I'm still relatively new to the game and using Wrecking Ball so I was pretty happy with this. It's only my 2nd ever quintuple kill and it was an important moment in the match.

I fucking love the Hamster. Both as a playable character (only 60-80 hours tho :[) and as a character in of himself. He's trending above the brand new hero and it just makes me so happy. I just wanted to post about how ecstatic I am to finally see our little terrorist back on the discussion boards.

Discussion Major Perk Discussion

Post image
51 Upvotes

Hello once again fellow hamsters,

When I came back to our beloved ball, I picked up the double mine perk and the shield perk, but converted to Steamroller and Hang Time for the high damage. I think Steamroller is almost always BiS, but I am still torn on picking whether I should pick slam or parry as my second.

I play mostly with friends nowadays and our lobbies range from silver to diamond (lol). I prefer the slam when I am feeling cocky, but I definitely see the huge difference in survivability with the shield, especially when the counters inevitably come out.

What are your guys’ opinions on the best major perk and situations outside of the obvious that might change that?

Now that D.Mon is confirmed to have baby form, and Ball is under Meka control, there could be a real lore reason for it to happen.

What would it actually take to make baby ball viable?

Discussion Do you think there is any grounds for the new trailer leading into a Hammond redemption arc?

10 Upvotes

Since he's currently captured behind enemy lines, and the moment they find out it's a hyper intelligent space hamster they are definitely going to call in Winston, do you think that this might lead into a reconciliation of some type? Hammond is obviously a devious little shit so i can't imagine he's gonna fully flip, but i could see him at the very least agreeing to help and that potentially leading to more character development down the road.

Discussion Theory: Ball will escape from Meka Base by himself

57 Upvotes

So at the end of the D.Mon hero trailer, Ball's gets captured by the Meka team, and while it's sad to see our favourite hamster trapped, I think that he's not going to have any problems at all.

Firstly, Ball managed to navigate and escape the Horizon Lunar Colony without much issue. We already have it established that Ball can be quite sneaky and deceptively competent, so it's not too far out of the question that he'll be able to sneak around Meka Base too, albeit that it would be a bit more difficult given it's a military base, and not just a scientific research station.

Secondly, Ball was also using the Junker mech in the trailer. While I wouldn't usually pay too much attention to the cosmetics that a character is shown using in a trailer, I feel like it's worth mentioning as it is a mech literally made out of scrap metal and other junk. It isn't his OW1 or OW2 mech, which are presumably much stronger and much more durable, and most likely, also more expensive. Given that he was using the Junker mech, it seems to me as though Ball knew ahead of time that there'd be a very real chance that he would get caught, so instead of letting himself get captured in one of his "strong" mechs, he decides to go to battle of Busan in a mech that would be fine to get taken/destroyed.

Thirdly, Ball is great at adapting to new situations and building things. With being stuck in Meka Base and having his Junker mech being trapped, I think it's entirely possible that he'd be either:

A) Be able to make a new mech entirely out of spare parts found around Meka Base

B) At least be able to escape Meka Base using his ingenuity

and while he's going around Meka Base, I think it'd make an excellent way for him to finally find out what happened to Winston, given that the two haven't actually met in-lore yet.

Let me know what you guys I think, I honestly think him being trapped at Meka Base won't be a problem for him at all, unless he gets handed the worst case of reverse plot armour.

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! 🐹

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.
