I actually think a hiding mercy is a dead mercy. Sombra can use her tp/invis to flank pretty well, find mercy then just delete her with a hack/kill. She'll have no way to escape. Hopefully they make the cues for you getting hacked really obvious. In the blizzcon build it looks like you just see HACKED after the fact lol
Sombra's kit is so versatile that I think a really skilled player can break the game as-is but we'll see once it hits PTR.
That Zarya play was amazing.
Ya took out the gift! You hate boop now tooooooo? 😶

After watching some "normal" players play as Sombra, I'm starting to think she's not as OP as she sounds on paper.
Like...she definitely needs a little tweaking/nerfing, and I definitely think pros are going to destroy with her and make some pretty awesome wombo combos, but I think the average player in Overwatch is gonna be mediocre to okay with her. I think there's gonna be a lot of people who think they're good with her like Genji/Hanzo/etc. but I don't think she's gonna be a game-changer just by existing. At least in the regular, average game.

Just keeps coming. lol
Didn't dev say that soldier ult locks to even cloaked Sombra?

The one on Anne's stream said it doesn't, so ¯_(ツ_/¯
We'll just go with whatever comes on the ptr as what it is. Devs probably confused on which sombra iteration

my new main ladies and gents. xD

lol wow
I think it does lock onto Sombra, I think it ticked Stylosa a couple of times
Most likely. Seems like they iterated on her rapidly so even devs aren't 100% sure about what iteration is in use in this build.

Will be replacing Weekly Brawls.

if i had to guess, she probably can purge the hacked debuff from teammates with her ally-bubble
she's probably going to be public enemy number 1 for sombra though and spend most of the game being hacked lol
Maybe it'll be like the WoW spray and they'll just give it to everyone on consoles gratis.Sorry if this has been answered already, but is it known yet if it's possible to get the Oni Genji skin on consoles?
Maybe not.

Nice, nothing wrong with this IMO, invisibility serves as a defense mechanism in those situations, like other abilities in the game.
The more I think about Sombra, the more convinced I am that they should cut some of her abilities, to make her more balanced compared to the other heroes. The wallhack ability and hacking med-packs should just go (specially the first), she seems to be already good enough with the invisibility/teleport. They could instead reduce the cooldown on the hacking.
Too soon to judge, I know. But still...
Let's go.
According dev she can't. Sombra can't hack player protected by barrier, but putting barrier on hacked player won't remove hacked status.

not to mention Zarya can't bubble anyone when she'll likely be hacked herself. RIP
Will be good way to bait Zarya's into using barriers.
zarya is cancelled
Knowing Blizz there is Christmas event, but being level 100 before event won't do you any good. Next patch will make all post-100 levels require 20k XP / level.
So is Dva.. Just saw defense matrix being taken off through the hack and that range on hacking is so long.
Doesn't hack have same range as Mercy's staff?

Saw your invite. I'm on now, gonna play for a few hours.
I don't know about that. I honestly don't play Mercy much to make a good comparison; however, it looked long enough that you can hack Dva from a safe distance around the corner kind of.
Anne hacked the med-kit right outside Gibraltar while on the lower level (same level as the payload) through the edge too.

the holder of the trombone
So is all there a place where i can find all the announcements so far?
Saw that. Stuff like that shouldn't happen and LOS check on hack needs tuning.
I am just getting back into this game (I stopped shortly before the Halloween event). Man I fucking love this game, it's good to be back. I'm excited to catch up on anything I've missed.
I have a couple of questions.
1. I mained Lucio before, and I heard he was nerfed a little. I saw patch notes that said his speed boost was nerfed from 100% boost to 70%. Is there anything else? He's still awesome. I feel like I'm not getting as much +healing passive points, but I'm also rusty so not playing as efficiently as before. It's probably just that.
2. I'm using a new monitor that's 1440p and I'd like to play at my native res. I have a 970 and things drop below 60 when shit gets hairy, like when everyone on both teams is furiously attacking to prevent or enable overtime. What's the biggest culprit for settings here? I turned down AA and still seeing drops.

I really hate her default running animation. Why does she hold her arm like that?

Information is power is her whole theme. *shrug*
More like Blizz has started to overdesign and skill stack heroes.

Certainly.
For instance, I've been thinking about what character would fit the map of Ilios, and my first thought was a grizzled sailor/pirate (cause Greece and boats go well together), but I've come to the conclusion that the best fit for Ilios would be an Indiana Jones/Lara Croft type archeologist/treasure hunter. Perhaps using a whip to restrain enemies and such.
The upcoming map already makes me crave scientist characters, and there's very many things you can do with. There's the mad evil scientist, there's the regal, scholarly professor, or the eccentric tinkerer.
Some other archetypes - kooky elderly lady (you know, the auntie inviting you over for tea and knitting you socks for christmas
And there's a lot of villain concepts that haven't been explored yet, either. Religious extremist, evil AI/Omnic who wants to destroy all of the fleshbags, Bond-villain corporate/criminal kingpin (preferably with en eyepatch), and so on.
Bro, that pirate hero/villain sounds pretty great. Also Indiana Jones type guy would be fun ad hell I'm sure.
Tweet up Blizz with a thought out kit and make this happen for us.
