@@thenigeldouglas wait, are you saying that japanese people can't climb walls solely because they're japanese? Wow. EDIT: we all know Soldier can run because he's gay. Same reason Tracer's really fast.
my theory of why hes fun to play is that his CDs are short and let you use them often while not being wildly busted and hes not relegated to being a shield bot or tank bot
He not only looks fun, but he doesn't seem too oppressive and still seems to have an identity outside of Winston/Doom. They actually cooked with his design.
Gameplay wise yeah for sure but mauga's 10 times as charismatic. I love his personality just hate his gameplay. Hazard i feel like is so bland and tryhard
@@dustinbiester4401 Hazard is literally just Mauga again. Mauga is extremely boring character cause for some reason every company just makes every Samoan character Maui or The Rock for some reason but he’s better designed than Hazard in my opinion. I don’t know, I just wish they didn’t make him look so much like Mauga, I wanted hazard to be really punk-like, like a rockstar with chains and stuff and be skinny. But this is … alright ig
@@smileguyanimations8776 He's not like the rock at all and barely has similarities with maui. Id argue he's the opposite of maui. (In reference to mauga as a character)
After playing him a little bit, I’ve really fallen in love with Hazard’s style of gameplay. Everything in his kit kinda plays into one another in some way, his shotgun is made for close range so you have a leap to close the gap and a wall to stop people from leaving especially in closed spaces, as well as his block which deals damage and reloads while you’re blocking incoming damage. He really does play like an unstoppable force who’ll dive in and make a statement, surprisingly mobile for a tank too though I feel like the leap should have a bit more distance cus it always just seems to fall a little short of where you want it to go. Overall, fuckin awesome job from Blizzard and I can’t wait to see what the next season is gonna be like (that Venture skin better be fuckin worth it 💀)
I think the leap might be fine, I think doomfist slam and winston leaps kinda conditioned us to some crazy vertical jumps. Maybe it takes some getting used to or at least increase the distance without messing with the vertical otherwise his mobility might be way too good imo
@@dogs-game-too some things don't make sense in OW. If you want more food for though, the punch of a 70 yo granny does the same damage than a genetically modified space Gorilla
Because gorillas cant actually wall climb? Like yes, they can climb trees but they are ground animals 90% of the time (besides climbing an easy tree for fruit). And he also didn't grow up as an actual, normal gorilla too in his lore. Since he grew up on the moon, he has weak bones to sustain his weight that he has to take supplements for ☝️🤓
If you do the vault-leap-vault onto a sliding roof and put down your wall you can stay up there until your wall is destroyed. You can also place your wall on the side of the map so you don't fall into the void, it's pretty cool!
It’s interesting, none of his abilities are super strong on their own, but they seem to have insanely low cooldowns. He def seems like he thrives from constantly using his util off cooldown
His abilities aren’t about how much damage you do, it’s about the combos you can do with him. He’s a tank based on combos and using abilities to get in and outout of and not about being a heavy tank. And that’s actually a dub. Plus so self heal which makes his combos more important.
@ yeah you’re right, hitting combos seems like it’s gonna be huge for him. The low cooldowns are gonna make it pretty easy to jump in, burst combo, and jump out
And hampter sort of collapses over his mech… but you’re almost right!! I had to double check bc I’d never noticed it before, you’re v perceptive!! Good job
@@vasseem12 ok so buildings is a no go XD Good to know, but you can still do the bastion shield umbrella or genji deflect to dodge the stun, me and my buddy did a test on that (we just did em out in the open area of the map)
I guess Winston is old news to them. They are gonna need some sort of crazy new thing to bring back players for a little while after marvel rivals comes out.😂 that’s why they finally released another cool, very mobile hero, that even has a third person ability 🤦♂️ 😅
I don't think so. His damage doesn't seem to be that oppressive and as someone said, he doesn't block heals like Bubble and can't hit multiple targets like Winston/Doom can.
He isn't going to dominate low ranks at his current tuning. You really need to be chaining everything properly to be effective and know when to push and pull. It is really easy to feed or not be impactful with him. Other tanks get a lot more value for less work than him.
I think spike guard should be changed so the spikes only fire when Hazard is being shot, but who knows what this character will look like in a few months
He looks super amazing to play with but i do think his CDs are a bit too short. Maybe just add like a second or a second and a half to his abilities and he'll feel balanced. Not the wall though from what it seems, that has a good CD on it
His ult can’t be blocked by shield (I tried it with sym wall in a game) or cleansed by suzu (16:33), I think this should be changed in the future just like Illiya’s 🤔
Aim you shield upwards like an umbrella! Lifeweaver Tree, Monkey Bubble, Diva Matrix, Rein/Brig Shield. They all catch the spikes. The spikes are falling from the sky. :]
Ow2 abilities are so weird, ow1 abilities were like, normal turret but more powerful, normal turret but more of them, widow sniper but really powerful, rein shield but really big...
I bet any form of damage boost on his block can get some numbers going. Just Mei wall in a few people and have a mercy or something on him to quickly clean up.
That’s dependent on people shooting the block lol, mei wall plus mercy boost makes any character ability/gun look great. Mei wall mercy boost rein hammer. Mei wall mercy boost ram punch. Mei wall mercy boost mauga guns. Any ability combo’d with 2 other abilities period is good lmao
This first look i like his abilitys but i dont think he do to much damage, i dont think he will be meta or op but probably he is gonna make play winston feels really bad
While he can absolutely eat Winton alive, I could also see the two of them being pretty oppressive together in 6v6. But having yet another hyper mobile shotgun tank does upset me as a Winton enjoyer
damn he looks fun to play, idk if his damage is too high or too low at the moment, seems to be just on the sweet spot, BUT his jump is too low imo, other than that he looks awesome
He is fun but very fragile I do t know if is just me but his health goes down really fast I got killed by a kiriko before my spikes could kill her I hope the spike shield gets a damage reduction just a little bit because I don’t see a reason to use him over other tanks.
Live with Hazard gameplay

Blizzard calling voice actor for Echo: " Hey yea we have a new hero. U need to come over."
Get your best Scottish impression ready on the way
I think they just have her voice permissions and use AI to cover it
I’m boldly assuming she gets paid more for the extra work. Echo’s VA is definitely making a fat bag.
@rvgr Due to interactions with the new heroes a lot of the cast gets to eat every time. But definitely Echo's VA lol.
Didn't know he was half-japanese, but he can half-wallclimb, so he has to be
Just has those shimada robot body parts 😂
Maybe Bowser got friends with the Kitsune.

I have fun Shield Botting. All of those complaints are typically an individuals problem. Not a problem of the hero.
It’s as if Rein and Doom had a child and injected him with shimmer
mei too, the ult? blizzard but different, the wall? im already getting blocked by that shit
league of legends reference in a ow video nice
He's nothing like Rein though
@@Enwickote the ult maybe?
@@xeneit also his spike shot thing is just mei popsicle
He not only looks fun, but he doesn't seem too oppressive and still seems to have an identity outside of Winston/Doom. They actually cooked with his design.
Yeah he feels like a proper tank and is able to block for his team and stuff. I definitely think he'll be super fun to play with
Meh
His resource for block charges too fast otherwise seems mostly balanaved
He's a mix of Mei Doom and Winston. Atleast he isn't mauga
Yeah i played against him, definitely not as lethal for a dive tank as dva or monkey but he still has some brute force and utility
No matter your personal opinion of Hazard, I think we can all agree that he is 10x better designed than the last tank we got (Mauga).
That's a REALLY low bar though
Gameplay wise yeah for sure but mauga's 10 times as charismatic. I love his personality just hate his gameplay. Hazard i feel like is so bland and tryhard

@shmoop6543 his fine now imo since his performance depends on his team mainly supports heals and damage follow up from his dps
Based on Juno and Now Hazard they seem to be reigning in the mobility a bit. We'll see what the next hero with mobility can do.
10:10 "I need more bullets" Block when youre out of ammo. It deals damage and regens ammo 👍
@@ganymede19 10:29
He seems fun in the same kinda ways that made Juno fun. Lots to do and ways to influence teamplay
The concept of this character actually looks fun asl. I just hope they don’t throw random numbers like they did with LifeWeaver.
I feel like the only thing they should touch if anything is Shield even then minimally it doesn't seem that oppressive.
@@YungJayThe3rd they only did that with LW because he sucked and he was clunky af
LW was problematic because blizzard couldn't figure out 2 hands properly like they did with Moira glad they did it now 😂
@@MR_N0VA LW was never problematic especially when Kiri, Ana, and Bap were more viable.

He weighs about 1100 lbs with the armor on. That mf is huge
If you do the vault-leap-vault onto a sliding roof and put down your wall you can stay up there until your wall is destroyed. You can also place your wall on the side of the map so you don't fall into the void, it's pretty cool!
you can also leap and right click and the needles shoot out and it doesnt cancel the leap slash
@@dirtydead4144and if you hold melee instead of inputting slash again you do the slash and a quick melee right after

Scottish Shimada
neat
2 Haz + 2 Mei = "Walls, walls everywhere." It's kinda like someone was like "why didn't we make Mei a tank" and then decided to have a JQ + Mei baby.
More like a Fist + Mei baby
sooo?
I might not love his character design, but DAMN they were cooking with his kit.
great design and it is cool seeing another tank that has a kit that allows for a ton of skill expression
cool kit glad his first impression is goin to be a good one the community needs it
Fun tip for QP (and if they ever decide to fully return 6v6) his Ult works exceptionally well with wrecking balls ult
what is with orisa ult?^^
@marvingrahn8008 same but with wrecking ball they can't run even after CC duration
10:06 No matter how much ammunition you have, you will always need more bullets.
"I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm enjoying this". Me every time I play
Something to note is that his ult hits the enemy even when you are out of his LOS I got hit with it through 2 walls on Kings Row it was disgusting 😂
yeah, just like hanzo dragon. the cast time is long enough though, so as long as you arent Ana or Zen, you could probably escape it
I think it cuz his ult comes from the sky box XD so if you shield above you or hide under cover (I dont know haven't tested this one) it blocks it
@@BammTNTgoes through walls AND roofs hahaha, dont know about shields
@@vasseem12 ok so buildings is a no go XD Good to know, but you can still do the bastion shield umbrella or genji deflect to dodge the stun, me and my buddy did a test on that (we just did em out in the open area of the map)
they just murdered Winston
I guess Winston is old news to them. They are gonna need some sort of crazy new thing to bring back players for a little while after marvel rivals comes out.😂 that’s why they finally released another cool, very mobile hero, that even has a third person ability 🤦♂️ 😅
the ability to block heals is what makes winston feel so strong sometimes. i feel like he might just be (bad)doomfist with more utility
How?
I don't think so. His damage doesn't seem to be that oppressive and as someone said, he doesn't block heals like Bubble and can't hit multiple targets like Winston/Doom can.
Why this scottish dude can climb, but Winston, a literal gorilla, cant?
his rooted status from ult doesn’t get cleansed by kiri it’s kinda like grav in that way
4:38 That peel for Ana made me happy
an unstoppable hurricane of pain. a whirlwind of death. a dance of horror.
I have to say his character design is simply a chef's kiss❤
@5:40 you shot your wall in the little gap between the map wall and floor and it went under the map lol.
10:05 I NEED MORE BOOLETS
Wow, his cooldowns are very low. That's crazy. A hybrid of other heroes. Someone that would dominate almost all ranks.
He isn't going to dominate low ranks at his current tuning. You really need to be chaining everything properly to be effective and know when to push and pull. It is really easy to feed or not be impactful with him. Other tanks get a lot more value for less work than him.
10:25 lmaooo the widow voice line💀
I love how he's designed like a turtle but had the agility to move around the map like a rabbit
This character just came out and you look like you’ve been playing him forever.
Your movement, game sense and reflexes are insane
🔥
Always cool to so see how insanely fast pro’s like you pick up new heroes and push there playstyle
"He can also headshot" 💥
Soldier: +617 Backflip
Scottish playing a scottish character was nothing something I was expecting 😂
Its rly funny to me that the guy with one hand can climb when the gorilla cant
His movement is nuts
3:50 "Genji is not broken" 🤣🤣🤣
ML chasing a pharah for like all of attack made my shitty day a little better
I think spike guard should be changed so the spikes only fire when Hazard is being shot, but who knows what this character will look like in a few months
u can bhop after shift to keep the slash longer
JQ with a winston jump, mei wall, yappanees climb, and juno torpedo
Scottish Doomfist.
And Dey Say Haggis Is Dead
Double wall will be op for blocking off chokes and dmg , reminds me of sage & vyse
This guy is clearly mobility creep, but im not complaining 😂
He looks super amazing to play with but i do think his CDs are a bit too short. Maybe just add like a second or a second and a half to his abilities and he'll feel balanced. Not the wall though from what it seems, that has a good CD on it
The wall has 14 or 13 seconds of cooldown and when it ends by itself its at 9 or 8 seconds of cooldown
Yeah I definitely think that's a good time for it
Block is up too often for how strong it is
He's been out for zero seconds, stop crying already 😂 he probably needs buffs not nerfs
@akshayy_xd tells them to stop crying but then claims Hazard probably needs buffs? That definitely makes sense 💀
They made Mei into a tank lol
Does he not know that he can destroy the wall?
The anti-air Hazard is hilarious
I think it’d be cool if, with his block, he only launches the spikes and regens ammo when his block is actually shot
Yeah i wish it was that way
Then it would just be a shittier deflect
@@bonfirecamp3874 no, because it's up way more often and reloads ammo
Slash -> Shoot -> Melee combo seems like good burst.

Aim you shield upwards like an umbrella! Lifeweaver Tree, Monkey Bubble, Diva Matrix, Rein/Brig Shield. They all catch the spikes.

The right click is gonna get nerfed. You do your jump melee then the jump attack, a shot for the shotgun and the the spiky shell
Ow2 abilities are so weird, ow1 abilities were like, normal turret but more powerful, normal turret but more of them, widow sniper but really powerful, rein shield but really big...
i love this new hero he reminds me of the high on life guns
Looks like a dungeon defender 2 character. seems cool enough. Loved that game

Seems so fluid not alot of down time perfect dive/brawl hybrid. Heros like this make ball obsolete
10:05 if you know you know
Dive/brawl is my favorite play style hybrid. Excited for this tank!
Did they patch out that barrier aim? It just instantly launches when I try it.
Explained it here ua-cam.com/users/shortsrsnQRdEoLmE

how do you see the preview of where the stone will rise? as soon as I press the button its fired. x_x
Explained it here ua-cam.com/users/shortsrsnQRdEoLmE
gotta find his range & intended playstyle.
I think they should give him 80 ammo and cost 10 per shot and use ammo as the blocking resource rather than generate it.
Not a bad idea tbh
Commenting cuz good idea
What an awful idea. Never cook again.
@@ruy_u the hero has ability clutter, combining two resource pools into one is a good way to do this without removing real features,

While he can absolutely eat Winton alive, I could also see the two of them being pretty oppressive together in 6v6.
But having yet another hyper mobile shotgun tank does upset me as a Winton enjoyer
Although he can feel the niche of a hybrid between brawl and dive, winston still seems a way better pick in dive.
?
doomfist, genji, and a needler from halo merged into a scottish man......i like em
He feels very noob friendly, but he already has a lot of skill expression. I’m excited for Hazard
16:31
Kiri doesn't cleanse the rooted effect. Good to know
he reminds me of a hunter from halo like silhouette wise
Bristleback on crack 😂
Guess getting cleansed doesn’t work on his ultimate. Gotta be very careful with that
he is good but i still wait for 6v6 cuz 5v5 as tank is unfun af
self tilt
Character looks fun, but his variety of abilities makes Doomfist (who is still a good hero) look basic with his kit
The fun and mobility factor of this tank may truly save us from orisa meta
