If you’re referring to the “Anchored” status effect the Entrenched talent in my rework concept gives, it is actually not full Unstoppable. It specifically only grants immunity to Displacement effects, a.k.a. knockbacks and pulls.
Examples of CC effects that would work on reworked Hammer with Entrenched: Discord Strike, Blessed Shield, Storm Bolt, Impaling Blades, and Apocalypse.
Examples of CC effects that would not work on reworked Hammer with Entrenched (from those same heroes): Telekinesis, Condemn, Haymaker, Primal Grasp, and Shadow Charge and Overpower.
It’s basically just meant to give Hammer the ability to maintain her position. You can’t pull or push her out of place. You can still lock her in place with stuns or roots and you can prevent her from casting abilities, but she stays where she is until she wants to move.
Okay, man. Stay wrong. This rework ain’t happenin’ regardless and you’ll still be wrong even if by some miracle it did.
Reworking her is easy.
Do to siege mode what was done to Sylvanas trait.
Easy.
And I’d say necessary, because she’s one of the worst designed heroes in the game.
In the wrong situation she’s useless, and in the right situation you simply can’t engage on her. That’s stupid and boring design.
If the counter is draft a harder counter rather than play better, it’s bad design.

I never said it was useless, it’s just “eh?” now.
Take that on top of the fact that there was no counter balance to the talent or heroic, it was simply nerfed.
It was so fun sneaking up to line up good Orbiting BFG shots. Now what’s the point of level 20 BFG? Sure you can line it up on a minion wave but that’s about it outside of some niche scenarios where people might forget it’s rotating around certain points. At that point I’d probably rather play Rag so I can do it better and I don’t even have to impose the ‘play around Hammer’ aspect of it all. Any shenanigans you think you’re doing in a team fight you can probably do better with the low CD Napalm.
Personally I still take BFG since it still looks badass, especially as an Iron Star, and for the lol factor.
