If you get stunned or die just the moment when you press Q, no mines appear at all. This is not even logical because the ejection of the mines is instant while the mines only require some time to activate.
Is this a bug or intended?

I’m afraid it might be intended, as you can do the same with EMP, but you have to do it pretty much the same instant Sombra presses Q
Whether it is a bug or intended, I have been playing as Hammond a little bit since the release, and I have lost my ult. from stun/sleep at least 5 times. It does appear to be a fairly large issue with Hammond.
It’s intended to be interrupted. It is like Mei’s ult.
Why is it just an issue on Hammond when many other heroes have the same issue? Does his mines just take awhile to deploy?
I think its a misunderstanding. It is ping lag, or “latency” in those cases with somrba as well.
it’s intended because mei’s cancles if u die aswell
It’s intended. It isn’t a transformational ultimate, so if a timed stun or hack lands, he loses it
I’ve never seen the mines eject instantly. I thought there was like a half second before they actually drop where you can stop them from spawning.
It’s more of an issue for Hammond than other characters because of how he engages in a fight, if you Grapple, Piledriver, Adaptive Shields into the enemy and try to activate Minefield you lose your ultimate to any interrupt. Minefield is really a trash ultimate, it’s like the Pulse Bomb of the tank class.
Yeah, but Lucio and Reinhardt also lose their ult if they’re interrupted, and they need to be in a team fight to use it. Roadhog as well.
I’m just saying that this isn’t exclusive to Hammond. It does definitely suck when you lose your ult, though.
to save everyone some clean up time its not like they where going to do anything anways
hammonds mines arnt really a problem except to people who dont pay attention
brigitte can just use her sheld and walk through the mines destroying them or use her mace, winston can use his tesla to destroy them, bastion can sit back and unload on them, junkrat can fire into them, pharah can blast them, reinhardt can use his shield to walk through them, soldier can shoot them, zarya can shield through them. his mines have low health yet people always seem to think they can just walk through them i hardly ever see anyone try to destroy them
It’s a zoning Ultimate. It’s just to control an area for some extra time. A 5 second hold up is a huge amount of time in OW, especially if you’re in OT.
At least it does it’s intended job once it is deployed.

It is an issue with Hammond, but I have certainly experienced the same issue with other heroes. Mei especially seems to lose her Ult a lot mid-use, as does Sombra (pointed out by another poster I believe).
Your triggering has triggered me!

I kinda wish they would just correct those projectile-based Ultimates. Ana, Tracer, and Mei all lose their Ults if they get stunned or die before the Ultimate reaches its target. Super annoying.
This. Whether intended or not, it happens a lot. I guess blame can put on the player for deploying it in a less than ideal situation if you are gonna get stunned but I dont know…its very frequent.
