Hog buffs suggestion

General Discussion
1

Roadhog is pretty decent right now, but he has some inconsistency with his hook combo. When you hook someone out of the air, half of the time the enemy survives the shot because of the weird angle. I’m suggesting a small damage buff alongside with some other changes to make Roadhog feel better to play.

Roadhog

Scrap Gun

  • Damage per pellet increased from 6.6 to 7
  • Recovery time increased from 0.85 to 1.00 second.

Take a Breather

  • Ability to walk/run/jump etc during take a breather removed
  • Damage reduction increased from 50% to 75%

You are a brave man suggesting Hog should be buffed. The forums don’t like Hog right now.

What do you think about him giving reduced ult charge? Should that stay or leave?

Even as someone who isn’t playing :laughing:

You are poking the bear, suggesting a base DMG buff for Hog. I’d be careful.

No, Hog needs something to make him a Utility for his team. While him losing the ability to move during TaB would maybe push that a bit more.

IMHO think it needs more.

Also might I add, your reasoning for this makes zero sense.

His hook inconsistency, calls for a DMG buff? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: :laughing: What?

As everyone says you’re brave for suggesting a Hog buff. I don’t think he needs this.

Hog does not need a buff in all honesty tank damage buffs need to be nerds instead and and they need to make tanks tanks that what killed the role the tank damage buffs in favor of them living

Good idea lets buff one of the most busted tanks in the game right now outside of double shield.

Its a simple tragedy that a one-trick kit like Hog’s which takes less skill than Zarya has him picked more at the top right now. They over-nerfed the skill tank and put the ez kit in play.

What were the nerfs that caused Zarya to fall? I’ve been playing only about a year but I always assumed she grew less popular mainly due to tank comps like double shield and Ball Dva becoming popular.

Also I agree it’s sad. Seeing so many high rank players play Hog so much is kinda killing the enjoyment for me.

She had her damage levels on beam nerfed and the charge decay rate increased… dumpstered her almost immediately. I am convinced they did it knowingly to observe more independent tank play with Hog, Rein, Sigma, Ball, etc. She is the “off-tank” that most heavily promotes and benefits from tank cohesion, de-emphasizing her prior to the rework in OW 2 makes it easier I think in their eyes.

I feel like is fine as he is now , although his damage should be 160 , he shouldn’t oneshot people if they are getting healed ,but other than that he is fine . “He should get immunity to sleep” tho :skull:
