Hamster is an extremely hard to manage hero but once learned he becomes a carry hero. His ability be everywhere is both an advantage and disadvantage because it often results in tunnel vision. Hamster has enough counters that he can go from a total dominator to a disaster. His design is interesting and yes Chu did message on one of my posts about the adorable hamham. Chu confirmed that hamster is both an adventurer and engineer. He did not build the ai that is inside his mech. Is Hammond a scientist or engineer? - #36 by KettleBunny-1370

Heroes like Roadhog, Reaper, Bastion…

Really, try harder

Well you know given that he moves at twice the base speed of all heroes, and that while he does his crit spot, a small one at that, is hidden, AND he has an ability that doubles his speed on a 5 second cooldown, he can pretty much just run from whatever he can’t fight until his team takes care of Roadhog, Reaper, or Bastion.

Btw no one plays those heroes in high ranks. Sorry.
