Is it just me or Roadhog is on the edge of becoming a raid boss again after the new perk, ESPECIALLY on 6v6. I am a Hog main tho maybe I’m just lucky or I’m bad against another hog main idk.

i don’t mind him tbh. When I play Reaper I get plenty of ult charge out of him for free, then I can go on to Blossom pretty quick.
Then i start to smirk as the Hog player rage swaps after being diffed so hard lol
Hog is quite strong in 6v6. Definitely not a raid boss, though, no tank is. They are pansy heroes in open.

I thought zarya was pretty dumb is 6v6?
He thrives in 6v6 for sure, especially when he as a Lucio speeding him around
Perhaps? She always gets banned. And even when she slips through, I just one versus one her as Genji. I do not care. Banning tanks is a waste if you ask me. Especially because the counters do not matter as much with your tank peeling for you. To that end, Zarya is generally the best co-tank, especially into tank busting tanks. So, yeah, she is super strong relatively speaking. Same as how Zen is relatively strong for a support in that mode. Still a free kill nevertheless.
I tried him in 5v5 comp, banning ana, orisa and maybe like soj or torb has been a godsend
Hog is pretty annoying in 6v6. They should not have kept a few 5v5 changes in 6v6, as certain issues don’t exist with 2 tanks.
Haz is similar. Guard is way too good.
If there were any 2 tank abilities that need nerfs in 6v6, it’s Breather and Spike Guard. They absolutely don’t need that level of self sustain!

There are only 2 tanks I ever vote to ban. Doom and Ball.

One thing im confused of is that in normal open queue hog has 600 hp right , even in practice range. But he has 650 in 6v6? Correct me if im wrong tho, 50hp may just be a number but its a lot for a tank imo
Ngl if the word hog is even thought of, grandma is coming out to restore order.
U can ban ana in comp, banning ana is a godsend. Dont have to in 6v6 tho, she has another target in sight lmao

There’s other important differences between the modes. For example, the tank passive that reduces headshot damage recieved is gone in 6v6, so that 50 HP isn’t as big a deal as it looks on the surface.
The new perk is good, but it doesn’t help much against his best counters like Ana and Zen so he’s still meh in 5v5.
In 6v6 I found him stronger anyway because the 2nd tank can take some of the nades and discord and if they go shield can help hog survive his counters.
But the biggest thing that has made hog stronger is hero bans. Banning Ana makes him so much more fun to play. Banning Orisa as well can make it even better, although they just go Mauga instead and you can’t have Ana so that’s a problem as Mauga > Hog without Ana.
Oh i thought this thread was about your mother getting a promotion at work

Banning ana is like a heavenly blessing, given by the Gods themselves for years of tortures bestowed upon us hig mains
He’s been my bane. Being hooked always seems to feel really oppressively and once I’m in, either a teammate saw and helps, or I die and most of the time, hog already hooked my potential help prior. Miserable to play against. Especially when that hook came from ALL the way over there. I’ve never had a team melt him
