The bug discovered by @Grch0mp_ allows Hazard to execute his block ability for an infinite duration. This is a game-breaking feature that will definitely compromise the competitive integrity of the title.

While the hero inherently possesses quite a strong block ability, which incorporates 75% damage reduction, this ability only lasts for approximately 3.5 seconds, or until his resource meter is exhausted.

Judging by the severity of the issue, we do believe that the developers at Blizzard Entertainment will take quick notice of this problem and issue a hotfix to patch the hero. Meanwhile, we speculate that Hazard will be disabled from Quick Play and the Competitive game modes until a solution is devised for this bug.

We strongly recommend that players do not attempt this game-breaking bug in their Quick Play or Competitive matches in Overwatch 2 Season 18. Doing so might be considered as voluntarily exploiting unfair gameplay mechanics, and this might lead to your account getting temporarily or permanently banned from the title.
