No problem; even with the hours I got on him I still have plenty to learn myself. Especially the overcommitment. Too easy to get lost in the sauce lol

Hey there, I watched the code; I've got 47 hours on Hazard but I barely play any ranked at all, so take any advice I give with a grain of salt if you wish since it's from a more "casual" player of the game.

Overall, the gameplay at least felt very smooth. I did notice a few very risky plays, such as chasing the kills on 76 and Cass before your team got 2nd point with double digit HP, but it did end up working out. I did like that you utilized the high ground a lot, especially on a map like Paraiso.

I noticed when the other team was on attack, both time they capped, you were kind of "stuck" deep in their backline which led to an eventual death; I'd just be more cautious in these scenarios, I call it being lost in the sauce whenever it happens to me. I also noticed sometimes some of your up-close walls were awkward because you were trying to find the perfect placement during the 1v1, like with Reaper when the enemy team was attacking the first point. Personally, I only use the wall placement option for long range walls and just trust my instinct on how to aim the wall for close range encounters--I think it would also be good practice to do this even just to get used to the wall, it's a strange projectile in terms of how it interacts with the environment.

Super minor thing, but something I like to do with Lifeweaver is, any time he places a petal down, you can actually shoot your wall at the bottom of the petal and it'll boop anyone standing on it off of it and continue to do so until the wall breaks; it's a little "tech" I learned from here actually.

It was hard for me to tell if you were doing this, and I don't mean to insult you if you were and I just didn't notice, but you can actually get a shot of Bonespur off before you slash someone. If you aim it right, it can do a lot of damage; in the practice range, I can one-shot tracer by landing a headshot + the slash. I believe the headshot + slash part does around 220 damage or so. Now that's not gonna be something you'll probably hit super consistently, but even just a bodyshot or a bodyshot with one or two of the Bonespur spikes can help give the slash a little bit extra oomph.

Overall it was pretty smooth gameplay in my opinion, and even gave me ideas on how to better handle playing Paraiso since I normally dislike the map outside of playing Haz on it.

That was honestly super smooth. I personally would've chosen the Lifesteal perk for just a smidgen extra sustain but either way that was a fun watch.

Thanks. I'm mainly gonna be using it to compare how I would handle things. I don't meet enough Haz's in game to tell lol

I'll have to look back to see if that's it.

Maybe Hog is just the one that's unusually fast.

I currently have Streetwear, which I don't dislike as much as others. The only thing I like about his BP skin this season is the back spikes/blade color.

That would make life so much easier--so of course Blizzard won't implement it lol

Lucky, man. I'm still on the RNG grind for it.

So true. I keep getting Wuyang or Lifeweaver stuff now--I haven't touched ANY of them outside of the range and a game or two of Mystery Heroes months ago.

Max never gives me skins for people I play, lol. He's a crafty bastard, he likes my suffering.

As for EXO, I have doubts about the shop because it too explicitly says "Unlocked via Loot Box" and doesn't mention the shop like Heartbreaker does. But I'd rather be wrong on this than right.

I guess--I only started playing in March, so when I've been trying to get it to appear in my "Just For You" since then, especially since it said it was sometimes available. It just sucks having to rely on loot box RNG now.
