    So the moon map sucks, right? Attacking point B especially is like comedically hard.

    Exactly. Mei can manage to be annoying when she's on your fucking team. Easily the worst

    Outside of one game I don't think I've failed to full cap the moon map.

    That's mainly because so many people have no idea what to do yet.

    Doomfist cinematic coming soon, I believe.

    I don't think people are gonna argue that blizzard didn't over do it a little. I think anyone that consistently plays the game will argue that road hog is not dead by any means, you just have to play him different.

    Hog is now primarily a cc god, well, he is intended to be at least. Problem is hook is on that long cooldown. Move ot back to 6, maybe even 5, and hog is good again

    It's been close to a month since the massive Roadhog nerf, more than enough time for people to "learn how to play Hog differently".

    Let's look at the results over the past week shall we?

    Roadhog has the 7th lowest pick-rate across all heroes at all levels at 1.48%. That percentage drops to 7th at 1.22% at Diamond, 5th at 0.84% in Masters, and 3rd lowest at 0.42% in Grand Master, ahead of only Mei and Bastion, but only barely.

    He has the 2nd worst win-rate, of all heroes, in the entire game, 43.59%, ahead of only Sombra at 42.73%. In Diamond, Masters, and Grand Masters, he has the lowest win-rate in all 3.

    He has the 4th lowest on-fire rate over that time, 8.13%. On fire is by no means a very good metric, but I throw it out there regardless.

    In the top 100, there are 8 total people who have Roadhog in their top 5 most played heroes this season. None has him higher than 4th in the top 500. Of those 8 in the top 100 who do have him in their top 5 heroes this season, only two have played him within the last 3 weeks, and only 1 within the last 10 days.

    So, since his nerf a hero has one of the lowest pick-rates in the game. With one of the worst win-percentages in the game. With almost no one at a high level picking him, at all. Junkrat, considered probably the worst hero in the game, has a higher win-rate than Hog since the nerf.

    So Blizzard, is it perhaps time to admit mistake in this whole thing and give Hog something to make him even slightly relevant again?

    anyone who thinks roadhog wasn't nerfed into trash tier is a retard

    top 500 guys aren't playing them because people haven't figured out how and they don't want to lose their rank. probably still doing it on alts.

    Just because I like playing rein doesn't mean he needs be at the top of the meta again, he's trash tier now and they didn't even nerf him besides his ult, but heroes change categories all the time.

    If roadhog stays like this then he will get a buff.

    There are plenty of trash tier heroes. The game is literally 100% more fun now that hog's skillless 1hk combo is gone.

    :roll:

    they're not playing him because he's fucking worthless. there exists no combination of map, opponents or circumstance that would ever make picking roadhog worth it.

    D-vas ult is junk. I'm embarrassed if I get killed by it outside of a zarya ult combo

    Dva ult flying from cover over a ledge straight into your team with no barrier tank /barrier on cooldown is almost an automatic 2-3 kills. Just gotta watch enemy winston and time it correctly. Most Dvas use it as a stall device though (me included), but the ult can win team fights instantly. All depends on the opposing team's barrier.

    My personal favorite use is to instant kill Pharmercy combos with it. It's pretty useful ult. But I guess if you launch it and get 0, it's junk. Not that it matters because Dva's DM cancels out at least 3 ults per her own wasted Dva ult tbh.

    Also, fuck dva

    Combo Zarya junkrat ults was a good combo

    Since I've been maining Zarya mostly lately, I've just been timing her shield when the inevitable D.Va ult comes calling
