Jokes on you this situation is the Junk mains master plan to make everyone hate Pharah so she gets nerfed into irrelevance once and for all.
You can’t out crazy the Junk mains.

I’ve been getting oneshot combo’d as 275 health heroes without his pigpen
It’s actually insane his gun is definitely lethal? If I remember to clip it next time I’ll get one. Had it happen on both Cassidy and Sym, and have also been one shot as Ashe. (surprise surprise they have huge head hitboxes)
Even if you’re not getting one shot as a squishy, say the Hog somehow can’t headshot melee you from 3metres away you’re mostly likely dead anyways. You get displaced by up to 20m and he still chunks your health. With pigpen? Forget about living it’s a guaranteed unavoidable burst combo (which is ok I guess he invests two cd’s) but still feels like crap getting “oneshot” by a tank with triple the health pool

all i do is drag people into a corner and body block them so even if i dont kill them someone will
Doesnt everybody just love when people title their threads like
This noob is an avid roadhog hater. Pay him no mind he’s obviously trolling. There’s no way he’s struggling with the most easy to counter tank with the hitbox the size of Jupiter

What about if the hooked target wasn’t turned to face hog? One issue is that the hook makes the target’s crit box be in front of hog. But what if you arrived in the direction you were facing when hooked? Might be a little confusing for the target though, but if you see you are about to get hooked you could quickly turn and make it less likely hog lands crits.
Would need some way that you know it was hook that pulled you instead of your own LW pull though.

I personally think 5v5 is a better format for the more aggressive, self-sufficient tanks that offer less defense to their team.
As bad as I am with him, Roadhog of OW2 Season 1 was perfectly balanced–a genuine threat, yet very counterable–but he was also weak compared to the other tanks that have more utility.
On a sidenote: I want to play Rein super-aggressively but that playstyle is punished very fast by CC counterpicks and even playing corners isn’t enough; same way that Junkerqueen is punished very fast by imperfectly executed aggression.
Roadhog doesn’t allow the margin of error that lets bad players get away with disprespecting other tanks because his entire design is to punish people who don’t respect the range and availability of hook.
Therfor, he is “badly designed” because something something “there is no way to prevent this” says the only players that this regularly happens to.
If hog only punished bad players he would never be meta. Istg hog enjoyers somehow think hog is meta in gm because gm players are trash don’t know how to avoid hook and can’t play hog counters
Take a breather still remains one of the most broken overpowered abilities in the game. -10% damage reduction still isn’t enough to balance it.
Yeah because the reality of the situation is that Roadhog wants to put himself in whatever position makes yours bad- Because high level play isn’t about waiting around for your opponent to make a mistake you can passively react to.
Someone is always going to be “The Best” at the highest level because that’s just how competitive gaming works- that’s why professional overwatch has always been 95% mirrors.
Why is it any better or worse that it’s roadhog instead instead of someone else? Because a youtuber said Reinhardt is the bestest most funnest most skillyful and healthfulest tanky in the gamey?
Because hog orisa and Mauga restrict more gameplay options than any of the other tanks. High rank tank mains complain about those 3 for a reason
The best heroes in Current Patch always have the fewest options to be dealt with and (vice-versa). That’s why they’re the best.
