wanted to post this in one of the buff roadhog topics but since this forum wont let me here is a new topic for everyone to enjoy
while his winrate since brigitte’s release is either 47% or 48% his pickrate has declined to a new low of 3.59% which is the lowest it has been since her release(and my guess since a very long time)
it has not been this low in the past 6 months and in all ranks its declined and his winrate is usually below 50% is even more below 50% and he has not reached a 49% winrate since brigitte’s release

Too many shields and stuns on top of his unreliable damage output and paper chain.

Maybe make it so he cant be stunned out of his healing canister?

There are other heroes, that need to be looked at more than Roadhog. Hes not OP, he’s not UP. The Meta doesnt favour him. It happens. Double Snipers destroy him (assuming they actually land their shots), Brigittes Stun wrecks him, Zaryas Bubble can potentially make his hook negligible.
Amongst most ranks and the average rank, hes actually fine. Just Meta doesnt favour him.

Then what meta actually favours roadhog ?
And no ,Triple Tank doesn’t count considering blizzard is actively trying to stop it.

Quad tank, even though they tried to kill that too.

I’m a Roadhog main and yea, with Brigitte there are just too many shields and stuns in this game. The stuns counter his heal, his hook(!!!) and his ultimate - which is already pretty weak and without his heal he’s pretty trash. The stuns counter kinda Roadhog’s whole kit.
In addition to that, Roadhog deals hilariously low damage to armor - Brigitte provides a lot of armor that means Roadhog is even more trash.
I start playing Brigitte now lol

He is having the Ana syndrome at the moment.
Not bad as a hero, but the state of the game doesn’t want him.
Actually, Brigitte is the problem but yeah, we all know that more or less. She is supposed to counter dive only after all am I right ?

Playing any tank other than Orisa and possibly Zarya right now is extremely disheartening. One of the most crucial roles in the game is the least fun to play. I can’t play Hog or Hardt due to the simple fact that stunning is now a 3 second thing.
I suggest making roadhog’s hook pull slightly closer, he will become much more viable against Brigitte. Being able to pull her closer and get her to near death, so the team can follow up. Right now, headshot or not, I don’t even scrape off half health from brigitte as hog, (Right click, Hook, Left click, Melee combo)
He’s extremely weak right now and unless Brigitte’s bash is dead, then he will be weak, for a while.

Probably an Orisa x Hog meta I guess, with Junkrat and such IDK. You see it on certain maps. Cheese comps/Shield Break comps.
Rein and Zarya are the most meta and used tanks right now.
Does not change the fact that he is extremely useless against armor and only used as a meatshield to charge zarya or break rein barriers.

Okay this increase in Armor, doesnt effect just one Hero. I see too many people on here crying and whining about their beloved hero is negatively effected by Armor. Everyone is affected by it, some more worse than others. Upclose Roadhog can do decent damage against armor,better than some heroes like Ana, or Rein.
Hencewhy I said, the meta doesnt favour him. Thats all. Hes not bad. His hook is still strong and extremely underrated imo.
Exactly, I did my placements with DF instead of hog this season

thank you for all the replies glad people agree with me checking the most recent stats they just keep going down with a pickrate of 3.60%, there is nothing to indicate it wont keep falling too,

Yeah it’s weird, because a four percent pickrate and that means for less than a game, he gets picked on less than one team, math is weird.
Roadhogs win rate over last 6 month has been 49.7, for 3 months 49.3, and last month 49.3, this week is is down to 48.4. It is a bit premature to claim he win rate is going down that drastic.
His pick rate has gone from 5 to 3.9 which is pretty drastic but with a new meta not that huge and it has seen a steady decline before brig.
