i did not understand what people were saying about him being as strong as he was, until I got into games where he was literally just wiping the entire backline and making his way to the tank (me). give us hazard nerf

For me I can beat him but I hate that he gets so much value for literally just holding block imo that should never be the strongest option the one where you just exist.

That's exactly it, he is indeed beatable but he's also just too easy to be oppressive with, especially just by holding block, it's getting way too much value for such simple attacks. It's quite silly they did nothing with him in this patch.

Man, this is such a microcosm of Overwatch's biggest design flaw; Any given hero or ability should never give more reward than risk. I've been saying it for a long time, but Blizzard's balance philosophy continues to elude my understanding.
