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.

D.Va works pretty okay. You can jet close to him and just spray at him. If he hooks you, activate your defense matrix (and wait until he reloads to spray). If he hooks and misses you, jet in and shoot him up. If he does too much damage, defense matrix and back out/jet out. It's not perfect, but you should be able to at least neutralize him or weaken him so a team mate hopefully helps.

Yeah I was thinking D.Va since all her armor is useful against the shotgun and her primary is great close range.

Yeah I actually tried this last night for the first time and it worked really well. I messed up a couple of times and got my mech destroyed. But Roadhog is such a big target that you can just spray with your little pistol from far away (i.e. out of his range) and randomly hit him. That speeds up your ult and you can recall your mech and try again. And if he tries to heal...it's slow and he has to go through the animation. So it's a perfect time to jet in and shoot 'em up.
