“Too perfect to be true”: Overwatch 2 community reacts to Hazard x Ben 10 skin concept

The Overwatch 2 community has one of the most active subreddits in the world, with over five million members. Many talented fans actively share concept designs on it daily. Recently, Redditor u/Onframer shared a Hazard concept skin inspired by Diamondhead, one of the alien characters from the popular kids show Ben 10. It gained over 5,500 upvotes and 240 comments within a day, and has become one of the top weekly posts on the Overwatch subreddit.

Hazard in Overwatch 2 is an upcoming tank hero, set to release in the game's Season 14 on December 10, 2024. Hazard's physical build bears a close resemblance to Diamondhead, which the creator leveraged.

However, no viral Reddit post is complete without disagreements and criticism. For example, u/AlternativeZucc mentioned that he dislikes crossovers and would hate to see this in the game, while u/doge_42001 believes that Diamondhead would look more accurate on Kiriko instead.
