How do you feel about Wrecking Ball A.K.A. Hammond?

What is it about that Wrecking Ball that you like or don’t like? I’m not talking about any nerfs or buff for him, just the character himself, your experience playing as him, or fighting against.

What is it that you like when you play him?
What is it that you miss that was changed?
What is it that you like that was changed?
What is it you don’t like when you have to fight one?
What is it that you like about his lore?
What is it that you want to know more about?

Anything of that nature and more.

Personally, I’m curious about him and wish to know more.

Why did the scientists use a hamster instead of sticking with strickly primates?

How does he feel about the experiments he went through?

What is Hammond’s relationship with Winston? There is an interaction in which he is a bit surprised to see him and Hammond has a spray of the two together. I’m not sure if the sprays/skins/dialogue mean anything to the heroes’ lore. The main thing that makes me think it does is Ana and Pharah. Ana has a spray that shows her holding Pharah with a man next to her. The pair even have an interaction where Pharah ask Ana if she will ever tell Sam about her being alive.

How did he know about Winston’s rocket and was able to build a pod in time for the escape?

Why did the tether break, causing him to land in Australia instead of near where Winston?

How was he able to hide his identity from the junkers and not seen as an omnic? Not only that but how did he get the area he had to work on his mech in private?

Also, please no fighting in the comments. Everyone’s opinion matters, that’s how we’ll stay positive as a community.

Honestly I just like that they made a high skill tank that relies on movement and abilities. He is very fun to play and has become one of my mains along with DVA and Zarya. People say the tank class is boring, but he is super fun and have yet to have a dull moment. I want to see what happens if he were to ever become Meta but right now DVA is probably just flat out a better option than him

I honestly hate Hammond still. He is so painfully out-of-place, it’s embarrassing to see him on the team screen when you hit “Tab”.

Oh, how I wish Wrecking Ball was just that, a sentient AI who engages in gladiatorial combat because he can, without a stupid hamster pilot.

I hate Hammond. I still can’t swing very well.

Every time i get him in mystery heroes I kill myself to get someone else

A great addition to OW, but i honestly have a lot of problems with him being countered so hard… (Looking at Mei -_-)

For me, he is the most fun hero added to the game and the only reason I still play.
