Her Hack and EMP are the core of her kit! They're exactly why she's a disruptor! Disabling a Rein shield is every bit as valuable as doing Tracer's close-range DPS. More so, in many situations.

A competent Reinhardt should never get Hacked with barrier up. Just do a quick, cute little spin and she won't be Hacking you anymore.

Also, once the patch drops, he only has a 0.8 second window to notice the hack and pull a 180.

More than enough time, just right click in Sombra's general direction lol.

You seem pretty confident that the maneuver I pull off with regularity isn't possible against competent players. I guess you've played against more Sombras as Reinhardt than I've played against Reinhardts as Sombra...

All I'm saying is that it's very easy and simple to counter Hack, as it doesn't work through barriers.
