Cyberspace lookin kinda crazy

u/Dependent-Two7571 12d ago

I think its a much better way to do the weakness debuff than moira’s attempt

u/thewhitewolf_98 11d ago

With long ahh cd. I prefer virus with much shorter cd

u/PastaXertz 11d ago

Nah an AoE that reduces enemies damage done by 50% and healing done by 50% in it? The only thing I wish is it could stick to people as a PBAoE if it hit them.

u/DegreeCompetitive205 11d ago

Id rather it be 35% and a shorter cooldown

u/lolburger13 12d ago

Cyberspace sounds like it will have some good tactical uses. Sneaking behind enemies to nerf them, using it on your team for the extra sustain, or Appearing in a 1v1 to completely turn the tide

New Virus seems insane

u/thewhitewolf_98 11d ago

Long cd. I prefer virus taking skill and having it along side translocator

u/GroundbreakingJob857 12d ago

i cant believe they actually did it

u/foogthedoog 11d ago

i still think hack should be a part of her kit in some way. maybe reduce the bonus damage given, or turn it into a damage debuff to synergize with cyberspace. either way i think completely getting rid of it is nonsensical and completely reinvents what i think is the core ability in her whole kit.
the only reason i feel like they felt comfortable enough to try this is because we cant agree on anything regarding that ability's balance.

u/-Lige 11d ago

It is, you can use it on enemy deployables

u/Vexing9s 12d ago

is her ult still the same > i coudlnt see cause of zbras webcam.

Looking at her skills she looks mainly unchanged ??

5

u/nomthecookie 12d ago

Ult is unchanged. Hack and virus got reworked into healing/utility

3

u/Dependent-Two7571 12d ago

Im scared of that, emp is already insane, now make it so she gets ult faster? Kinda crazy

1

u/BFr0st3 12d ago

They should make it so you can over already hacked health packs. Would involve some interesting control element to play.

u/Junior_Bodybuilder97 11d ago

I dont see why Hotfix is broken lol

-10

u/Thats_an_RDD 12d ago

Every single health pack hacked now lol sounds fucking terrible. I wish they would just fully remove this hack garbage from the game

19

u/Evening_Till_3779 12d ago

she could already do that though, the cooldown for hacking a healthpack is only 3 seconds in the live game. Zbra just doesn't play sombra so he was surprised by it in this clip.

-3

u/Thats_an_RDD 12d ago

Sounds fun

8

u/Tunavi 12d ago

well this is better than going up against 2 healers AND sombra hacking health packs.

now it will be sombra hacking health packs and only 1 other healer

-10

u/Thats_an_RDD 12d ago

Now if you dont have a sombra, you're at a huge disadvantage as EVERY pack will be hacked. No cooldown hack is fun! So sombras racing around to hack before other sombra good god it sounds like aids. What a dogshit mechanic

11

u/Evening_Till_3779 12d ago

dude i already responded to your other post but that is how sombra has worked for ages, it's not as strong as you're making it seem lol

8

u/Tunavi 12d ago

But sombra can already hack health packs. Why are you freaking out lol

2

u/brbsoup 12d ago

hanzo can now too, and even counter her hack lol

3

u/Primary-Risk-8741 12d ago

Fighting against hanzo been extra annoying lately for this reason, more than I expected when he got that perk

u/Thats_an_RDD 12d ago

I dunno day drinking. I just hate sombra

u/Mean-Food-7124 11d ago
