If there is icon for ability with bind beneath it on your HUD assume that Hack disables it for 6 seconds. No icon and bind => works even if hacked.

yeah, and in this PTR, Mercy should get her health regenerating after one second, imo that's why.

That's just so fucking cool. Played a match with a genji and it looked like he was going to get POTG, then my sombra came in, chat went insane.
Sombra is getting her "Boop!": http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20751545714?page=3#post-46

Her two other highlight intros are pretty cool, but who won't be using the hack one?
It's just so good.
It's just so good.
It's honestly amazing that she didn't came with it to begin with. Like, you'd think it would be like the one line that should absolutely be in.
Now for a proper boop emote.
Speaking of emotes, I'd love some joined ones like in TF2, although that might be impossible considering the possible combinations of characters.

While playing Sombra I realized that she can been really good due to her utility and is a perfect choice against a defensive type team. If you can hit the healers with your ult you can break down a defense with almost no issues.
The SMG has a decent spread and can tear through tanks but if you have a hard time aiming, it is going to be a hard character to play.
Invisibility is not as bad as everyone thought it was gonna be. It has a delay before you can be fully invisible and it is pretty easy to knock her out of it. She will be able to get to the flanks pretty easy but I have seen McCrees do this with no invisibility and kill 4-5 people with his ult. So I do not see it as a big issue.
The tele is alright, good to jump in a fight from weird spots and can help you back out if you overextend. I hoped it would last longer but 15 seconds is all you get once you place it.
Overall, I like her. She does things that will affect the meta and how people play without being super OP.
Practice.

What why? Mercy and Lucio duels would be fun. Symmetra duels basically boil down to whoever locked on first.
Lucio heals too fast/doesn't do enough damage and in PTR mercy regens after 1 sec now instead of 3. It'd be too easy to force stalemates especially with two mediocre players probably.

Ugh.
Play defense on Hanamura, I have an awesome round as Zen - gold in elims, objective kills, healing, silver in objective time, plenty of assists, on top of that I'm the only healer and I'm just on fire. We end up losing the second point in overtime, no biggie, it's cool we have a decent team with good composition.
Some asshole on the team instalocks Zen on Attack before I get a chance to. I have to go Offense and we can't do shit. On top of that the guy that instalocked Zen sucks ass and doesn't do shit.
Why. Why. WHY.

What if its 6v6 sombras and everyone has that potg highlight? What then?
They can actually do a lot of damage. Mercy's heal requires not to be hit but her gun is so spammy its not hard to hit her at least once a second.
Did you tell them you don't play offense and to give you zen back? idk :|
did they slow down enemy ana's ult voice line?
lol, geeze, on the ptr quick play, you see people just joining and instantly leaving when they come into a map cause sobra is taken, like if you want to play her so bad go to arcade free for all, the chances to get her in quick play are low

How does hacking Soldier 76 stop him from running? Did she hack into his arthritis or something

Yeah, this is probably a better way of thinking about it. I just included RMB to cover things like Reinhardt's shield.
I'm just repeating what dev info I have from BlizzCon, but did we confirm that hack disables sprint? How come two GAFfers on PTR haven't tested this out?

I just used him and got hacked. It disables it.
You will feel ashamed when you learn why half of her head is shaved.
Thanks for being experimented on :b
They can just disable regens though. Lucio wall-riding duels would be fun.
Her passive boosts keep working. Only launch [bound to shift] gets disabled.

Mystery Heroes is bugged and don't swap hero after death?
Sometimes it doesn't change you, probably because it randomly picked the same hero. Best streak for me has been 3 deaths.
So does reaper counter sombra?
Spread of his weapons makes it easy to do at minimum damage to prevent hacks/invisbility and he can damage her at close range.
I have no idea how you could know about the ptr, know that a new character is on it, and not have read what any ability does.
I love the new pharah boost jump it's sooooooo good. Anyone that plays pharah will love it. I do now have to compensate so much for rocket travel time though, I got so accustom to the old height.

Think it as McCree's stun. What ults it cancels or doesn't cancel.

I'm supposed to be studying for a physics test and this is a good way to procrastinate.
I also must defeat Whippy on the wall of shame.
Haven't played Overwatch today, but I wouldn't be surprised if it felt a bit stale while we wait. I might prefer just watching streams/talking about changes until it hits live.

Ugh, keep getting "Unexpected Server Error" every time I try to check out the PTR. Official forums and Reddit don't seem to have any answers to the issue, so guess I might have to try again later or wait until it's all live.
Funny thing is, I'm not even looking forward to playing Sombra all that much. I'm looking forward to finding out what Sombra's counters are, because they're probably going to be getting a lot of play over the next few weeks.

Were you running before you got hacked because I hacked a running Soldier and he continued to run.
Depends on if the ult is a channeled ult I think.
hacking torb turrets should turn them to your team for a while. would be cool
hacked healthpacks should at least lose 5 seconds (or 10) when that sombra who hacked it dies. Having to only hack it once and it's up for a minute is a lot. A good sombra is going to be able to keep that on lockdown specially since you can refresh hacks before it actually expires

Been kicked but had a couple of games with Sombra... She is really fun to play. Any DPS player will love her. She's just so mobile.
My only massive problem is that you can't hack a health pack that has been hacked. So that means defending teams are going to be almost impossible to breakdown if they hack the big health pack and revolve their team fights around it. Ridiculous mechanic.
Reaper might be a counter. One completely wrecked our Sombra team but maybe it's because he's a good Reaper and we are all bad Sombras lol.

I would say yes. He does enough damage where Sombra is no issue.
I think in a straight 1v1 if you don't get the drop on another attacker it is going to be a hard fight.

Really missed an opportunity to test the waters with Legendary voice lines. That was right there on the table for you Blizzard.
Awesome!
Because everyone has tens of thousands in-game credits and its value needs to be inflated, right?
