Plea - Day 1: Revert Roadhog to his older state

Oh yes for certain. It happens all the time.

Blizzard isn’t big on reverts. They tend to jack up the power of one element of a hero’s kit, then when that hero appears to be dominating everything, they then perform damage control by overnerfing one or multiple elements of a hero’s kit (especially on supports and tanks) instead of doing a simple revert to the element that was buffed in the first place.

It’s like blizzard doesn’t realize how to balance their game, and instead of stopping a water leak by replacing a broken pipe they just burn the house down and call it a day.

Hahahah lmfao, thats real, look at genji nerfs vs orisa nerfs, genji got a revert on a buff, while orisa get f every patch harder than before.

Seriously. It’s this pattern of balance that upsets players, but what does it matter when damage is the most popular role?

In the words of Jeff, “We need more vanilla ice cream!”

So we need more bland generic things ? Got it

I beg you Blizzard, Give him back 6 bullets, give him attack speed back .

Remove these nerfs. This consistency does not help when his overall damage is non existent.

I had so much fun in the last two weeks. At least keep some of that. Don’t make him dumpster tier.

The complete list of nerfs on Roadhog:

  1. His ult got nerfed. Because each bullet now does 6 instead of 7 damage.
  2. His left click got nerfed. He does 6 damage per bullet instead of 7.
  3. His right click got nerfed. He does 6 damage per bullet instead of 7.
  4. His dps got nerfed. He attacks slower than before.
  5. His overall damage got nerfed. He has 5 bullets instead of 6, means he attacks less, reload more. more downtime!

Over all he does less dps, less overall damage, on his all attacks (left, right, and ult) he has much more downtime (attacks are slower, reloads much more).

Please!!

Nope! Welcome to dumpster tier. Say hi to Orisa, Sigma, Brigitte, Moira, and Baptiste while you’re down here.

No

he’s still a solid pick and landing hooks result in kills on most squishies. just that it requires a bit more teamplay now. his damage was brought down in line with the other tanks.
Zarya needs a nerf in her energy and slightly buff Orisa and Dva, and all tanks will be balanced

Sure man, you must be right. Silly harbleu doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

The only changes roadhog needs imo, is either increase his hook damage from 30 to 40-50, or better reduce the distance at which the hook pulls targets in by 1m-2m, so that his hook+primary fire+melee combos are more reliable against 200hp targets.

Other than that he is absolutely fine. He is in a good place against tanks and shields and still maintains high survivability.

He isn’t a solid pick. He is awful
I don’t like Hog but lets not pretend he is anything other than worthless.

If he remained like how he was how do you expect other tanks to be played? He could tear them apart in a matter of seconds

Yup, you tell em. He’s in a good place. You know better than a consistently top 500 player that’s been playing Hog since 2016.

To put it simply my friend, he needs a revert back to his former 2017 state before June 20. You might disagree, but this is the best route imo.

I didn’t want him how he was (with dmg buff). Another part(s) of his kit needed nerfs, he NEEDED the damage.

Did you even read my post?
I said he needs better consistency on his hooks, so he can more reliably kill 200hp targets, but other than that he is fine i said.

I did and I disagree. Read my post. His damage is terrible and he can’t apply pressure, I don’t JUST want him to be a hook bot.

Hmmm, I don’t know…but if you keep up with this for 2 more weeks Im sure we will all come around

Mostly a by product of tanks getting nerfed into the dirt. Buff em back up, remove Hogs damage reduction and he would have been perfect.

But they chose the less optimal way and ruined Hog
