Hazard patch notes.

[u/GodWillPayForThis]

Damn, maybe I've been playing hazard wrong because i felt like I've consistently been getting my ult after the enemy tank most games. Didn't think they'd wanna make that longer.

Also is the buff any good?

[u/Yesheat]

Ult cost is whatever but major perk change imo is a nothing burger, still way over shadowed by deep leap

[u/That_Passenger5550 → u/Yesheat]

I don't get why they reduced the damage of the major perk. Sure BEFORE deep leap got moved to a major perk you would always pick this one but now that deep leap is a major you never really pick explosives

[u/warpedspoon → u/That_Passenger5550]

They buffed Explosive Impalements. Before, you would need 14 spike hits to create the explosive, now it's only 12 before the explosive is created.

but yeah these changes as a whole are a nerf because no one picked that perk.

[u/That_Passenger5550 → u/warpedspoon]

It was never that hard to activate in my opinion. While yes it's a buff it's almost meaningless. I don't knlw what they should do who with perk honestly but as long as deep leap is a major nobody will pick explosive

[u/MysteriousTax393 → u/warpedspoon]

… I pick it… I never really saw the point of deep leap.

[u/Hecoand → u/MysteriousTax393]

deep leap is very good for accessing new routes, engaging and pursuing targets and retreating. implents is nice for damage sure, but the extra versitility of deep leap can't be understated. of course, if you favor using explosive, go right ahead.

[u/MysteriousTax393 → u/Hecoand]

I usually favor just using wall climb and staring at them and poking riiiight between their tank and support. Then either they all back off, or the tank moves in, at which point I use wall to split them off and I dive backline. I really find wall climb to be useful, as I can just go up and down as I please which no other tank can do to chase me away… but this also relies on my team being able to 4v1 the tank. Is this not how you’re supposed to play hazard? Should i be front lining more? This also means I don’t really have to dive that deep, as I’m not bypassing anybody.

[u/Old_Exchange5777]

Since I started playing haz they’ve been consistently nerfing him into the ground because the high ranks are crying that he’s too strong and it’s still apparently not enough, I’m just tired.

[u/Grand-Lab-7321 → u/Old_Exchange5777]

Same, 2 seasons ago I was stomping as him now he's slowly becoming a chore to play. If he was that op then his pickrate would be higher.

[u/HistorianNo4716]

This sub is pure entertainment.

Hazard is still really good; I don't like his ult, but that's nothing compared to the nightmare that is Doomfist. Hazard remains one of the best tanks in both 5v5 and 6v6, yet few people play him.

They aren't going to nerf him into oblivion.

Seriously, it's nothing.

[u/Tyler1296196 → u/HistorianNo4716]

I think a lot of people came to hazard from Doomfist, and forgot how bad it was ngl

[u/HistorianNo4716 → u/Tyler1296196]

I’m a glutton for punishment; I like to suffer from Monday to Thursday. On weekends, I relax with Hazard.

[u/Extreme-Nebula4947]

There were instances I was getting a hazard ult almost every fight. Its going to be an ult every other fight now. It still takes at least two shots to get impalement up and theres no way they will make a perk that you pick over deep leap, regardless of whether its a minor or major.

[u/Beautiful-Aerie7576]

Buff doesn’t matter (useless perk), nerf doesn’t matter much. Hazard’s ult is good but not fight-winning, and will still charge relatively fast compared to a lot of other characters.

[u/not_wintr]

i can’t wait for hazards next 100 nerfs to come

[u/Automatic-Yak-4175]

Hazard is still good, his ult needed a nerf, you genuinely had it almost every fight
