Suggestion: Give White Hat a target toggle by using the change/equip weapon binds

The main issue with White Hat is Sombra accidentally hacking the wrong target. The obvious fix would be allowing Sombra to choose if she wants to hack an ally or an enemy.

The main concern that comes with this is there not being enough buttons on controller. But the right d-pad is available!!

The change weapon binds is only used on Mercy, Torb, and LW’s legacy controls, but the action needs to be bounded to a button for these heroes to be usable. It’s the perfect way for the Devs to add a target toggle option for White Hat.

Now, when Sombra equips the White Hat perk, the hero information should display the buttons. Sombra’s HUD should also change to show the player which targeting mode Hack is on.

Healing mode will show a yellow heal line and allies will be highlighted in blue. Hacking mode will show a purple hack line and enemies will be highlighted in red.

Of course, this is assuming White Hat is going to stay in Sombra’s kit long term. The idea is cool, but the execution wasn’t good. Needs more tweaking so it can be more viable.

What do you think?
