the tweet also mentions changes to his gun and take a breather ability though I’m not sure why they wouldn’t detail that in the graphic

5

What kind of key will the new ability use on PC? I have no idea.

Also, another reminder that he will still be unplayable if they dont rework/nerf Ana.

So if you trigger it and you got teammates near enough to you, you damage them too?

11

No, just to some unfortunate enemies who go near him.

If it does damage to teammates, then it would probably the worst troll mechanic after LW’s pull.

Thank you for sharing it :smile:
Well this sounds interesting. But im not a Hog player so i still have to see how will he be compared to a Mauga though

No no, I mean if you are the enemy and you step in the Hog’s trap. It grabs you, does 60dmg to you, but also has an aoe of 30dmg, so the aoe dmg would hurt your teammates who didn’t step in the trap but did come close enough to be in the aoe?

14

No, only when you came into contact with the “pig pen”.

15

Thinking about it, now both members of the dynamic duo have traps.

16

Almost a year and they added one ability, ha what a joke

Now for JQ to have trap ability and we now have a trifecta of “Junkertown Trappers”.

Disappointing. As expected.

Realistically Roadhog is going to throw down his trap, hook you into it, and shoot you in the face, killing you before you regain control of your character.

Wrecking ball is a junket and had a trap ultimate
