    True as fuck about the tank role part. Far, far too many people think tank is just a damage and cd sponge when that isn’t true at all. People complained about Hog being a “dps tank”, then wtf is Reinhardt? His shield isn’t for his team, so why should Hog’s breather give his team health and why should he expect his team to follow up on hooks?

      Thats why I see Sigma as the textbook tank

      Because he’s the complete opposite of “Just a beatstick with a lot of health”

        Sigma is the weird one. Tanks aren’t supposed to be stationary space holders, they’re supposed to be aggressive space takers, so they kinda are just big dps.

      Sure, he’s very hard to kill but isn’t that good? You can farm ult off him very easily. With Orisa who people complain about, you can’t because fortify has a damage reduction and javelin spin straight up eats damage. Orisa mitigates damage, Hog straight up just takes it, so he has to be strong to compensate for the fact that the enemy team is always gonna have more ults than you.

      exactly and hog players really thought he needed even more heals…and then they say he needs more buffs because ana exists as if ana doesn’t counter half the tank roster as well plus kiri bap exists. He’s more fun to play but way more annoying to fight

    So the good kind of tanks, the one that feel like playing a tank, protecting your mates and such?

    Look at the role of a tank on a modern battlefield its big slow hard hitting and tough to kill

    Slow? 70kmh, tough to kill? Laughs in javelin.

    Nerf at-least in gm. Feels like I have less health to depend on mid fight. Now you spend more time healing than fighting its super annoying. New primary fire is cool tho.

    They buffed him immediately after the rework??? I had only played a few games of him so far but I thought he was pretty strong. I was able to play into 4 counters pretty effectively and win the game in Masters elo. That damage reduction buff is huge cause now anti has even less of a chance to get you killed. And if you have suzu I don’t know how hog can even die now
