Alright, let’s say they make his hook do 0 damage so it’s just 120 from the shot and the 30 from the melee. How much of the shot needs to be a headshot? If you make his bodyshot damage more than 85 then he would still be able to kill with a full headshot, and making it 84 would require ~43% of the pellets to be headshots. Even making it so he does 120 bodyshot would decimate him without a compensation buff.
There’s literally no way for this to be true unless you make it so shooting after hooking deals a set amount of damage instead of firing a normal shot. Even then, “most Hogs” regularly hook someone without landing a shot beforehand so it would still affect them.
I would like if not every salty Genji/Moira main who accidentally got caught and shredded by a lucky RH would need to spill all their rage about one of the worst heroes atm.
The amount of tracer, genji and moira tears is unfathomable.
Roadhog needs a buff. Not a nerf.
And by the way? At what elo are you even playing to encounter one atm.
I havnt seen many RH in the last weeks since Sigma went online.
He is a a dying breed.
??? Entitled here would imply I’m a Hog or tank main. I’m neither. I just accurately remember when his hook combo was nerfed and he became an absolute troll pick.
Sure, just give Hog 1000 hp that grants zero ult charge to enemies and buff the vape to healing 500 of it. Oh, and outside sources of healing get a 40% boost when used on Hog.
Unfortunately, the only thing going for hog is his hook.
Like don’t get me wrong. I’ve hated this hero since the first time I got hooked around a wall in the 1.0 times.
But like what does a hog do when his hook is on cool down? Feed. He feeds, waits a few seconds, and then gets a kill. Taking away the only thing that makes the hero useful in any way will make him a troll hero.
In my opinion, hog is just a poorly designed hero. If you’re killed by a hog, no matter how much you were feeding and deserved it, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. He needs a rework, to make him less annoying and still playable.
Why? Is it because you don’t getting insta-killed by a tank? His hook-combo is the only utility he has and is the main method he uses to make space. Take that away and you get a tank that feeds harder than others, a fair cc ability, and lack luster damage.
Imo Hog should do the most damage compared to other tanks, he has the least utility compared to other off-tanks and feeds more than any of them. He doesn’t need a damage nerf.
Brig did much less with her stun and that got nerfed to all hell
no one ever said “Respect Brigitte’s space”
Hog shouldn’t get a free pass on a OHKO combo that has so little counterplay it’s unreal
Was in a hurry, “You” was meant as an all encompassing pronoun here, not necessarily you as in “sk3wlbus” but you as in anyone who complained when Hog couldn’t instagib anyone he hooked. Along that train of thought, anyone as in who was 200hp or lower who simply existed in a match.
Regardless, his pickrate on average didn’t dip into “troll pick territory”, just “not used as much because he’s no longer a sure way of getting insta-kills” territory if that makes sense.
I dunno, take damage away from hook, the dude does too much as it is. He doesn’t need to instakill anyone 200hp or below his hook touches
I would say give his hook a period where he can’t attack afterwards
or even better for balance, make it so it doesn’t stun but goes by the same rules as Grav/Flux i.e Orisa can cancel it with Fortify, Moira can fade away, Reaper can Wraith away yet Tracer can’t Recall away and Sombra can’t translocate away
other heroes won’t be effected as much but the lack of a stun allows for more counterplay by all heroes while still retaining a lot of his hooks power
this sounds like something blizzard would do anyway. nerf hog despite him not being in the meta and taking a while to finally getting to orisa and sigma
So he should literally be an ult battery.
New skin Duracell D battery.
His ONLY threat is that hook otherwise he’s spam so no I don’t think this should ever be a thing.
Maybe they should change his animation too with the nerf YOUR proposing. After he hooks you he should kiss you and let you go on your way.
