    Sombra can hack health packs which has the following effects

    1. The 'hack' lasts 1 minute.
    2. It denies the pack to the enemy.
    3. It causes it to respawn faster.
    4. There is no limit to how many you can hack, aside from the 6 second cdr and 1 minute duration.

    If you hack a large health pack and stand on it, it's impossible for Winston to kill you.

    I'd go for cyberspace definitely. Also from what I've seen and heard of her abilities she sounds a bit like an OP version of Tracer- as somebody before me mentioned.
    Looking forward to the new game modes too.

    She's not an assassin, or as hard to kill.

    Tracer can one clip supports, Sombra can't.

    While she doesn't have the raw kill power, hack is key to unpicking seemingly impossible defences. Her ult also kills turtling teams...

    Pictures of new arcade mode overview here.

    Eco point antartica (Mei themed map) here.

    Oasis here.

    As Mort's link mentioned, you can get three lootboxes per week from arcade mode - you need to win three times to get one lootbox, but I don't think it needs to be in a row. It looks like it's to encourage people to play more relaxed, because of the 1-hero limit coming to QP.

    I'd also like to know if the weeklong cooldown is from the first lootbox, or the last.

    It resets every week, not a cooldown. You can get your 9 wins an hour before reset.

    Can someone confirm that the Devs have said that they're releasing Sombra as soon as Blizcon ends on the ptr?

    I remember Jeff saying that they'd try to release her on Monday, but it might become Tuesday depending on how hung-over the Blizz people are. I'll look up the quote later today and edit it in.

    I'm really looking forward to the Arcade, sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.

    Edit: In Overwatch - What's New Jeff Kaplan confirms at around 40:45 that the Arcade and Sombra should be out 'this week' on the PTR unless they get a lot off feedback that might delay it a bit, but it should be out "Really really soon".

    Surprised we got nothing on the Sym rework. I guess not flashy enough for stage?

    They mentioned they were working on Symmetra and that's all they said on it. Either it's further out then we think or it's indeed just not that flashy.
    Maybe we'll get some answers on Sym at the QnA.

    ROFL

    In the Q&A, on the issue of toxicity and the like, and people not communicating etc, Widowmaker was brought up tangentially - punishing people who don't team work and instalock her etc.

    At the end of that answer, one of the other panelists rounded back to the Widowmaker point and asked 'so how are Widowmakers punished?'

    Kaplan answered: "There's this thing that happens at the end of the game - it says 'Defeated'."

    Edit:

    WOW. They mentioned in development that, at one point, Mercy couldn't rez ppl whose souls have been consumed by Reaper.

    Edit2:

    Symetra sort of brought up. Mentioned changing her E shield, though only to make it ' fun'. Also talked about making her ult more viable past point A - speculation: maybe a buff when you come back through the portal?

    I am annoyed as fuck I have so many questions about Sombra, for instance, does her translocator inherit your movement speed when you throw it?

    It's a projectile. Why should it inherit your move speed just to accommodate a player potentially traversing less distance if they use it while also running towards it with a speed boost? Presumably Sombra herself retains any remaining move speed bonus after finishing the blink, if applicable(Ana ult, I suppose).

    More on the case of; if you're being Lucio boosted + Using Camo; if you throw it does it retain the speed at which you're moving as a reference, or if you move fast enough can you run past it before it lands if it has a static throw speed.

    I don't think projectiles have intertia, that being said, i don't think you could move faster than one anyway... Unless you're a lucio+nano boosted ulting Zen...

    That being said, while you certainly can use the TL offensively, you're probably better off using it defensively. Set it up at a health pack, engage with stealth then 'recall'.

    Anyway, calm down bitch. You can play her Wednesday.
