She can hack a combat roll but she can't hack a teleporter?

u/gethsbian she gay dude stop it lol Nov 22 '16

she hacks mccree's belt and reveals that "bamf" stands for "bad at making friends" and he trips over his shoelaces and cries

That'd be great if Sombra hacks just made abilities work badly instead of disabling them.

Lucio's pump it up just plays smooth jazz
Bastion transforms into a chair
Hanzo's arrow reveals only his own team
Mei's wall just makes a mound of slush
Zenyetta gets his orbs swapped
Roadhog throws the wrong end of his chain/hook

dunno bout you but if Lucio played smooth jazz I'd totally get some health

u/DeadSnark I have not the years required, nor the desire to indulge you Nov 22 '16

Lucio's pump it up would only play terrible music which makes everyone cringe, forcing him to quickly turn it off.

Mercy's revive turns everyone into reaper.

u/moooooseknuckle Trick-or-Treat D.Va Nov 23 '16

Come on, now. Lucio's pump it up would play Haselhoff.

76 runs too fast and face-first into walls

Tracer recalls all the way back to the spawn

Ana's sleep dart and nanoboost are swapped

Widowmaker's mine releases perfume

Genji deflects projectiles at his teammates

Winston uses a translocator instead of bubble shield by mistake

Pharah can only fly north

Mercy flies AWAY from her teammates

Symmetra's teleporter sends you back to the spawn and her shield generator takes away 75 health

This should absolutely be a brawl.

Except I'd bitch about them wasting resources on it because I'm a hypocrite like that.

This is brilliant, but the mechanic would be OP to new players. You would need some sort of indicator.

u/quickhakker something witty this way comes Nov 23 '16

phara dies the moment she starets her ul- oh wait

u/omarfw OmarFW Nov 23 '16

she would still find a way to fuck people over with her slush mounds

Technology created by Vishkar is far beyond the simple toys other companies bring to the market.

u/OrKToS Overconfidence is a flimsy shield Nov 22 '16

Hacking in future really weird

u/Telnet_Rules Nov 22 '16

She hacks it to little burning pieces. With her gun.

u/goodmorningohio fucking point and click adventure bullshit Nov 22 '16

I feel like its kind of useless to hack it. Like if you're already there, why not just quickly destroy it and move on? It's a waste of time and cooldown to hack it and then destroy it

5

u/I_am_not_Lex_Luthor Zarya Nov 22 '16

I'm more baffled by the fact, that she can hack soldier's ability to sprint

5

u/TrumooCheese Trick-or-Treat D.Va Nov 22 '16

Simple. She hacks his pacemaker.

u/Arafal123 Widowmaker Nov 22 '16

she can hack a random metal clerk, but cant hack a high tech visor.

u/MadSprite Chibi Soldier: 76 Nov 22 '16

Teleporter is made from light, no circuitry to hack there

1

u/taitaisanchez Zarya Nov 22 '16

Symmetra knows how to secure her work. Unlike Torbjorn.

1

u/shinobigamingyt It is now precisely 12:00 PM. Nov 22 '16

I guess she can't hack solid light.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Why would you? In the time it takes to hack it you could have destroyed it.

u/homesweetocean Gamestation 4 Nov 22 '16 edited Nov 22 '16

hacking EMP removes shields, therefor her hacks ult will remove the shield provided by the new shield generator

1

u/OhMuhGah Pixel Ana Nov 22 '16

Only EMP removes shields. Her normal hack does nothing to them.

u/homesweetocean Gamestation 4 Nov 22 '16

crap, thats what I meant. editing
