate nerf is particularly harsh on her.
2-Goats made sombra viable for the second time ever in overwatch history. Now that we have locked 2-2-2, it removes a lot of viability.
3-Her hack/emp nerfs just simply make her worse and less enjoyable to play.
The 5 second hack change is a good change I think the one for EMP is more tricky. If its barely too long then people will cancel her ult repeatedly with zero impact.
Says poster #3278, creeatin yet another #74th post about about Sombra.
6 seconds of hack is plenty in the midfight, just have to hack the right thing. We have seen examples of single target hacks winning entire team fights in OWL.
There have been a bunch of threads about this, ie:
There has even been a thread on how Fitzy feels about the changes (not sure what happened to the thread, it must have been moved somewhere else than general discussion) to Sombra. So yes, people have definitely been talking about the sombra nerfs.

What’s wrong with that?
What’s there to talk? She’s getting the Pharah/Mei treatment
It’s almost like we could revert most reworks with 2-2-2 mh…odd…
Nothing, just that it’s far from the only post about Sombra. That is all. 
Sorry, I personally didn’t see that thread and thought people were being quite about her changes.
It’s one of the more minor nerfs.
It doesn’t take 5 seconds to kill someone with her gun unless your accuracy is too low to play her or you were wasting your time duelling a tank. It also doesn’t take 5 full seconds for a team coordinated enough for Sombra to be viable to react to a hack.
It will be a nice change when playing against her, but that’s about it.
Hack is pretty hard to get value out of in the mid fight as it can be easily be easily canceled.
