    From the Developer Update:

    Hammond cannot talk or speak any other human language. That would be completely ridiculous, as we all know.

      Right? No way there's room in Overwatch's continuity for a talking animal. That would just be crazy.

    I just got done testing Ham out on the PTR, this is a really fun Hero and is really going to shake up the meta. Might be my new Tank. I usually play D.Va, but Ham is very mobile and high DPS, and his Ult is a great area-denial move.
