Its a chain after all. It can bend, it can be wiggled around a pole, and it be bend around corners. Just out of curiousity, shouldnt a chain hook not lose his prey once he gets a successful hook on it?
It used to do that.
Galaxy hooks were the stuff of nightmares.

In the real world, sure. However, Overwatch is not the real world.

Because before they fixed it you would have people getting hooked even if they showed a pixel

There was a reason why it would break out of sight, considering how Hook 1.0 was broken as crap.
Here’s why.

I miss these days…
Oh my gosh, some of these hooks were hilarious
Because balance. It’s needed.
If you really want to get realistic then if he hooks you and you get stuck then it should rip your body in half. Why doesn’t it do that? Because balance. Also a little bit to do with the game rating.

Also, Genji should be able to deflect hook, so that Roadhog hooks himself and either pulls himself inside out or vanishes between dimensions.

I mean, if that’s the case then DVa should be able to absorb a hook and it’s just gone from Roadhog the rest of the match. He doesn’t get the chain hook back, BS!

I’m still angry D.Va can’t eat Doomfist.
“Rrrr… Aaagh! RAAA-” *blink!

Blizzard knows if they added an ACTUAL delete Doomfist ability, the pick rate of said hero would sky rocket to unheard of levels.

Roadhog IS the Delete Doomfist hero

look… we can have "but realistically… " problems all day.
At the end of it all the answer is always “because balance” as many people have said.
It was broken to yoink people through heavy world geometry and I’ll even go so far as to invoke the dreaded “feels” argument, it felt cruddy to see yourself be “safe” and then… YOINK.

That would make him usable. Can’t have that, he isn’t OWL friendly.

Well, it’s tough to tell since both are in the crapper right now!
In a world where Road and Doom are good picks, I don’t see Road winning over average as he has one cool down to shut him down where as Doom can do so much more.
Roadhog laughs at literally any part of DF kit.
Got Rocket punch? At worst a stun, and Hog can just heal it off
Got Uppercut combo? Tickles damage while you can Hook and Kill him immediately.
Got solo Meteor Strike? You can sit at the epic center and vape it away. The Damage resistance and Heal will make you LAUGH at the DF for even attempting to drop an ult on you.
Every Doomfist that worth his salt would NEVER approaches a Hog unless either Vape or Hook is on CD. But even then, what are you gonna do when he ults your face? DF’s hitbox is big enough that Hog’s combo would force a retreat, if not alright KILLS the DF, and if he catches you in his ult, you’ll be dead before you can do literally anything
It used to work like that. Was funny at times. Pulling people through a bus or hooking Sombra and pulling her through space and time back to you when she translocates away. Lol.
