two cool things I noticed, you can fire at any time during your leap. AND if you hold melee after the melee slash you'll follow it up with another quick melee combo
You can bunny hop after landing initially before slashing, and some of the momentum will carry over (you will also be able to slash AFTER the bunny hop)! It's a great movement mix-up tool and helps to enter and leave engagements.
If you watch the whole video, Flats learns this in his testing, and even finds a combo that can kill a hero through 250 Health (it does require practice though).
You can use the leap and guard at the same time, if you time it right. If you press both the buttons at the same time, it’ll freak out and cancel them both (but you do go farther than a normal leap). If you press the leap slightly before the guard, you get the height and distance of the leap with the benefits of the guard!
Utility creep is real- the new tank has a shotgun, wall climb, mobility, simultaneous block + attack, boop, wall, and mobility debuffs. Whereas our guy Rein just has hammer, projectile, shield, and linear mobility with a stun ult.😂
Feels similar to when Rein suffer to Orisa and Sig back in the days. His block is similar do Ram's and Doom's block, but in a resource and can do damage while using it.
yup they just taking the easy way out by giving heroes everything, but that still doesnt fix the fact that number boosted tanks frel shit regardless of design
Sadly this is just what it takes to make a tank that has impact these days. I think its fine, personally, hes super lethal 24/7, but with how many bullshit abilities there are in this game, he needs to be super lethal.
Lmao, i am sure you will be hitting this on Pharahs in Bronze where you are at. No actually good Pharah player is getting hit with this, just like Ram.
@@TaterconThere are tons of original Tank concepts thst has been posted to Reddit over the years. It can easily be done but OW team is devoid of creativity anymore

Some poor dev: *Builds fast Scottish character * Blizzard: yeah, it's gonna be a tank Poor dev: *increase size by 100%, slows move speed, increases health, adds block * **Doesn't change voice actor**
late fun fact: you can shoot while leaping, so the moment before you hit an enemy with your dagger you can shoot them first, immediately use dagger, and shoot again once the enemy's knocked back
That's what Ram and Mauga were always supposed to be, but seriously they really need to buff the height and give the ability to use it on the air on Ram's snare thing
I just wish his leap went a bit higher to actually be an anti air tank, but other than that with a few tweaks he could make a good brawling disruptive tank ngl
Seriously all of these heroes have been extremely unique and fun! And honestly besides some early launch shenanigans all have been pretty well balanced (obviously Hazard hasn’t launched yet but he seems pretty ok so far)
He can also deflect his block and slashes. Very tedious but something to keep in mind. I “hate” how any time they add a new type of damage source, Genji can deflect it. I’m still not sure why he gets to deflect Ram’s Pummel or why he gets to deflect Rein’s swings even if the latter isn’t very effective… How can you deflect a whole ass war hammer being smashed into the side of your face?
@@bluefaygox23the Ramm punches are weird that they can be deflected, but even just lore/flavor wise Genji deflecting Rein’s swings somewhat makes sense. Not outright stopping the swing but pushing it away enough that he doesn’t get hit by it.
He’s pretty cool, unfortunate that Rammatra, the BEST character, doesn’t even get HIS OWN SHIT!!! But the funny Scottish purple crystal meth man does, which is cool, he seems fun
So they nerf Ram, revert it after backlash, and then release a hero that literally replaces ram in term of air denial and in terms of better blocking ability But they can't bother to actually give ram proper air denial? Fucking classic Blizzard
Air denial? Wtf are on about? His ult literally rains down from the sky. Neither Ramattra or Hazard are meant to be air denial. Hell, Mauga can deny a Pharah, Mercy or Echo more easily with his mini guns.
@@PsYk3R0Ram has his gravity thing that would be perfect to harass pharas. But nooooo, let's make it barely a slight inconvenience and pretty much useless instead
can't wait for full boop to be meta and to see a hazard put up a wall and watch people get ping ponged into it by hazard slash, pharah/lucio boop, and junkrat mine over and over
The wall has a nasty use case I have seen in another short. Reaper can do his teleport to get up there, allowing him to drop in for an ult in places he otherwise would have no way of coming in from above.
While he need some adjustments, we finally have a new tank that feels like a disrupter

Oh yeah. This is gonna be one of the rare tanks that can actually deal with her effectively.
Yeah his alt removes her from the sky

Fuck pharahs, glad he can counter them
Good they are annoying its about time they have a counter

It just hurts man

If you leap while climbing, you reset climb and can get over most buildings. Making a vid on him now for our "Things YOU didn't know about OW" series
looking forward to that Mr Fawkes
Okay, but did you know that if you climb a wall, then leap off of a cliff, you get a timed opportunity to choose a different character to play?
fun fact: the scratch on a wall from hazard's leap never goes away
letting u know incase u want to use the fact
Its the main man drunkratt himself

Your 8 years into the game. Id love to see an original charcter concept you have that has 0 overlap with any other tanks

Absolutely overpowered. Bro is just a better junker queen
“A bit of this a bit of that” ah hero
This is giving me some hard "Yeah everybody hated that mechanic...let's give it to Steve." Vibes ngl
Feels like the person that designed this character was told that itwas supposed to be a tank after he was done

**Doesn't change voice actor**

You can climb, leap, then climb again. Good for getting up high on few resources.
Welp, I know who I'm playing against those pesky Dooms and Balls now.

If you wall climb and then leap into the wall, you can wall climb again and get to crazy high ground
Somewhere in the distance I hear Pharmercy crying
At this point the Overwatch Team is clearly bullying Ramatra.
If I still played OW I think I would like this guy.
Finally can drop those mosquitos
Aimlabs is free.
This man is just whole aesthetic is the Needler from Halo
He has a better anti air than ramattra. Goddammit
I just wish his leap went a bit higher to actually be an anti air tank, but other than that with a few tweaks he could make a good brawling disruptive tank ngl
Pharah mercy player gonna scream
That's a good thing
He's not just Tank, He's a Disabler and a Wall
Blizzard have been cooking with characters this past year, venture, juno, and now hazard. With a few tweaks, might be the most fun tank in the game

nice, we're at the "this new hero does things." stage
“What Ramatra was supposed to be”
So he’s a tempo tank????
no that's bastion
This feels like a tank to counter ball players
So Parkour muscle guy who is the living embodiment of that one gun in Halo?
You can extend his leap by leaping without pressing spacebar and then holding spacebar as you fly, it can let you ride curves and turns too
I forgot ram’s little gravity thing used to be tall, why’d they change it anyways?
It’s Blizzard’s design philosophy: Ram cannot have nice things. And if he does, take them away.
That is a walking Needler from Halo
OK but can Mei put her wall on top of his wall and vice versa
Yes! Also two hazards can stack walls
this new tank is basically just like playing a stasis subclass in destiny 2 and i'm all here for it
If his e doesn't block as much as ram block then hes alright
I might be coping but the last 3 heroes/reworks they did were actually nice
You can also guard while midair and it looks simply cool
So they nerf Ram, revert it after backlash, and then release a hero that literally replaces ram in term of air denial and in terms of better blocking ability

You can climb that wall if you leap first
Or just climb, leap then climb again lol
I like that you can use his abilities mid jump and still can use the slash after all that.

I really enjoy his play style. Very refreshing
Also his Polish voice actor always cracks me up

His face when the ult hit phara and me dead😭
I can lock down flyers now? Perfect!
I still wont call him by his name. He will forever be Needler guy. He got them needler spikes on his back
Fun fact, his shotgun starts with one pellet but the farther you shoot the more pellets it gets, to a maximum of 9 I believe.
You can cancel the jump with wall climb btw
