since his release i still cannot figure out what actually counters this hero
It’s your fault for existing on the same map as him

Honestly have no clue since his perks make him atrocious to play against…
I guess his “counters” so to say are characters who are good against his dive/burst slash combo. I can’t tell you about other heroes much but for supports Brig is good, Ana is always good, or anyone who has good movement and survivability.
Tanks I would say Hog since hook is always good for deterring dive characters like Haz, especially while he blocks.
Sym is 50/50 depending on how safe you play her, but she can charge off his wall and negate most of his kit but she can get melted by him if you aren’t cautious. Other ranged DPS and Reaper/Mei might also be good.
I usually play any support but I also typically play out of the range of his leap, cause that’s where he’s going to get the most value from.
Any flyer would do.
Also range/push backs. Any Brig playing guard can make his life miserable.

CC and debuffs seem like a bad time for him, but I’m a scrub and I don’t play at the ranks where Hazard actually exists.
Maybe one day I’ll actually be able to play him without throwing, but unfortunately M2T Comp’s matchmaking has been pretty good for me this season so I’ve been living there and picking stuff like Ram, Sigma or Zarya (in the games where she’s actually not banned). Ram feels really good in M2T, imo.
I really feel the lack of knockback resistance on tanks in M2T. Sometimes it feels like Brig and Lucio can punt me over the horizon.

You are right, I forgot discord.
Since his DR got nerfed, that makes his armor fly in less than 1 sec.
Hazard without armor = Hello respawn my old friennnnnd.

For hog it’s actually better to walk straight past him cause he isn’t a threat to tanks and kill 1 of his squishies, when he starts ignoring you and going for your backline that’s when he gets careless and you can start hooking him.
I think queen does well against all large hitbox tanks, but I don’t play queen.
DVA should do well, but don’t trade with him. Let him find something to do and then follow and harass him
Mauga is obvious, not much hazard can do about it. Main goal is to make him hide from you like the sun to a vampire not actually killing him.
Zarya should be good at full charge and is the most straightforward, just out damage him and he’ll get out of your way.
Burn him with Mauga. Stomp him when he puts up guard. Burn through his wall.
Repeat
Sombra.
Unfortunately, she’s everyone’s favorite ban pick, so…

Ana, fliers, cc, defense matrix or bubble on hits dive target, pointy objects (dude can melt to focus fire)
I weirdly found Mei pretty good.

Muhahahaha!
I mean, I have no idea what you are on about 
But Mei is honestly a solid pick.
But I think she is a pretty solid pick all round - I am SURE people will wake up to how good she is really soon, and I worry about that.
There is a reason she is batting 55% win rate in China, and it isn’t just that the Chinese players love her.
She is killing it right now. I find it wild that Sombra is banned, and Mei is there to play…

I don’t even know how well that works anymore. At least as a solo sym and not the full torb + sym + ball on numbani.
1 of the biggest things sym had at the time was that she couldn’t get insta-gibbed by the hazard combo but with his perk that lets him do bonus damage to anyone over 250 makes her higher health pool irrelevant. At least you can still runaway and even ferry people out if you do it preemptively.
Ana (sleep + anti while you block and its joever)
Freja (you get melted)
Roadhog (will hook you everytime you block)
Sombra (hacking during block when you are mid life is a death sentence)
And most of all…dont stay alone separated from your team especially if you took dmg already.
Hazard will always go for you
Ana makes him spend most of the match in horizontal pose xD

Does he even need a hard counter? Pretty sure you can just shoot at him with anyone…
