Can’t we talk about how stupid it is that Hammond can stall out a point for ages. He should not be able to just swing around something indefinable for a whole match and win. Now it’s impossible to deal with because I’m locked into a role where as before I could swap to sombra and hack him.

He’s not even good.
Every role can deal with Hammond anyway.

There you go. Heroes in every role that stop infinite point stall for hammond.

CC counters him hard and his movement is predictable.
It’s a you problem not a game problem. And you didn’t even put a solution for the problem

Ana sleep dart works wonders. You can commit anti too, if he is that annoying.

I forgot about ana. Yeah, ana too.
Hammond is relatively easy to deal with. It just requires aim or a proper counter. He cant stay spinning around the point forever and eventually he will need to heal. A good hammond can stall for just long enough and run away but a proper team can utterly annihilate him
Heck even his ult is wasted when you have a proper shield tank. (or at least one that is capable of learning a new trick)
Ana sleeps him (maybe not this week)
Moira can just suck him dry as he goes around (maybe not this week)
Cree flashbang
mei freeze
Junk trap
As Ashe, I just throw dynamite and shoot it when he rolls by.
Honestly though, besides helping out with Pharah and stalling point - what good is he?
I get the whole annoying swap issue but Hammond is extremely easy to stop stalling.
- Shoot him.
- Better… Team shoots him.
- Ana sleeps him.
- Brigette bashes him / stuns him.
- Brigette boops him.
- McCree Stuns him
- Lucio Boops Him.
- DVA boops him.
- Another Ball vertical swing boops him.
- Bastion evicerates him
- Ash boots him
- May Wall Him
- Of course there is always Rein
- Hog hooks him
- Sigma Stuns him
- Sombra hacks him
- Symmetra torrents will slow down if not eliminate the spin.
I am sure I forgot some but that gives some examples of how every category can counter.
There are bunch of other things that counter that. There is some utility in spinning on point but if the team or even an individual in every category can counter it, crowd control will decimate ball in seconds regardless.
I play ball, sometimes he is just not an option to gain value from, sadly, cause he is a lot of fun.
I was stuck in the tank role and someone was already roadhog but no one was dealing with him. I was already busy dealing with a Lucio, zen, genji and soldier. Kept killing them and killing them but still my team wouldn’t take care of the ball. I can’t play every role. I know how to stop him but again I was busy dealing with other characters.
Also ana sleep dart pretty much means hammond dies, especially combined with a rein charge.

Before you go attacking actually read the reply 
also why does he leave sunflower seeds everywhere, can’t he pick up after himself like a normal person?
I mean to be fair your team failing to kill him while you were occupied isn’t really a him problem. With that argument, anything can be put in hammonds role.
“While I was front lining, my team couldn’t kill this genji. Genji is too evasive and its dumb.”

Can’t kill a ball which is spinning around in always the same circle and can be stunned by any kind of CC?
Point Capture not deserved

Genji is skillful. Spinning in a circle for a match isn’t.
You can pick Mei and put up a wall to stop him, freezing him.
McCree is also a really good counter, speaking as someone who plays Hammond a lot. McCree is REALLY annoying right now.
Uhhh… what? WB is in skilled hands amazingly good…
He was, then they nerfed him.
Wrecking Ball is mediocre, a little weak.
If you’re still having fun on him, then by all means, continue though.
