Today I saw an 18 Minute Queue Time for tank and a 1 minute or less queue time for DPS and Support , No that’s a sight I’ll probably never see ever again 😂
It’s worth noting that you can shoot during the leap, meaning you can effectively instant-kill 225 health characters if you land a headshot right before slashing.
You can Shotgun + Leap Slash + Quick Melee + Shotgun or Shotgun + Leap Slash + Shotgun + Quick Melee... In Quick succession to eliminate 250 HP targets. Bonus Damage if you throw his pillar at them before doing the combos.
@@jahagkagau6061 yeah its my skill issue, something ill have to improve on in the future. nothing to be ashamed of and if the mercy copy works for now i think its fine
Because Mauga was in development for quite some time as the devs couldn't figure out how to make his kit work, but since he had been heavily teased over the years and the community kept asking for him, they finally decided to release him like this.
And Mauga will forever be my favorite character and design overall because ive always wanted to play as a talon heavy assault, but i dont like how mauga is looked at in the current game
He was supposed to be a character that uses two machine guns With a weapon like that you have to make the weapon be the main part of his kit Because if it isn't then his portrait of a massive guy lighting up the warfront with two massive gatling guns just won't make sense
Because the devs didn’t know how to work the big machine guns into a kit. Honestly they could have just copied Legion of Titanfall and probably had a more balanced tank.
Don't forget that Hazard's block can refill his ammo. So instead of waiting through his reload animation you can just hold block for a moment to put 2-3 shots back in
That echo man. Aldo love how you wall behind them on that first clip match, freaking use your spike guard, got your ult. Ult at them. And basically team kill. That was dope.
@@andreewert6576 That's just for his ult though right? Aside from maybe getting a cheeky jumping slash your still better off going mauga or dva to help kill a flyer if your dps can't hack it. He normally does very little to them.
@@leatherhead333 kinda, his neutral is still pretty good against flyers because he can chase them nonstop while chipping them down. Depending on the map he can chase a mercy around until she dies even while being focused. He's a lot tankier than Dva and can do chip damage while tanking.
@@MidorixAsukaimagine going into a room. A Mei walls off one exit, Hazard rocks the other exit. Smh a petal platform here. This game is going to get ridiculous 🙄
Crazy that a literal martian with a jetpack and rocket boots can't make it over that wall in Dorado, but a large screaming Scottish man with spikes on his back can 💀
Kind of like how you have the option to place the jagged wall like a mei wall instead of blind shooting it, you can also use the melee button to do the slash during the leap instead of hitting shift again. Feels less awkward.
It's so hard to say how good he is based solely on tank mirrors because I played a game where the other tank went mauga for some reason and he just ate hazard up.
Hazard’s pretty bad in tank duels, but he’s crazy against the rest of the tank’s team. Even with his guard, he’s still pretty weak against high damage tanks.
@@GeorgeWarner-fk2hb Most tanks have okay to decent match ups against Mauga cuz they can negate his sustain from Cardiac entirely up close. Hazard really can't though.
I think part of the issue with your sustain is that you're waiting to get low HP to use his spike guard like how you would with Doom's block. It's much better to think of it more like DVa's DM and use it way more frequently. Like, take a few shots, guard, take a couple more shots, guard etc. Remember it reloads your ammo too, so guarding to reload is better than reloading when you can.
I tried this and it works wayy better, yiu have to play him like doom but use his block like DM that somewhat reloads, and I felt so much more burst-y/doing more damagq and being useful, if not I felr like I couldn't kill anything without my team
The hero design is a amazing only criticism i have is he should be able to boop himself with the wall and make the slash part of the jump propel you a little farther cus i feel like it would create a lot of cool techs. Maybe at the cost of reducing his max hp a little so it isn't just a flat buff
2 days ago, a Lifeweaver in my team blocked my Rein shatter with Tree, and I was so f angry! I had just perfectly timed it around a corner to do an entire team wipe, and the Tree took it all! No one on the team was even below half health, I had plenty of shield, and the f thing left me trapped in my corner to be prey of the enemy even with THE FUCKING DAMN TREE OVER THERE!
His kit seems really cool and fun. Not super strong abilities but low CDs and good all-round to make up for it. Kinda like that idea. More reactive, adaptive and fast paced style of tanking.
i actually don’t think i’ve been this excited about a new tank ever, honestly looks super fun to play while also being enjoyable to play against. big fan of the design and kit now that it’s in the game
one thing that I don't know if I like is how the ult goes through walls (it seems to at least) and how the wall sometimes clips through walls a little. Had these two things happen in havana after the first point. The ult went through the door that's closed there before capping
Really like hazard and his cool techs so far which idk if others have talked about the big one I’ve been using is ULT (not required), before needles start to drop there’s a fraction of time where you can adjust aim during that begin leap Slash, block immediately until almost hitting ground then slash, quick melee. My only complaint with him so far is ult and primary gun don’t feel super consistent but that could just be user error. his ult is atleast easy to counter which I hope they adjust a lil bit cuz id say its the most lackluster part of his kit but when it works it works
i think he kind of outclasses a lot of tanks easily. on the face of it, he's very similar to doomfist, with not just a better block but an arguably better and more versatile leap, plus wall climb and vault for extra movement, AND double the ammo in his shotgun to boot. and his ult is literally just a straight upgrade from rein's, and is otherwise the same in concept and use. his health is also way higher than it should be for a character with that much mobility, a block, AND a wall. and also the wall needs a range cap. but i think its a solid kit and there's no denying he's fun. i think with a few slight number tweaks he could be a really fun tank to fight, too, but right now he's just overtuned and a bit too dominant imo.
By the way the reason the B-hop didn’t work sometimes is because if you jump before doing the slash to try to get some more momentum or height you can’t B-hop after.
It's crazy how Hazard can chase people across the map almost like Doomfist, but his effective range is better because of his projectile speed + his wall, his primary fire can keep pressure on enemies in a way that Doom's can't, *and* his defensive abilities are overall better than Doom's, *and* his damage output doesn't rely so heavily on his movement ability the way Doom's does, so he probably has an easier time disengaging in a lot of situations. And yet, he's still highly skill-dependent. Infinitely better hero design than Mauga.
Really cool, looking forward to trying him.Tho I do think his health is a lil too high given his mobility. Maybe it can be reduced to about junker queen's max hp. The white health and armour ratio could be kept the same
havent watched the whole vid maybe he'll go over it but u can wall in ur leap so at 3:32 he couldve walled behind ana while in his leap to get the 1 shot combo just a tip (again havent seen the whole vid he mightve started doing it just putting this here b4 i forget) the combo is leap shoot wall slash into wall melee block
Hazard is very similar to Mei, just with more damage focused abilities... Has a wall, has an ult that freezes people in place, has an ability that can be used to avoid damage and stall. Either way, I'm queueing Mei and Hazard with my duo when the next season comes from then on.
You can block after the start of the leap and still can do his slash ability, to take less dmg. Tbh I wish there was a way for me to react faster to dodge his ult but been having fun with hazard tho. Maybe because I play too many mobile heros lol.
The main issues i have with Haz is the climb and the rock At least on Console, his climb feels really jank. Its like his hitbox is bigger than the model so you have to back up before actually climbing stuff. His block is also uber fragile, and i guess thats what you want for a character with a somewhat low cooldown, but its 12 seconds total and his block has 100 HP at most
So let me see if I've got this right... Hazard had Roadhog's shotgun, but the spread is tighter Genji/Hanzo/Kiriko's wall-climb passive Winston's leap, but it does more damage Mei's Ice Wall, but it does damage Dva's micro-missiles, but they auto lock and are combined with Doomfists damage reduction ability And Mei's Ult but Faster..... Did I miss anything?
I think Hazard got the smoothest gameplay out of all tanks. You are not locked out of your primary fire or any of your abilities when you use an ability. The opposite would be like Rein who can only use primary attack and abilities one at a time.
He’s pretty solid tbh I never played him but someone who plays dps and support he’s really easy to farm dmg off and team wise he has a lot of dmg mit plus blocking potential with wall which has a knock back and dmg tick rate. Plus the constant movement leap. I’d say this is a good overwatch 2 character unlike Mauga which is just a bastion main tank With the real iron clad bonus and self heal
I think the one thing that’s probably going to be tuned down is the damage reduction from the spike barrage/block ability. Overall the damage looks fine and Hazard looks like an extremely fun character to play!!
honestly he seems to be in a perfect spot right now, then again they did nerf JQ because she was good and fun to play and you cant have both at blizzard HQ
@ Junker Queen getting nerfed was so unnecessary. “She’s the highest performing tank” yeah, because she’s a fun character!!! They were micro nerfs imo but still…
@@TitanKing-v59 I like playing JQ, Ball and Doom so Im used to fun characters getting hit with the nerf stick once blizzard accidentally makes a non boring tank meta
I made a combo idk if anyone else does this. But when you are chasing someone as hazard, dash and hold block so when your midair you’ll shoot the crystals while taking half damage and then once your in their face you slice them :)
I paused at 1:52 in and how is he not just a DPS with health again? Even more so than Doom was? But then again Doom started as DPS. He has Hanzo climb and a damage version of Mei's wall. He can leap like Winston has a damage version of fortify that equats to him kinda becoming Orisa with a Torb turret on their back. EDIT: And I defend my opinion on this because people were like Sym isn't support she can't heal and eventually she was put on DPS
Dudes block attack tracking items as well is so huge for jumping supports like bap or going after a junkrat, breaking lamp, traps/mines, while having a huge damage reduction and damaging all those targets at once is so much better then getting there with other tanks then just exploding or getting ripped while trying to break other shit
6:40 happened as I was typing in the background, exactly that, if he blocked DMG to mercy still would've been happening while it also broke lamp and probably get that kill
If they were to nerf him, I think they'd probably just decrease his armor. Everything else is pretty good if not pretty fairly balanced. If they were to buff anything, I'd probably choose his block. For such a short ability, it's not much defense compared to doom fist or ramattra's blocks. You can just get anti-naded or discord on you, and your block does nothing. The only other thing I'd buff is the knockback on the spike wall when it gets first placed up against a wall. It is very hard to boop anyone off with it, having only been able to do that once during a match.
@@RJA When you have almost 20 years of experience in gaming like I do, you'll be able to determine things like this as well. In his current state, he is at an acceptable level.
Winston Jump Doomfist Guard singular Mei Wall Shimada wall climb truly the most carefully crafted character of all time ult is cool actual character design eh

Nah you can see in the kill feed, he smacked it with the shift

my current favorite moment i had with Hazard was knocking a solider off the bridge in one of the point maps with his wall. it was so funny.
You can also make a LW pedal drop if u attach his wall beneath the pedal. Once it hits the ground ur wall will break. And you can use the pedal again

if you climb a wall opposing to where you wanna go and then use shift you can get to basically anywhere on any map its so fun

His slash is such a fun ability, it’s like a super mobile version of junker queen’s axe it feels like.
Really cool, looking forward to trying him.Tho I do think his health is a lil too high given his mobility. Maybe it can be reduced to about junker queen's max hp. The white health and armour ratio could be kept the same
I was already hyped for hazard after the teaser in the season 13 trailer and seeing he isn't mauga 2.0 makes me so happy.
Using the music from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness CD battles is much appreciated
havent watched the whole vid maybe he'll go over it but u can wall in ur leap so at 3:32 he couldve walled behind ana while in his leap to get the 1 shot combo just a tip (again havent seen the whole vid he mightve started doing it just putting this here b4 i forget) the combo is leap shoot wall slash into wall melee block
Hey flats. I really like Hazard but have no idea of his playstyle (backline menace, wait and dive, brawl) could you help me
Hazard is very similar to Mei, just with more damage focused abilities...
Has a wall, has an ult that freezes people in place, has an ability that can be used to avoid damage and stall.
Either way, I'm queueing Mei and Hazard with my duo when the next season comes from then on.
I think at 10:55 the other Hazard didn't miss. It looks like Kirikos Suzu nullifies the CC
The preemptive wall at 5:40 was *nice*
You can reset his climb passive with his lunge attack thing , idk if you know that
Once we start the offical 6v6 testing ill be really curious to see how Hazard does cause he seems like he’ll be a great off tank.
echo duping to save you was badass
You can block after the start of the leap and still can do his slash ability, to take less dmg. Tbh I wish there was a way for me to react faster to dodge his ult but been having fun with hazard tho. Maybe because I play too many mobile heros lol.

Roadhog's shotgun, but the spread is tighter

Winston's leap, but it does more damage
Mei's Ice Wall, but it does damage
Dva's micro-missiles, but they auto lock and are combined with Doomfists damage reduction ability
And Mei's Ult but Faster.....

Been playing hazard a lot, very fun hero haven’t had that much fun as a tank in a while
Beware the T-posing Ashe 18:20
I paused at 1:52 in and how is he not just a DPS with health again? Even more so than Doom was? But then again Doom started as DPS. He has Hanzo climb and a damage version of Mei's wall. He can leap like Winston has a damage version of fortify that equats to him kinda becoming Orisa with a Torb turret on their back.
EDIT: And I defend my opinion on this because people were like Sym isn't support she can't heal and eventually she was put on DPS
Flats and jay have the same 3 thumbnail pictures of themselves for every single video lol
I don't know if that would be too strong, but i would like it if he got a lil bit of hp back, if someone gets hit by spikes, from the wll or his ult.
You are smoking crack his jump should be 5 or 6 second cooldown and his ult points need to be increased
10:52 kiriko cleanse the ultimate why!!
am i cooked, flats was my 1st and 3rd (flats two) most watched gaming channel this year...
I only got to play with 2 games with a friend but Hazard is a lot more fun than I anticipated, and I think he's in a fine spot atm.
...was Flats humming APT there for a minute?
Dudes block attack tracking items as well is so huge for jumping supports like bap or going after a junkrat, breaking lamp, traps/mines, while having a huge damage reduction and damaging all those targets at once is so much better then getting there with other tanks then just exploding or getting ripped while trying to break other shit
6:40 happened as I was typing in the background, exactly that, if he blocked DMG to mercy still would've been happening while it also broke lamp and probably get that kill
Probably not actually she still had a lot of health but I think people get the idea
If they were to nerf him, I think they'd probably just decrease his armor. Everything else is pretty good if not pretty fairly balanced.
If they were to buff anything, I'd probably choose his block. For such a short ability, it's not much defense compared to doom fist or ramattra's blocks. You can just get anti-naded or discord on you, and your block does nothing.
The only other thing I'd buff is the knockback on the spike wall when it gets first placed up against a wall. It is very hard to boop anyone off with it, having only been able to do that once during a match.
Got to play only 3 games with him but definitely a cool and fun character. I hope they don’t change him much at all.
Hazard as he is now, is a rare instance of a character being exactly where they should be on the balance scale.
Wasn't juno the same
@@dantevic Not in the slightest, Juno is mid other than her ult which is crazy good
@@number1cheater272 isn't being "mid" still good for balance tho
You can't say that when he's not been released yet. You've got to give a week or 2 of comp games to see where he fits.
@@RJA When you have almost 20 years of experience in gaming like I do, you'll be able to determine things like this as well. In his current state, he is at an acceptable level.
13:36 Does Echo do a Scottish accent when she copies Hazard's ult??
Winston Jump Doomfist Guard singular Mei Wall Shimada wall climb truly the most carefully crafted character of all time ult is cool actual character design eh
For those who dont know: you can shoot before AND during your lunge+ slash. Sprinkle a melee in after all those and you got a nice 🤌 combo
Hazard is so much fun. I can already see myself maining him.
