Roadhog is pretty much a useless tank now. His one shot potential was really his main point, sure his self heal was okay, but to use that effectively you have to use it out of battle, and that isn't easy when you're in a team fight. He sees almost no play in higher levels of play now, his main role was a shield buster, and a tank buster, but now he can't even one shot 200 HP heroes.........

Wait Aimi is that really you? But yeah. Kinda sad because it feels almost impossible for roadhog to 1v1 some heroes like Reaper :')

Yes, it's me :D. Reaper is in a really strong spot, almost too strong of a spot because of how common dive comp is now. Reaper can pretty much solo winston, and dva no problem because of his new passive, and roadhog was a REALLY strong counter to reaper, but now not so much. The best counter I can think for him is mccree, and pharah. Of course Hanzo and widow are in that area too, but I wouldn't really consider one shot heroes a common counter since people suck with them usually.

Roadhog always manages to hook Pharah in the sky which kinda sucks. Not sure how effective that is anymore with the nerf but I can definitely see how weaker roadhog god. As a low health character I've been hooked, shot, and survived it. Which wasn't really possible in the past.

Yeah they need to rework hog again for sure, they really just did too much to him. He already had his one shot taken down because of the hook cool down change, and they also fixed the black hole hooks.

I noticed him being played a lot less. Especially for gamemodes like 3v3 elimination which he is pretty much always played on.
