Plea - Day 1: Revert Roadhog to his older state

General Discussion
61

Roadhog isn’t that bad.

62

It took 2 years to revert the Jjonak Zen Alt Fire nerf, goodluck Hog mains.

63

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.
  6. He can 1 shot 200 more consistently, rejoice friends! It’s like he couldn’t do that before. Now you need less skill to do it, that’s it.

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).

You need to write to Jeff for that. Pretty sure they changed the dev team. Recent changes have no balance consideration.

65

For some reason I read sticks as cyx.

Do agree hog needs reverts.

Welcome to the Overwatch, :roll_eyes: pls revert D.Va defensive matrix too as you go that route.

Roadhog isn’t bad, just gg

68

He was dumpster tier before and he will always be either op or trash, just gotta accept it

69

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.

Are you kidding? He’s a tank. Tanks aren’t allowed to be good unless they’re Rein/Zarya.

Yes, he does less damage like a TANK should.

This is just my anecdotal comment but I’ve been watching some gm/top 500 streamers all day today and yesterday and Hogs still being used quite extensively. I don’t know if he’s that bad or if he’s still better than people think. I’ve also been doing alright with him in my own games, granted I have hundreds of hours of hog play before the changes so getting one hook off with the improved spread works out for me to secure a kill anyway.

I don’t think tanking and damage are necessarily exclusive things, particularly in this game, but people have set definitions of similar roles from experiences in other games and tend to want to move to their preferred direction. I played a lot of MMOs where tanks could also do just as much damage as some ranged/magic/melee type roles or abilities although its generally AoE damage or spammable close range output versus higher single target style output.

They need to nerf Zarya (charge decay) and Ana (antinade) and he’ll be fine.

Let me guess, supports shouldn’t be allowed to damage people in your mind because they’re HEALERS

Your guess is wrong. Support heroes shouldn’t output more damage than all dps heroes which was the case for Hog

76

Explain Zenyatta then. Explain DPS moira then. Come on, educate us.

77

He’ll still feel like trash to play. Literally cant even play the hero. He’s just a hook bot.

78

Neither of those have one shot capabilities that are hard locked

79

Ever got one shot by zen’s right click?

That’s exactly how it should be. But they’re also not allowed to heal anymore either so…
