Seriously. Roadhog can’t kill anything reliably, can’t provide anything for his team (infact he provides for the enemy team if anything with how much he feeds), and is just useless.
Revert his gun, or fix it so it can deal consistent damage. Hog right now, just… can’t do anything of worth, nothing he does right now makes up for his negatives as they did before. If you are legitimately not reworking him as you so claim, then whatever change is being made had better fix his inability to reliably kill people. Roadhog has the same issue bastion has right now. Traded offensive capability for defensive, meaning he can take a lot of damage, but can’t do any meaningful damage himself, so all he does is feed ult charge.
Please. Just fix him. His inability to deal good damage has left him useless.
Outside of his combo, his gun was designed to be a lot weaker. By nerfing it in his combo, it is nigh upon useless outside of it.
Them nerfing his gun with no compensation to reliability in the same way that they infact made bastion even LESS reliable, has made him useless. It’s as simple as that.
All I have to say is that, after waiting about 15 months to see the impacts of the changes, I can conclude this with certainty that any version of roadhog that can’t combo people reliably, is useless, will always be useless, and will feed way too much for it to be worth picking him.
Blizzard’s reluctance to have roadhog’s hook combo be good or by proxy be good by buffing his gun’s reliability, will and has led the character to ruin.
There are invariably present issues with hog right now regarding his spread in relation to the damage he deals. His effective range for securing a kill has been significantly reduced.
His pickrate is 1/4th of what it used to be in grandmaster as of this week.
