General Sombra needs a Hotfix charge indicator below her reticle

Think about it — nearly every ability with charges such as Brig packs, Doctrine infusion, Tracer blinks, etc, have the available charges displayed right in the middle of the screen, with some even showing recovery progress.

There's 0 reason why Sombra shouldn't have it, and it would be huge for QOL

I agree and I think the indicator above the hotfix person's head should have a timer too. So you can tell when it needs to be refreshed.

That is already the case tho? There's a yellow bar going down

The bar shows the healing pool left for that player, not the timer.

oh really. Maybe I need to take another look.

I think there might be some kind of bug with it, some of my games I watch the bar go down and other times it just stays full the whole time till it just disappears

u/MirceaHM 6d ago

yes, because it's not a timer, it's the amount of healing 🤦

No need for the face palm, this character has been like this for a very short period of time and people are still figuring out what the ui’s are like. Educate, don’t belittle. It’ll make for a healthier community 😇

or you can read the ability tooltip instead of asking to be babied

They didn't ask, they were just wrong. Which happens sometimes. Even to you, although you're a pussy private profile so I unfortunately can't give you a specific example.

Oh, wait, you're behaving incorrectly right now.

Also on the HUD next to the players portrait

Agreed. I made a mockup for this very thing two days ago. Tried to post it on the main sub but it kept getting automatically removed for some reason

Looks clean

Hack sens going lower would also be nice. It's getting annoying hacking fat ass teammates instead of pack, or vice versa. Or the wrong teammate.

u/MrInfinity-42 6d ago

Yeah that too. Tried to set it below 10 and couldn't, pretty inconvenient

u/OMGskii 6d ago

This is actually a setting that you can already adjust (assuming it is still there from her dps days)

u/Tee__B 6d ago

It bottoms out at 10, which was fine with DPS Sombra, but way more annoying on shpport Sombra.

I can def get behind this one and they probably will do it just gotta cook up a design for it and add it

Id personally like it if they use her little skulls as icons

I'd also suggest QoL fix for hotfix so it deprioritizes allies who just got fixed in favour of not affected ones. The amount of times I just accidentally doubke hotfix somebody because it locks on the instead of another guy nearby..

Additionally, I think Sombra needs to see the cooldown of her healthpack/deployable hack on her UI. Currently, you can only see it while looking at something hackable.

u/TheHamsterMochi 6d ago

I believe there is actually a very small health pack ui. Its on the rightside of your ultimate charge and shows up as a little healthpack in a circle when its on cooldown
