Nerf Roadhogs dmg, he is a tank, not a dps

Why is a tank allowed to oneshot basically every char below 387 health?

Also his general dmg is too high for a tank.
The classes should be more clear defined, yes hybrids are ok, but roadhog is really bad at tanking… so

It has been a while since I saw a nerf Roadhog thread, even if it’s a troll thread.

Wait what ?
So basically Road can oneshot Tracer for sure, and every 200hp character (even if you really have to Combo them so it’s technically not One Shot but whatever)

For anyone above that he has to Right click (and make sure to deal enough damage to bring the target down to ~200hp) if you want the combo to work. Otherwise you just shoot your gun and, if you’re on the Orisa, yeah you can kill her really fast. But you can’t one shot her.

Ahem Zarya and D.Va deal more damage than him.

im just curious where the numbers came from…my only guess is because of a baptiste matrix

not…sure…if…serious!!!

Just for anyone who may jump on this please be aware that Roadhog actually has the lowest dps outputs of every tank.

Zarya, D.Va, Orisa, Hammond, Winston and even an Enabled Reinhardt puts out more dps then this Asthmatic, 5 shoot per clip having, massive spread, 1 million year reload tank.

What Roadhog has is burst in exactly 2 ranges. Omg he’s in my face! and the sweet spot on his alt fire that is harder to land then a perfect 10 in any Olympic sport.

you still havent told us where you got the idea that he can do 400 damage from in one shot

Did we go back in time to 2016?

he can, i got oneshot as orisa from roadhogs more then once.

Yeah, that Roadhog with his 450 HP one-shot. The humanity.

Mind explaining how then? I ask because the math simply doesn’t support your assertion.

Roadhog is the easiest tank. The forums LOVE the brain dead heroes. Hog, Junk, Mercy, Brig… they love them. You’re preaching to the wrong crowd.

No he can’t. I believe roadhog can do 300 damage at most if ALL of his shotgun pellets hit the head. Orisa has 400 HP and she has armor as well which makes the damage even lower by a huge margin.

14 pellets take down armor (175/13=14) so 1413+1118=380
with 30dmg from hook

not true

Looks at Zarya’s average damage. Looks at D’vas

if anything hog is petty under whelming for tanks :slight_smile:

not completly true, but i aggree that zarys dmg is too insane too

dude…HIS MAX DAMAGE IS 300. he cant do anymore with his gun, he literally CANNOT

With Discord, Damage Boost, Orisa ult, and Baptiste Ult? That’s like… 185% more damage. Yeah I can see that being a one shot.
