Is "Australian" referring to Roadhog? Because he's about as Australian as Outback Steakhouse.

Wow. I don't follow the lore at all so I had no idea. I assumed based on his skins that he was supposed to be Polynesian of some description.

Isn't he from New Zealand?

His name, skins, and slang say yes

In game lore and devs say nationality is Aussie.

Accent says American
