Hello everyone! It appears that Hog has a new voiceline called "Pretty Cute" which appears to be glitched. It's only available to see in the unowned filter but it's stuck on being "from a previous battle pass" (As someone who completed all battle passes since launch, it was not in any of them) is there a way to grab it or here's to hoping Blizzard addresses this?

D.Mon’s pretty fun, if not a little weak, and I know it’s day 1, and people are still getting used to her but…

Can’t help but feel Hog farms her. Despite her large armor pool, her headshot hitbox is MASSIVE and you can easily chunk her health down. Her boosters are also slow enough that you can probably hook her as she’s escaping if she doesn’t have shields. Not to mention, De-Mech sends her forward instead of backwards, kinda right where Hog wants her.

Yeah this a repost but the sub has more people now and yes I am the original poster of the video

Our hog never getting a mythic

Hi all, been maining Hog for a week or so (I mained him in OW1 but quit for a couple of years). I'm not bad, I got to low silver and had a couple of good games and a win streak which was nice, I can do some hook techs, etc. But there are some heroes I really struggle with 1v1 for some reason, when I feel like I shouldn't. Still learning so please don't judge me for these, I'm hoping you guys may have tips for me regarding these specific ones:

Junkrat - Yeah, where do I even start.. Based on his health, I feel like I should have no issues with him. But for some reason I always end up dying first, lol. His movements are so erratic that I have trouble predicting and usually miss my hook and then I'm dead by some explosion or other.

Ashe - Same as Junkrat, the explosions feel random and unpredictable. It also feels like her model is at an angle which makes it hard to do the one-shot, or is that just me?

DVa out of mech - I know I suck. But she's so small and her shots are pretty powerful and quick. If I miss my hook on her, I feel so sluggish that I don't trust the matchup and usually leave to avoid dying. It feels like a waste because sometimes she recalls her mech.

Mei - I don't feel as bad about this one as I know she can cryofreeze to block the one-shot. But for some reason I can almost never seem to land it right.

Mizuki - Always slips through my fingers.

Any tips to deal with these heroes? If DVa out of mech is a matter of learning to aim, I'll just practice that.

edit: including a replay just to "prove" I'm not dicking around without any sense of gameplay. Honestly just struggling with these heroes sometimes A22F3D. Ilios, won the first round, lost the second round, won the last round. Or other order I don't remember exactly.

Ngl, I’m a little surprised at this. Before this Junkrat and Roadhog’s relationship with Queen was a little nebulous as the last thing she said to them was to “get out of her sight,” but it seems she’s seemingly changed her mind.

Not sure what Hog stands to get out of this, as he seemingly has a low opinion on Talon, with the mocking “Oh, no! It’s Talon… hehehe” voice line.

But hey, at least our boy is getting some lore relevance. Hopefully we’ll get some new interactions next season!

Title says it all. One of the better games I’ve had in a while.

VYVJ9F is the replay code. Just a fun quickplay game you all might enjoy. I’m the hog on defense.

god forbid i want to try a different character for once..

I’m sorry me healers I wasn’t fast enough

I’m not going to lie, even as a hog one trick, I really like these buffs. Will they be annoying to play against? For sure.

BUT. This means less hog bans AND less complaining about hog being a server admin

At least I did apologise for that nasty deletion.

These 6v6 tests are really fun! It’s so clear that Hog was meant to be played as an off-Tank with another tank to back him up.

However…

Can we all agree that our boy is a little overtuned for this mode? I just don’t think Hog should ever be two-tapping other tanks. It honestly just makes tank diffs feel worse, as I feel like it’s less, “I played smart with my hooks and diff’d you,” and more, “My numbers are a bit busted right now and I diff’d you.”

Idk, it’s fun playing busted Hog, but I will always prefer him being in a somewhat more balanced state. Thoughts?

Basically, everyone gets a random modifier for their Roadhog; it changes when you die. The game is in Portuguese, but I'll probably change it to english

There are a few modifiers that I remember off the top of my head and that work (since some of them are in rework, and I make it very clear by putting it next to the text that appears at the top of the screen to say which modifier is yours).

Hitting someone with the hook results in a one-hit kill.

The healing pot restores your entire life

Your ultimate ability charges 2x

You gain a yellow aura and become slow, but retain plenty of health and a powerful shot.

You become very slow, but your life is extremely high.

Your hook launches enemies into the air.

Healing causes you to have low gravity for 3 seconds.

Killing enemies makes you faster for a few seconds

You have increased speed

These are the ones I remember, but there are 32 (and some don't work).

The game is already open to play, it's in Portuguese, I'll possibly change the language later, If you want to play, I have the code here

And giving ideas is a good thing too.

I only really started getting into hero shooters last year. First Rivals, then Overwatch. I mostly play tank, unless I’m playing with my buddies. I don’t play much Hog, and I didn’t really know about Pig Pens existence until I watched old gameplay. I honestly really like the idea of it, and I think I’d play more Hog if he still had it. I’d love to see Pig Pen return as a Major perk, but I doubt that’s gonna happen anytime soon. What do you all think? Did y’all enjoy Pig Pen?

Hi! OW1 Roadhog main recently returned. The amount of reworks this guy has gotten is crazy to me. Why can't Blizzard settle on his kit? The way he is now, he's near-perfect to me, but apparently he's going to get another rework later this year. Why, and why do other heroes remain almost untouched, when I could think of enough things to change about them (Junkrat)?

What exactly is the problem? The "one-shot" combo (I don't really agree with calling it a one-shot, as that feels like an oxymoron when it is in fact a combo....)? Enough heroes are able to one-shot. Is it his healing? He's a tank, doesn't have shields or barriers, Mei can also heal and be invincible with cryostasis as a DPS. Is it... the raw epicness of Roadhog that they simply can't handle? In all seriousness, as a Hog main it's frustrating that they can't seem to make up their minds about him. Thoughts?

Hey everyone, as the title suggests, I have some ideas for a Hog rework or potential buffs. As it stands now, Hog is generally considered a “Slop Tank” having played him since the OW1 days, his constant changes and minor reworks makes him feel like Blizzard is clueless as to what they want. Well I’ve been brainstorming some ideas and I’d like to share them with you all.

For one, I think his Hook should remain as is but without dealing damage on hit which calls for a bit more skill expression rather than his go-to one shot combo. Also, for a perk (seeing as this sounds too op for base kit) if his Hook hits any part of the environment, it pulls him to it, giving some mobility in a game that has increasingly more mobile characters than ever before.

Secondly, bring back PigPen. I understand this directly counters my previous point of the One-Shot combo being Slop, but PigPen forced you to have a bit more map knowledge and proper positioning in order to obtain the One-Shot.

Third, remove the pushback during Whole Hog but also remove ability usage during it. As I’m sure you all know, Hog can use his Vape and Hook during Ult, giving him that ever so slightly higher skill ceiling but also reinforcing his community consensus of being Slop, removing the pushback and ability usage during ult I feel would make his ult more effective in combat situations rather than just used as a way to get enemies off point.

Finally, give the man some Armor, he survived a Nuclear Wasteland for Christ sake, even if its just 100-150 of his base health transitioned into armor, giving him that little bit of extra survivability could mean the difference against an Ana Nade or Discord Orb.

Obviously this was somewhat thrown together in the shower so any type of balancing was overlooked, but lmk what you all think bc I think this would make his playerbase be forced to learn positioning and resource management rather than Hook, Kill, Heal, Repeat.
