I might get flamed here but I'm looking for an updated Hammond guide or tips as I've started playing Hammond in comp and I really enjoy it and I'd like to try climbing with him. All of the guides I've found are old and do not include newer updates (not even his buffed shield). Could someone point me in the right direction? I prefer text because the YouTube videos often make me cringe but whatever you all feel is most helpful, thanks.

I'd also love to see tips in the comments. I'm most interested in in what roll or objectives I should be focusing on, what are his counters and what to do about them, ult usage or just anything you wish you knew earlier on.
