Overwatch Megathread

[Regulith]

it seems at least one writer at pc gamer shares my sentiment that sombra is going to be frustrating as forget to play against; she can go invisible for 6 seconds every 6 seconds, teleport great distances, disables your abilities, and does considerable damage with her gun

obviously that's a blast to play yourself, but it's going to be obnoxious when you're playing against her, I'm really not looking forward to Spy paranoia coming back

I hope they do some serious balance work before she rolls out

the arcade is nice, I'm glad there's another way to get loot boxes now, I'm sure that's because people are going to be reaching max level in the near future (I've seen some level 1,000-1,200s myself already)

time to play more winston and junkrat

time to play more winston and junkrat

junkrat's stuff shouldnt be hackable because its so trash its too much of an oddball for even someone like sombra

i highly doubt that she'll be able to hack the trap or mine itself but just prevent him from setting them down for a few seconds

also to those who don't know yet if she gets damaged at all for the few seconds she starts hacking somebody it's cancelled
and apparently infra-sight and sonic arrow can still see her while she's invisible

[Nymph]

She also can spot people through walls when they are half health

[gr8dayseth]

yea dunno why it's not really pointed out on the hero page or in the showcase though but it is in the F1 help screen

[Private McDoggy]

How the forget does that make sense? Why can she see people below half health?

why is winston a sentient forgetin gorilla?

lots more fun facts mostly about the hacking ability

• she can't hack through shields
• her ult is line of sight (has around mei ult range) and kills shields and barriers including sound barriers
• she can hack as many health packs as the cooldown for the ability lets her
• she can't counter-hack an already hacked health pack (they didn't want it to be that you need a sombra to counter another sombra (although it might still be a good idea so she won't cover as many health packs))
• hacked health packs speeds up their respawn time
• she can reset the "hacked-time" counter for a hacked allied health pack (which lasts for a minute normally) but it of course still puts the ability on cooldown
• her cloak completely stops and goes on cooldown if she gets damaged while using it (so unlike the spy she can't just cloak while getting shot at and still have an ok chance at escaping) (also winston can be a good way to try and catch or prevent a hidden sombra)
• she is completely invisible to the enemies while cloaked obviously but you can bump into enemies and body block them so be mindful of that
• since getting damaged while hacking cancels the ability it's difficult to hack torb turrets but you could do it while it shoots a teammate
• you can't destroy a placed translocator but you could still camp it
• she can't hack health packs during the pre-round aka the "prepare your defenses" phase, only when the round's started
• when she hacks somebody she can see if they have their ultimate fully charged (it shows as a symbol above their health bar)

also one more fun fact not related to sombra

• the new map oasis (coming december at the earliest) will have FREGIN JUMP PADS

you could do fun things like deadeye tactical visor and config: sentry on them

woo i need to sleep
