Blizzard: "We thought the Jet-pack Cat was too out-there for Overwatch"
Also Blizzard: "Have a Hamster in a death-ball."
Cutest hero in the game right there

I like how the c is cut off sort of like "hampion"
hampster... champion...
It probably isn't the hero though:

Makes sense, because we didn't get a dev update yet.
It's thursday, so if this is actually the reveal we'll know in roughly 3 hours if the timing is consistent with past character releases.
It's pretty fucking out there, that's for sure
I guess at least they're having some kind of fun in revealing the latest mess to the infinite fuckfest
So Richard Hammond is now a hamster in Overwatch? Living up to the nickname
I feel like this is a Misdirection. It is missing everything that nornally comes with a new hero reveal. Also they don't call the heroes "champions"
Give us Mama Hong and the original version of Zarya who was supposed to ride around on a bear with dual AK-47s.
Oh for fuck sake.
Hammond
Ham (Hamster)
Mond (German for moon?)
I swear, if the next hero will really turn out to be the Queen of Junkertown then I as well will discover this "main hero" concept you guys keep talking about
Still waiting for a decent Spy-knockoff in OW..
I figured that the term "champion" is used to reference the supposed 'reigning champion' of the Junkertown Queen's thunderdome and that as such this isn't the actual 'hero' but rather a component of who the 'true' hero is: There's a possibility that the hamster and their ball is part of an ability set, though this could be disproven given that the ball appears like it could encompass all the abilities necessary to form a hero. After all, given that this hamster ball is supposedly the reigning champion I don't think one could be blamed for assuming that perhaps the rolling ball bot has ties to the Queen and possibly even of her own design while the hamster is.. Well, her pet hamster.
I could be in denial, though.
I cant beelive hamtaro is the new overwatch hero
Please no. Invis coupled with insta kills are still giving me nightmares.

A new age of hamtaro AMVs is coming.
That lore is really bad.
"He was there the whole time guys"
not a big fan of the whole talking animals thing, hopefully he’s fun to play and not BS (spoiler: he probably will be)
at least winston made sense, gorrillas and monkeys are incredibly smart so that totally isn’t out of the realm of realistic sci fi
they actually fucking did it, the godamn madmen
i thought it was a joke at first, but nope, its just a full on fucking hamster
i can understand having one intelligent animal, but this just seems really fuckin stupid
didn't they say that they weren't going to be doing anymore animal heroes or what
Now they have ZERO excuses to not add Jetpack Cat, please make it happen, I need a whole animal team
Does this mean we can get jetpack cat now
He can't talk though, he uses a robot voice to communicate.
His abilities sound kinda fun, especially the swinging and rolling parts.
That grappling hook thing sounds super fun
Actually I thought of that god awful penguin piloted mech from Battleborn. I think the rolling mech would actually be a good Omnic design, but fuck it, we have hamster plushes to sell.
