what in the actual (profanity) is this?!

Might as well delete “Roadhog” and make a new tank hero at that point.

I thought it was a “soft rework”, not an overall rehaul

This has to be fake

before we have hog players go insane, lets take leaks like this with a grain of salt until we see more evidence or the actual patchnotes are released.

And I thought the Orisa rework was extreme.
I highly doubt this is real, though.

Looks like Winston without a shield :stuck_out_tongue:

They said they would remove his one shot, that alone will require more changes to him than just a “soft-rework”

Don’t worry, they’ll bring his old kit back on a new hero and call it an original concept. :joy: :sob:
(But seriously, I would take this leat with a mountain of salt. Who the hell leaks stuff on Tiktok?!)

I don’t buy it, but here’s the transcription for anyone who wants it:

  • Head hit volume size decreased by 12%.

Scrap Gun

  • Roadhog’s primary weapon remains unchanged, but it now has two firing modes: a single shot mode and a burst mode. The burst mode fires three shots in quick succession, but has a longer reload time and a slightly reduced accuracy.

Chain Toss

  • Roadhog throws his chain at a target location, dealing damage to any enemies caught in the area of effect. The chain then returns to Roadhog, pulling him towards the location it landed.

Junkstorm

  • Roadhog unleashes a whirlwind of junk, damaging and knocking back any enemies caught in the storm. He can move while using this ability, but his movement speed is slowed.

Hog Wild

  • Roadhog’s ultimate ability is now called “Hog Wild” and allows him to temporarily transform into a giant, unstoppable hog. While in this form, Roadhog’s movement speed is increased and he can charge through enemy players, dealing massive damage and knockback to anyone he hits.

Developer comments: These revised abilities give Roadhog more mobility and control over his positioning in fights, while still maintaining his role as a tanky, front-line hero. The chain toss ability allows him to quickly close the distance on enemies or reposition himself, while the Junkstorm ability allows him to disrupt enemy teams and create openings for his allies.

Whirlwind of junk sounds like a junker queen ability.

I mean, they did that with Orisa, so maybe? I’m commenting this before I’ve read it though, give me a sec.

Edit; Ok, WTF? So he’s a Morbidly Obese Widowmaker, with a Baptiste Secondary-Fire, a Mini Rampage and a Primal Rage?

Honestly turning roadhog into a wind elemental trash man sounds as nonsensical as giving the protective robot Orisa a Javelin which would kill so many criminals if ever put into use, so yeah I believe it

Can’t wait for someone else to make another thread about this “leak”.

Blizzard has never written patch notes for Overwatch like this.

Honestly, I hope this isn’t real. Doesn’t seem like it does what they want it do - it sounds horrible for the enemies while being simultaneously horrible for his players lol.

Seems fake. In a interview right before X-Mas they said it wasn’t going to be a complete rework. That’s practically a new hero.
