    He had high DPS, high sustain, and the ability to get easy 1hks every 8 seconds. He countered pretty much every hero in the game. Roadhog was literally the best 1v1 hero in the game. I don't think roadhog was OP in 6v6, but he was unfun to play against. Now Pharmercy needs a nerf, and my wishlist is complete.

    roadhog literally never had a high pick or winrate in the pros and his pubwinrate was nothing special. He got nerfed because dipshit reddit crybaby genji mains complained about not being able to deal with it.

    It's because roadhog's abilities allowed a style of play was completely counter intuitive to how overwatch is intended to be played.

    He could flank with no support and be fine, he countered his main counters, he could one hit everything that wasn't a tank (and even then you could hook-shoot-melee Zarya).

    You lose the ability to one hit now, which encourages more team play. Sure you can't pull in something and instakill, but if you're standing there with your team then your target will still die.

    :roll:

    he was so OP that's why he spent the last year at a sub 30% pick rate in pro play.

    The stats proved that roadhog was fine. it was shitters who complained about it until he got nerfed.

    the hero was borderline unplayable last patch. now he's got an 8 second CD hook that deals no damage, a gun that deals no damage and an entire cast that can rip through him one 1 v 1. He has to hook enemies into his team but if hog is standing out in the open, he's already fed the enemy reaper an entire death blossom by the time hook lands and pulls someone. The hero is unplayable trash now.

    You don't balance a game based on pro play.

    He absolutely destroys at lower tier matchmaking.
    (Where most of the player base is)

    Besides, the reason he isn't being picked right now is because dive is super meta.

    Sorry they nerfed your main, but roadhog was one of the best carry heroes in the game that required much less skill than others.

    Just become a pharmercy pro like everyone else.

    the absolute best e-sport in the world is dota 2 and it's balanced entirely around pro play. There are heroes with 58%+ pub winrates that are never picked in the pros.

    Balancing for pubs is for casuals.

    Got a few 1hk hooks earlier on roadhog. Don't remember which heroes I hooked, but seems like he can still insta kill some heroes.

    Switching to DVa as my tank main from Roadhog. I wish I could get the hang of Zarya but it seems like I either have the game of my life 10% of the time and the other 90% I'm completely useless.

    I'm pretty handy with all of Soldier, Bastion, Sombra, DVa, Rein and Lucio now. Still keep trying with Genji but I am garbage

    Here's some random thoughts:

    1. I dont think the nerf is that bad, he could do too many things. Everything is the same except now he can't one shot everyone. DPS hasnt changed. Hook-shoot-melee is low skill and shouldnt award instakills 90% of the time. Play him like the high dps tank with cc abilites he is.
    2. Overwatch is most definitely balanced around pro play. Not a big deal. All games like this are.
    3. I forgot the rest

    Road hog was in every game I played last night and every road hog I played against was still annoying. I think if you were an effective road hog before the nerf you are probably still effective.

    Were you playing on the PTR? I don't think it's active yet right?

    But yes, the Reaper regen ability they are giving him sounds awful.

    I was a fairly good Hog and now I basically don't pick him, first few times were just awful. Update just completely changed him, which wasn't the case with other nerfs.

    I'm basically all Zarya/Tracer/McCree or heals now. Got up to like 3700 then dropped so I could play with my shitty friends.

    i get what they're trying to do with hog, but he can't really be played right now. move the hook cooldown back to 6, or even 5, and give him a bit of armor. there, i fixed roadhog. hire me bliz

    Can't fucking stand when someone rage quits after the team shits the bed in the first round. Thanks, bro. We probably weren't going to win but now we definitely won't.

    Had someone quit after we got to basically 1.5 on offense on Anubis. We didn't play great but it's not like that's an unwinnable game

    Most annoying hero in the game to play against?

    Dva and her goddamn defense matrix that literally counters half of the ults in the game.

    Oh here's have a nice quad kill with my high noo...(Dva flies in front of me and DMs for 30 seconds). Well then!
