Hogs passive should be:

General Discussion

Soft belly: Enemy’s attacks charge there ult by 1/2 of normal charge.
At least something to make him viable and not an ult charging machine

Yea seriously, I have 110 hours on Hog and I cannot tell you how often people just thirst the ever living you know what out of me just for the ult charge. No one does that with any other hero, no one gets thirsted for ult like Hog does…also maybe a minor damage buff cause half the time when I hook people they still take like zero damage cause RNG pellets

50% damage reduction during his ult.

Yeah, no.

When going against someone with an easy-to-land one shot, the least I could get is some ult charge.

I’d rather them rework him than have him be a DPS that really wants to tank.

Love that. If his only ability was to use his sit emote it would be even better :heart_eyes:

If you really think that is something of a loss to hog then go ahead but I don’t anyone who plays hog wouldn’t make that trade in a heartbeat.

50% damage reduction as in, he takes 50% less damage during his ult.
Not his ult dealing 50% less damage.

Ahhh my bad I see that now, I skimmed that abit too quickly I figured you were proposing a nerf to compensate for the OP’s buff.

I still think none of these changes will put Roadhog back into the game …

they only need to revert his damage and he would be a strong character again

You know those bloated corpses that explode in Diablo 3? Have him do that when he dies. :laughing:

I think it should be called thick skin, and pretty much do the same thing. Maybe make take a breather cleanse debuffs.

Honestly, of they implement such a passive for Roadhpg I thing it has only to reduce 10% of ult feeding… Not 50%

I don’t think ultimate charge is his problem. Most tanks are ult batteries, anyway. Roadhog’s issue is that he melts easily even while using take a breather. In addition, his only use is hook, an ability that is so hard to pull off in comparison to other tanks. Moreover, his gun is unreliable. It requires specific conditions to work flawlessly, both the primary and secondary fire modes.

I suggest giving him the Bob treatment. No, I am not talking about B.O.B, I am talking about Bob, the fabulous Behemoth.

Hog fits the exact same situation Behemoth was in. He is slow and big, and doen’t have any defensive ability beside TaB. How this passive will work is that he will get damage reduction only if he is getting bursted down.

Note: this is just my initial thought, and I am not sure if it will actually fit.

Imo, as bad as his ult is. Survivability isn’t his main issue. Feeding ult is.

A permanent passive would be to much

If anything i would make it so Take a breather Ult reduction lasts 3 secs after using it

And like GoatOfLegend said, during his ult

17

Feeding is his main weakness, if you remove that weakness he becomes OP, sure he could use some buffs but he would certainly be OP with this.

18

This would be crazy lol I don’t think it’s the right idea but would love it just so ana isn’t literally the devil to play against as hog anymore, just have to worry about sleep.

And allow him to cancel his ult anytime.

I’d like to see them experiment with reducing his health and giving him an equivalent amount of damage resistance.

Same effective health, less Ult charge gained from damaging him.
