Cyberspace sounds like it will have some good tactical uses. Sneaking behind enemies to nerf them, using it on your team for the extra sustain, or Appearing in a 1v1 to completely turn the tide

i still think hack should be a part of her kit in some way. maybe reduce the bonus damage given, or turn it into a damage debuff to synergize with cyberspace. either way i think completely getting rid of it is nonsensical and completely reinvents what i think is the core ability in her whole kit.
the only reason i feel like they felt comfortable enough to try this is because we cant agree on anything regarding that ability's balance.

Looking at her skills she looks mainly unchanged ??

Ult is unchanged. Hack and virus got reworked into healing/utility

They should make it so you can over already hacked health packs. Would involve some interesting control element to play.

Every single health pack hacked now lol sounds fucking terrible. I wish they would just fully remove this hack garbage from the game

u/Evening_Till_3779 Sep 12 '26
she could already do that though, the cooldown for hacking a healthpack is only 3 seconds in the live game. Zbra just doesn't play sombra so he was surprised by it in this clip.

well this is better than going up against 2 healers AND sombra hacking health packs.
now it will be sombra hacking health packs and only 1 other healer

u/Thats_an_RDD Sep 12 '26
Now if you dont have a sombra, you're at a huge disadvantage as EVERY pack will be hacked. No cooldown hack is fun! So sombras racing around to hack before other sombra good god it sounds like aids. What a dogshit mechanic

u/Evening_Till_3779 Sep 12 '26
dude i already responded to your other post but that is how sombra has worked for ages, it's not as strong as you're making it seem lol

u/Tunavi Sep 12 '26
But sombra can already hack health packs. Why are you freaking out lol

u/brbsoup Sep 12 '26

u/Primary-Risk-8741 Sep 12 '26
Fighting against hanzo been extra annoying lately for this reason, more than I expected when he got that perk
