As someone whos recently picked up Hammond. I feel the kill floor on Eichenwalde needs to be lowered to be competative

I feel we have seen a recent influx in Hammond players, myself included. I love the hero now that I’ve gotten his feel down. However the kill floor when you get knocked off the map on Eichenwalde needs to be lowered. I have had games where i get knocked off the bridge approaching second checkpoint and the grappling hook did not save me. I feel this is a unique strength and there is no reason that should discourage me from making the pick. I hope you guys at Blizzard see this. Love your game.

I don’t understand anything. But we love u to

He wants more time to fall before it registers ge died so he can grapple out is my understanding. A kill floor is where a zone is fatal to touch.

Basically if you grapple under the bridge and try to swing around (a core component of the hamster), you die. On that note, similarly dying because your spike touched water is a bit limiting to the character.

I get why this mechanic exists - it means you get to spawn faster. But if you’re grappling it should really take that into account.

its the same with the koth map the one with the point in the middle kinda surrounded by a moat. its instant death if you try and grapple around it

It’s like this on all maps with pits, cliffs etc.

I had it on Ilios a couple of days ago, figured I could flank around the right with my grappling hook and suicided.

This stuff really needs either a QoL change for Hammond or a complete lowering of the kill floor.
