Fun lore fact for you guys: Hazard can wall climb because he trained with the shimadas as a child, nevermind the fact that they'll later reveal he's ~10 years younger than them.
Just realized the slash gives you an extra tiny jump, which means you can do a triple jump with a jump, leap, and slash… oh, they’re gonna go crazy with making him a parkour map.
Add the fact you can wall clim again after the leap AND you put your spike wall everywere .The man can just climb>Leap to a wall> spike the wall as he leap so he can stay high up> Climb to get height> Leap again > Climb again to hit whatever highground
That’s because it is. Everyone just overreacted because they expected a “mutant” looking tank, which would’ve been cool, but his design isn’t inherently “bad” it was just the reaction of the result not matching the expectation that the fans created imho.
@@cristianjim8561 I always thought overwatch should have more non human or extraterrestrial or just weird yet cool looking characters sort of like roadhog or at least junkrat, I've been getting kinda dissapointed by characters like sojourn, kiriko and maybe even juno, especially with juno, there's so much more potential to make her into some cool alien human hybrid but nah she's just a woman in a space suit, not totally bad but could've been so much better
Don't hold onto hope. Remember mauga used to be the orisa counter because burn could let her be crit, but then for whatever reason blizzard removed it. They'll probably do that here since that would mean giving counterplay to one of the big 3 tanks, and we can't have a meta where one of the big 3 aren't good.
I feel like Hazard highlights the best experiences of tank characters. The small movement techs, the synergy between the abilities for combos. He really seems to have that expression you’d find in a Winston, Doom or Queen.
Reminds me of old doom, actually the main reason why I left OW2 was bc doom is no longer dps, and they removed a bunch of tech. But this character seems really fun and maybe I’ll come back :D
this is pretty much an alt version of doomfist lol. the leap, the block and even the gun are pretty much alternative versions of doomfist's abilities. i'm not complaining tho, hazard looks really fun, but the similarities are kinda hilarious
@@eliasmartinezjr.6517Scot’s never call themselves British, some English do but not scots, yeah the island is called Britain but who decided that? I bet the Scot’s never had any say in it
In my opinion, he’s really fun. There’s a combo you can do where you shoot + slash + shoot, does a good amount of damage to most squishies. I don’t think he’s perfect though, I feel like his leap should have *a bit* more velocity to it, kinda like Winston’s jump. I also think his gun should do just a tad bit more damage, feels kinda weak to use.
you're right i played a couple of games his shotgun is kinda weak since this hero is gonna be climbing all over the place he needs some damage from a distance right now its like having junkerqueen's shotgun but noticeably weaker
i like that he is more of a close range hero, he shouldnt be able to shoot far considering his kit is close range, and he can already destroy almost anyone without armor

@@egel7736The animation was decent but this is overwatch we are talking about so in comparison to previous animations they have given us it was really weak. They have never avoided showing a fight scene like that to such a degree.
@@lesliejacoby9137well I’m the animators defence they are an entirely new team as the last was let go earlier this year. (Or atleast I hope this is the reasoning and the new animation team didn’t have as much time or funding to make a full combat scene). But that’s also just a guess so either could be entirely correct.
After playing against Hazards all day today as support, it's REALLY easy to dodge his ult as Juno, his cast time is so long you can just hyper ring or glide out of its hitbox zone
Yeah. Also when u died as him I got a tip that his block reduces damage taken and blocks headshots. So if widow grapples away and tries to put a bullet in your head just block and it'll count as a body shot ig
That’s the 1st person animation rig. When they animate in 1st person they only use the body parts that are visible on the screen instead of using the whole model and waste resources.
This may be a little too much of a suggestion, but I would love if Hazard could launch himself up with his beta mei wall. I’d love for the ability to launch yourself forward and leap for extra momentum.
You can block in the leap which is crazy. And you can even do the slash at the end still. So you can leap towards people while doing tick damage to them and still melee them.
You can climb his crystal Boulder or place it under yourself. If you need more height, it also seems to be unbreakable. You can also shoot the Boulder while leaping with his shift ability ❤
@meganek0597 ah must have been the fact I was testing with the shooting enemy dummies in the range. I didn't really think about the fact they did no damage. I saw no cracks and assumed it was indestructible my bad
11:20 You can actually get up that really tall wall you wanted to climb. You can start a wall climb, then use the leap and climb again. You can get around the same amount of height as genji does with double jump and wall climb.
The spike wall also damage when it boops but both effects have an internal cooldown. If you go against the wall, get booped and go back again it doesn't boop u and damage u right away. Also if u hold the wall ability it projects a hologram on where it will create it
The wall is not as big, isnt as durable and doesnt last nearly as much as mei's, plus he cant place them on ledges that he has no direct line of sight. The wallclimb is not nearly as good as the shimada one either, so stop spreading missinformation
I've been playing all day He's surprisingly fair and feels a bit honest If he kills you, either A he used multiple buttons to confirm it or B you were out of position If he needs a nerf, remove the Ammo regen from block If he needs a buff maybe a slight fire rate buff or something nothing crazy

@@D-Doc-C he's really easy to kill is the issue.. The armor gives him survivability since he has nothing to actually protect himself outside his block, but even then it's cooldown fluctuates depending on usage

Feels pretty nice tbh and reminds me of Lucio's jumps around corners and stuff. If you've done some Lucio or perhaps Doom you'll love it. Combine that with the bunnyhop slash and
after seeing the cooldown of violent leap my league of legends bonobo brain saw a difficult but nasty cc chain this hero can do all by himself. the start of the chain would be a 90°-180° mid air swing from violent leap into downpour, then you use the wall to knock them back to you, and by this point violent leap should be off cooldown allowing you to knock them back into the wall for another potential knock back. this would probably be for the tank or the supports since dps will likely not be able to survive the full chain without resource dumping edit: for clarity the angle of downpour will be in such a way that forces them to walk into the cc or to walk into your team while also forcing the enemy team to disengage. so prolly a 50° angle turn for the 90° slash and 150°-170° for the 180° slash (potentially, I'm not sure of the exacts but it will be dependent on where the fight breaks out of course)
His face looks like a placeholder for the final model i cant 😭😭 i think they designed the body, the face, personality and voice with different people, locked them in separate rooms without communication to see what they came up with
@12:45 I don't think the wall boops people more than once. What happened there was that the bot didn't have a place to spawn because of the wall so it spawned kinda on the wall and slided out of bounds. It was your wall yes, but not the boop itself.
@21:18 and onward, part of the main reason these combos even work IS because it keeps booping. There’s even a different timestamp where Pharah just goes into it and gets booped without Flats doing anything to them(in case you think it’s because of the Slash).
this genuinely looks so annoying to play against. this has been a problem for me with OW2, every character *has* to have mobility, has to have CC, has to be "new player friendly". its just annoying. The Sigma ult change made me hate playing this game because, no, it shouldnt go through walls, and neither should this.
You can make a wall behind them whilst you're leaping, knocking them towards your slash which will throw them back into the wall and back towards your melee
Dive tank potential is insane. Also I think you should remember you can climb way higher if you set up a jagged wall on a wall to use as a vantage point
I do have to say. With 6 v 6 potentially coming back, Orisa spin + Hazard, Doom Meteor + Hazard, Dva Bomb + Hazard...... Tank combos are looking crazy. Not to mention the Aoe Offensive Dps ults. They already work well with mauga lock, but now mauga doesnt need to be stuck with the enemies. Hanzo Dragons/ pharah Barrage/ Junkrat Wheel looking crazy.
Will say this while i was trying Hazard out. I found out that you can hold his block and do damage while in his leap. It also gives more time to hit his slash and melee combo. I find this to be good against other tanks with no shield or squishy dps/support.
spike guard looks like a delightful new "please sleep me" button
As a recent DF main, all you have to do is pop a lethal dose of Adderall and watch for every enemy's CC before going in

@12:45 I don't think the wall boops people more than once. What happened there was that the bot didn't have a place to spawn because of the wall so it spawned kinda on the wall and slided out of bounds. It was your wall yes, but not the boop itself.
@21:18 and onward, part of the main reason these combos even work IS because it keeps booping. There’s even a different timestamp where Pharah just goes into it and gets booped without Flats doing anything to them(in case you think it’s because of the Slash).
The wall applies continuous knockback and damage as long as it's up if you touch it, but you probably already know this by now
As a Doom player, I'm super excited for this guy when I get off work
Hope he has alternate skins. Not a fan of his default look
God speed on the actual 6v6 play test. It’s gonna be bananas
this genuinely looks so annoying to play against. this has been a problem for me with OW2, every character *has* to have mobility, has to have CC, has to be "new player friendly". its just annoying. The Sigma ult change made me hate playing this game because, no, it shouldnt go through walls, and neither should this.
Another bronze take, whining over NOTHING
Oh no i got hit through a wall (not like he can capitalize off of that...)
You can make a wall behind them whilst you're leaping, knocking them towards your slash which will throw them back into the wall and back towards your melee
"We're making OW2 where there's less cc." -Blizzard 2022. Love how we went from having less cc in OW to more cc in OW.
1:47 someone on reddit called it "offense matrix" and i think that is accurate
15:15 I fell off my chair laughing
Dive tank potential is insane. Also I think you should remember you can climb way higher if you set up a jagged wall on a wall to use as a vantage point
Feels like a brawl Winston pretty fun tank
Solid tank addition, the wall climb and mantle really sold it, bro has insane agency
Shift click - Left Mouse Click - Shift Click looks strong
I do have to say. With 6 v 6 potentially coming back, Orisa spin + Hazard, Doom Meteor + Hazard, Dva Bomb + Hazard...... Tank combos are looking crazy. Not to mention the Aoe Offensive Dps ults. They already work well with mauga lock, but now mauga doesnt need to be stuck with the enemies. Hanzo Dragons/ pharah Barrage/ Junkrat Wheel looking crazy.
15:36 10+ seconds of flats being too stunned to speak
Can't wait for the new season, the animation of the needles looks badass on the block, for sure adding him to my list of heros I play
SOMEONE HELP how have I already faced him? He ain’t even out yet I don’t have him on my board and faced him
his ult is litterally a bigger earthshatter that goes through walls, but the enemies can shoot back
Got a combo for you guys. you can shoot and block during his slash, so shoot, jump (with the ability) block, shoot, slash.
He feels physically based off one of the Stoltman Brothers (Worlds Strongest Man competitors).
Will say this while i was trying Hazard out. I found out that you can hold his block and do damage while in his leap. It also gives more time to hit his slash and melee combo. I find this to be good against other tanks with no shield or squishy dps/support.
I saw someone else do this but if you trap someone inside the cristal wall thing it can kill them instantly
