No its a fact that he kills most of the characters with one hit. Thats his damage output. This has nothing to do with skill thats how hes designed

>>376478594
IT's the fact you're also shit.

>>376478459
As long as you're not retarded about it, reaper can easily kill him. He's designed to surprise enemies. Get behind him and attack especially if he already used his hook.

Not an argument.
You can go ahead and keep defending your character that takes ZERO skill to play.

>>376478785
>>376478235

this, zen is fucking annoying as fuck especially if the enemy team also has a roadhog

>>376478696
And as long as you're not a retarded Roadhog, no Reaper will ever kill you.

I agree his fundamental design is badly flawed (durr what class should this character of whom all his skills revolve around killing be?...a tank of course, so slap on that 600hp), but if he's single handedly ruining your team, its because your dps is awful. Every single time his fat ass ever steps into view, everyone should be railing into him. His head hitbox is enormous, and he has to stand still for at least 1 full second to do it Anytime he hooks outside of a barriers protection, he should be dead or nearly dead after finishing it. All it takes is 1 competent soldier or mccree to do this.

Likewise, if he's flanking you by himself, everyone should just turn and run him over. For example, a common strat I see in low tier games on Hollywood is his entire team will be standing on the point defending, whereas he'll be on the other side of the choke near the stairs by himself throwing out hooks off cooldown. The attacking team will just sit at the choke petrified of dying to him if they go forward and inevitably lose, when they could easily just make him explode since its 1v6 and he has no one protecting him.

>>376477918
Every post I see on here about Overwatch has to be like sub gold or something, you can literally just pick Zarya and focus Roadhog completely. I wouldn't expect awful players to know that.

>>376478235
Might have been true before orb of discord was nerfed, is completely untrue now.

I like when you're playing hog 1v1 another hog and he hooks you first and you just blast him

>>376478040
Can Sombra take him down in the few seconds she has before his heal and hook are available again?

I don't play roadhog and every person that bitches about roadhog is always fucking gold or plat.

>>376478796
His optimal range is anything less than extreme long-range, and thanks to the way maps are built he can easily position himself somewhere where you can only hit him if you're within hook range.

>>376477918
Fucking love playing against Roadhogs.
They're like giant sacks of free ult charge most of the time.
And when they play it safe and only pop out for a hook attempt, they feel like no threat at all.

Not often do I actually feel like I'm playing against a good roadhog. But fuck me when that does happen.

They fix his hook yet? Haven't played in a while.

I'd say reaper but close quarters against hog with a squishy character is suicide. Soldier has an adcantage at long range, but if hog can advance in cover he can kill soldier easily. Hog doesn't have a hard counter like winston v genji, but he also doesn't contribute as much to a team fight like a rein for example.

See the thing about Widow is that she has 1/3rd of the hp, gets countered hard, and you have to actually be good at predicting shots and managing your ammo unlike Hanzo.
That and you have to be precise. With roadhog you just look in someone's general direction, use your broken as fuck hook hitbox and secure a kill. There's no skill or effort involved.

>>376478471
I know everyone has already said it but he's really not op, he seems op when he walks around a corner and kills you, maybe you should adjust the way you play so that you don't die to hooks all the time

It's all situational. The best roadhog player will still die by a reaper at some point given the circumstance. 1v1 with the roadhog being aware of reaper, probably not. but then again why would reaper fight roadhog 1v1 when he knows your there.

Roadhog can kill Zarya with a Hook+M1+Melee combo. One second and she goes from full health to dead. Orisa goes to critical health from the same combo, as does Winston and Reinhardt.

>stay out of his optimal range!

So stay more than 20 meters from him and hope you can dink him enough before the healer rides his ass and/or he huffs his bong and pray he doesn't come toward you.

Tbh I think she's at her best when she's really close to people. At that range it takes little skill to direct impact, you only take like 20 splash dmg from it, its much harder for the hitscan to hit you, let alone out dps you to the kill, and when its over you can just boop yourself away. I think her jets need to be made louder and splash damage to herself be increased to discourage using her in very close quarters (shouldn't close quarters explosions be junkrats thing?)

Truly a hard counter

The problem isn't him but the map design

Range is one of his weakness but since every map is clusterfuck chokeholds he dominates there are some open lanes but theres plently of cover for him to duck off into

Reducing his hook cooldown was needed as it was being abused quite obnoxiously however i think the hooks range needs to be reduced slightly

When roadhog was hooking people through multiple walls it should have been the obvious that perhaps its too long
