6:17 bonus tip: You can have the best of both worlds if you make the confirmation button ”ability 2 release” you can just click it like normal But if you hold it you get the indicator
ye I feel like this is the best option, some people defend the confirmation saying that it's more precise but on the other hand you are much slower so this is literally perfect
A note on the Jagged Wall confirmation options. There's an option to have the placement preview while the button is held, and have it fire on button release. This is kinda the best of both worlds, since if you just tap the button, it's the same as the no-placement option, and if you want the placement option, you just hold the button.
no literally maybe i’m biased bc i never really played ow1 a bunch but i love the feeling of “even if i lose it’s fun to play on this hero” type heroes and sometimes it feels like you HAVE to win to have a satisfying game loop on certain heroes. could just be a skill issue😅
You make a good point. Frankly I enjoy all the new heroes. I mained Kiriko for a long time and still play her, Junker Queen and Rammattra are both very fun Tanks and Mauga has his moments. Illari was great before they nerfed her gun because DPS heroes were melting everything with her. Lifeweaver's really the only one where they dropped the ball, but I like the risk they took with him. I still enjoy playing him but I know there's games where I'm weak with him.
If this is the direction OW devs wanna go then I'm quite positive about the future of the game tbh. More fun and high skill levels heroes and being transparent to the community in general
I feel like Doom still has a higher skill ceiling but definitely for different reasons than Hazard. Hazard's mode of dmg is incredibly straight forward, one ability is even auto-aim, but his skill is really found in the wall and his mobility of course. Positioning. Doomfist is the same, but instead of that skill ceilimg being one of positioning and coordination (Hazard ult is my main reference here) where he lines up enemies for his teammates too, Doom is a little more precise and focused on himself. He gets the kills, he jumps in, times block right to get charge, he ults to keep himself alive whilst also possibly securing a kill, etc. It's just a matter of playstyle, but I think the fact that Hazard has more teamwork orientation with his plays makes him easier to pick up
Hazard is closer to winston in some ways. He can use his wall in a similar way to bubble and his block is similar to winston's primary fire. He also only has one movement cooldown.
On downpour and the "Regardless of cover" thing - You *can* actually use cover against it, but its a smidge situational. The spikes *dont* actually pierce anything and everything - And they do actually come down at a *slight* angle. If youre up against a wall that is taller than you, and the spikes from from that direction (ie other side of wall), the wall WILL actually block them. Likewise you can block them with defensive abilities - Reins shield, defense matrix, orisas jav spin, genji deflect, etc. Just have to angle up to block them. Even life weavers petal will work - BUT, and as a note to how it comes at an angle: If you put the platform in the air and stand *directly* under it, youll get spiked. You need to step "back" a smidge and be under the edge (opposite side from where the spikes are coming), and itll block em.
"And if he's fun!" HAHAHAHA you're just trying to make people mad. It got engagement out of me! I definitely one tricked him and my life is empty without him in the game.
Theres a high possibility they used altered code from the japanese passive in his wallclimb to skip the step of writing the entire code again. The problem is that when theyve done this in the past it ends up with bugs and issues on the ability, which is what happened with Kiris TP. That ability had some major bugs before they just straight up rewrote the code for it
You can have the wall confirmation button be releasing the wall button, aka, you can have the visual without having it take another press to deploy. I'd recommend doing that cause there's really no downsides
Note about his wall confirm option. You can tune a further option with it to make it fire on button release. So you can hold the button down to preplace but also still insta fire it by just tapping the button. Most optimal setting with best of both worlds.
Spike Guard may be the most "We don't know how to design the game, just make the button do literally everything, OW2.exe" ability in the history of the game. Designed by a ten year old.
His gameplay design is literally so refreshing. I have been playing Overwatch since 2018 but I only started I started playing tank in Overwatch 2 with the release of Junkerqueen and Orisa rework. I HATED Mauga's release. It really just was press buttons and win and I just sucked so bad. Hazard being fun but not to overworked and overpowered is a huge breath of fresh air.
My big thing about Spikeguard is how forgiving the resource is. Whenever I need it, I always feel like I have enough resource. I barely even thought about it.
I've noticed that I quite like playing characters with wall climb, Genji, Hanzo, Kiriko are all in my top 5 most played for ow2. From what I could tell Hazard wall climb somehow feels less consistent. It's not only at a greatly reduced height, but in general it feels like it doesn't grab as consistently and the mantle range feels like it should be further than it is. I'm sure some of the bugs are related to tank's pov vs actual model size is always a bit wonky, but I really hope they clean it up a bit before the actual release. Other than that, sick character that I hope only gets a block auto aim nerf and maybe a slight buff on the shotgun damage falloff range so it is more effective at mid range.
I actually found that hog is the worst to play against. His leap is incredibly slow, so hooking him out of it is easy. While his wall blocks hook, it has kinda low health and gets shredded pretty quick. His block is an equal trade with Hogs take a breather too as the damage isn't high enough to actually drain him.
Ik you said you wouldn’t recommend the walls placement controls but there’s a variation that lets you trigger it on release instead of using a second button press to put it up like meis wall (so you can aim it or just shoot it out fast if you want to)
Bro u forgot a really important technique with him. U can leap and hold rightclick at the same time to max amount of dmg and protect ur self while flying to the target.
i think the block should have its damage reduction reduced, i personally think it makes sense for ramatras block to have the most damage reduction at 80 percent, dooms block at like 75 which is where i think it is, and hazards could lowkey go down to like 50 since its literally just free damage simultaneously as established
Honestly I hope him wall climbing means SOME relation to shimadas. If he just has it to have it, I swear to God blizzard I will find that publicly accessible headquarters...
The only thing I don't like about Hazard is his block projectiles. I think it actively hurts his fun factor a lot. The issue is that his entire kit is high skill expression EXCEPT for block. Because of how strong it is, you're almost forced to use it whenever you get the chance. Why would I try to shoot a character that's A-D strafing with my shotgun when I can just hold one button and stand near them (all while taking less damage). It just sucks to lose so much of his potential skill expression because block is the way it is. I personally wish they'd get rid of his block projectiles entirely & buff some other part of his kit. Maybe improve his primary weapon spread. Maybe while blocking he can reduce his other cooldowns. Just either make the block projectiles less of a crutch or get rid of them entirely. Still think he's the best hero release since OW2 & might be the most fun tank ever made tbh. Just had to rant about his block because it sucks lol
I know you probably get asked this a lot but will you be making marvel rivals content? Venom is like wrecking ball so it would be fun to watch you play him
Don't you think Mauga is also really annoying for Hazard? I didn't have too much trouble with the Orisas I played against during the playtest, but Mauga was tricky
Just hate when teammates try to brawl with him. He gets melted by face tanks. I love Brig so no problem at all playing against him when he's diving. If the enemy Hazard tries to face tank even better, I switch to Zen and make him rage switch/quit. I played him a bit but didn't feel like I was getting the most out of him just because his skill ceiling is so high (and undoubtedly I wasn't playing him ideally). I play D Va very well and I'm not a Tank main so I won't be playing him much.
@@yeatle Let's just agree to disagree. I've played Hazzard all 3 days as well (M2 Doomfist OTP) and while he has more "abilities", I don't think more he has options. Especially when deciding on how to engage the team fight. IMO Doomfist is slightly overturned now, considering Orisa is meta and yet ZBRA and Cartifan are still hitting rank 1. Anyway just have to wait and see
WHAT! THE ONLY GUY WHO THINKS HIS GUNS DAMAGE IS ALRIGHT?!?! I thought i was crazy when people would show ana with actually 5 hp after 2 close up shots… Anyone ever shoot melee shoot before? Guess not.
i think his block should only do damage to players who are 1) near him and 2) actively attacking him. it shouldnt be able to get free kills on a fleeing player you happen to right click nearby on after whiffing your slash from violent leap (not that i did that or anything *smile* )
9:31 No move accel or deccel combined with the most awful animation blendings i've ever seen = this crap Legs are not even following the movement, this is so bad... Awful game, worst animations devs ever
6:17 bonus tip:
You can have the best of both worlds

Bro I saw a short about that I was gonna say it
This is the way
But when I hold e, I can’t press d to move right..
@ you can bind the wall to another button
A note on the Jagged Wall confirmation options. There's an option to have the placement preview while the button is held, and have it fire on button release. This is kinda the best of both worlds, since if you just tap the button, it's the same as the no-placement option, and if you want the placement option, you just hold the button.
I'd comb yeatle's mustache for 15 bucks. Right after a nice hair cut. I'm a barber. Come to my shop.
Wya
To be fair he's one of the cleaner gaming streamers. Hardcore gamers are a sad crowd generally.
Wdy??? He looks really good and clean
@@khele2k Spilo mentioned?
Venture, Juno and Hazard made me much more optimistic and excited for 2025 heroes
no literally maybe i’m biased bc i never really played ow1 a bunch but i love the feeling of “even if i lose it’s fun to play on this hero” type heroes and sometimes it feels like you HAVE to win to have a satisfying game loop on certain heroes. could just be a skill issue😅
Juno annoyed me on tank because hitting her requires skill (rip), but hazard actually is great for hunting her down
You make a good point. Frankly I enjoy all the new heroes. I mained Kiriko for a long time and still play her, Junker Queen and Rammattra are both very fun Tanks and Mauga has his moments.

Mm, maybe not Venture.
As long as they don't drop any more blatant stinkers like LW and mauga we're good
I'm 100% down for that theory. He needs a Made in Japan sticker somewhere on his mods

Hazard looks like Bowser and Peach had a love child
Yapyap mech suit
"And if he's fun!"
HAHAHAHA you're just trying to make people mad. It got engagement out of me! I definitely one tricked him and my life is empty without him in the game.
Love your hero review videos like this Yeatle. Always concise and precise.

Bro you taught me how to play tank years ago in OW1 when the damage queues were way long. If you say Hazard is this good I'm excited!
DF looking at Hazard after his Bhop is eventually removed: First time?
You can have the wall confirmation button be releasing the wall button, aka, you can have the visual without having it take another press to deploy. I'd recommend doing that cause there's really no downsides
Forgot to mention the reaper synergy, it allows reaper to get a near infinite amound of blossom spots, even if they hear him tp no one is looking up
Great hero, it’s like they mixed queen and doomfist
And his personality also is kinda like theirs mixed as well anti institutional anarchy and whatnot
Such fun games, thanks for hosting, Yeatle!
Note about his wall confirm option. You can tune a further option with it to make it fire on button release. So you can hold the button down to preplace but also still insta fire it by just tapping the button. Most optimal setting with best of both worlds.
They hit us with an Orisa buff
There's nothing more fun than playing a map with good high ground and just laughing at Orisa's trying to do anything.
really makes you think about how much they deducted from dooms kit after the rework
Don’t forget your ult can drop phara out of the sky.

An important thing about his ultimate is that it literally pins flyers out of the sky

focus on the movement , the game grows, focus on 1 button out of jail card, the game fails.

just came from an overwatch highlight channel and you’re insane. immediate subscription 💯

And he’s a lot better bs Sombra than other dive tanks- wall isn’t broken by emp and spike guard will hit her if she’s invisible
Junk rat is a very annoying counter just for the sheer size of hazard and his moment.
Bro u forgot a really important technique with him. U can leap and hold rightclick at the same time to max amount of dmg and protect ur self while flying to the target.
Hazard also has a bug that makes your entire team immuned to Sombra’s EMP lol
The ladder is about to be cooked with Yeatle on this character
i think the block should have its damage reduction reduced, i personally think it makes sense for ramatras block to have the most damage reduction at 80 percent, dooms block at like 75 which is where i think it is, and hazards could lowkey go down to like 50 since its literally just free damage simultaneously as established
I love him so much it’s brought back the fun in playing tank
Honestly I hope him wall climbing means SOME relation to shimadas. If he just has it to have it, I swear to God blizzard I will find that publicly accessible headquarters...
Since they removed bhop from Doom's slam they probably gonna do the same for Hazard's leap.
Fun thing: Hazard's gun does more damage than Doomfist's pellets but the TTK is quite a bit slower.
He overall has more sustain damage and is less bursty than doom.
@@abudgie6909 Yeah, doom has 4 ammo with a special 1 by 1 reload. Hazard has 8 and can reload with the block while dealing dmg.
Sidenote: hazard's ult CAN'T BE CLEANSED by Kiriko, at least in the current state of things. In my opinion, it contributes a lot in judging hazard op.
Yo did this MF just call me a Gertrude? How dare he.
I noticed Sym and Pharah were especially annoying to play into as Hazard
They removed doom’s slam b hop.. so they better remove it or give it back to doom
I'm suprised that you didnt mentioned mauga, i found hazard almost unplayable against mauga. i also believe his shotgun need a little buff
The only thing I don't like about Hazard is his block projectiles. I think it actively hurts his fun factor a lot.
The issue is that his entire kit is high skill expression EXCEPT for block. Because of how strong it is, you're almost forced to use it whenever you get the chance.

Poor monkey could never wall climb, or even cling to a ledge.... poor monke...
Don't you think Mauga is also really annoying for Hazard? I didn't have too much trouble with the Orisas I played against during the playtest, but Mauga was tricky
Just gotta avoid the mauga, hes similar to orisa where you won't kill him easily but better because his peel is bad
German roaches are actually super tiny compared to the Murican ones
Just hate when teammates try to brawl with him. He gets melted by face tanks.
I love Brig so no problem at all playing against him when he's diving. If the enemy Hazard tries to face tank even better, I switch to Zen and make him rage switch/quit.

With parts made in Japan... SECRET SECRET, I GOT A SECRET
It's funny to see people's responses to Hazard. Much like Juno, people are split on him being OP and trash. Personally I think he's pretty balanced.
This game needs mutations in ranked to spice things up
Insane take for what tanks hazard is bad against.
Iys literally hog, orisa n mauga
super video as always ! I agree he's super fun and hard to master.
4:45 TANK MEI CONFIRMED?!?
bro called me gertrude 😭
doom def has a higher skill ceiling imo, but its close, i just think with rollouts its infinite
Meanwhile Fats: "hEs BAlAnCed"
Lol why are you so mad bro. Flats is just doing his job, simply don't take in that information. Don't be such a crybaby bitch about it.
S-tier you say? Nerf.
Anyone ever tell you you look like Professor Dave's younger brother?
ain’t no way he has a higher ceiling than doom
i really like his combos and mobility but the wall fling bug and wall climb bug make him really annoying to play sometimes
Higher skill ceiling than Doomfist? 🤣
hazard is really fun but only people that cant play doomfist would think hes a higher skill ceiling than doom
It's simple math, there's just more options on hazard.
people really glaze doom and how hard he is
@@yeatle Let's just agree to disagree.
I've played Hazzard all 3 days as well (M2 Doomfist OTP) and while he has more "abilities", I don't think more he has options. Especially when deciding on how to engage the team fight.

Anyway just have to wait and see
N0thing but just d00m fist reference fact…
I think they just need to nerf his armor and he will be fine
17 seconds ago is crazy
beat me too it
I just wish his primary was a single crystal shot instead of another wonky shotgun 😴
WHAT! THE ONLY GUY WHO THINKS HIS GUNS DAMAGE IS ALRIGHT?!?!
I thought i was crazy when people would show ana with actually 5 hp after 2 close up shots…
Anyone ever shoot melee shoot before? Guess not.
Why he not on console
Mauga and hod destroy him as much as sig. I am gonna main him or co main him with ball.
Has anybody realized that hazard has been removed?
i think his block should only do damage to players who are 1) near him and 2) actively attacking him. it shouldnt be able to get free kills on a fleeing player you happen to right click nearby on after whiffing your slash from violent leap (not that i did that or anything *smile* )
yetle good plyer
why private matches
To avoid long tank queues
Why yeatle starting to look like unsalted salt?😅
Nerf idea: no homing spikes for block. They just fly off randomly.
Why
He's Parkouring! Not wall climbing :P xp
they will nerf him to reality errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Overwatch reality before he comes out.
His parts were made in Japan lol
Naa I heard he's half Japanese
The tech has a name? Its just a buffered input b hop which is possible on doom, winston, and ball, no?
There are better tank options. I just don't see a reason to practice him when you can just roll your face on the keyboard with another tank
The same goes for any honest tank. The problem is with orisa/mauga/hog/ram, not the others
I just don't like his design, paladin looking as hero lol
I don't think he does one anything particularly well and you need to have a clear specialty to be a strong tank in this game.
9:31 No move accel or deccel combined with the most awful animation blendings i've ever seen = this crap

Awful game, worst animations devs ever
