After seeing Hammond in action for a while he really needs a nerf to his mobility. What kind of nerf and by how much im not sure, but he has way too much.
If they do nerf it they should definitely buff his shielding ability to balance it out but hes just too mobile right now.
CC shuts him down easily. His mobility is fine.
Nah. Let’s not, he’s fine.
remember how for months he was a throw pick. Yeah, funny how people change
He’s fully reliant on his mobility. Nerfing it would make him next to useless.
If he’s making you that miserable, switch to Mei, Symmetra, or Sombra.
How about no?
Hammond is intended to be a highly mobile tank. He is supposed to be able to dart across the battlefield, attack, and retreat if needed. Nerfing his mobility would hurt that and ruin the character.
Hammond has several counters. Sombra can hack him and he’s a sitting duck, Mei can freeze him and drastically reduce his movement speed or use her wall to block him in, Reaper shreds him like paper, Ana can nullify him until your team can deal with him (her sleep dart is practically guaranteed to hit because of his huge hit box), Zen with Discord, Roadhog can hook him, etc. etc.
He’s easily dealt with. If you seem him as a problem, switch to one of those.
Its just my opinion. High skill hammonds just get way too much value out of his mobility
I mean I agree he shouldn’t be nerfed but he was never a throw pick.
Well, of course, that’s how having skill works.
At the moment he has more mobility than winston with more damage and immunity to headshots when hes in ball form.
If they nerfed him to have mobility closer to winston and buffed some of his other stuff id be fine with that.
Oh come on, CC on Tanks is bad enough.
Let people just have a ball.
Except i didnt just say “high skill makes hammond op” i said they get way too much value out of it. I dont think hes overpowered i just think he needs his mobility scaled back to make him less obnoxious.
Since you seem to be maining Ana I can give you a tip, sleep dart is very useful against him and stuns him for a long time, just remember to call it to your teammates. He is very predictable, and very fat.
I see a hammond on the enemy team and I go mei and bully him into swapping off.
Symmetra is barely a soft counter. She needs all 3 of her turrets to lock onto hammond otherwise a signle piledrive and a few shots will make quick work of her.
Yeah i am really good at sleep darting him. I dont have issues with him on ana really, its when i play Widow, Ashe, anyone who has limited mobility that i have a ton of issues.
Since widow had her hook nerfed to hell its really difficult for me to play her well right now. Even as sombra hacking a hammond is not a guaranteed kill 1v1. In a team yes he gets absolute DUNKED when he gets hacked but i see him more as a type of flanker tank to go after squishy supports
With the amount of CC, yea no
Also Mei and Sombra exist
Ball huehuehuehue 20
Play Sombra and he’s throwing.
You have got to be kidding.
Hammond’s entire existence revolves around him being super mobile. Take that away and he is an ult battery for his opponents.
There are counters to his mobility. Traps, stuns, slows, hacks.
This has got to be a troll thread right?
