Best Counter Roadhog
Sym.
Good luck trying to heal through that burn Piggy. Simple to do too. Stick to your own tank like glue and go in with primary charge beam whenever the Roadhog tries to commit to something.
Ad a Tank, most brawlers with heavy dps can wittle down tank hard. Though you need to compensate for the Hog’s ability to last long in a fight if attrition and give your team something back as well. Whether it would good poke, Ram Mauga Sigma, to stress enemy supports and dps because Hog doesn’t have much mitigation for anything other then himself or utilizing things like Jqueen to anti the Hog personally.
Hog is strong mostly because many playerd don’t know how to positivelt counteract sustaun these days without literally going 1 for 1, IE suicidal charges, or firing blindly hoping something dies with no focus to their dps.
Ana and bastion. For tank mauga but thats literally every tank
This is not a great suggestion. Symmetra after losing her +25 hp is a very close range character if you are trying to play in her primary fire range. She takes like ~2seconds to ramp up to maximum damage and you are having a requirement to stick to your tank which adds dependency. Symmetra’s greatest advantage is mostly making it difficult for him to approach.
The hook + trap set-up is something Symmetra doenst’ want to play with at all. A better suggestion would something like Reaper. For the risk you are putting yourself at trying to play close range, Reaper can wraith out of a hook. With the reduced damage Hog does, Reaper can survive a vanilla hook combo unless stacked with trap. You can wraith out. WHile at the same time a failed attempt lets you shotgun blast him in the face for more damage than Symmetra AND you have the sustain to keep pressuring Roadhog even under other fire. Reaper is a useful non-tank reliant way to challenge hog’s space as a DPS without as much support from support healing or tank.
Mei is another anti-hog option because Roadhog has no mobility, so slowing him down further while applying a 100 DPS dot is very handy. Mei is bulky enough to survive a hook combo attempt. While at the same time offering a wall behind hog to cut off healing and cut off his retreat allowing you to collapse upon him as a team. This is a more team oriented approach
Bastion is hit or miss. Roadhog has the hook threat to prevent Bastion from wanting to wander too close to Hog, but if Hog is not careful with positioning/timing he might below up from the high damage output.
Usually, the best counter her will depend upon context to way what the enemy team is running. If the enemy team has an Ana + Hog, then Mei looks a bit more tantalizing as a pick because you can intentionally give your team support to remove hog healing from Ana very easily while contributing meaningful DPS against him.
Many times what make hog hard to take down is both himself AND double support pocket. However, Mei falls off as a pick if your team is playing something like Winston/Genji because they don’t want to attack Hog. Winston/Genji is the “we want to kill the backline strat, so you should double up on a DPS to do that”.
