[@VoidOfTheSkies]

NGL, I think this is a more healthy tank design rather than mauga being immortal off a click or hog being immortal off a click, or orisa being immortal off... a click.... The right click is strong, but the shorter duration leads to having slight downtimes (something i think should be slightly longer, or all cooldowns in general for them need to be longer slightly by a second or 1.5.) I think its very well for skill expression and has a lot of self thought into how you go about engaging fights, rather than another mauga which is just look in a direction and press your mouse and fall asleep. Its a very fun kit.

[@Punchbadguy]

Definitely, hazard isn't perfect but he is t unfixable. Also remember that he comes out during the 6v6 trials so they it will be interesting to see how he plays in 6v6.

He also got upset when people played pharah and echo or anything that could potentially counter or be considered a counter. He also had a hard time verse doom when that Spixy guy was the tank and Spixy even asked if he should get off doom. But i think what Samito's trying to suggest and just did a poor way of doing it. Is this tank will be a lot like Mauga pre nerf in how it requires a specific comp to play to Mauga as well as a specific comp to counter Mauga if either team doesn't do this properly it can be why they lose with no ability to win.

Every character that comes out now is "broken" to Samito he used to he impartial but I feel hes almost leaning into the other direction too much, too anti shill, he loves to say the devs have no clue what theyre doing now (yes I saw him react to spilo's video). I think Hazard needs a slight buff to his ult but I think Hog, Orisa and Mauga will absolutely stomp him.

Gotta hard disagree. I think hazard is mid to bad. He’s a whole lotta fun but is easily dealt with. Most tanks can deal with his kit. Shield block ults, stuns and. Eats destroy his block, wall can be blocked too. Ana and zen eat him up. He can’t answer immorts well. I think hazard is going to be insanely fun in 6v6 the combo potential is ridiculous. Grav, Punch, cage. High skill ceiling and low skill floor as all things should be. Def not better than doom doom eats him for lunch as we saw in the gameplay.

[@vitor900000]

He has a low skill floor and a high skill celling. To put it in another way noobs can easily get value out of him and in the hand of pros he is absolutely broken. Different from Doom that has a high skill floor and a high skill celling where noobs can't do shit and pros can be a huge threat. If you found Hazard mid you didn't play him properly or didn't play against a good one. Go watch a few high rank Doom players on Hazard and you will see them completely dominating lobbies. He is SS+ tier.

[@purplerainPR]

I agree, doom after buffs is a solid mid-high A tier, this guy is more like high B ngl, his damage range is not far at all, so even tho he plays as a hybrid brawl/dive hero, he does get melted by the classic discord orb and easily gets outranged by poke

The "issue" you said about the wall placement setting is just incorrect. You can set it to be placed by releasing the ability button, so you still get the preview but it requires no extra clicks or buttons to place the wall. This is definitely the best way to use it

[@Shrek_Holmes]

meh, personally I think he is weak, he is like an inbetween of JQ and Doomfist, being less lethal than both and just being more mobile than JQ and less mobile than Doomfist, he just eats bullets and dies once his cooldowns are down. I personally think he isn't anything special and probably on the weaker side. no self sustain and no barrier and a lot less mobile than doomfist isn't particularly a good combination.

[@davidnewhart2533]

He isn't weak at all.

[@brycenb2994]

Starting to think Sam just doesn’t like tanks. I sure he’s a less punishable version of doom but doom has MORE mobility and self sustain through his passive. Something hazard doesn’t have. I think the tank is fine. He gets shredded by mauga, and all the cc characters can give him a hard time too like orisa, or hog. Nothing you mentioned really feels too oppressive

[@You-g8g6i]

I have more problem with doom honestly , Sam is right about power creep and keep in mind he is too 500 player but I don’t think this will be the case from gm5 and below , I didn’t get to play him much or against him but I thought when dva played well against him , except her bomb didn’t kill him through block lol

[@brycenb2994]

@ ok but being a top 500 player doesn’t make you infaillible. It just makes you exposes you to different biases. Otherwise every top 500 would have the same opinion. And power creep exists in EVERY game. It’s live service. So naturally every new character needs to be different from all the previous characters in some way. I don’t think hazard really represents “power creep” as a whole tho. His kit is fairly tame.

[@gradlygamink1053]

(opinion) Man samito, i could not disagree more, inside the hazard mirror bubble, you're 100% right. Cant be punished, super strong at corners with a strong cd cycle. But I must say, outside the mirror, hazard feels really really bad into some tanks. Rein, Winston and ball are all great examples of this. He can't punish other tanks, he can't solo execute as well as other tanks and he definitely does not do anywhere near as much damage as other tanks. You say he is an orisafied doom but that's just not true, he doesn't have the same threat as an empowered punch, he doesn't have the mobility and definitely doesn't have the escape potential doomfist has. Hazard is too much of a combination of brawl and dive, where he's not good at either, atleast not good enough to be as good as your saying. Where I definitely do think he's very strong in some situations, he is not some behemoth, doom orisa combination who is unpunishable with insane utility and output as your making him out to be (at least that's what I got from it).

What kind of BS!!! Sometimes Samito has a good foundation but this is BS! Hazard has no downsides?! So what happens when A Tracer attacks your backline? You are facing Sojourn, Cassidy. Will you live or die? So Hazard is much less movement/leap range compared to Winston, Ball, Doom, DVa. IS THAT not a weakness players can exploit? Enemies are not bots! Tracer, Sojourn, Bastion, Soldier, Ana, Zen, Orisa, Mauga can pressure Hazard out of his position! Hazard can be spotted from a mile away and due to range lack he can't create space well! If he holds a corner there are enough picks to get him out! Yes, Hazard has no hard counter, Hazard is an Allrounder but it's not like he is dominanting and any field!

[@RIP_ZYZZ1738]

He has no weaknesses you say, his weakness is having no definitive strengths thats better than a majority of the good tanks. In the 5v5 1 tank scenario he's mid with alot of skill expression to be higher. But definitely not op as a tank in 5v5. Being able to kill squishy by landing 4 different abilities consecutively up close isn't that great for a tank honestly. If there is healing involved he aint killing anything by himself his damage is mid to low but the wall is his only thing that makes him good but requires lots of skill to use correctly for the moment. Also his block is around 50-60% damage reduction, no where close to the other blocks in the game

[@RIP_ZYZZ1738]

You just explained why he’s good. He has everything that most other tanks have while only slightly being tuned down. And he can NEARLY one shot squishes by himself. Meaning with team play involved, he’s gonna grow to become an insane hero

His E will push a Mei that has used cryofreeze. I don't know if that's just a bug or not, but I was able to push Mei's that used block of edges multiple times.

The way ive been killing hazard in a tank mirror without wiping the enemy supports and dps first, is with at least a slight tank gap, and going zen, keeping orb on my hazard, and discording the enemy hazard as soon as they leap in. But that’s just what has been working for me and my tank duo

[@FragMaster93]

ve hated how busy and do everything heroes (especially tank and support) have gotten, excluding ults, hazard has a mei wall with damage, a doom leap, a block with damage, a shoot and wall climb, compared to early tanks who had their role and a few abilities that didn't let them doin everything. Supports have the same problem and modern ones can heal and dps seamlessly while providing tons of utility, dps have been spared because they have specific roles and their kits are simple yet effective which is why its still one of the most popular roles because when you play a sniper that's your role not counter dive, space maker, cleanse/immortality ults, tank buster etc.

I've been playing the 6v6 playtest and had so much more fun in games. QP auto-queued me into a 5v5 despite being in 6v6 and I only realised halfway through the game there was one tank and it was 5v5 and it felt truly garbage. 6v6 was just so much more fun. Devs were asked what the game is and they answered with a competitive shooter so I'm just worried 5v5 is here to stay on that basis. Going back to that from 6v6 is enough to make me quit the game entirely though with how much worse it feels to play.

[@d4mephisto]

glad to hear someone saying hazard is pretty darn strong. that was my feeling the entire playtest period.

[@ALMOSTNKKD]

I mean, Hazard requires good cool down combos in order to do anything worth talking about. Yeah he blocks a lot and it reloads, but you can spam block because it's got a slight cool down in between blocks which can and will leave you open. The slash from his leap, which doesn't go as far as you make it seem from my own experience, isn't much to write home about since it has little range, that or I just can't land the slash because I was almost never hitting hit. His ult is super counterable by hitting the pattened anime sidestep since it takes a bit to come down unless you're directly in the center of his LoS. He's fun and honestly just fine the way his.

[@hitagi7080]

Had to disagree here, ok i am just diamond 3 but still, i pretty much shit on this guy with most tank, he does joke damage against tanks cos of shotgun, mauga eats him, rein shield cucks his gun, dva makes him doing 0 damage, hog forces him to perma block, orisa perma cc him, there are tanks that have better dive potential, you can outhel his damage, plus add all other cancer in game, hack, discord, nade, hinder and suddenly he cant play game

[@diceking]

11:59 "man is he powerful" fails to kill a brig with ult and leap. Movement, shields, boops, eats and both soft and hard cc deny all his value or force him to use even more cd's and even ult. His range is very limited and he needs to burn multiple cd's to function in neutral, like you said he needs to be pumped with healing to stay frontline which does not seem very positive imo. Once people learn the MU and respect his no-no zones he his mid at best. Dva, doom, sig, orisa, hog, mauga, rein, can counter at least one essential part of Haz's kit, which is also his kill potential, which is also his survivability, while also being able to solo kill easier and confirm kills just as good as haz or in some cases better. His best property is his offensive pressure, but most of the cast can either avoid it with good positioning and movement cd management or force him to play defensively with cc or tank busters. To give the impression that his power creep is worse or near maugas is dishonest or maybe just premature. Genuinely i think anyone who has grasped Overwatch fundamentals will be able to play against hazard reasonably.

[@heyyou9903]

While Hazard doesn’t have any hard counters i’d say the matchups against tanks is fairly neutral With his block’s projectiles being blockable by most if not all defense abilities or even empowering them like grasp and Doom’s block His leap doesn’t go to far and is CCable like most movement abilities And his Ult can be blocked by defensive abilities that can protect from above, excluding other blocks like Dooms The wall is potentially an assassin Given the right position and coordination however if they have mobility themselves they might get over it quickly And most of the time it can be walked around The 1v1 against anything not a tank is in his favor tho (like it should be in 5v5 imo) as long as he gets 1 or 2 shots in block can do the rest (which feels bad but that’s how it was made to function)

Samito are you high? Hazard doesn’t counter anyone, and gets hard countered by hog and especially Mauga. His ult is also pitiful with most the cast being able to easily escape it. He plays wayyy more like a wrecking ball where you avoid direct tank matchups to pounce on the back line but that really doesn’t work in 5v5 bc then your team has no frontline presence. He is going to be MUCH better in 6v6

[@KingYahtzee]

I normally agree with your takes, but you're really off on this one imo. One of your big gripes was that Hazard ammo auto-reloads on block, but I've never heard you complain about no reload on DVA or auto reload on Doom. There's just no contest in my eyes, Hazard is the 2nd best tank they've added in OW2 after JQ. I'd take 5 more tanks of this philosophy design over another Mauga. Still Team 6v6

[@StoicScape219]

I’ve literally been avoiding playing QP just because I don’t want to deal with Hazard. He’s annoying. I’m over it with these super tanks. Why does he need a wall climb? Why does he need all that damage? Or mobility? He literally jumps up to high places like he has widow grapple. Where does this create identity? Gross

[@OurDarkGoldenHero]

With Hazard I can see a lot of Genji play. His kit just compliments Genji's so well and he can dive with him as well.

[@EB-du3vh]

I knew he was OP when I asked myself “what can’t he do ?” And it’s not much. 😂

[@huckmart2017]

I just dont like their approach of taking existing abilities and adding shit on top of it to make it better, and slapping it on a new hero. His abilities are so overloaded. Why does his block need dmg mit, dmg dealing, and reloading, all on a resource meter? Then he has mei wall, but it also does dmg and boops people?

[@kursna]

As a tank player, I don't agree with you at all. He is very strong, but he's very high skill and he doesn't get brain dead value. This is one of the most interesting designs we've seen for tank since doom was converted. Sure he would be different in ow1 design, but this is exactly the kind of design we need more of in Ow2. Still won't bring me back to the game, but his design is great

[@Yshtola.]

they torched juno with nerfs surely they wont let a tank slide right?? riiiiight?

[@kozmoman1066]

If he has no hard counters then there's no more counterwatch

[@whitedragon312]

And my friends still whine saying Doomfist is "Unpunishable"

[@FXtrtzor]

This tank has 650 hp with 1/3 of it as an armor on top of the rest of his kit makes it a complete nonsense. GJ blizzard! Gotta sell those skins and abuse consumerism, I guess!

[@liamjamesharris]

Hazard has 80% of dooms mobility, a better block, a worse punch, better ult. 100 mote health and with 200 of it being armor. And im still gonna dog on them. And Dey Say.

[@cosanostra4229]

i took a long break and i havent been ranked yet. I used to get placed in gold and sit there. Only did qp in this promotion. Anna did really well against Hazard. I would just camp him everytime i saw him. Nade and dps...I wouldn't even think about healing my teammates until hazard died. It worked down here in the dirt lol might be worth a try.

[@Rift_cz_sk]

Ngl it would be cooler if hazard was an omnic not related to null sector.

[@freddifrosk123]

He might have all the tools in the World. But he still gonna fall to the rocket hammer.

[@jaivettasheem1314]

Gonna be a hazard main but i already know he is not strong since he gets counter by mauga, ana hog and a good bit of the cast. He will be doom but lose if the enemy just go sombra ana cas and hog or mauga.

[@biantoroy]

I think what he's trying to say if Hazard numbers are messed around, He could be too strong. Pretty sure what they will do with hazard since people saying hazard ain't much right now. Hazard also got a lot of ability in his kit, he basically can do what old heroes does. There are ups and downs with hazard. I genuinely don't like his homing ability and his ult basically goes through walls. Personally i would change his guard ability when attacked while guard is active, it will damage opponent that damage him (the more player damage during his guard, the less damage each of them will received) kind of like deflect. His ult yeah, Just Line of sight. Everything else is fine i guess, its just numbers.

[@DNYLNY]

Valid points but we expect new heroes to be OP. There will always be a META so I think the best thing is to build the meta around the new and mythic heroes each season then nerf them a little. Keep things fresh and spicy.

[@Mickeyshere]

I agree with samito, he seemed very very very strong. Weird that the people like flats and karq thought he was turbo weak.

[@icephoenix3302]

I feel like he’s going to be really annoying if your playing squishyish hero’s (250 or less) because of his movement, the wall thing and his tankiness

[@eagerinspirit]

nah

[@JasonPTA]

So many OW Glazers saying he’s not OP lol Only thing he can’t do is fly and teleport

[@Syn4TheWin]

He kinda mid against rein sigma and Dva

[@Real_Nutella]

If you're a doomfist main and have good mechanics, Hazard is very strong. His kid is way too over designed and he does too much. However I don't think he's very strong on average. He can get countered pretty easily by Hog, Sigma, Orisa, etc.

[@654789qwe]

Hazard melts instantly with Ana Zen. Even sombra annihilates him. I don't think he's OP. He's very reliant on his team. He's not a solo carry character whatsoever.

[@PunchM3]

Damn look who was right about the future meta in high ranks.

[@Chrono-MR]

I've given up on OW, they're not gonna fix the gameplay loop or super tanks, thank god for Rivals next week.

[@FXtrtzor]

THIRD PERSON PERSPECTIVE GAMEPLAY, are you for real? xD

[@ryankelly7070]

I feel like half the things you said could apply to tanks in general

[@MRDUDEGUY23]

He's not OP. He's easy to shut down. If you can't shut him down or if you say he's OP that sounds like a team/individual skill issue

[@IronMan-jj2fd]

They need to drop down the damage mitigation to 50%

[@bubbleshoot]

This is nothing new. Blizzard have no idea how to develop a hero. At least it's not behind a paywall.

[@kentlock346]

All those clips your getting pretty consistent heals son

[@ljb5163]

Flats says he’s underpowered and Sam says he’s overpowered. Hazard definitely has a wide range of opinions about him from high rank players lol.

[@Ascendant275]

I'd say Zen does really good into Hazard.

[@lesliejacoby9137]

More like movement creep. Every hero is now getting a movements ability because it's more fun to have one and gives more skill expression but is a form of power creep for heroes like ana, rein, and the rest of the small part of the less agile cast to deal with. Quite a health designed tank imo.

[@Dream0fLife]

the shills are out in full force, W Sam for keeping it Real

[@brycenb2994]

Being a reverse shill doesn’t make you real.
