I’d like to call this a hot take… but its just the truth and you can’t change my mind. I needed to vent this somewhere.

This roadhog rework is objectively awful. Let’s recap:

Roadhog had a one-shot combo, it was how he functioned as a tank. He didn’t have great mitigation or space creation, he ONLY had his one-shot to rely on. People complained and moaned all day every day, so blizzard removed it and promised a rework. One that would focus on hog’s space creation and increase his team play.

Now to present day… how do they fix him? By giving him back his one-shot combo (with an extra step) and leaving him STILL with take-a-breather. I have no words other than “???”

They buffed him right out of the gate. I’ve been top500 on tank for several seasons now, but granted I’ve never ever been a roadhog main or anything close to the sort. But I’m ranting and fuming on behalf of all the tank players that want to play roadhog, but can’t because blizzard is SOOOOOOO f’ing lazy. They did everything they could to call this a rework with the absolute BARE minimum artwork and graphic designing possible. I understand it would be so much work to give him another mitigation ability because you’d have to make the animation, put it on EVERY skin he’s had, I get it…. But they had since season 2, it’s been 6 seasons guys… delay it if you need to, this rework is objectively awful.
