Someone tell me why Hog is bad?

“Zenyatta, Tracer, Mccree, Lucio, Baby D.va, Solider 76, Genji, Pharah, Moira, Hanzo, and Torbjorn”
Roadhog is not able to one shot Hanzo, Lucio, or Genji consistently.

Roadhog used the be the tank you picked when you wanted to deal damage and get a nice pick to give your team the advantage. In his current state, why would I pick Roadhog? When they nerfed his damage, they nerfed basically the only reason he was picked over other tanks. He can’t protect his team like other tanks can.

Roadhog & his abilities:
-Roadhogs primary weapon is inconsistent. The rng aspect of it is terrible game design.
-Roadhogs secondary fire isn’t good, but it doesn’t break the character.
-Roadhogs heal is great for healing, but it is also great at charging the enemies ultimates.
-Roadhogs hook is an okay ability now. His inconsistent primary fire taints the ability.
-Roadhogs ult, in my opinion, is one of the worst ultimates in the game. The damage is good, except it pushes your opponent out of range. With how many stuns there are in the game now, it gets cancelled very often. He gains no extra health or anything when he ults. His ult is a lame version of Winstons.

When Blizzard nerfed his damage, they gave his health a “buff”. Nerfing his damage so Roadhog is more tanky for 2 seconds is not a fair trade. If anything, it negatively impacts Roadhog.

In short, Roadhog is not good in his current state. He does very little damage and it is inconsistent, he is an ult battery for the other team, and he can’t protect his teammates. Pick another tank.

PS- Brigitte is in the game -> RIP Roadhog
