See a lot of strange takes, a lot of defeatism in the mind. Why try brain when giving up is easier?
This is a post about Mauga/ Roadhog vs Ana Amari.
Hog does not care about Sleep, cause he can still heal himself. What he is afraid of is getting Naded sitting at a corner and he is vulnerable for the next 4 seconds because he may be in a bad position or may get pushed.
Mauga does not care about Nade because he has a run mechanic that cannot be CC’d, what he is afraid of is Sleep because he cannot run and he takes a bit of time to start self healing which may not be enough time especially if your Tank is smart enough to LOS and let your DPS kill him.
Thank you.
Not quite the right mode of thinking.
The intention of Roadhog vs Ana is to save dart or bionade specifically for when he tries to use breather or go for a play. Is he trying to whole hog? Sleep him for 5/8sec of his duration.
Did he just try to hook someone? Bionade hog AND your ally to save them and cripple hog from healing immediately after the damage. Wait until you see hog at like ~1/2 → 2/3 health. An area he might try using breather, then bionade and you might catch him early on a read or on an escape. Better yet, wait until you see breather pulled, then cancel with bionade or sleep dart.
The thing is that roadhog will always take damage and be forced to use breather BEFORE Ana is ever pressured to use sleep dart for something else.
The same mindset applies to Mauga. Did Mauga just decide to rush in? Well, he’s about to take a bunch of damage point blank as he can’t run away anymore. Bionade him around low HP after your team is focus firing him to end his life. Sleep dart is more of a… you need to escape or something or you want to prevent Mauga from walking away.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that, I’m a hog main who ults tanks or on point.
It’s a nice thought, but it doesn’t happen.
Good against tanks cause they can follow up as hog can’t 1 shot them.
Yes he is afraid of Nade.
Hog does not use breather in the open, as a hog main I put myself at risk the most when I’m trying to land a hook.
Unfortunately Anas don’t know this and usually wait to sleep my breather.
I’ve won games throwing javelin at hog when he hooks my team, I dont shoot him or ult him because I know he can’t kill me so why bother.
It was easy to land and I didn’t have to overextend by using all my abilities.
Good Mauga will not waste their only ability that stops them from getting slept to run in when they can just walk.
He can run away quite easily, not saying he can’t be chased but Mauga can buffer this by leaving early.
