He kinda reminds me of Doom or Mauga, where unless he plays perfectly, hes only as good as his supports. Many of the Hazard's ive played with today absolutely melted when i took my eye off them for a second to heal someone else. He requires a LOT of resources to keep alive if the player doesnt know how to play him.
Yeah, I've noticed that he doesn't have much when it comes to self sustain. Doom has a LOT of movement with both his punch and his leap, and he does not have as much verticality as Winston's jump. He's definitely got *a* playstyle, but it's still something I'm trying to figure out. I'm excited though.
@faxmine He's definitely a dive hero. The closest I can relate to him is Doomfist. Engaging by dropping from highground might be the best way to play him
Its extremely important for game balance that new heroes get tested against sombra. The devs CANNOT have players expecting to enjoy the game when new patches drop.
During stream you could quickly see Emongg degrade from "It's ok if people want to play Sombra" to "Please, can I play the game???" Sombra was a mistake.
I mean, he’s a darkly armored individual with purple glowing spikes that jut out his back that also *home in on targets when fired* (during his guard)! I think it’ll be a pretty straightforward connection for anyone who’s experienced the Needler. 😂
I mean, people want the engagement bait and also don't wanna wait to form a proper opinion about a character with multiple abilities that can be comboed with other multiple abilities, or shut down by them.
@@sergiohenrique3551 they look at numbers and scream broken without thinking f how it plays out in a match he has abilities taht can stop his block but they ignore that and scream "broken
I thought the exact same thing😭 I’m calling him Deathweaver now lmao(not killing the enemies, killing myself by jumping into the middle of their team😭💀)
Was watching a video earlier where someone was complaining about the devs making the spikes purple. He claims its gunna make the heroes future skins crappy, cause its hard to pair colors with purple (he mentions purple with red specifically as an example.) i dont agree though.
I feel like to block is a bit too strong for how much dmg it does and the resource it has but I noticed that Rein is actually a good counter.. everytime I went up against Hazard and played Rein he got slammed into the dirt.. except for one game but that was a game I didn't play too well
Plenty of interesting things coming to my mind seeing this hero, but what interests me the most is to know if you can cancel mercy res with the wall and why the fuck is an attacking cd having a one second cooldown… no attacking ability should be so short on cd (yeah it’s a block but df block has a 8 sec cd)
Honestly, I've tested against a few tanks. Rein was difficult but still fun, Orisa was doable. Even Ball was ok.The real problem was Mauga. He's the only tank I struggled against hard. Doom was a fun match up, felt very even. Sigma was amusing, the actually swapped to Orisa halfway through. Haven't run into a JQ or a D'va yet. Or a Winston. Sadly, only one mirror match and they swapped mauga super quick.
How do you hold his wall ability to see where it'll go? Idk if it just doesn't work on console cause when I hold the ability it still launches immediately
I absolutely HATE sweaty players who immediately learn a new Hero's counters and hard focuses them! Let people have fun for a bit and enjoy the new Hero!
I wasnt really exited for him in the beginning .. and now that the trial thing is here, i just think hes bring and im still not sure why. Plus, am i the only one who thinks his ult does a bit too much damage? Maybe im wrong or maybe they over buffed him to get people to play him?
That play in the 2nd game where he ults, walls the Ana and right clicks... All that did no damage and literally used every cooldown he had. On paper all his abilities sound awesome, even maybe OP, but his damage is dog. We will see how this plays out. He is one of those hero's that in highly skilled hands can dominate, but the majority of the community in Plat and below will struggle to succeed with him...i think.
I think it would be cool if his ult had a secondary effect, maybe like JQ damage over time but a smaller tick rate, maybe unable to use abilities while in it but only for the first 2 seconds, or making you vulnerable while you're trapped so you take like 20% more dmg, or even you shoot slower while trapped? could be cool to see, though I think there are cool possibilities with his ult that were going to see very soon!
@@Bad3abdul Hahahhaha Well I wont play sh*t games so no and no. But I will leave ahhhaha Btw I played OW1 from the first day so ya. Have fun in the pretty much dead game

Yeah he melts fast and his movement isn't as fluid as doom so he can't get out.
@@evansabir1175he’s like a less mobile much bigger doomfist
Which everyone doesn't. He plays like Dva with Mei and Genji utility
Its extremely important for game balance that new heroes get tested against sombra. The devs CANNOT have players expecting to enjoy the game when new patches drop.
this is literally self tilt if you get hacked out of block it's not bad
you tilt yourself to believe its not fun
@Bad3abdul what are you talking about?
@@mr.parker8014 self explainable you are tilting yourself
@@Bad3abdul I respect the attempted clarification. Just go next, bud. I'm sure you'll get a rise out of someone
@@mr.parker8014 you don't want to accept but ok
Have a great weekend
During stream you could quickly see Emongg degrade from "It's ok if people want to play Sombra" to "Please, can I play the game???"
Sombra was a mistake.
My thing is hack is fine you need lockout abilities in ability-based games but invis is the real problem
It's the invisible that's the problem. Which without help often leads to what seems like a helpless outcome.
they should make hack on the same cooldown duration as rez or lamp
Yup that also auto locks. Make it a skill shot like sleep dart and 15 second cooldown
At around the 7 minute mark the Sombra had the chance to hack an ulting Cassidy. Did she?
Nope, she hacked emongg cuz he was blocking lol
I think the best play for the wall is to put it behind the person you're about to dive to completely cut off their escape route
I stand there like a creep in narrow doorways to close it off behind them when an enemy walks in and then I fly at them. So fun.
@ Hazard gets Phreaky in closed spaces
He looks like the needler from halo and I can’t unsee it lol
Bro I’m so glad I’m not the only one! 😂
I mean, he’s a darkly armored individual with purple glowing spikes that jut out his back that also *home in on targets when fired* (during his guard)! I think it’ll be a pretty straightforward connection for anyone who’s experienced the Needler. 😂
They HAVE to give him a voice line trying to say “purple burglar alarm”
I was telling my friend this earlier.
Have a rare variant where he gets it right first try
Bro I feel your pain. My 1st game my team won the first round at new junk City. After that they went Sombra and Ana.
Honestly I think the 3rd person for Spike guard is what makes this hero; he just feels very dynamic between the violent leap and guard abilities
I saw videos saying he's broken but I don't think Hazard is broken
I mean, people want the engagement bait and also don't wanna wait to form a proper opinion about a character with multiple abilities that can be comboed with other multiple abilities, or shut down by them.
I mean, if you play him like some unlikable beast, you're gonna die.
@@faxmine every match plays different sheep
well said
@@sergiohenrique3551 they look at numbers and scream broken without thinking f how it plays out in a match
he has abilities taht can stop his block but they ignore that and scream "broken
Wait can Kiriko, Genji, Hanzo, and Hazard able to climb Mei Walls?????
yep
Non-twink Scottish Lifeweaver
His has twink voice
Technically LW is a twunk (hunky twink), he's way to built to be a twink
I thought the exact same thing😭 I’m calling him Deathweaver now lmao(not killing the enemies, killing myself by jumping into the middle of their team😭💀)
Scotland forever 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Because of the spikes? That's a stretch
That's IT! I'm getting on Sombra and hacking every Hazard I see. No one gets to have fun on Hazard today!
Looollll
-Enemy Sombra
nah just play ana she completely guts this character with anti nade and sleep
Daily mission
Ana, Mei, Sombra, Brig, Hog. No fun allowed on test day.
Sigma mains are gonna tear this guy to shreds
New video title: newest tank hero gets counterwatch2ed on testing
Lmao! Love the beginning of the video!
Found out today the Lucio wall ride doesn't get pulled down by hazard ult
that's most likely a bug.

What happens if you catch someone between the wall and a wall?
Plenty of interesting things coming to my mind seeing this hero, but what interests me the most is to know if you can cancel mercy res with the wall and why the fuck is an attacking cd having a one second cooldown… no attacking ability should be so short on cd (yeah it’s a block but df block has a 8 sec cd)
if it wasn't that long more sheeps online will call him broken
i mean they already are
hes fun to play and play against. I think that says a lot considering the state of tank
I want to try him out against other tanks. I think rein and orisa would roll him easy. After the lunge he’s pretty easy to down.
Honestly, I've tested against a few tanks. Rein was difficult but still fun, Orisa was doable. Even Ball was ok.The real problem was Mauga. He's the only tank I struggled against hard.
Doom was a fun match up, felt very even. Sigma was amusing, the actually swapped to Orisa halfway through. Haven't run into a JQ or a D'va yet. Or a Winston.
Sadly, only one mirror match and they swapped mauga super quick.
How do you hold his wall ability to see where it'll go? Idk if it just doesn't work on console cause when I hold the ability it still launches immediately
it's a setting in controls for Hazard
@bardozan Ah ofc, that makes sense ty!
You have to go into settings for specific heroes.
Guys I have a question can he cancel sigmas ult?
Was really hoping for a needler explosion on the gun...
i’m so upset my ps5 stopped working right as Hazard dropped 😭
Can you pin them between a hazard and mei wall?
you can do it with a real wall, so I don't see why not.
"Oh yeah! I'm uh fiya fata."
13:47 that was juicy
Blocking off the supports from healing eachother in the ult, worked so well. loved it
Hero looks fun. Personally don’t like the design of his gun though.
FOR SCOTLAND FOR FREEDOM
They should have waited on the My Hero Academia collab. Hazard would have been a better candidate for the All-Might skin.
Only if you ignored his Bowser shell entirely.
He'd going to be David Martínez for the edgerunners collav
That skin was stolen from Rammatra, let's not get it twisted
Skinny all-might for regular ram, Big all-might for punch mode
He looks like a bad guy from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe.
Edit : or metroid
I absolutely HATE sweaty players who immediately learn a new Hero's counters and hard focuses them! Let people have fun for a bit and enjoy the new Hero!
if you dont have fun to play against his hardcounters, this hero isnt for you anyway :)
12:38 - 12:50 perfectly shows why this high sustain game is dog compared to first 6 seasons overwatch
Pharah Mercy killer in low elos. also Reins
rein mains sad rn this hazard character fr can do it all wall climb and jump away😭rein gonna be unplayable
I wasnt really exited for him in the beginning .. and now that the trial thing is here, i just think hes bring and im still not sure why. Plus, am i the only one who thinks his ult does a bit too much damage? Maybe im wrong or maybe they over buffed him to get people to play him?

Lol Emongg getting rolled in this first game... can we watch the other Hazard instead? 😛
Alll wall climber team Hazard genji hanzo kiri lucio 😂😂😂
Prefer if the block was in tpp only just like doomfist block
Id rather play against a sombra than a mei
,lmfao ohhhh geeeeeesh acting like you dont know is crazy

Why does overwatch refuse to get voice actors from the actual country that the character is from
The guy's name is conor mcleod, you think he's not a real scot?
@namelessliberty9869 Okay the name doesn't mean much but yes he is in fact scottish so nevermind
Its like they got rid of all the hero designers that weren't edgy teenagers with self esteem issues.
*Sees a punk character* oooh must be an edgy lowlife responsible for the design. Wanker
A block ability, that completely nullifies any incoming damage, shoots back at the enemy and reloads your gun. Isn't that a bit much ?
I think its fine
Honestly so far he seems pretty balanced in the games ive played so far
It doesn't totally nullify, it's just reduce damage income
@@paulbregeault-merel6550 By 80% (I think) And only at the front....pretty balanced if im honest XD not too bad
Doesn’t block behind and he’s slowed and the range is so limited you can get away if you try at all.
Not really a tank, more of a dps
Isn't this just doomfist 2.0?
nope
@spicyunihorn he honestly kind of feels more brawl than dive. he has mobility but the range really isn't that far.
1ST
Looks like when overwatch classic is gone ill be gone, This looks aweful to play against. I cant believe what this game has become...
Honestly I hope people with mentalities like yours can leave our game and go play marvel rivals
@@Bad3abdul Hahahhaha Well I wont play sh*t games so no and no. But I will leave ahhhaha Btw I played OW1 from the first day so ya. Have fun in the pretty much dead game
A wall climbing, distance closing, mei walling+thorns, with a halo needler, and aoe rooting tank. Sure this is better than balancing
He isn't that great tbh, he can't protect his team or block projectiles and he will get rolled by Hog, Orisa and Mauga
keep tearing
@@bigfudge2031 And sigma probably
another throw pick
