Overwatch 2 Season 14: New Hero Hazard Shakes Up Gameplay with Powerful Jagged Wall Ability
  • One of Hazard's standout abilities, Jagged Wall, boasts 400 health, deals 50 base damage, and has a knockback effect that can significantly impact gameplay.

  • This ability can eliminate a full-health Orisa in a single shot, highlighting its formidable power.

  • Orisa's health configuration complicates this interaction, as she has 150 health in open queues, 300 in role queues, and an additional 325 armor.

  • There is speculation that the knockback effect of Jagged Wall might be a bug, as it can send characters flying off-screen when hit directly underneath.

  • A recent clip shared by a Reddit user showcased Hazard effectively using Jagged Wall against Orisa on the Rialto map, resulting in her being knocked off-screen.

  • Players are developing counter strategies against Jagged Wall, including the use of barriers and abilities like D.Va's Defense Matrix, Sigma's Kinetic Grasp, and Orisa's Javelin Spin.

  • Blizzard is expected to address any potential bugs with Hazard's abilities as they continue to roll out updates for Overwatch 2.

  • As a live-service game, Overwatch 2 regularly introduces new content, including characters, Battle Passes, and hero balancing each season.

  • Season 14 of Overwatch 2 has introduced a 6v6 role queue, the new Tank hero Hazard, and the Mythic Thor Reinhardt skin.

  • Hazard, the 42nd hero in Overwatch 2, made his debut on December 10, 2024, and will be part of the game until February 18, 2025.
