just fucking kill yourself.
you're making the game worse for everyone.
>>345309813
Was your other thread not enough?
There's nothing wrong with Roadhog. He's a good tank, which is exactly what he's supposed to be.
>>345310117
lol
>tank
he one-shots every hero in the game except reinhardt and zarya. self-heal half his health on a what? 5 sec cooldown?
yeah, very balanced. get the fuck out.
>>345310631
Stop being shit at video games and making bad threads
>>345310631
But that's just wrong. Play him; either you win a majority of your games because he's so OP and then blizzard will start to notice like with Cowboy and Blueberry, or you'll learn his weaknesses and won't have to complain on an image board anymore
>>345310631
He's also massive ult charge bait for the opposing team, and as long as you're not literally standing still he can basically never hook you. He's supposed to be intimidating, that's the role he fills. He has lots of health, can self heal, and still remain a threat at close range.
Roadhog on defense is the closest thing the game has to a hard carry. You can delete one enemy every six seconds and provided you don't let yourself get mobbed you should never die. His ult is great for countering enemy ults and repelling team pushes.
Pro tip: if he hooks you, walk sideways out of his sight -
Everyone runs backwards, making it easier for him to hit you.
Reaper.
Pharah.
Soldier 76.
Reinhardt.
Mccree.
Basically all the Offense characters are a counter to Roadhog that can take him down easily. Put up Reinhardt's shield and he blocks all scrap gun shots and the hook.
I'm not gonna lie and say that Roadhog isn't a good character, but looking at what the other Tanks have (high HP shields, charging dashes, projectile strike that does 100 damage, monkey jumps), Roadhog has no movement options, no way to defend himself, and a very short range with which to deal damage effectively. The only thing he's got to protect himself is the self-heal, which is only useful if you challenge him one on one with characters that don't deal damage quickly. Just stay at a decent range and hitscan/fire rockets/harass him.

OP never said anything about overpowered.
Road Hog and Tracer arent OP if you counter, they're just a pain in the ass to deal with to the point where the game stops being fun.
Fun killer is worse than opverpowered
>>345309813
Roadhog is one of the most balanced heroes in the game. Apply yourself, Anon.
>>345309813

what dose he mean with this?

Mad cos bad
git gud
>>345312804
weebshit being weebshit
>>345310117
>Good tank
He's actually a shit tank, because he sits there charging everyones ult. No bullshit, I've been on teams with Roadhog and the enemy 76 AND McCree had their ults charged in 30 seconds. Granted, the hog was a dumbass. But he's not a good tank. He's a good off-tank and defense hero.
>>345313265
lmfao. i'm a roadhog main and I bet it's frustrating when every time you rejoin your team you get hooked and killed. i remember this one game where I won 2 2v1s and 2 1v1s in consecutive order. that's gotta suck when you and your buddies die to a roadhog twice in under 20 seconds
>>345309813
Roadhog players are based as fuck though. Fuck Bastion queerlords. Fuck Mei (in her fat ass). FUCK Genji. Eat shit Symmetrafags. Everyone else idc
>>345312804
It's le cute. LE CUTE!
XD
Wasn't everyone saying roadhog was bad when the game released, since he is an ultimate generator for the other team.
>>345313597
>Roadhog main
I bet you don't have a great winrate to back up all those sick duels.
you get one hook in most 1v1s, if you miss it, you're dead. that's whats awesome about roadhog. also he's not dependent on the team at all if ganking solo
>>345313761
back when master overwatch was still ranking players by their hero overall, i was Roadhog ~#450 across the world. idk what it'd be now but I also scored high in ranking just going solo (lvl 58). also i know how to kill with right click and i know how to deal with other roadhogs. yeah m8 i'd say i'm ok
>>345312804
Scho-Ka-Kola that has melted but it still tastes good so she is fine that berlin is burning
Reaper the Edge Spic, psssh nothing personnel kid
Literally no skill involved at all, babby's first team based shooter character. Even a braindead can play him
Roadhog is like the Zenyatta of tanks. He's great to have around, provided you have a Rein or Dva to be your real tank. I love playing with him as Zarya, too. 50% charge from bubbling him, then 100% from bubbling myself and it's on like Michelle Kwan. Between his hook and shot and my beam literally nothing survives us.
>>345314504
Dva real tank, lol maybe after her update hits the live servers but until then, no. Shes a flank-tank/offtank

>>345314431
You sound mad. how many times has he wiped your team out with his le spinny shotgun move
>>345309813
if he's so fucking OP then why does every comp team pick 4 winstons and zero hogs?
Well, I consistently get MVP, gold medals and an upward of 5 votes as Roadhog. In the hands of a competent player he is a credit to the team.
Plus, he's extremely easy to counter if you bait one into hooking you.
>>345309813
no xd
>>345309813
what I don't understand about RH is that, as tracer, about half the time I can recall out immediately after his hook, and half the time I can't and insta-die instead.
Is this because of tick rate, me being shit half the time (and not hitting E fast enough) or roadhog being shit half the time (and not shooting fast enough) ?
>>345309813
>having troubles with the walking ult dispenser
>playing overwatch
this is why this board is shit and nobody take it seriously
>>345311242
this is wrong, if you hold LMB as roadhog, the enemy cannot move. They are stunned long enough to shoot once.
>>345315304
man... i've seen it where I hook a tracer right before she recalls and my hook travels with her and brings her to me. but i've also seen where I hook them and their recall makes my hook just drop. most often than not, i kill her before she recalls
can we use this retarded thread to actually talk about the matchmaking
I'm actually amazed at how unstable a person's rank seems to be
I calibrated at 47, fell all the way down to 40 in a day, climbed to 50 the next day and 53 the day after. Then down to fucking 39 over the next two days.
If you compare the spread between absolute shitters and pros, that means that my rank movement would be the equivalent of moving something like 1000 - 1500 mmr in dota, over a DAY.
Roadhog's hook is complete bs mainly because its client-side, that's why he can hook you through walls and objects, not to mention the huge as fuck hitbox it has.
They need to make this game 60tick if its ever going to be truly competitive
>>345315606
No its a delayed hitscan you mong.
>>345315606
tickrate is an extremely miniscule part of it
the main problem is just that the servers are complete dogshit and everyone has a high as fuck ping
>>345315565
Started at 60. Went up to 64. Dropped to 54.
Its unstable because you either
A. Have a close game
B. Get raped and you lose XP regardless if your team left
C. Steam Roll them and gain next to no XP because a memeber of thier team left
1 step forward 2 steps back
>>345314102
LOL
master overwatch ranking. where playtime trumps skill.
you're "that guy"
>>345315565
I calibrated at 55 and got to 60. Just group with similarly skilled players and you won't drop so dramatically
>>345315770
Stop parroting shit Jeff says please.
Its not true.
Zarya's more of a pain in the arse desu
she effectively has 600 health or gets at least 2 full seconds of free damage on you before you can fight back.
she's literally a pubstomp character, he entire kit just completely destroys a bunch of uncoordinated fucks, and her ulti is pretty much a "you win this teamfight" button.
Makes it so easy to combo her ult into other ults with 0 communcation
>>345315973
>>345315973
oh so it's the "find a party or get fucked" system, fantastic.
So this is apparently the skill rating spread, and it's clearly fucked. You can't have a matchmaking system where the top and bottom 25%s are utterly unused (apart from the single guy at skill rating 8 holy shit)
So I guessed if the entire spread of 1-100 was used, the amount you lose / gain from a win or loss would make sense - but right now because matchmaking is effectively 35-65, you're moving up a whole percentile with nearly every win, which is clearly retarded.
>>345316175
She's annoying but her damage block is pretty negligible and her DPS is moderate at best even at full charge.
>>345316175
To stop Zarya 1-2-3, here's a fresh new way that's trouble free. It's got anonymous' guaranteeeee! (Guarantee void in Tennesee)
Just don't shoot!
Just don't shoot!
>>345316330
Why would you want to play competitive without a party?
>>345316350
>and her DPS is moderate at best even at full charge
Isn't it the highest in the game at full charge, barring ults?
>>345316529
The dynamic queue crybabbies who said they'd move to Overwatch is your problem now famalam.
>>345316570
If I remember correctly the highest dps aside from turret-form bastion is tracer followed by closely by reaper. if you check theoverwatch general in /vg/they have a spreadsheet on the matter.
All I want from the matchmaking is:
1. The ability to filter out people on teams.
2. The ability to set a spread of levels to match against. I get that it might be unfair to match up low level new players with higher ones, but since I passed level 100 it takes noticeably longer to get into a game because it has to put as many starred people on a team as it can.
>>345309813
>Son, I am breast
I don't think its because of being over powered or non-counterable or whatever thats the problem with Roadhog.
Its frustration, for both the person playing against the Roadhog and for the person fucking playing him. When you were Flashbanged by McCree you knew you were dead and that you would be respawning again soon. Basically it was over quickly and relatively painlessly. Being hooked by Hog on the other hand, takes fucking ages depending on how far away you are, its a coin toss if the Hog is good enough to do his little combo at the other end and thats even before you add in dodgy hook hitboxes, favouring the shooter, ticrate and netcode. Then theres the times when the hook goes tits and the enemy ends up behind you. Which is ok if your playing a team Hog because you have just pulled someone into the middle of your team, for the person being hooked thats just more frustration because they need to try and escape the fucking bullshit or just give up and die.
>Enemy team has Roadhog
>My team has Reinhardt
>Roadhog doesn't even give a shit and goes right into Reinhardts face and proceeds to two shot him
>>345317473
Theres really shit all you can do as a Rein when theres a Hog in your face.
Drop your shield once and its hook time, charge him and fail to kill with the charge and you've put him in the perfect position to Left Click your big fat head.
>>345313738
That's only the case if you run into good players.
I stopped playing Roadhog after going 6 stack because other premades aren't retarded. Roadhog was just shut down completely and I was more often dead than I could hook someone.
In pubs he's a beast because pubs are retarded and don't understand simple things like keeping your distance to not get hooked or killed by a mid-range shot.
>>345317237
Nothing was more frustrating than the flashbang combo bullshit that came from Mcree. It made turning every corner in the game into a potential instant death.
I would rather have them buff roadhog then experience that bullshit again.
>>345317792
Thats entirely not what I meant but ok.
>>345313412
that some animals are more equal than others
>>345309813
salt salt salt. sounds like you need practise, my friend.
>>345317473
If my team can't deal with a fucking Roadhog coming up to my shield and killing me I have no idea how they'd be able to win the game anyways.
>>345315530
tracer is wierd one time I hooked her and she got hooked to the side to the point I had to turn to hit her but she had time to blink away.
>>345317931
You're saying that it takes "ages" for the kill to happen with roadhog and it's messy while it's instant and clean with Mcree.
I'm saying that the Mcree combo happened out of nowhere and every corner you came across you were potentially dead.
Flashbang combo was more frustrating.
>>345309813
I can kill a Roadhog as Lucio.
AS LUCIO.
Keep moving, maybe peek around corners, just keep back, he has fuck all range and if you're getting headshots while he tries to heal, he'll have less health than when he started the heal. Even if you're not getting headshots he's just about the biggest target in the game, have your team focus fire momentarily and he's gone.
Additionally, like any tank, Pharah, Junkrat, and Lucio can all essentially 1-hit him if they knock him off the map. I got this one Roadhog so many times at Ilios he was genuinely refusing to come near the objective, kept trying to hook me out of the area instead
>>345318552
Such is life of Reinhardt in pubs. If your team is retarded and doesn't know how to play just go Roadhog.
With Roadhog you can at least one-shot people and turn the tide of the battle on your own.
>>345309813
Now you know how CM players feel when there's a Pudge on the enemy team.
>>345314935
Because unlike random quick games where everyone fucks off and does their own thing, comp teams stick together and go for the point.
Winston contests the point better than anyone else by disrupting everything and letting his team come in to finish off the enemy.
Roadhog picks off one guy at the edge of the enemy group to kill them one at a time.
>>345315360
that depends on how far the hook has to travel
Im pretty sure youll always do a meaty but the stun timer begins when you land the hook. The further the hook the longer the animation equals a bit shorter advantage for hog
>>345309813
just fucking kill yourself.
And you're making the board worse for everyone.
>>345310631
what? you're just outing yourself as somebody who has never played him. i mean yeah, you cant hook line and sinker some of the low hp dudes like tracer and zenyata but hook a Mei, Reaper or any tank except Winston or another hog and you're fucked.
you're just shit at the game annon. calm down and rework your strats is all you need to do, maybe get some practise while your at it too
also if slow ass road hog manages to waddle away and heal the error is on your end. im guessing you main hanso every game or some shit
>>345316570
It is quite high, assuming she lands M2 every time on 3~ units. Her hitbox is xboxhuge though, just need to drop her with a boosted JR or something.
But I'm making the game so much more fun for me.
Anyway, when I'm not playing my big boi he's not even one of the heroes I hate facing off against.
>>345318663
keep dreaming you fucking idiot. you're playing in the 30-40 skillrating bracket.

>Such is life of Reinhardt in pubs.
The worst character to play in low level pubs. How can I feel so alone in a team of 6.
>>345310631
as mainly a roadhogabuser I have to agree. Use him while you can lads, he will inevitably end up nerfed soon. Played him in placements exclusively 9W - 1L ended up at 68. Shit was fucking easy mode tßh
>>345325151
Honestly he just needs his hooks sorting out and I don't know how anyone could object to that. The thing is a fucking heat seeking missile. It can be avoided, sure, I'm not saying it's impossible, or even that difficult, but it's still a poor mechanic to be so ridiculously lenient with what it determines is a hit, and pulling people from around corners
>>345323521
If there is a Reinhardt on my team I try my best to utilize his shield as much as possible, because there are way too many times where I spend 80% of the game unable to locate my team because they would rather lone wolf.
