I really like your concept! Also, your talents are very well-named and fit Sombra's theme. Are you sure she wouldn't make more sense as a utility Ranged Assassin? She seems to be able to dish out a bit of damage. I don't know about Off the Grid at level one, permanent Stealthed 30% move speed that early in the game seems kinda broken. I mean, Valeera gets hers at level 20. I don't really understand the Everything Can Be Hacked talent, does that mean enemy heroes can't capture the merc camps? So they can only contest it? Seems pretty broken to me, why would they contest it if they can't capture it? I think this talent is problematic especially that early in the game. Maybe it can instead act like Sylvanas's Merc Queen or Sonya's Merc talent where Hack stuns enemy mercs for X seconds and they take more damage while hacked or when attacked by Sombra because the one you have right now seems kinda not very interactive and unfair to go up against.

I'm glad that you like it!

I personally think this version of her is more Support than Assassin, because she doesn't have many ways of killing people herself (her only damage options are her auto attacks and a bit of extra damage from Virus) other than picking off people that are already low on HP, or at least that's the intent. She does however have lots of ways to help set up kills for her team and many different utilities.

For Off the Grid, I tried to compare everything she can do to the abilities and talents of other heroes. Zeratul does get permanent 30% stealthed movespeed at level 1 if he takes the correct talent for it, so I saw no issue with giving it to Sombra.

For Everything Can Be Hacked, I tried making sure that the duration lasted a decent amount of time so that it wouldn't be pointless, but didn't last so long that it was incredibly oppressive, but I'm still not quite sure about where I left it. The ability to contest is there to prevent Sombra from hacking a Merc camp while enemies are taking it and then just walking over it herself to steal it. Personally I really like the idea I currently have behind it, so I would like to keep it functionally the same if possible, though I may end up reducing the duration or adding further restrictions.
