This isn't hero 28. It doesn't follow the standard format for hero introduction.

It is, however, literally Richard Hammond, so I'm cool with that part.

So what's your theory

Junker Queen. She runs the scrapyard arena and Hammond here is the champion of the arena, which is why he's referred to as that instead of hero like all the other OW characters.

He could be part of her kit, or part of an upcoming event or something, but I doubt he's the new hero.

I thought hammond was the monkey

We thought Hammond was a monkey because he was from the same place Winston was from, but there was never any explicit confirmation of that

Gotta be honest, I'm not really feeling this one. It just seems like a bit too silly a concept.

Yep, just started watching some people stream him on twitch - looks like a really fun character to play.

What are his abilities?


600 health (can't tell amount of armor based on just watching streams)
1: quad cannons as primary
2: mode-switch between walking and rolling at a higher speed
3: shield boost (more shield based on number of nearby enemies) - 15 second cooldown
4:grappling hook that allows him to grab onto surfaces and swing around and high speed. hitting enemies does knockback and a fair amount of damage - 5 second cooldown
5:piledriver - while in air, do a downward strike with the ball - 10(?) second cooldown
ultimate: minefield - scatters a bunch of mines around you.

Something I'm curious about, and would love to see, is if the grappling hook can also hook onto pharahs... Imagine having her flying the hamster around as a mobile wrecking ball.

Yea Adaptive Shields gives like 100 shields per enemy nearby, his firing rate is high, it might be hard to hit him while he is swinging in the air, and those mines look like they can OHKO 200HP characters. I am surprised that they made a controller tank.

This dude is going to be nerfed to the ground soon or later. Later being a year later while people complain for months.

He can easily get 1000hp if he activates the shields in the middle of a team fight. That's just absurd

To this day only really Moira came out fine at the start.

Nah. Her orb was unreasonably strong against symmetra turrets.

LOL

that whole discussion. there's even someone saying pharah is black because egypt is in africa

It's hilarious, but complaining about arguably the most diverse game not being diverse enough is silly.

That's what happens when you make diversity a specific goal. You get people complaining that it doesn't include them when otherwise they wouldn't have expected inclusion.

Most people I see are very happy that they're seeing representation from their country in overwatch.

They also did introduce an African girl she's the scientist who made Orisia. She's not directly playable but it's not like they're being ignored.

I am pleased. Pretty damn pleased that is until I get destroyed by all the Soldiers and McCrees with impervious aim.


McCree needed that buff, to be honest (especially on console). Soldier, on the other hand...

Friendship ended with the sniper meta, new friendship with pseudo snipers.

Soldier, McCree, Mei, and Bastion all got a damage falloff buff and Mei's damage falloff has been removed all together. Widow got her primary fire damage nerfed and Hanzo got his Storm Arrows duration and cooldown nerf.

I am pleased. Pretty damn pleased that is until I get destroyed by all the Soldiers and McCrees with impervious aim.

this a HUUUUGE change for Mei most of all. blizz devs have said over and over they only wanted her viable in close range - so she was really only useful for 2nd point stalls and tight space denials. now, well now a mei with decent aim can seriously check pharah or hanzos. this is gonna get really interesting.
