as a wrecking ball player genji is so difficult to counter due to his high mobility always catching up to me and his deflect making my dual machine guns useless. i felt like hammond read my mind when i got that dialogue for the first time
I also love how the Ball ai is "kinda"(?) Sentient, I like to think in some cases (like DVa) it's actually the ball speaking and Hammond could be saying the opposite
Fun fact: hamsters are incredibly antisocial, selfish, and violent to even others of their kind compared to most rodents. This personality is a lot more accurate to a hamster than you'd think.
Consider that the other simians didn't have Winston in the best regards. They respected his life because he was one of them, but they leave him alone because they hated his guts. Now, what would happen if Winston asked any help to Hammons (or Hypatia, for that matter) and they answered? Nothing good, i gather... That said, Winston escaped the colony because he liked humans better and because he didn't have a home in the colony. Hammond? He wanted some adventures. The colony was too small for him. The original plan was he was going to be with Winston. He doesn't hate him THAT much but, in the end, he reached Junkertown where... well, he gained some attitude XD
There's also a interaction between Mei and Wrecking Ball Mei : Wow the hamster is so cute W.B : Do not call the hamster "cute". Mei : oh sorry (in chinese) "but seriously isn't he cute snow ball ?" W.B : (In chinese) "He says *stop talking* "
Junker queen: *Champ, I need you to make me something else. Solve world hunger, figure out where humans go after they die, harness the power of a black hole, and discover if their is other life in the universe* Wrecking ball: *Fine, but give me a challenge next time.*
I think they made his personality come forward better in ow2! He’s funny and kinda chill but has a lot of sass and has grudges on winston for leaving him, kinda like a kid. And i love that he makes the teanslator speak in third person for him when hes shy
@@adamkaangambrill it does yeah, the ball is it’s own sentient AI that also translates for Hammond. They confirmed it when the character first released. I think it was in the original developer update when Jeff announced them.
4:47 notice how the AI doesn't say "the hamster says:" or "he says:" when talking to Winston, as if it's sentient and is speaking for itself to Winston about his betrayal.
It’s probably because when talking to Winston, He doesn’t need to translate what he’s saying, it was officially stated that Winston already can understand what he’s saying since both are animals. I think the mech is more or less translating for US as players and they wanted to make it seem that way by having it more direct from Hammonds perspective rather than the mech. Also, the mech doesn’t have AI nor is a omnic, it isn’t sentient at least it wasn’t in OW 1, maybe the new team forgot or plans to change a few things later on…
I love the requests that the Junker Queen makes for Hammond to make some complex stuff, with Hammond responding with "Fine, but give me a challenge next time."
Some of the requests would be eazy. A suit of armor that screams her name can be made by just making a regular suit of armor, and taping a boombox to the back that screams her name every few seconds. Omnics exist, and orisa also has a centaur like chassis, so taking inspiration from that and modifying some omnic's code he can make a gaurd dog that actually acts like a dog. And that triple-grenade launcher could be made like ronin's bullet wall shotgun from titanfall 2, but modified to shoot grenades. The difficult part of that one is figuring out what she ment by "paint glitter and nails", cause either she ment using it to make the launcher look better, or as a seperate type of grenade with a large aoe and a calling card.
I feel like Wreaking Ball only says “fine, but give me a challenge next time” to Junker Queen because he likes making absolutely unhinged contraptions, and she gives him a reason to do it
Ana's "being myself is exciting enough" reply actually has another layer to it. In arabic, ana/انا is "I" or "self", so she's saying she'll keep being "Ana" and won't lose sight of herself ever again.
It is, but I still got the headcanon that Reaper somehow intimidated the WB AI leading to it distancing itself from Hammonds antagonising response by referring to Hammond as "mammal" in a degrading way, rather than he, him or hamster, trying to get on Reapers good side. Makes it all the betterthat Mr. Tall, dark and gruesome actually gets soft for a second when Echo imitates him.
The last line with winston is so interesting, because it feels like ball is upset, even angry at winston and talking for himself, rather than translating for Hammond, especially since usually he says "the hamster says:" but in this case... Doesn't
I want y’all to realize just how much of a savage his line is with Genji. We know that Genji is more robot than human. Likewise we know that Hammon lives in junkerville. They hate robots. Hammon wants to fight him in the arena to not only beat him but to humble him. He’s so confident that he doesn’t hesitate when he invites him to fight because he knows he will win. True savage.
I would love to see JQ cosmetics that featured Hammond’s creations: An emote featuring the robo dog, or a legendary skin with armor that shouts her name during commanding shout
I like how Hammond has this temperament of a standard COD streamer, where most of the time he just makes these snarky comments and clever insults, yet still has this very quick fuse whenever angered. Specifically when Bridget asks if he ate birdseed and then refuses to give him birdseed. It's a neat combination of him being a troublesome hamster, a genius in mech design, and a resident of junkertown
"Deflect that, loser." I love how sassy Hammond is in overwatch 2
I got that line once. I laughed my ass of when I heard it for the first time.
sounds like the equivalent of "PARRY THIS, FILTHY CASUAL!!!"
@@bigbangcityinc LOL, yes when I play Guilty Gear and use Roman Cancel or just Anji's counter super

Love that you can see the wavelength (or whatever) of the ball's speech, in front of his left paw.... hand... appendage.
Holy shit the detail is unmatched
limb you mean
I've never noticed that
If you're in front of ball, there will be some kind of headlight that will turn on and off everytime the ai talk

Best hero don't @ me. Love the interactions with Winston. Although that very last one is my personal favorite 😎
The hamster champ himself! Hello there!
Hammond might be the only other character that Reaper has a sort of positive interaction with and that is the FUNNIEST THING EVER to me
I love how the machine and hamster are kind of two entities - sometimes translating directly, sometimes speaking as Hammond
I also heard a voiceline before the battle "Dont start the battle yet, the hamster has something stuck in his teeth."
"I will use your chassis as a vacation home" ....my GOD
“I WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED BY VERMIN”😂
5:54 I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING
genji elimination quote will always make me laugh
There's some missing lines
Eliminated reaper: "clowns belong in the circus"
Eliminated winston: "arche nemesis.. defeated" and "you had it coming..."
I think I've heard the first quote when killing anyone in talon
I heard the clown one when eliminating a training bot.
Can a simple interaction video make you want to learn Hammond in Overwatch 2?
Yes. Yes it can.
Join us brother
Join the darkside
He's honestly really really fun
I don't even play and I want to main Hammond lol
heres how you join the hammond army:
hook onto a corner
smash into enemy team
get flung into the air
SMASH
use ult
spray your gun everywhere
The love the dialogue of shutting down Cassidy's high noon. That made me laugh. Also The Sigma and Junker Queen interactions
Hammond:Have you ever fought in an arena?
Genji: no I have not
Hammond: WOULD YOU LIKE TO?
I love how much of a troll he is, that line when he shuts down dragonblade is too good
“I WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED BY VERMIN”
Is so funny
He and Reaper get along......that's appropriate and hilarious

Hammond isn't a villain but gets along with the villains better than the heroes.
Dual-wielding bros
Learning Winston left Hammon behind shook me
Made me sad for over an hour, rare Winstone L and probably one of the biggest L in overwatch
0:25 i think bastion and hammonds interaction is literally adorable because they both understand each other 🫶🥲
Bastion probably learned from his friend and Hammond smart and knows omnic beep beep meanings
3:37 best interaction in my opinion
"inferior hamster."

No one:
Hammond killing Genji with a fireball: Deflect that, LOSER !
I noticed a small detail on Hammonds hud. If you look down to his left hand whenever the ball speaks, it shows a sound wavelength bar
Yes, I noticed that too
When the ai talk
There's light coming out of the front part of the ball
Hanzo burn was too good
He left junkertown but junkertown never left him.
The ball is safe
The ball is Kind
Ball is love
Ball is life
The ball is good, the ball is my pal.
The ball is life, The ball is death
the ball is one, the ball stays connected

No one gonna talk about Bastion's "WOOOAHHH!!"?
he's adorable! hope we get Brig's cat as a hero... (genuinely the only hero I'll love more than Sombra, D.va, and Mercy)
Why is it that the fucking hamster has so many new voicelines AND that they're all some of the best in the game?
When he gets a boop kill he says "Try using your grapple... HA-HA."
Weird they added so many double-tank interactions when going to a 1-tank system.
Man really said "parry this" and "tank diff"
1:05 Jetpack Cat foreshadowing?
The brigitte interaction is an obvious reference to that one fan made animation
_"At the beep, the time will be __12:01__."_
_"beEEep"_

Hammond you didn´t needed to kill Cassidy like that.

Both sides of the orisa interaction are full of venom
The hanzo interaction killed me " I will not be disrespected by vermin!"

Bruhhhhh the Hanzo interaction was hilarious!
The sinister hamster, My favorite character. Cheers to the most nontank tank in the game !
In OW1 he had so much wasted potential, basically no personality. Now he has tons of it, his interaction with Moira and Mercy is fantastic.
All these really good interactions with other tanks when you won't have another tank on your team.
I love the idea of just talking to a large hyper intelligent hamster like hes just one of the boys
Lol the hanzo interaction
I WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED BY VERMIN
The Zenyatta line always makes me imagine that situation
That…is one savage hamster. I love it!
5:52 LMAOOO HE TELLS THE TIME
i actually got the genji voiceline a few days ago without knowing it and i laughed about if for the rest of the match
That Orisa voice line is COLD
The ball is safe, The ball is kind
Hanzo's reaction to the gun comment is possibly the funniest thing in the game.
0:30 And of course the most important component of an automated killing machine: hamster translator
0:26 only god know what they talking about
LMAO hammond and Orissa interaction is so funny xD
Bro the Orisa one is so violent💀
I wish i could play hammond 😭
his voicelines are the best
bro i never noticed the little screen by his hand moves when ball speaks
Im surprised they have tank interactions considering, you know
Open queue, no limits
Interactions with Junkerqueen are the most unique
i will not be disrespected by vermin
I like that the bot has different tones
"deflect that, loser" lmfao
The brig one is my favourite, hammond just cursing out
I that hanzo sounded so tired of people telling him where the fuck is his gun to the point where a hamster asked him
Wrecking Ball is my main and nobody can change my mind.
Very common W in LostFate22 life
Ball with bastion is the best thing ever
I remember hearing my boy say once "clowns belong in the circus" after an elim so I came here looking for that voice line
there's widow maker one on junkrat where she says this is not a circus
Hammond ate Ganymede’s feed, that son of a gun is a force to be reckoned with everywhere😂
