Hammond doesnt talk. He programmed Wrecking Ball to talk for him. It might be a different voice. But it’s still Hammond talking. unless Wrecking Ball is an omnic, but i think it’s just a Mech suit like d’va
Hero 29???

Yea Blizzard please don’t release the cartoon hampster into my game with a time traveller, a talking 200IQ monkey, a person that can resurrect the dead and a guy with a mechanical glove that can take down the 70 year old man in a massive armoured suit.
It’s just not realistic.

what lore? theres no reason given on how genji and hanzo can do that besides “only a shimada can summon the dragons”
They literally explained that they experimented on them. the same reason winston is smart, which you would probally know since hes your icon.

Realism in a game where a small yellow forrest bird can reprogram AI code with a small twig and a few chirps…
I am sure that these people are ready to defend the assault toaster or the flying bubble gum as heroes.
Yeah sure. Sounds like nonsense, dude.
What exactly is wrong with a hamster? Lots of rodents tend to be experiments in science of all sorts. Not exactly unbelievable genetic testing would be exempt.
Also, are you really serious about a petition to remove a fun hero who can add a nice flavor to the gameplay roster, just because his character is silly?? How childish can you get?

Moba style games are allowed to have nonrealistic hero design but a moba inspired First person shooter that already has a giant scientist Gorilla from the moon, a Reaper with infinite amounts of guns on him and can turn himself into smoke, Magic dragons, Flying Robot Monks is going too far when adding a sentient Hamster in a robot mech.
The things that upset people now a days… In a game whose lore has some of the most extreme in technological advancement where light can construct objects like Turrets with the ability to attack, Two brothers that can summon bloody spirit Dragons, a woman that can revive the dead, another that can break the fundamentals of time and space… A race of sentinel robots… and a Gorilla that was “Genetically” modified to be more intelligent than us humans and given the ability to speak…
But a Hamster that was genetically modified is completely out of the question…
Could people please stop making “petitions”. No matter how many replies you get, blizzard doesn’t have to do anything.
That’s because all games die.
World of Warcraft had pandas in one update lmao. Some consider the game dead, but there are obviously still players if it.
I could care less about realism lol. I don’t play video games for any kind of realistic experience. I play video games to get away from the wonderful realism of the real world. Games are and can be zany and wacky. Don’t like the new hero? Don’t play him. Or don’t play the game. That’s it. We do not, have not, or CAN not, have ANY SAY IN IT. Wrecking Ball aka Hammond is real, will release, and there are people that will main him. You can’t change a thing. And I will laugh. ![:slight_smile:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5" ":slight_smile:")
just… a note ‘could care less’ means you care alot, ‘couldn’t care less’ means you don’t care at all… Id you’re going to be a smart alec just… Please know the difference. Like I couldn’t care less if some edgy 12 year old on the Overwatch forum is so dogmatic about the player’s say in a game vs Blizzard’s that they take on a condescending tone.
Like, I couldn’t careless what your opinion is of what I think, but you know just… Use it right please.
Awaiting witty reply
I’m just saying. Having an opinion is great and all, and you are free to have an opinion. But realistically… They won’t stop just because you ask them to. Even a petition isn’t required by any law to be enforced, so Blizzard are going to release him regardless. I live in a world where I learned to just accept things and move on. Especially when regarding something as unimportant in the grand scheme of things as a character in a video game.
are you seriously complaining about a hamster being in a video game? do you seriously think that blizzard is gonna completely remove a character that they spent months on and probably spent alot of money on, because you made a petition?
I know that full well, but I can still give my opinion on something in a game I enjoy. You’re right I can throw away Overwatch and go play league, but all that does is say i’ve given up on the game over an issue that I can voice my displeasure with and hope for some sort of developer feedback.
well for starters it’s not my petition and I have never said I want him removed from the game what i’d like is maybe some stronger explanation as to his existence that doesn’t completely dump on everything else we’ve had that’s already so sporadic. In essence outside of the head piece he looks like a generic rodent, at the very least we could have been given stronger reasoning for how he managed to nav to Junkertown and obtain a means to modify his escape pod. Not all of that could have been done by crossing wires, and then the guns? Did he use his super strength to lug them up?
At the very least lore weak characters like D.va got some explanation for their abilities his entire gimmick is ‘hue hue, cute hamster very smart make death ball be champion’ I could be wrong, but I never made a petition nor did I sign it.
That’s the point. Hammond fits right in with the nonsense.
The point is he is not believable. Far less believable than any other hero in OW.
his origin video literally starts with him in his escape pod crashing towards junkertown.
he landed in junkertown which is where most junker’s “scavenged” according to junkrat’s bio. Hammond’s bio also states how he used his winning from his mech fights to fix up his mech even furthur. maybe watch the video and read his bio before complaining
He is as believable as a grown man acting like a Hot Topic shift manager being able to turn his body into smoke or a talking scientist gorilla.
Fits in with the cast pretty well honestly in terms of silliness.
