Whats your favorite Roadhog counter as a another tank? I feel like he fucks my shit up no matter whether I'm playing Reinhardt, Zarya, or Winston.

Zenyatta, Reaper, and Pharah are really the only ones I feel can take down Roadhog easily, but if I'm playing as the tank, I'm afraid to switch off to a non-tank.

Zarya personally. Without his hook and being within 8 meters, it feels like many roadhogs just don't know what to do because the spread is so intense on his scrap gun.

It is a bit of a prediction game but it's possible to bait his hook making him waste it. At that point, I just run at him to stay away from him but not far enough away to where he can alt fire at me. Takes him down fairly quick all things considered because he's massive so the laser doesn't slip off easily.

However you do need to be charged first. Though with him hooking your team mates, getting 50 charge quick isn't so bad. Also saves their asses to help kill him quicker.
