I’m done talking with you, you don’t even realize what you are saying let alone what I’m saying.
Let me know when you realize how you contradicted yourself.
I’m not a good teacher.

I don’t understand. I think you misread my posts
Since you asked nicely, I’ll show you how you contradicted yourself.
Not using it means his ult is useless more often than not, and either:
A. It needs to be way more punishing.
or
B. It needs a rework to account for all the CC mechanics.
Contrary to what people think Roadhog is the most punished by this new meta out of any characters, because everything he does is channeled, (Hook, Heal, WholeHog)
all of which can be interrupted by MOST CC’s in the game.
I’m not asking to bring his 1 shot back, or his 6 second hook.
I’m asking to buff his ult to make it way more punishing before people have a chance to interrupt it.
Ive actually been thinking about that for awhile, and I think I am going to make a large separate post about it sometime in the near future. But mobility has been the best tool in overwatch since the games inception, when it comes to multiplayer games everything around balance comes to questions and answers. Mobility didnt really have an answer besides more mobility, this isnt restricted to the dive meta but that meta is a good example of my point.
I think the important thing to note is all the CC is a huge shift in the paradigm in this game whee mobility is no long the answer to literally everything, and in my mind thats okay because we now have a 50/50 stalemate where you can run mobility half the time instead of ALL of the time (which comparatively makes it feel like its oppressive because now you need to play smarter, not faster.)
That said, back to my point on Hog.
Note how I layed out my last post, I said I used to be able to just run into the middle of the team and split them up. This was poor, lazy and easy play on my part. All the CC’, while kind of annoying at times has forced me to use smarter, more complex tactics while using Hog. What i’d complain about hog now though is that he seems to be a better reaper now so I’d like to see Reaper be given something to make him more unique (not a buff necessarily but yknow, something. Maybe its time for that smoke screen.)
So with the question of mobility finally answered, non mobility heroes have to play a lot smarter around the CC, thus why i imagine they gave a range buff too. The only hero I feel like absolutely cannot survive in this enviroment is … again… Reinhardt, who needs to be looking at or GIVEN tools visa vie a buff OR new supporting style heroes to enable him to do his job besides brigette because that just opens up mirror matches… which is boring imo.
I’d like to read your suggestions.
Not because it’s not punishing enough, but he loses all of his utility.
While making it more punishing damage wise could be a solution, making it all-around better would be better.
Example, having damage reduction or knock-back immunity during it.
Now you are making sense.
I agree however or whatever is necessary, just everything in his kit gets destroyed by the current meta, and he needs some fine tuning one way or another.
Buff for what? he counters hammond pretty well now. He will get some use if hammond becomes meta.
Sombra is better at countering hamond. She’s also not an Ult battery like Roadhog.

Only thing is, even if he did counter hammond his major issues won’t just disappear. He is still highly inconsistent and other heroes can counter hammond better.

But playing sombra is like playing 5vs6
Exactly, it doesn’t change the fact his kit is a disadvantage in this meta with all the CC’s.
No no, I seen a pro do it, she’s fine, just ask anyone on the forums.
/sarcasm
While I agree with you, it doesn’t change the fact she hard counters Hammond better than any other character.
I agree, I think Rein is in a really bad spot atm. But Zarya is kind of the same, unless both teams play brawly.
Turns out Sombra is actually pretty strong atm.
Rein isn’t in a bad spot, he will be part of the meta shift.
He’s actually amazing in this current meta.
He hard counters Brig at close range if he has heal support (Hello Ana!)
Bugs aside of course.
Strong only for OWL and super coordinated teams.
Strong for gold, plat, and diamond too.
Go look at my profile Hana.
You’ll see why I know she can hard counter hammond, because I’ve done it countless times.

NO MORE REWORKS for the love of god reworks are killing this game
I’ve personally had quite a bit of use out of Sombra, you just need to be able to coordinate with your time. Ie YOU need to watch for THEIR initiations and pop a back liner before anyone knows whats what. Where pros will use here as the scout, and you can do that, you can alternatively watch for your team to start and then as soon as they do, you’re already in their back line so you go to town.

If there’s one character that needs one, Roadhog is it.
You got your reworked Symmetra now go enjoy being meta, while Sombra sits at 0.6%
