I think it depends on the matches, it can go the other way too. In certain situations, I would sometimes pick Roadhog because when I was on a shield tank for a good chunk of the game, the team isn’t doing much anyway and still feeding ultimate charges, not utilizing shields, or working with the tank, and I find changing to him could help gain some progress if I’m successful with getting some picks.
When I notice there is no tank while I’m on dps or support I also change the way I play. Sometimes the strategy, the positioning, the hero pick, I put that into consideration to survive and engage the enemy. Like having dive tanks vs shield tanks, you can’t or at least shouldn’t play the other roles the same way (usually anyway). So, in that same sense, when it’s Roadhog on my team I also change to work around that.

Sushi is well known to crush anyone in an argument. I try to stay clear of being his target.
Thought the same thing but months of mandatory Roadhog every game has wore me down. Throw double shield at me, idc anymore. Anything to get this fat DPS out of my games.
I agree that Roadhog’s on a rather… sensible position in terms of balance, but dude you literally just got luck-killed, that’s all
Roadhog’s secondary fire has a point in which all of the pellets exist and all deal damage, but they haven’t yet spread out. That sweet spot is absolutely devastating because, if all pellets hit you as headshot, it can deal up to 330 HP. It’s literally Roadhog’s primary fire, but with a range offset of 8 meters. Between 8 and 12~ meters, if that secondary fire hits your head you’re as good as dead.
Hog is not op, he’s easy to bait, cancel healing and outrange. Realistically you can only hook once every 8 seconds and you have to be one out of 6 teammates to get hooked, provided he doesn’t miss or get his hook baited. Also need to be using this hook at the dot every time his cooldown comes off, to maximize the times he can hook and therefore maximize the chances you have to get hooked chances to actually get hooked per minute or actually pretty low and considering every match match last about 15 minutes there’s not that many opportunities possible for you to get hooked especially if you’re being careful. I’ll get hooked like maybe once per match 3 if the hog is really good or I’m careless.
Sooooooo, you created this whole whining thread based on a thought???
Really?
Or maybe you’re using emojis because you are mad

Wdym a thought he one tapped me on about 230-250ish health he did 93% damage on the elimination from the replay I didnt want to calculate it but he did exactls 232.5 damage since that is 93% of 250
I hope charecter bans become a thing so I can try to ban him every game. Hes not fun to play against, and not fun to have on your team. Hog does great with heals, yet flank hog is all I every see, he promotes poor teamplay. Which is garbage for this game.
