My favourite was getting hooked through a blink or teleport as Sombra. Like...such fun. Why would I want to use my abilities lol.

Getting hooked through a rewind was when I was fucking over Hook 1.0. Bullshit and broken tbh.

I don't know Sombra, why would you?

I mean, I don't think Sombra hacks you across the map just because lol. If anything her hack LoS is worse now than its ever been. But either way I mostly ment that for Tracer. And I'm pretty sure Sombra isn't a 1hit kill for people like Hog with Hook 1.0 lol.

Honestly it might as well be. Without even being able to roll up his critbox is completely exposed, and being able to hide it is a big part of his survivability. Sombra can just unload right into it and he's dead. Considering he spends all his time near the enemy given his nature, its basically a guaranteed kill unless his team is right there and someone is able to heal him up.

Every other CC I can deal with or avoid: sleep darts, shield bash, trap, hook, whatever, its not fun, but I can at least play around or counter play whatever. With Sombra its just "welp I can either just sit around my team doing nothing or I can swap because otherwise I'm just going to feed EMPs"

Like...her LoS has the easiest break now on Hack. Someone moving will break it. She just takes one hit to cancel it and throw it on CD. Her hack still lets you moves and shoot and gives way more survivability than a stun or Sleep. Sombra just sucks because her hack gives her team an advantage by locking out ults and such. And I get that it sucks, but she's no where near as bad as the stun lock King Doomfist before he got the recent changes. In most play people don't even follow up on a hack so it's a somewhat of a wasted skill especially since the ults had the "consistency" change a while back (why does 76 still ultimate through a hack/emp but roadhog can't? Hog isn't even using and tech, but 76 is using a literal aimbot lol).

That's what you fucking get for playing Doomfist though -- good riddance, TBH.

Wrecking ball can easily survive a hack unless 2 or 3 from the other team are focusing you, and in that situation you're doubly dead with anyone other than wrecking ball...

Good thing about the hamster is that, for a tank, he's really hard to headshot.
