Everytime I play against Roadhog, I am stunned when hooked and I die.
Everytime I play as Roadhog, Moira fades away after hook or they just run away.
What am I doing wrong???
too easy even bronze 5 player can do it, that’s why they nerfed it into oblivion
I am bronze-5 tank. So apparently it isn’t. Thanks for the clarification. 
just checked your profile, apparently you’re bronze 6 player. I myself as bronze 5 player definitely could tell the difference between bronze 5 and 6.

Um…hook the target. Aim for the head. Follow with melee button after the shot.
Idk man…its pretty easy.
Some pointers to do this combo.
-Soften the target before tossing hook. You really want to hook weakened targets as hook right now is best used to secure weak kills.
-Always aim for the head. Once the chain snags you should be adjusting your aim, SLIGHTLY. Panic or flicking your camera drastically will throw your cursor way off course. Keep in mind more pellets that hit means more damage, so for tanks you can probably get more value aiming for the body. As slimmer tagets will miss more pellets if the head is your goal. So think quickly.
-Always follow with a melee right after. You can do this by timing it with the animation as I do, or holding it as you fire to conduct a melee as soon as the melee animation ends. The melee is to top off the target with some damage or finish off that small sliver to secure a pick.
-Think carefully about your hook target. You do not want to hook in targets that are full health non-200 HP heros. You’ll be wasting your time as Mei/Reaper/Brig/Bastion can retaliate and punish you hard after the combo ends. Those targets need to be softened before you hook them always. The only exception is Torbjorn, as his head is drastically much bigger and the clumped up hitbox allows for easier headshots.
-An advance technique is flicking your view to your left or the right of you then bodyblocking your hooked prey as to trap them the best as you can. This requires more prediction to adjust your aim. The hooked prey can only, at most, be tugged to your direct left or right. There is a timing for it which is right before you tug the prey as hook snags.
-Then the number one thing for hook improvement is PATIENCE! Hook is a very important skill and obviously every enemy who sees Roadhog will always be trying to avoid your hook ability. So anticipate their movements and wait for the right lineup of cursor and target to max your value off hook. Remember that a missed hook goes on a pretty substantial cooldown timer. The more hooks you miss the bolder the enemy will get. Some will wait out hook and rush you when they know you no longer have hook. But when you do get a proper hook combo pick off, that is one less person to fight and the enemy will start to fear you more.

It’s pretty much the same as it used to be but instead of hook, headshot, melee
it’s bodyshot, hook, headshot, melee.

Yeah, I noticed I was only able to do it to targets with low health.
Thanks, that’s good stuff.
I’ll try holding ‘V’ down.
Oh, didn’t know that.
Yeah, I noticed that.
Thanks for the advice.
Noted.
I’m gonna try that too on the receiving end of hook. Thanks.
probably because the road shoots + hook+ step forward + shoot + melee
if no supports prevents that tough (low chances)
Hog no longer has a gaurunteed kill combo on hook. Anyone telling you otherwise is incorrect. With pinpoint timing on jumping forward for EXACTLY the right amount of time before shooting, you can get it to be about 60% accurate, but that requires nailing a timing that even a milisecond off will kill. And that’s just for about a 60% chance of killing the target.

The better advice is to force movement, then hook if you want to guarantee your pick on a mobile hero.
Or just pick off someone else. I get wanting to kill the murder gremlin, she is an absolute menace, but she can’t rez.
You can also try this final tip.
Have a good team. Some will say this one is impossible for you to control. They have no faith.

Hog only kills me when hooked if the team focuses on hooked targets, you can’t kill most hook targets if they are not topped of which is why he is seldom played anymore
