Haha no we can’t.
Hog is a threat tank. You take away the threat, the severe threat, and he can no longer do his job.

What one shot ability? His hook, shoot, melee combo isn’t even all THAT reliable anymore. It ends up requiring a little luck and to that THREE STEP combo I say, if you know a hog is around, stay close to a pillar…just don’t get hooked.
As for M2, well that is insanely hard to land PERFECTLY to obliterate someone. I would definitely say FAR more difficult than a widow head shot or DF M2…so…yeah…
RH is just fine.

I think this one is my favorite. How can someone write that and not go “Wait a minute I might be the problem here”.
To be clear, the bit in “” is the topic title, the bit in () is my summary of the topic since it wasn’t obvious from the title it was about Hog, and all about Hog and how he alone lost Egryn 700SR - no, not Egryn’s fault in any way.

understandable but from the other titles it wouldnt surprise me if that would of been an actual post by this person
Hes average at best right now, he doesn’t need it removed or nerfed at all considering how much counterplay he has.
Egryn was (still is?) a doom main. He wants all heroes that counter doom removed (rather than he improve at doom or switch when he is hard-countered). Primarily he is unhappy about hog and genji.
I met him once in skirmish when I happened to be playing Hog and he playing Doom. He basically landed in front of me, I hooked and killed him, he came back from spawn and again landed right in front of me, I hooked and killed him. He then stayed in spawn. At that moment I realised Hog is not the problem! Unfortunately Egryn will never accept that and keep trolling these forums with his garbage posts about hog and genji, mixed with some other troll posts like allowing Widow to 1-shot all tanks or remove all tanks from the game.
Luckily he has muted me, along with anyone else that has replied to his posts pointing out how sad they are. I suspect he is about 12 or 13 from his behaviour.

I dont care how hogs “one” shot works, its too easy, and happens all the time. whatever changed blizzard made months ago made his one shot combo much easier to pull off, more frequent.
riens charge is not the same. it can be interrupted in multiple ways

They gave him 16 more damage for his primary fire - not a lot but certainly helped. Most of the time you escape the 1-shot you get killed with a 2nd shot, unless you have a stun or escape ability, or by Hog’s teammates - that was the same before the buff too.
Hook is one of the easiest to interrupt or avoid abilities where the ability is a key part of a hero’s kit - as is breather which is why Hog is generally not a great choice (along with feeding from his massive hitbox). Hook is also on an 8s cooldown - consider widow can attempt a crit shot every 1.2s or less (can’t remember exactly) and is countered the same way as hog - don’t get LoS - and hog has a 21m range compared to Widow’s Narnia range.
I don’t like being hooked, and I do think the hook should be shortened to 17 or 18m, but it’s not oppressive at all compared to other heroes. I’d much rather face a Hog who I can see than a Doom flying in from somewhere, landing somewhere near me and uppercutting without anything I can do. I’d much rather face Hog than Widow or Zarya or many other heroes. He’s way down the list of problems.
Hogs hook can be interupted in more ways than charge. Hell it interupts itself quite often.

Without hook Hog has nothing, he would not even be a good DPS.
I do agree that tanks shouldn’t be able to one shot but then you’re basically removing the majority of his kit. Roadhog really just needs to become a DPS for OW2.
No , I completely disagree.
and it’s not like press one button and gets a one shot , it’s between 2 to 5 moves , Hook + M1 to M2 + Hook + walk forward + M1 + melee .
removing it will make Hog garbage and not needed to be played at all .
Hogs hooks isnt the only thing thats broken
his ult has unlimited range,
his healing is op
he’s one of the easiest hero to get environmental kills
very difficult to kill in 4v4
are you really complaining about hogs ult? one of the most useless ults in the game
This comment needs to be taken very seriously, Roadhog is like the smoko break for most Tank players.
No, that would be Pharah. Hog can ult from half the map away and knock off 3 players. Or deny access to point in OT.
First, we all definitely cannot agree upon that.
Second, hook combo is not a one shot and there is a lot of counter play.
what’s the counter? it stuns you and then he kills you. if you’re 200 hp you are dead unless you’re getting healed, bubbled, or have enough HP to survive. He’s hook is pretty fast too so takes good reaction from your team to counter.
