I’ve been playing Roadhog since I got Overwatch in mid 2017. I’ve adored him for so many years, and he’s my third most played hero. And I can say without a doubt that his rework is confusing and ruined him for good (for me at least.)
To kill anyone now, I have to dance around a 12 sec cd mine and fish for people stupid enough to stand in my LOS for too long. It’s extremely situational and even more boring. How am I supposed to tank without pick potential?
And with reduced damage reduction on breather Hog literally explodes if he’s spamed with choke damage even more than before. Wasn’t one of their goals literally to increase his front line capability?
Honestly theres just something terribly wrong with Blizz’s attempts to tune / balance heroes. The balance in this game is pure ass.
They should have swapped out the secondary fire for a shield and left everything else the way it was.
My biggest issue is he is a worse JQ in terms of damage and his new heal is outpaced by almost EVERYTHING. Making it less of a tank ability more of an “oh my healer is ignoring me” thing
