Roadhog Fan Club

Hello fellow Roadhog mains and welcome to the Roadhog Fan Club! I’ve been seeing these types of threads pop up on the forums and I wanted to make one for our favorite fat criminal. Here you can discuss Roadhog in any way you want. What you like about him, what you dislike about him, maybe something you would change about him? It’s up to you.

I like Roadhog because he is probably the most fun tank in the game and it feels rewarding when you are playing well as him. Why do you guys like him?

His lore, his skins, his character design; I think I could rate him 2nd or 3rd in my overall favorites. He’s funny in a sinister way, complimenting Junkrat’s louder vibe.
The silly things Hook occasionally does in game, too, make it quite worth playing even now.

I love roadhog. I used to :fire: HATE :fire: him, but now I know he’s cool. :sunglasses:

I agree about him being funny in a sinister way. In the lore he’s this worldwide criminal who got turned into a heartless murderer after his home got messed up, but it’s hard not to think of him as a funny fat guy

I’m no Hog main but Hog is always my #2-3. I don’t think I could be a tank main if I didn’t have Hog to fall back on when no one is peeling that Reaper, or our dps couldn’t find a kill if it lined themselves in their crosshairs and froze in place.

He’s the answer to so many problems. An amazing stress relief for me as a tank player.

I actually became a WB main because he gave me the same feeling Hog did but was a far more viable tank in comp at the time.

I would have never believed you if you woulda told me Hog would be meta without being reliant on the Pulled Pork. It’s sad as it is amusing (since his strength is more due to barrier tanks weakness)

Anyway, long live Hog!

I love how easy it would have been to make him a dumb brute in a mask, but he actually has a lot of personality and a surprising tear-jerker of a backstory. In fact, between him and Junkrat, he’s probably the one who thinks ahead and winds up pulling his spaztastic buddy out of trouble more often.

There is truth in that, absolutely. Especially the part you mentioned about him thinking ahead more than Junkrat.

In the animated short, The Plan, he extinguishes the fuse like five times because Junkrat forgot to consider they needed an escape plan lol

Y’all are great. Also poised to headshot Egryn when he comes in. :slight_smile:

In a game-sense of course.

On a somewhat related note, what would y’all say to Junker skins for every hero (including an upgraded one for D.Va, because Hammond’s blows her away)?

You could say I’ve put a bit of thought into Roadhog.

Chain Hook Targets are now pulled to a location 3.0 meters away, down from 3.5 meters.

If the rein buffs go through he’s gonna need a faster fire rate again
