Mei, Junkrat, and three more heroes that can be paired up with Hazard in Overwatch 2

Here's a list of all characters who are suitable to pair with Hazard in Overwatch 2:

1) Mei

The Scottish Tank's unique abilities like Spike Guard and Jagged Wall inflict a lot of burst damage over time. As a result, those abilities can combine well with Mei's kit. The combination of Mei's Endothermic Blaster's Alt Fire and Hazard's Downpour will be disastrous for the enemies. Other than that, a timely combo of Mei's and Hazard's ultimates can turn the tide in their favor at any given time.

2) Junkrat

Junkrat is a versatile DPS with abilities that greatly complement the upcoming Scottish hero. Since Hazard's Downpour can trap any hero within a certain range of its impact, the Australian thief's Frag Launcher and concussion mine or RIP-Tyre will form the perfect set of abilities to finish an enemy team off within seconds.

3) Genji

Hazard's Violent Leap ability will likely make him a great dive hero. And when talking about dive compositions, the first hero that comes to mind is Genji. Being one of the most difficult heroes to play with, Genji can annoy any enemy team with his erratic movement and shuriken.

Paired with Hazard's Spike Guard ability and lethal ultimate, Genji has a massive potential to clean any enemy team, especially low-health characters with his Swift Strike. On top of that, a timely ultimate from both heroes (Genji-Dragonblade and Hazard-Downpour) can create chaos on the battlefield.

4) Kiriko

Kiriko is an S-Tier Support hero in Overwatch 2 Season 15. Given the value of her abilities, she remains a stable meta pick across all seasons in the game. Despite Hazard's erratic movement due to his Passive and Violent Leap abilities, Kiriko can easily heal him with her Healing Ofudas regardless of his position.

Furthermore, her Protection Suzu is a fantastic ability that helps players cleanse anti negative status effects from Hazard. Lastly, the duo can use the help of Kiriko's ultimate ability to easily turn the tides of a match.

5) Illari

Despite not being a top choice in the current meta, Illari can be paired well with Hazard in Overwatch 2. It can be problematic to heal a hero with an erratic movement like the Scottish Tank. In such situations, Illari's Pylon comes into play.

Proper positioning of the Pylon beyond enemy sights should provide constant heal flows to the upcoming character. Additionally, Illari's Solar Strike and Hazard's Downpour are lethal enough to shred an entire enemy team within seconds.
