Will HAZARD BREAK the Overwatch 2 Meta

[@XxDream_CasterxX]

His climb is what winston shoudve been doing from the start smh

[@mariustan9275]

It makes too much sense for a gorilla to be able to climb good. Plus I feel for certain tanks like maybe JQ this could be good too and add verticality options.

[@Dude-X-Perfect]

Hazard stole Winston’s hidden ape instinct of climbing like an ape.

[@DeadshotFPS-l1q]

Hazard isn’t all bad to be honest. However (as a person who sees everyone else play him) he could use a few tweaks

[@RainenStar2264]

I think he's a nice tank but I feel like DVa is a hard counter to him (I'm a DVa main lmao)

[@DeadshotFPS-l1q]

@ respect for dva mains 🤙

[@-.Outlaw.-]

He’s going to get his ass eaten by Dva

[@Beanz_EatsBeanz]

Just wait until this guy be in 6v6 with Mauga and dive possibly

[@Baraka_Maracas]

Mauga is more of a brawler and with 2 tanks I see him getting destroyed. Hazard with Winston or wrecking ball I’m terrified of

[@CuzzieGaming]

this is why 6v6 gunna be terrible lol

[@GungaBunga3000]

@@Baraka_Maracas piledriver + slash kinda deadly ye.

[@Fairy-Uvinq]

He needs atleast a slight dmg boost to his gun tbh. Specially considering he needs to be extremely close to do any dmg. He have an insanely hard time if you team is iffy because his range is so limited and you can't just jump in and get focused down by the entire team because they don't care about the others. He's too dependant on his team. Mind, he IS an excellent hunter when the team can get them somewhat low but trying to do that yourself is a very uphill battle if your team isn't helping that much

[@Jae_JETT]

This is my issue with him. Hes extremely team oriented and they have pushed this game so far from needing coronation its insane. He feels out of place.

[@KaiCyan-su1er]

Ya his weak primary dmg and needing to be close is a reason I think spike guard does some decent, all tho it could use a slower fire rate or dmg

[@VYNYL_Music]

I have to agree. Just having not a whole lot of good damage up until you get close to your enemy just leaves you to be a sitting duck until you can get in. That said, considering him to be more team oriented is honestly healthier than just a complete independent machine of character (ahem hog/mauga) and I feel more heroes should somewhat rely on that aspect of the game’s core identity of team play. One other thing I want to add for tweaks would be to his block because considering it blocks 75% damage and I can shoot back a decent amount of damage is kind of insane and someone playing hazard can just straight up go in, block a bit and get back with almost no repercussions.

[@ohbrotherthisguystinks-b8i]

I think the reason his gun does such weak damage si cause y'know... he's jumpin right infront of your ass then shooting you in the head

[@Omnicron800]

I feel like they’ve tried to really orient his killing power evenly across his leap block and gun any combo of those I have found kills squishies extremely effectively

[@cristhianrosado6900]

I don’t play tank at all and whenever i do i play queen but these guy has been super fun for me.

[@Winged_katt]

I absolutely love hazard! I love his personality, accent and voice lines. I hope he has some cool interactions with other heros. His abilities are satisfying and easy to use. I hope he becomes a popular tank so that we don’t have to wait another 4 seasons before he gets a legendary skin…

[@bramblej1084]

As a Scottish person I love him but I wish he had his brown hair not that white hair.i do wish his voice was more deeper but he is fun character don’t understand some of the hate on him🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MrHdog111]

Why’d they have to give him the Peter Griffin chin 😭

[@frankcarter8789]

Power creep doomfist

[@Jae_JETT]

What about Hog, Orisa, Mauga ... he doesnt beat them like that in my opinion so i unfortunately don't think hes going to be played too much in comp. Hes going to be another Junker queen, but for dive tanks. Shes not the best in brawl, but not the worse either.

[@williamwoznack5312]

As a Rein main: I love putting down the scottish man. AND I'D WIN IN A SHOUTING MATCH TOO

[@cindrblok7948]

doubt it, he takes a solid deal of skill to get value, unlike orisa or hog, probably gonna be similar to doom where if your good at him hes very high value but if your bad hes bad.

[@RhodesianSuperiority]

Mauga also completely shuts him down

[@TheClownQueen]

Im a JQ main, sometimes I swap off her, and Hazard is def gonna be one Ill swap to at some points

[@bennettcombs7784]

they should change his block to when you shoot it shoots the shards

[@GungaBunga3000]

@@bennettcombs7784 ye. Like rn you can kill any 225 hp character just by blocking. Way too much value for effort.

[@T3mpy]

i think you should have the option to either reload your bullets, or shoot the spikes, so you arent reloading your primary AND getting the free dmg.

[@bramblej1084]

1:14 I think he should have his brown hair back not the white hair I understand why he has the white hair but if he had his brown hair back look sooo much better 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥

[@sangoblue9508]

either buff doom or make this guy as strong as him but diffing that mich is crazy

[@RhodesianSuperiority]

Doom needs his squishy 1 shot back, he takes way too much skill to use effectively for how little impact he provides

[@omeganeoz]

Can someone explannwhat hus piwer is called????

[@coldshock5181]

Ana destroys him, he really is just one big bullet sponge even worse than hog or magua who can mitigate a large amount of damage at once better than hazard

[@Fairy-Uvinq]

He needs atleast a slight dmg boost to his gun tbh. Specially considering he needs to be extremely close to do any dmg

[@Jae_JETT]

She messes up every tank without a shield or barrier. My role is rough ngl. But hopefully i can make his wall work double as a shield because annas pick rate is about to be off the charts in general.

[@coldshock5181]

@@Jae_JETT Even when it comes to other tanks have he really isn't that good, if I wanted to dive I'd rather go dva or Winston as they got so much more mitigation and if I wanted to brawl id go literally anyone else

[@Jae_JETT]

@ yup. He’s just not the best at anything. But I wouldn’t say he’s the worst either. He’s just fun. Not competitive though.

[@Fairy-Uvinq]

@@Jae_JETT i think people are confusing fun with power. Right now all he have over other tanks is consistent mobility(key word consistent, stuff like diva have better mobility provided you don't need to constantly use it), the ability to crowd control and being basically the best at hunting enemies down when they are weak. He could use a dmg boost

[@schnoogadooga6720]

In my honest opinion: no He's not insanely strong as we thought he was. On paper, it sounded like he is, but not necessarily in my opinion. There's not really an insta-kill button, and you mostly have to EARN every kill you get, much like doom or ball. Overall i think he's an insanely fun tank and in my opinion I don't really think he's an unhealthy hero. A very good addition to the game 👍(they should delete mauga now)

[@coriganbemis7144]

"Phreak" is the new faction (Overwatch, Talon, Omnic, whatever Illari is, etc.), not his name. Hazard is great, imo. However... Im worried the dev's are going to nerf him and he's fun but just not good/impactful as a solo team tank. He'd be fun in 6v6; without another tank - 🤷‍♂️ every other tank is a good counter. It's ironic that Hazard's mobility is the most attractive part of his kit but utilizing it to dive is not wise so we're stuck jumping around the maps only to move forward inches (which makes support LOS ineffectual)

[@Biba_42x1]

They removed hazard😢

[@masterofinfinity479]

he'll replace it with a new meta, nature abhors a power vacuum

[@2close2sun]

I think hazard needed to be revised a few more times before being released. his design, his abilities, and his playstyle all feel like they’re in a beta state. His design looks like a league or paladins character first of all and then second he’s to much of a big back, his head is to far forward and it looks wierd. Nothing about the way hazard looks screams mobile tank. His abilities are all just other hero’s (specifically doom and mei) abilities but changed just enough to call them unique and they all feel kinda clunky because of it. I also feel like if you were told to come up with a hero shooter character you’d come up with hazard.. his name, abilities, and design all feel to generic. Alright yap sesh over

@@MrHdog111 The fact someone could take their time to actually put together a coherent opinion and you respond with, "Cry" says volumes about your character.

[@hellojimbi5822]

Quite frankly, the well put together opinion isn't very meaningful and is inherently subjective. This is keeping regards to the fact that thought-out opinions are always more appreciated than bottom feeders commenting "cry"​@Jae_JETT
