It’s hard to judge heroes in the PTR and it can also be very hard to judge on live due to players throwing. But I am worried that the fatman is pretty deadly.
Do you feel okay getting one shot by a tank?
If you get killed by him is it just bad positioning?
Stay with your teammates. Don’t try to 1v1 the Hog now, he’s not a trash pick like the last year and a half.
He’s fine and balanced now.
considering his hitbox yes more than most oneshots in the game
Getting one-shot by a tank sucks.
Yes it punishes poor positioning but is it the supports fault if the Reinhardt turns his Shield a fraction to the left exposing the mercy for a brief second?
Is it bad positioning if the roadhog flanks behind your team and insta-kills one of your dps characters before healing up while walking away to negate any retaliation?
Hook + headshot I could just about deal with. This new change just makes hook an instant kill for any 200HP hero. It has pretty much zero counter play.
Hook = death.
So if we have to suffer with this change then I have one thing to ask:
Why not just make the hook deal 200 damage on impact. Save the theatrics behind animating it!
Do you think he is a bit too easy now?
you just can’t do what people did before with him, abuse hook line of sights, and 1v1 him, he can handle himself better like a tank should, he can still be melted if he’s out of position or uses his abilities badly.
eh not really considering y’know they’re plenty of things to break his hook LOS and it’s not that hard once you learn get a hang of baiting hooks
The average hogs I see in my games today have about 35+ Elim
And guess what, our little fat flanker is back.
The counterplay is to buy a $5 microphone, and say “Roadhog behind!”
And hope your team has one of these:
Dva
Zarya
Brig
Roadhog
Ana
Mei
Ashe
McCree
Pharah
Junkrat
Lucio
Orisa
Moira
Doomfist
Hammond
Winston
He still needs a passive that reduces ult buildup. So he can body block more.
as rein it is extremely easy to bait a hook, drop shield for a fraction of a second, then instantly pick it back up, about 80% of roadhogs will use hook during that time frame.
I am glad he’s back, I am just worried that he might not be back for long.
It makes me jealous that I have to aim at heads to get kill confirms on the most lethal DPS and a tank can just aim for the body with a corrective hit-box. What is balance even? This balance is worse than my positioning, appatently.
I think the fact that he’s still not A or S tier at high ranks should hopefully insulate him from further nerfs.
Because there’s still a lot of counterplay to it that your team can do when you get hooked?
I hope so, at my level he feels like freelo!
He feels great to play now and he isn’t frustrating to play against. Overall a really good change to hog
yeah what happened to that “too much CC” everyone has been complaining about? did it just disappear when roadhog is involved?
Eh, he was just buffed. He very well could end up there and I would argue he will, which is great so we can maybe go back to balancing him as a tank.
I mean, I got that feeling too, but I think I had a good reason for that.
