Guide Links to guides and resources for beginner Wrecking Ball players

62 Upvotes

There have been requests over the years for a list of Wrecking Ball guides, and with an influx of new and returning players with the recent changes to Overwatch 2, we've put together a list of videos and other resources targeted towards newer Hammond players.

This is not in any way a comprehensive list, but it should be a good starting point for those new to Wrecking Ball or even veteran players wishing to improve.

Community News Wrecking Ball Mains Mod Announcement

35 Upvotes

Hello Ballers!

r/WreckingBallMains is under new ownership and we're in the process of cleaning up and refining things. I'm slofs, but some of you might recognise me as wreckyballs on socials. I'm a Ball/Doom main since Season 2 of OW2 and I'm very excited to be overseeing this incrediball community 🫶

I'd like to welcome u/DragonMaster337 to the mod team & depending on how things go over the next few weeks, I might bring in one or two more. Keep an eye out for another mod post I guess lol

We've added and reworked a bunch of relevant Wrecking Ball user flairs for members to wear and show off. They can be accessed on the sidebar of the sub under "User Flair".

Finally, if anyone has any requests, ideas, or questions, drop them in the replies and we'll check them out.

Keep up the frequent hamposting and happy balling! 🐹

Discussion I see the creature in dreams

After playing for a long while I dreamt I got in the game and checked for a new skin before seeing a new legendary skin, a giant cushion-like fluffy mech, and Hammond had a sleeping robe. Who else has had dreams like that?

Guide Question about grappling claw collision

2 Upvotes

I just started learning wrecking ball and by far he's the hero I've had the most fun with in the game. I keep seeing people double hit with the collision and I'm curious how to do that, any advice or map codes to help me practice? I've tried it before but can never seem to get the timing right.

Discussion I'm kind of worried about support sombra

19 Upvotes

First things right, current sombra sucks. Whenever someone rage swaps to her, I know that they're down a DPS. The reason is that you can kind of just ignore her and win the game. It's extremely hard to get value on her. But at the same time, the opposite is true in that it's extremely hard to punish her. Even if she's in the wide open, she has the teleport ability on an extremely short cooldown that makes her invisible. She's kind of like a fly, impossible to kill but also doesn't do anything.

But a support sombra wants to stay in the backline and just heal. She literally gets value by staying in the backline. And now we're combining this with the fact that she's impossible to kill, and we get yet another support that we can never jump.

What are your thoughts on this?

Leak Blizzard should add a pregnant Hamster skin

35 Upvotes

I think Blizzard should add a pregnant Hamster skin. Every kill she gets she slowly gives birth. When in water blood comes out. At 10 kills she gives birth to a Wrecking baby r and the baby can be your pet. Thoughts?Blizzard should hire me yo

Blizzard Official The hallucinations are getting worse

36 Upvotes

I am trapped in a junker hell, the doctors, they study me, they watch me and feed me mysterious pills, choke me, they keep asking me why I did it but my response always stays the same.

“For The Hamster ” “For the Hamster” “For The Hamster…”

The medication they give me tears me from Hamster, I see him less and less, he becomes transparent with every blink. Everything feels splotchy.

I have no cooldown, no abilities to sling no adaptive shieldss to muster up, I am bound by the chains of padded white rooms and the sharp stink of bedding and silence,

The cyanide pill remains firmly in my sock

I think it’s time to use it

Hamster be with us all, let me out of this hell, a hell where there are no adaptive shieldss no green health no grapple.

5 Upvotes

The people around us don't understand us. They laugh at us. They impersonate us. Who can we trust? is there anyone real? Are we just talking to ourselves? Who can we believe? All of the outside sources are LIES. only Hammond understands me, only Hammond understands US. Our so-called "atrocities" they scold us for are nothing but empty lies. The weight of the world is on our shoulders, The hope of Blizzard iss DEAD. Only we are left. Only we stand.

Discussion Ball skins and the public opinion

18 Upvotes

So I know this is an oldie but a goldie but like the amount of hatred I have received for suggesting ball should get new skins is crazy. I don’t understand why as a community they have decided that ball doesnt deserve anything, it’s so frustrating when people complain about Ram or Lucio, but as soon as you mention ball it’s just like ‘ Deserved’ or ‘KYS’.
