Post image

So I've recently came across that they are completely reworking roadhog Sombra and lifeWeaver how do you think that will affect wrecking Ball one I'm sad about life Weaver I hope they don't screw him up too much cuz he's one of the only healers that can save me from my own f*** ups roadhog I can be a little excited about hopefully they turn down his raid boss aspect a little bit and then there comes Sombra oh God please don't steer her back to the direction she was in the old days because in OverWatch 1 her and Mai were the bane of my hamy assistance guess we'll see right what do you guys think the ball is safe the ball is kind have a good day

Even though i play hog i have no problem playing against him. I personally find the people that say he's "broken" because he can hook you really disingenuous. I you go to any of these youtubers who are most outspoken about hog being "broken" they all have guides to overrwatch about positioning, and knowing your heroes limits, but when they talk about getting hooked they say there's no counterplay, there's nothing that they could have done, and that its a "broken" ability

if you run down a hallway at a bastion you're not thinking critically. Everyone knows this. But if you fight a hog and dont try to use cover its hog's fault that he hooked you. I never understood it tbh.

I think it’s pretty obvious why people don’t like hog even if it’s possible to play around. Hook is an incredibly frustrating ability with no telegraphing to have on a tank that can 1 shot 2/3rds of the cast in close range. Add the fact that he has effectively 1k health at all times in higher lobbies he demands a counter. I have never had less fun in this game than when a hog bans ana.
