I’m so tired of playing against him. It’s either people play Roadhog, or they play Mauga to counter the Hog. Either way, you just play against brainrot tanks the whole time, and then you’re forced to play brainrot tanks to counter the brainrot tanks.
Hog being strong is great, it’s forcing a fair few players off their comfort picks, also with five more heros coming, new maps, and whatever else the devs have planned, things are gonna get crazy
“Comfort picks”, you mean like every hero? Because why does an entire team have to play around a single Hog with a hook that shouldn’t even hook in the first place?
The only problem with hog is the hook headshot combo that instagibs everything squishy.
They took of the mine because of hook → instakill combo and now we are back and it’s even faster than with the mine…
You should be able to get out of that combo.
Being serious, it genuinely confuses me that people are having so much of a problem with him. There is a ton of natural cover, the healing nerf doesn’t benefit him, and poke is strong. Just play corners and bait the hook Or use a shield
That’s not even getting into all the ways your team can save you if you do get hooked.
I was forced to play tank due to the event challenges. Had to face Hog on Well, they had a Lucio to get him there faster. I just simply refused to be hooked into the hole.
If you play enough Hogs knowing when they hook is pretty predictable. I’d just pop my Zar bubble, and force him away from the well until he swapped. And he did.
Hog has nothing on a Zar that will just menacingly walk towards you.
P.S. Zar players stop looking for fat ults, just solo ult whoever is in front of you as soon as you get it. We’re not waiting for OW3 to ult anymore. It literally breaks the other teams brains.
Hogs don’t even force me off Tracer, I just simply say no thank you to getting hooked.
Not much of a Zar player and only dabbled a bit, is her knockback perk on her secondary enough to counter a well camping Hog? Was thinking maybe just firing it behind him so he falls in might be enough to zone him away from it for most of the round.
No idea, I’m only a lvl 11 Zar. lol, I didn’t even use that perk cause I wasn’t going to be playing enough to learn her jump techs. Tho it’s probably the better one if you do.
But also that was the first round so I didn’t even have a chance to get the perk before getting them to swap. Also the angle would’ve been hard to hit for that boop.
Instead of doing 162.5 damage MAX before he can now do 175 damage MAX .
What a change…
People think that something has changed with him when nothing changed but the fact that many people play him,thinking that he is OP when he’s just the same as before. Funny.
but relatively over night he’s become one of the most picked tanks, even at high ranks- and maintains a solid win rate.
I don’t feel he’s overpowered, but calling him “trash” that is easy to hard counter is equally dubious right now. The buff undeniably has a major improvement on hogs state
