Hazard feels great in game! New tanks are always scary potential balance issues but I enjoy having him on my team, don’t hate my life when playing against him, and he’s fun to play as too! Feels like he has entered the game seamlessly just like Juno and Venture! I think the Hero design team has hit their groove tbh

Thanks for all the communication and behind the scenes stuff as usual!

Why they didn’t go with the green colored variation of this will be a permanent mystery. It looks so much better and it just validates in my mind that they did use Phreak’s concept art as a base.

Just look at the similarities:

It was the job of a sole person, who specialized in efficient communication with us…
They were fired.

Don’t give them ideas.

One thing I like about LoL is that the base characters tend to have pretty good designs, yet they’re still able to make amazing skins that people actually want.

Thats the case for rivals, all the designs are good

I love the idea of tiny legs-half needler-half Doomifst.
I think I’ll just call him tiny legs.

Even the art doesn’t saves it this time. It requires real skill to come up with such a bland hero.
