Not trying to spark hate, but I just would like to know your guys’ thoughts about hammond (Other than “Unrealistic”)

Because apparently it’s crossed a threshold.

When I was young I had the misfortune of discovering my hamster was a DPS main. He bit me.
I was scarred. Never would my life be the same. Luckily, hamsters live short lives, so soon I was able to be rid of my DPS main hamster and move on with my life.
For Blizzard to now put a hamster hero in this game, and characterize it as a “tank”, call it a hero, has brought up so many painful memories and emotions. This hamster is also 14 years old. THAT’S SUCH A LONG LIFE.
It has totally ruined the lore for me. A MONSTER like a hamster has no place in my cartoonish shooter full of ridiculousness like making a city out of light and where the most intelligent known being is a talking Gorilla.
At least move Hammond to the damage category. At least that’s believable. All hamsters are DPS mains.

he’s nothing but a joke character.

Could you please explain why he is a joke?

I don’t like the way he looks. I would prefer if he was more like a normal hamster, and not a short man in a fur-suit.

Right now, he’s just a gimmick hero. He doesn’t even have an over the top personality or a personality at all. Tons of fun to play and very wacky, but he could literally be a glowing Bastion style critbox instead of a hamster and the actual character of the hero wouldn’t change at all.
Even Bastion, a mass produced robot has a growth arc, whereas Hammond’s hero blurb is literally ‘smart hamster seeks adventure’.
Just really meh outside the cute factor (which he does nail to be fair).

Because they’re 15 year old edgelords who think a genetically engineered hamster who made a killing mech is unreasonable, but a blue/purple woman, 3 magical dragons, a woman who can make things out of hard light is reasonable
I would be glad if they left this game to play another stupid one like fortnite or cod

Hey buddy, just because there’s an opinion that differs yours doesn’t give you any room to assume other other side are “15 year old edgelords”
I mean, c’mon.

I’ll bite. What would it take for a game to be too childish for you to sink 100+ hours into it?
No semantics, just answer the question, because obviously you wouldn’t play hello kitty island for 100 hours
A DJ who speeds around on rollerblades and heals with the power of music is perfectly fine. But a genetically enhanced hamster in a world where other genetically enhanced animals exist? Blizzard you have crossed the damn line

Music has shown scientifically to have healing properties of sorts. Not magic. Not disproving your point, just sayin, gotta at least have the correct facts
That part wasn’t my idea, I found it from another thread and I found it hilarious
I respect that others have differing opinions, but to leave the game because of a cute hero? Cmon
I too wanted the junker queen soooo bad, and hated Hammond… That is until I played him myself and he’s a lot of fun

I don’t hate him, I think he’s a breath of fresh air tbh. A lot of people feel the same way if you watch YouTube videos (Stylosa and Freedo for example think he’s a blast). Forums tend to attract complaints, so what you’re seeing here is largely a vocal minority. The grand majority of normal people who don’t irrationally view themselves as “gatekeeper” fans or some self-appointed “voice of the community” aren’t going to come here and complain, they’ll just keep playing the game and enjoying all the cool stuff Blizzard keeps pumping out.

I hate Hammond because we can’t get a Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel skin the evil hamster from Lilo and Stitch because of copyright

Lets face it, it is because it’s not a loli character.

You’re correct in that sense, people shouldn’t leave the game because of Hammond and those who do are very childish over the fact. I’m console so I can’t yet, but from seen gameplay, he does look like a ton of fun.

Heck even if they added hello kitty I’d still play
Just because there is something cute in a game doesn’t mean I’d stop playing it
