When played properly , sombra can harass back line effectively and stay clean . Teammates who consume hacked health packs charge her ult , the health pack hacks last a full minute . Dropping translocator on a hacked health pack , cloaking and heading to back line for a quick back line hackpickharass followed by a rapid translocate back onto a friendly hacked health pack is a strong strategy that can hinder an opposing team ' s ability to push an objective . I see her less useful on payload maps due to unpredictability of enemy positions . Her ult is close to worthless if your team can ' t capitalize on it . A 10 second emp is an eternity if you ' re shut down and it seems really short if you ' re in the hornets nest and your team is all playing hide and seek . I enjoy playing sombra , I wish there was some more overt visual indicator that someone was hacked or emp ' d so that teammates could focus them more effectively . Countless times I ' ve hacked a Reinhardt or a mercy and nobody has focused them . Solo Q is a huge risk to play her and it ' s difficult to play with a player who doesn ' t understand the mechanics of her abilities . My 2 cents .
