For almost every character in the game, ulting to cancel the melee animation is possible. This is really good on heros like mccree where you can melee to break a railing before you high noon.
Sombra used to be able to melee, then use emp. That’s gone on live. The reason I think this is a bug and not a nerf is because:
- It was not in any patch notes
- You can still throw tl-melee-translocate-emp for an animation cancel
Sombra’s emp feels really clunky now. It was also a really cool (but risky) play to melee someone at 99% ult charge then cancel that with emp. Here is a YouTube video to prove that it was like this: Ay5JxNrzUug. (put that after v= on youtube) As you can see, that tiny hit marker right before the EMP goes off is the sombra using her melee and that melee landing on the rein.
I hope you can restore this functionality in a timely manner,
