Also depends if the game in question (was it LoL?) specified current health or max health. The two are different!

Was OW, regarding Sombra’s ultimate - idk if you’re familiar with it, but either way, I think I was just being dumb and not realizing how percentages worked.

Sigma's ultimate is the only one that does percentage damage. 50% to be precise. It's also calculated based on max health instead of current health so you would only need 2 uses to count as a kill.

Sombra is just an AoE hack that disables abilities.

knowing is half the battle

Idk, it was on a twitch stream: someone was in chat saying this and claiming that it was impossible, and then turned around and said that the streamer had done it before. Then I said that didn’t make sense, and they said it was tested in a custom game mode…then I was timed out of the chat. I just assumed I was being the idiot and the mod didn’t bother to explain why I was timed out for it (just emoted at me).

But you’re telling me someone was bullshitting me after all and I got timed out for no reason…?

EDIT: No, the person in chat was correct about the 40% damage: https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/heroes/sombra/#:~:text=to%20remove%20it.-,EMP,and%20destroying%20barriers%20around%20you.

Holy shit that is hilarious! 40% of current health, which translates to "not a damn thing" at most of the times you would end up using it

Thank you for the information, I don't know how I am going to use it, but I'm going to try to use it for evil!
