Hog needs a serious buff

General Discussion

I think he needs some of these minibuffs:

  • Scrapgun: one more clip, and rework shootguns spread pattern.
  • Take a Breather: Give him some utility besides selfsustain. For instance, let it poison nearly enemyes. By this way, he could hook + TaB if he is needed, and still he will be doing some pressure to the hooked target.
  • Hook: I would like it to break less on floor ledges, so It can be used to revenge-hook if Lucio boop you…
  • Wholehog: Allow to self/cancel, or increase the walking speed or give damage reduction. By this way, it wouldnt considered a suicide button. With selfcancel it can be used to quickly reload.

50% damage reduction after landing a hook.

Done.

I still just want to feed less.

25

I’m not roadhog player but I agree

Passive: Selfish

Roadhog gives enemies 20% less ult charge when above 50% health.

His damage isn’t good - and nobody cares about FFA, this game is a 6 versus 6 team game.

His left click spam out Dps every single tank including Zarya at 100% and dva blowing all cd…

In that case let’s nerf the snipers. They’re basically Roadhog 1.0 with incredible range.

Sniper doesn’t have the survival road hog has

31

That comment makes me think you don’t play Roadhog much.

Their survival is being pocketed and having a smooth getaway ability. They feed less and require much more teamplay to kill. If Roadhog can’t one shot with a well aimed hook on an 8 second cooldown, Snipers can’t one shot from across the map with a no cooldown gun.

33

Do you know how ridiculous his dmg was before the nerf?

Shoot hook shoot dead tank

He was a fat reaper with more burst and survival with a 1 shot mechanic and he was op and unfun to play against

34

Okay, don’t buff his left click or hook combo damage.

But do buff his right click, and make him more consistent.

35

If you want to make him consistent make his fire a hitscan

But none of straight dmg buff or more survival buff…

36

What should a Roadhog be doing between lengthy 8 second hooks (Which aren’t even guaranteed instakills).

If his right click is absolutely horrible?

37

He brawl like every other tank at close range…

38

That’s extremely limited value for a tank

  • Beyond nearly absolute pointblank his left click kinda sucks
  • His secondary is weak and nearly useless
  • Long cooldown hook
  • No mobility
  • No shielding
  • Feeds Ult charge like crazy

MAybe blizzard can rework him…

Or maybe if his role is killing things, he should be better at killing things.
