Sombra

Talon Hacker

One of the world's most notorious hackers, Sombra uses information to manipulate those in power.

Sombra is a manipulative support, who focuses on control and ambushing enemies by disabling them in various ways.

Strengths:
-Utility
-Slipery
-Vision

Weaknesses:
-Squishy
-Requires all of her combo pieces to deal significant damage
-Requires coordination


Level 1 stats:


Health:1710
Health regen:3.5
Mana:500
Mana regen:3
Attack Range:5.5
Attack damage:5x28(each attack fires five attacks in a burst, similar to genji)
Attack speed:0.8
Dps:112

Combat Trait

1
Knowledge is power
Cooldown:25 seconds
Mana:45
Unleash a large wave of energy at the target lolation, revealing all enemies in the area for 15 seconds. Basic attacks reduce this cooldown by 0.1 seconds.Long range.(roughly azmodan Q)

Passive:Sombra deals 50% increased spell damage to revealed enemies.

Primary Abilities

1
Hack
Cooldown:7 seconds
Mana:40
After 0.6 seconds, the target is hacked, apllying a different effect based on the target:

Enemy heroes: Silence them for 2 seconds. Sombra's basic attacks against an enemy hero affected by hack will deal spell damage instead of physical.

Enemy minions: Convert them to fight for Sombra's team, also grant them 50 armor and cause them to deal 50% increased damage.

Enemy structures: Disable them for 3 seconds. While disabled by hack, a structure recieves 100% increased damage from your basic attacks.

Regen globes: Refresh their duration. If they were enemy or neutral, also make them friendly.
2
Translocator
Cooldown:10 seconds
Mana:60
Throw your translocator at the target location, knocking nearby enemies away upon landing. As soon as the translocator touches the ground, Sombra will immediately fade into an invulnerable purple energy and travel to the translocator's position, with practically infinite speed.


(The detail that the translocator isn't actually a 'teleport', but rather 'a dash with almost infinite speed' is very important to keep in mind as it interacts with her 3rd ability)
3
Thermoptic Phase
Cooldown:8 seconds
Mana:60
Gain 20% increased move speed and the ability to pass through units for 3 seconds. During this time, enemies you pass through take 120 damage. Phasing through Hacked enemy heroes, also extends the duration of the hack by 0.5 seconds, up to 1 second per Hack.

(I know this isn't the stealth she has in ow, but that would basically be samuro's stealth so it would be copying and also her playstyle for hots doesn't really make sense to have stealth, so I added this which is kind of the same concept as her ow abilty, but also provides her with lots of utility and has an intresting interaction with the translocator, where if you throw your W while your E is active, when you teleport you also turn yourself in a projectile kind of, since as I said above the translocator won't actually teleport you, but make you dash with really fast speed. So one of your primary combo could be activate E, rush through enemy team, throw W behind you, teleport to safety while simulteneously re-damaging everyone because you teleported through them with your E active.)

Heroic Abilities

1
Emp
Cooldown:60 seconds
Mana:75
Immedealtely disperse a large EMP blast around Sombra, applying the effects of Hack to everything in the radius.

Passive:Upon successfully hacking an enemy hero, remove up to 496 shields from them.


(You might think that 60 seonds is too low for this, but keep in mind that this is basically a shorter twilight dream that doesn't deal any damage. After this fact you might feel like I should reduce the cooldown to 50 or something, but after factoring in the added utility of hacking structures and minions with this+that it doesn't have a delay, I think that 60 seconds is just fine.)
2
Boop!
Cooldown:45 seconds
Mana:60
Boop the target enemy hero, in melee range, dealing 100 damage and marking them for 90 seconds. While marked, the tagret is revealed for 8 seconds whenever they recieve heroic damage and whenever they are hacked, they become silenced for 3.25 seconds, instead of 2.

Sounds great and really unique! I love the Translocator and Thermoptic Phase designs as it allows for a combo or an escape!

Heres the solution to me having problems to make an interesting and fun to poay sombra concept.Props to you mate, you really got some cool changes to what she is in OW.One thing I would change though is how her W works. In my opinion she should not get teleported instantly, but be able to reactivate it in 10 seconds to teleport.If she doesnt the translocator disappears after 10 seconds and she can throw a new one

Nah.... That would make it to similar to Tyrael's sword throw + in feel that due to the way that the translator interacts with her e allowing to freely teleport whenever could make her broken. For those reasons I decided to deviate from its ow counterpart and have it tp instantly. What do you think of it after this explanation?

Schokoscheise (2) | May 26, 2018 12:25am
Okay, that's a reason. I don't think that is too similar to the tyrael, but, well it's a gulden demonic circle. Thinking about it being op, well, yes. In OW she had some problems getting stealthier mid fight, but could freely teleport out, here you got the exact opposite. Having both strengths would probably be a bit too slippery and strong

For her ultimate Boop having an enemy revealed for 150 seconds means a hero like Dehaka can’t gank effectively, so what is over time it only reveals them if they have low health (like in overwatch) but apart from that sold design.

I see what you mean. Don't worry I just reworked it in a different way so that you keep vision of the target through attacks, allowing your team to chase as well as making him ideal for your Trait buff. Also I added a small amount of damage to it for potential burst combos

Looks good like that you tried to make a hero we haven't seen in the nexus.
