Give Hog players their own queue

Enemy Hog is beyond easy to predict too - he will always sit around some environmental kills. Nepal sanctum he will never even approach the objective point wihout his ult, so just shield the side with pillars and live on the point.

Expect all que times to double as we lose half our tank players.

Honestly, are they even tank players at that point if they’re playing to flank and kill?

Just sounds like a way to skip Q times… :man_shrugging:

Rather than relying on these players who are playing hog to skip the DPS Q, we should aim for main tank/other off tanks to be more enjoyable.

So if I’m reading correctly that means there’s (at least) 1 slot for a hog in EVERY group……I don’t think that’s what OP wanted……:sweat_smile:

It’s almost as if there’s a tank problem where tanks get deleted in seconds unless they play as shield bots. people auto lock Hog and Ball torture because you at least have to respect them as threats. Dps swarm rein and orisa like piranhas Hog needs to be respected. Also no one really cares about meta anymore since its changing to 5v5 so team play has been in the toilet.

If you have to incentivize players to play a role then that role isn’t balanced properly.

But having a hog is awesome as zarya. They’re often a lot more open to risk so I can keep higher charge levels easier

Because heroes like ball/hog/dva are the most close thing you have to being happy while playing tank

Roadhog is fine imo. It’s just annoying to have him on your team if he isn’t at least decent but just feeding all game. Combine that with another tank player going zarya and you have one of the worst tank combination in the game.

And then once you realize that the enemies are running double shield in 2CP, you’re left to wonder why bother even trying. But at the same time, if you leave the game you get penalty in competitive mode.

But without hog I can’t do the funny of hooking people into a pit :pleading_face:

Also, I think one of reason people hate having roadhog in their team is because tanks in general have one of the highest throw potential in the game. So roadhog is kind of like a widowmaker or doomfist. If he isn’t popping off, he’s soft throwing by not contributing to his team passively with a shield (which protects his teammates from poke damage).

So for me, a good roadhog player, I love. But a bad roadhog players who can’t kill anything and stays on him the whole game even when being hard countered by ana and zen, I do not like as much.

Wrecking ball is starting to grow on me the more I learn how to play him. I still find ball + flanker DPS a little too oppressive to face against as support. But when I play tank, going ball is so much fun <3

It should be votable to ban one Hero each match.

How dare tanks play the only fun tank in the game

This is so much. Nothing destroys the fun of the game more than Roadhog.
The players abusing him because they not want to play fair are even worse.
