What does he need you ask?
A damage buff and a fire-rate nerf.
Damage increased from 6.6 to 7 per pellet
Fire-rate nerfed from .85 to 1.00 second per shot
That’s it, that’s all he needs. He needs this so each shot is more lethal but the slow fire-rate counteracts that so its not too powerful.
Want some milk and cookies along for your santa wish maybe?
He can already one-shot more than half the cast. That’s not enough for you?
Sure, can you send them over. That sounds mighty good rn.
Hog are one of those tank heroes that you shouldn’t touch in the current state of the game.
But why?
Because you know how sometimes you land a good hook combo but they still get away cause the dumb game. Well to basically fix that problem.
For example, you hook mercy vertically and she proceeds to fly away due to the poor angle of your hook-combo.
Well Blizzard gave hog that 7 damage thing a while ago and it shot hog up the meta.
Cause they nerfed the other tanks too, and didn’t buff any other tank except for Roadhog.
The current tanks is even more nerfed than before.
Hook has never been this consistent with the 6.6 damage and 3m distance.
Honestly I shudder at the thought of increasing damage anywhere, anyway in the game at all.
no? They buffed the other tanks, winston has more armor, rein more damage, sigma idk, etc.
Also didn’t count the fact that hog is incredibly frustrating and opressive to deal with but not saying he’s op, he just doesn’t need a buff.
As one of the most staunch Roadhog supporters on this forum. Hog is fine.
He’s right in that comfortable zone of “Fun, not throwing, but in no danger of emergency nerfs because of some sort of OWL/GM meta”
Oh also they reduce the distance too.
Ok fine, make distance 3.5 again, but more damage cause it’s better in general (outside of hook and with hook)
I have over 230+ hours on hog and I know he doesn’t need a buff.
That’s unnecessary, you’re trying to fix a problem that doesn’t even exist.
Rein had 550 HP in the Giga Hog meta. Now 500.
Sigma has 2s CD on shield rather than 1s.
Winston has extra 50 armor which does something between Jack and crap.
Zarya is nerfed twice.
Orisa and Dva were buffed, that is true.
Oh Wrecking Ball is nerfed too. 2 nerfs.
It’s not necessary but its nice quality of life change.
You do realise i’m nerfing his fire-rate too right? So that means time to kill tanks is lower.
