Hog was overnerfed

General Discussion

I agree that Hog was slightly OP with the dmg buff.

But with the new nerf, he is even worse than he was before the buff because of the ammo and fire rate nerf staying in the game.

Why not just revert to his previous state where no one was complaining?
He is now going to have a worse pick rate than he did before.

Was it because other tanks and dmg characters were nerfed? What do the developers hope to achieve?

The shotgun pattern buff doesn’t seem significantly more consistent.

(This is about the new experimental card released today (09/04))

I honestly have no idea how these devs think and come to conclusion

Have you tried the experimental card? Apparently it should allow him to keep the consistency of his hook combo on 80% of the roster without 2 shotting tanks. If you want other tanks to be good…that sounds like a perfect middleground

Literally on both teams in every GM game is not ‘slightly OP’

Because they are nerfing many things in general.

He isn’t/wasn’t OP. All other tanks are horrible and thus he is a tank who finds value with less barriers and has the self sustain to survive the 1-shot sniper heros who dominate the meta without barriers to prevent their value.

But you’re… gold. How about you stop spreading nonsense?

Rank-shaming when you have no counter-argument and a private profile?

I had some semblance of hope that they were finally going the right direction with his buffs, only to make me realize that they clearly have no clue what they’re doing in this expiermental

there was some hope…but yea its not good :stuck_out_tongue: they could do so much with roadhog and for some reason that is the direction they are going with

Being on gold doesn’t make him wrong. If it’s nonsense then you should have no problem justifying your argument.

They could fix Hog by changing things that counter him.

should be nerfed more. No tank should 1 shot.

So you prove my point. Thanks. Easy enough for me.

You have to actually make a point in order for anyone to prove it

I was calling for Hog nerf’s like crazy but I kind of agree this was not the right nerf. I would have preferred they nerf the cooldown on take a breather. 8 sec is too low and it is just hard to really get through all that HP when he’s also getting most of the support from his own healers. Keep the damage, less healing. Supports used to kind of leave Hog on his own before but now he is like a main tank so he’s getting all the resources put into him from the supports and has his own 300 hp heal.

Get this. Roadhog wasn’t OP. Shields were UP.

I’m sorry I must have missed the part where you made one.

What you said would be saying something like someone being bronze saying > “I’m bronze, please make GOATS go away! It’s everywhere in GM!”

You probably still don’t understand it because logic isn’t your strong suit. But it’s fine, I’ve met plenty people of your kind.

Unless you’re Ana, apparently.
