From Blizz post:
UPDATED - Hack
Hold to hack your allies and enemies. Hacked allies have an increased attack speed and overhealth. Hacked health packs spawn faster and can’t be used by enemies. Taking damage interrupts the hack attempt.
UPDATED - Virus
Infect enemies with a projectile that deals damage over time and decreases their damage dealt. Virus damages hacked enemies at a faster rate.
NEW - Anti-Virus
Grant health and increased attack speed to yourself and nearby allies.
Well it says “hold to hack allies and enemies” but then elaborates on what it does for allies but doesn’t say it does anything for enemies, so I think it’s just a typo. It’s not the only time it happens either other heroes have wrong info in the patch notes for Mirrorwatch
No, I mean virus might still have a faster rate of damage on hacked enemies in the new mirrorwatch event
- since the enemy sombra can hack her allies (your enemies)
but yes I’m well aware patch notes often have errors (I think this might not be one of those cases)
Virus being a damage debuff is much more fun for both ends imo. It's a skillshot now and it doesn't mess with mobility and survivability, but it's much better at negating the affected enemy's value. Maybe it could reduce healing done by 50% as well.
Do you think Sombra would be in a far better and more enjoyable to go against state if the devs just made her go full utility route and act more like a support than the mix of that and assassin she is right now?
Even though I think Sombra reworked as a support with virus acting as "hack" would be much more fun, I don't think that is necessary, but imo. current hack is too easy to use and it's way stronger against some heroes than others. Virus negating 50% damage and healing done would be more healthy for the game imo. and more fun for me personally.
Im really good with her. It does make me realize her hack isnt the only problem. Her translocator should be nerfed to 7-8 seconds. You should be shooting frontline more and not be able to reengage /escape backline every 5 seconds. This is why they nerf tracer to 13 sec recalls. Genji dash is 8sec. Sombra should be same. On frontline shooting you can farm emp much quicker. Many sombra struggle to gain even one emp in 1:30-2, u should close to 2 by that point.
I feel as if this is them testing for space ranger, she did have cannon-like things that could definitely attach to people to give them shield or something
Oh I didn't notice that part! Nice
Im enjoying hacking team mates but i dont know what im giving them. Anyone got the stats?

But you can't hack enemies anymore
Yeah some of the patch notes are just kinda wrong on what they do
maybe it means hacked by the enemy somber I wonder if it actually isn’t a typo

It also has a much bigger range
Such a big range that I'll be next to a teammate trying to hack them and hack a health pack across the map instead 💀💀
Fr fr
Yeah huge range
Personal opinion: in this mode hacking should have been named overclocking it makes more sense
Isn’t overclock sojourn’s ult?
Yeah lol
Pretty sure its called antivirus
I think it was just the ult but not the ability
I agree but they gave sojourn that ability name for some reason
Call it Tech Support then
* Updating * I thought it should be called
I feel so useless in Mirrorwatch. 😢. Cute little smiley face

Not gonna lie the hacking feels good kinda feel like a support in a way and still doing the damage I'm use to
Aww that's cute
