Lucio's song continues during EMP he just can't crossfade or amp it up

Frogboy is unstoppable, nerds.

 

[Data West]

Sombra doesn't seem like much of a Torbjorn counter. She can't hack his turret unless the team is near it (which means the team likely would kill the turret anyways becuase loltorbturret hp) and Torbjon could flank her while she's trying to hack his turret or his turret could cover him when shes trying to kill him.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Turrets can't target cloaked sombra.

A Sombra's Sappin Muh Turreet!

 

[Fancolors]

How much of a good idea playing competitive be once Sombra comes out?

I'm predicting Sombra vs Sombra for at least a week.

And Torb may or may not be useless depending on the implementation of his buffs.

Sombra also sounds a whole lot like a direct counter against heroes with heavy reliance on healthpacks. Being Winston without them will hurt so much.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Hacked healthpacks stay hacked for a minute.

Sombra can actually hack multiple healthpacks at once. Each healthpack has it's own cooldown while hacked.

 

[Tovarisc]

Health pack stays hacked for 1 minute.

Edit: You can hack as many packs as you want at once

 

[AngryMoth]

Made a separate thread for the world cup if anyone is interested. France v Russia just started

edit: oh never mind someone else made one too

 

[eek5]

Health pack stays hacked for 1 minute.

Edit: You can hack as many packs as you want at once

OP as fuck :|

 

[Layell]

Sombra can hack a health pack every 6 seconds, and they are out of play for the enemy for one minute.

BOOP!

 

[Fancolors]

Health pack stays hacked for 1 minute.

Edit: You can hack as many packs as you want at once

Shit. Being Winston is pain.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Health pack stays hacked for 1 minute.

Edit: You can hack as many packs as you want at once

I'm going to tilt so many Reapers ghosting toward those packs.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Wow that health pack stuff is insane. They regen so fast when hacked that she might as well be a healer. Stopping enemies from using them is icing on the cake.

This Blizz dude with Stylosa is giving some good details. We 'are not ready' for Sombra skins.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Dva DM can eat Sombra translocator

 

[Tovarisc]

Dva's matrix does eat transponder.

Edit: Wyndstryker staph beating me

 

[DevilDog]

BOOP!

 

[Data West]

Like Ana, she has way too much.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Dva's matrix does eat transponder.

Edit: Wyndstryker staph beating me

Sombra hacks working.

 

[Jellie]

Just realised, RIP Mei wall strats thankfully.

 

[Red Arremer]

I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. Both Reinhardt and Reaper have references to the Warcraft series with their Lionhardt and Plague Doctor skins, so Roadhog having a skin referencing the Butcher from the Diablo series would be incredibly fitting.

I fully expect proper "other Blizzard properties"-skins at some point.

 

[Skii]

Sombra is basically an offence and defence hero combined.

She is the flanker and the antiflanker at the same time.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Sombra can cap points while invisible

 

[Sir Griffith]

I wonder what happens when you hack a teleporter...

 

[darklin0]

Just realised, RIP Mei wall strats thankfully.

Hopefully. People at lower levels can't handle that strat and makes it a pain to play against.

 

[Tovarisc]

Sombra can cap points while invisible

Consistent with Mei's cube and Reapers wraith form.

 

[Alucrid]

wow at france, didn't think they would nab that second point

 

[I-hate-u]

So she is another hero like Mei, Tracer, and D.Va that can stall points hard?

GGnoRe

 

[duckroll]

Any details/news on Arcade Mode and the new maps yet?

 

[Tovarisc]

Hack doesn't go through barriers like Rein's shield. Ult does go through.

 

[xaosslug]

Whaaaat the fuck.

That gun of hers better be worse than Mercy's because she sounds OP as fuck.

watching the stream her damage looks insane for a character w/ her abilities. LOL

 

[Data West]

'I think she's gonna be good against Pharah as well'

she seems like she's good against everyone m8

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Sombra can hack a health pack every 6 seconds, and they are out of play for the enemy for one minute.

BOOP!

Lmao

 

[Plywood]

You can refresh her Health Pack hack before the minute is up, this character is broken on arrival.

 

[Fancolors]

I wonder what happens when you hack a teleporter...

It changes the location to the nearest cliff obv

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Does she get healing stats for hacked health packs?

 

[KiraFA37]

Any details/news on Arcade Mode and the new maps yet?

Arcade (Watchpoint Antartica) going on the PTR at the same time as Sombra, new map Oasis is for december.

 

[Data West]

I wonder if you can stack her speed boost with Lucio's

 

[Skii]

You can refresh her Health Pack hack before the minute is up, this character is broken on arrival.

So on defence, after every successful team fight, you can just hack the big HP that the fight revolves around again and again lol.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Opportunist allows Sombra to see enemies below 50% hp anywhere

 

[Plywood]

'I think she's gonna be good against Pharah as well'

she seems like she's good against everyone m8

He said like 76 is :|

Like they ain't been ruining 76 repeatedly as if each incremental tweak hasn't made him irrelevant.

So on defence, after every successful team fight, you can just hack the big HP that the fight revolves around again and again lol.

Yep, absolute mess.

 

[Data West]

Can someone tell me why you would ever bring Tracer over Sombra?

I just wonder how much they think about other heroes while designing these new heroes. Like Mercy while they designed Ana.

 

[antitrop]

Sombra's ability really puts a lot of pressure on healers to keep all members of the team above 50% HP now.

 

[eek5]

can't hack during setup

 

[Incendiary]

Wow that health pack stuff is insane. They regen so fast when hacked that she might as well be a healer. Stopping enemies from using them is icing on the cake.

This Blizz dude with Stylosa is giving some good details. We 'are not ready' for Sombra skins.

I get why they put her as Offense, but her skill set really sounds more like a support class. Except then everyone would complain because she doesn't have a healing ability...except she kinda does.

 

[Tovarisc]

can't hack during setup

Volvo, buff plz

 

[Data West]

Spoilers

Doomfist

[Plesiades]

STACKS ON STACKS ON STACKS.

PTR is gonna be fun.

 

[Odrion]

the health pack stuff makes me want to die

 

[Kito]

One of the game developers who worked on Sombra doesn't know what happens when Genji deflects Translocator but has faith in the QA team, lmao. (UnitLost twitch)

 

[Rize_21]

The future looks bright.

He didn't remember that in this version you can't hack during preparation phase. They are iterating fast on her.
