Read moreWhile the competition at the Overwatch Champions Series heats up, let's dive into the newest tank hero that is playable all weekend before joining the game in Season 14! Hazard is a charismatic and contrarian punk rocker who might look a little rough around the edges but is a fierce defender at heart. So, in case you missed all the action at DreamHack: Stockholm, here is everything you need to know about his kit, concept, and backstory.
Hazard’s gameplay is a momentum-based blend between dive and brawl playstyles that will leave opponents running for cover. His overall kit is powered by abilities that empower his mobility, Jagged Wall and Violent Leap. You’ll dive into the backline to attack low-health heroes but can easily shift back to the front line to keep the opposing tank in check.
Jagged Wall creates a spiky wall of Vanadium that will stick to any surface, including walls and ceilings, that damages ...

Read morePatch 31.0.3 is rolling out today with the following updates:
Dev Comments: The goal of this patch is to focus on The Great Dark Beyond. The power level of new decks and archetypes is lower than we intended it to be, and older archetypes are more dominant than we’d like. To make new decks and cards stand out more, we’re weakening a number of cards (mostly from older sets) and strengthening others (all from The Great Dark Beyond).
Our long-term ambition is for the overall power level of the game to be closer to The Great Dark Beyond than the power level of the sets before it, but we think some buffs are warranted and needed to hit our immediate goal encouraging exploration in The Great Dark Beyond. Between balancing our immediate and long-term goals, plus the sheer number of changes in this patch, we expect there will be some level of follow-up adjustments that we plan to work on in the next balance patch wind...
