He’s the worst tank by far and maybe even the worst hero. The only buff he got was a 25% reduction in headshot damage. But he received like 5 direct nerfs to his survivability. And the armour change basically kills him now. He does only half damage against armour which most tanks have. I don’t see why there would be any reason to pick him.

The reality is they cannot buff him because he is a noob stomper. People do not understand his counterplay, somehow. After the rework that made his gameplay loop more conditional, it STILL did not help the people who struggle with Roadhog. He is a lost cause. You pick him just to slight your supports and then get anti off cooldown anyways resulting in less healing than if you just dealt with your Helen Keller supports on a real tank.

Increase take a breather damage resistance from 40 to 45% maybe. I wouldn’t touch his damage or cooldowns though, just find a middle ground for his survivability.

They should buff his hp or take a breather
For the same reason that Sombra isn’t, they want to keep certain heroes down so that less people play them. Many players don’t like playing against them.

You shouldnt, let him stay in the trash and let the match be fun for once

Yep, after playing Ow since last season I immediately noticed how weaker he was compared to Zarya, Rein, Rammatra and others.
He takes much more damage and can’t do that much vs other tanks.
Global depression rates rise whenever he gets buffed

They will buff his take a breather again, the community will complain again, it will get nerfed again, those SAME PEOPLE will complain he is weak, rinse. and. repeat.
It’s so funny how one month the ability is broken and he takes 0 damage, and the next month he is the weakest tank and the ability needs a buff. The devs are incompetent enough as is, the community needs to make their mind up.
Some tanks can’t involve themselves in the 1v1 kaiju battles. Those tanks need to avoid the enemy tank, and pick squishier targets. Hog is one of those heroes.
Hog is a victim of his design. Much like Mauga, he is very binary in nature. He’s balanced around high amounts of self-healing and a potential oneshot combo. If he becomes strong, the game becomes incredibly frustrating to play and we run into stuff like Ana/Orisa metas. His rework should have given him some kind of utility to help with shifting his power as a tank.
In short, he needs another soft rework or he’s always going to be C-tier or on the nerf list.

Because he doesn’t need a buff.

I thought the recent dev blog addressed this pretty well. He crossed the 50% win rate threshhold and they deem that unacceptable due to player feedback.
My guess is they want his win rate to be in the low 40%. Big Chads will always play him and technically he is always viable if a 1 shot combo is possible.
The few times the average joe could pick up Hog and get value in ranked, we see outrage, protests, and streamers deeming him S tier.
Fact is the only time hes ever been “broken” was when his hook didn’t require LOS and the average player has no idea what I’m taking about because they didn’t play Ow1.
hes stil op as heck he DOES NOT need to be buffed heck ive seen today since the hacked stuff that hog is nearly unkillable again

beucase he is another trash hero design. feels terrible to play against hog… forced to pick ana or reaper.
Because he craps on low rank players and sucks to play against at any rank.

Hog just isn’t allowed to be good, at least he is useable if you know how to use him properly. The only buff i would want for him is for them to revert the resource regeneration rate back to 10 seconds, 12.5 seconds feels way too slow, isn’t that why they buffed it in the first place when the rework came out? It was 12 seconds and they found that to be too slow and buffed it to 10 seconds, now its 12.5 seconds, make it make sense 
.
Well when he was buffed he was unkillable and could straight up walk in 1v5 and take 0 damage because of the crazy damage reduction. Its kinda hard to find a way to not have him broken or useless.
Honestly it would be nice if the rework gave him a way living through an ability that can block damage rather than just raw sustain.
Never in any of my games. I suppose I am just built different.
He is a lot more consistent now but also feels off to play as,.also before the rework as tracer I could time and dodge his shots without blinking infront of him, now that’s go it hits like a brick always.
I used to like trolling hogs like that they would turn away and go vape.
Also as hog losing right click feels bad i used to land a few full on the face often it had a sweet feeling.
You don’t always kill but it was a threat tool just like his hook.
Now he is throwing crap on the floor just like his buddy.
